How do you get the retractable third leg to come out enough? I have it, and while the leg retracts and can touch the ground if the droid is standing straight up, it does not extend enough to touch the ground if the droid is angled forward like he is in the movies and in the cover photo on the box. If you tilt the droid forward, the middle leg hovered off the ground and as soon as you let go the droid returns to the straight up posture with the third leg down. This is a completely wrong look and seems like a mistake. I checked all the directions and built everything according to spec. How do you get the retractable third leg to come out enough?

First try pulling it out while angling the droid. If that does not work sometimes the little grey 8 toothed gears get wedged in the technic blocks ( the ones with the holes in the side) within the mechanism.

I was able to do it after trying for a while by angling his side legs a little backwards. It has those blocks on each side that keep his legs from going back so you have to gently lift them up and move them so they are clear of the blocks then you can get the front foot to touch by angling his feet.

I checked my son's R2 and it seems pretty much like you described. It also seems like those box-like attachments on the inside of the two main legs don't help getting it in good tilted positions either. I know he loves his, but it is more of a show piece, like his Death Star, than an every day active playing piece. He only plays with his R2 when he's showing it off to people!

I'm not sure I can help, but yes I noticed a slight problem when putting the legs. The center leg is retractable, make sure that you push to its maximum, then R2-D2 would stand properly :-) Also the side leg can rotate, from vertical to a back position.

Couldn't say I have never seen a droid phone up close. When I put my iPhone in the case there isn't a lot of extra space so if the droid is any bigger I would say no.

when it comes to this types of figures put a towel down or a sheet and work right there, small pieces get lost easily, i treasure my ronin warriors armor plus ! google around and try to find a forum or a site where other people collect this stuff and hopefully someone has some extra parts, i had to do it for my ronin warriors

It looks like they should just pull off however it looks difficult. I just bought the special tennis balls that you can get on amazon and pushed them over the two back legs and it works perfectly for me. Sorry, I couldn't be more helpful.

****EDIT****I This answer was for another product. I changed it to reflect this product.***Once you lay the screen protector down you can not lift it up to readjust. The youtube video I saw said it was ok to try and adjust it if you don't get it lined up the first time. I centered the speaker hole and then realized the speaker cutout was not centered. once i lifted it back up it would not reapply. and yes they changed something because the speaker grill no longer centers like explained in the video I watched. LIkea few reviews said buy 3 because you may need to use them all just to get one clean install with no dust.

I had the same problem at the beginning, it does takes a little more strength than I expected but I just pull it out strong enough until it snaps off, I try it to contain the whole thing with my body (unless it has touched something nasty). Most of the time the legs snap out completely and I just pop them back in.

I left my Kindle with my wife for 60 seconds while I moved the car, and she managed to get this screen up.. How did she manage do to it? The hard restart that Mustafa speaks of worked just fine.. I just want to know how she managed to get the screen up and make it stay up.

I just received mine and noticed there is very slight rocking and the 4th leg is not touching the floor like the other 3 but not big enough gap to put a book under, thought maybe its a safety design feature but not sure. I may get a better idea once I start using it.

I found it to be more of a hassle to return it. It's like once you get it to "levitate" you don't dare touch it or it falls down. My son didn't care bc he loves dr. Who so we still have it. I'd send it back if there wasn't a third party involved. Sorry and good luck

I was confused, too, Misha. I finally realized that the small cylinder at the top that has the ring in it unscrews. It was attached tightly but, with a little effort, it will turn. That cylinder detaches completely and the top can then just be lifted off. I hope you haven't thrown the feeder in front a train like I felt like doing at first. By the way, finches love it. When it is full, they cover the outside of it.

Agree with the two previous posts. If you move the pocket clip you can deploy it from either side, additionally you can draw it in a forward or rearward motion. The videos on youtube will help you get the motion down. Good luck! If you don't like it send me an email. I'll take it off your hands.

I found they sometimes get a bit stuck. Normally they should come out by pushing them lightly. Usually it helped when I unscrewed that bit just slightly until the legs drop out and then screw it up again.

I'm wondering about this as well...seems like it would have this issue. I just got one but am concerned about using it until my 4 month old can roll in all directions and right himself if need be.

I have looked around and have found no sellers for just the retractable stock. My best suggestion is to buy a cheaper version that costs a lot less just for the stock if that is what you're looking for.

Because the top arm rachets out all you have to do is pull up a little before pulling away from the dock. The arm will stay in the up position. Not only will that relase your device, but the dock will be ready to recieve it for the next time.

I'm sorry Tracey your having this problem but you usually twist it one way to extend it and the oppisite to retract it. There's also a clear stopper in the midddle. Make sure to take the stopper out then try it. If thats not the problem then it might be broken. You might have to exchange it for a new one. I hope this helps.

Good question, I just checked and the platform the phone rests on moves and sort of floats but it will not come out and spin around 180° I pulled and it doesn't seem to do that. Hope this helps...
