Hello! I wanted to find out how many of you with Tama Connections were having battery troubles. The whole thing irks me, frankly. I am hoping maybe it was a bad initial batch of product. Maybe after a while Bandai will get them working better. I don't know how mine will be yet, as I've only had it for 2 weeks. But if I start having problems, I plan on getting a Plus. You can get them for about $7.00 on ebay brand new.
