I lost Storm Shadow's Arishikage long sword somewhere in my house. I thought it would turn up, but I have suspicions that when I stripped the bed for laundering and then picked up the pile from the floor, the blade may have *gulp* gone into the washing machine with the blankets and sheets!

Anyway, he has enough weapons and Snake-Eyes sword fits better in his hand anyway... (Little consolation...)

I did try to pull a clearance BBI guy out of his package. His arm came to me but the rest of him stayed securely in the package.... I repaired his arm with a screw, but it's not exactly the same.

Okay I ripped the strap on a Beach-Head v1 ammo pack by accident. To make it worse, my son told me: "Dad, you broke Beach-Head's Purse!" Ouch. On too many levels to enumerate.

To repair it I put it in a vise (gently) and took an Aim 'n Flame and heated it up to melting plastic. With a little coaxing it melted back fine.

I'm not sure if that would work on something like a gun, but maybe for "spot welding" a stock back on a rifle, maybe it could...

Just a thought, and fellas, don't burn down your room, apartment, garage, or house, and then say: "Yorktownjoe told me this would work!!" The insuarance adjuster will not be impressed...

(Note I only addressed guys on all these disclaimers. I know none of the females on this site would endanger public safety with an open flame...)

Play safe!
