Lately, after popping out Excellion's wings with his force chip, I have a real struggle getting one of them to lock back in. It ususally takes several minutes of pushing and fiddling, and when I manage to get it back in, it takes even longer next time.

I'm thinking about replacing him, but would rather not. Any ideas on maybe how to fix the problem? Or should I get another one?

Sounds like the same kind of problem that plagued BW TMII Megatron, only it was one part facing backwards. Think there's a database out there for this sort of thing?
