Screws

Anyone know where I can get those tiny screws which are used to hold the legs, and torso's together for the Hasbro figures? I've tried places like focus, and Homebase but they are all too big :(

Salvage screws from broken figures or tear apart Corps figures as they have the same screws.

I believe Andy1672 found a decent replacement on ebay - as I recall he had a bagload of spares, try dropping him a PM.

Excellent, Thanks! I will try him later tonight. For a little while there I was almost resigned to the fact I may have to buy lots of cheap spectacles to pinch the screws out of

This is a good point there are sites that sell O rings and crotches but not many other parts like the screws that might be needed to fix figures and vehicles.

Sadly I found nothing on e-bay, unless I wanted to pay nearly a fiver for 10 stainless steal screws :(
After Andy1672's help (Cheers!), I did find this place by searching for the right type of screw specifications... http://www.stainlesssteelmicroscrews.co ... APDP8.aspx
I will let you know how I get on with them

When I saw the title of this thread it reminded me of the time George Best was drunk on the Terry Wogan TV show aka Wogan.

Best: "Terry.....I like screwing"
Wogan (flustered) "So...what do you do with your time these days..?"
Best: "SCREW!"
Wogan: "Ladies and Gentlemen, George Best."

Classic!

Screws arrived today. I'll post again once I have tried them, and confirm that they are actually the right ones :)

Screws fit just fine (If a little tight).
Certainly arrived quickly from the supplier so would recommend.
