The left leg falling off too easy is the only thing that really annoys me, can live with the other issues it has. Does look amazing though.

The left leg is perfect on mine. It's the right leg that is slightly loose.

Does the adding clear nail polish trick actually work well? I've been considering doing this since I got him but does the hassle really do anything significantly better? My Piccolo figure stands like a boss on his own and his legs just feel SOLID and strong, can the clear nail polish trick do this to my Vegeta?

I haven't used nailpolish, but I assume it would work the same as the super glue method, but you wouldn't have to worry about the joints sticking. If you just applied a thin layer of nail polish on the ball joints, let it dry and then pop the legs on, it would be a tighter joint.
IMO everyone who is having problems with Vegeta's legs should try the fingernail polish or if brave enough, the super glue method. After the super glue method, my Vegeta's legs are as tight as Frieza's.

Man I want to try it but I'm just being a pussy about it. So let me get this straight, if you user super glue on the ball joint, you stick the leg back on right away and move it around til it drys? But with nail polish you just let it dry before you put the leg back on? Confused.... :S

But with nail polish you just let it dry before you put the leg back on? Confused.... :S With super glue, you want the glue to adhere to both the ball and socket since it can't really be applied in very large quantities. You can't really do this with nail polish without it just cracking and falling out, so you only put it on the ball. I used nail polish because super glue can leak and eat the plastic down. Nail polish can be easily removed should you choose to do so. "Future floors" polish is also a common remedy among transformers fans.

That's true about super glue eating the plastic. Saw a shocker the other day in a YouTube review.

So I only put 1 coat of nail polish on which seemed like enough, but this seems like a process you might have to do every now and then with him. I say this because after about 3 days of handling him it's starting to wear off. Not a huge deal because you can just add a little more nail polish, but just wanted to let you guys know that.

I wish you guys would just use super glue. What's next? Honey? Bubble gum?

I've used a contact lens to make a dragon radar. not like there are any rules to this stuff. Good to hear bleepjk...I guess I'm going to have to finally pick up a bottle. Also for my earlier suggestion...Model Masters Acrylic Clear is no good...a fantastic product and great for painting but not for tightening joints.
