I was wondering if anyone else had these same problems.  First, instead of

pretty sure it should knock the middle foot down, put mine passes by it with
plenty of room to spare.

I know how to fix the first problem, but the second one kind of baffles me.
Any help would be appreciated.

The lever on the side is not a lever-- it's a socket probe or tool, like in
the first movie.  The lever in the back pops this out.

The leg is opened by pushing the horizontal bar in the front.  I'm not all
that keen on the look of this set (I would've preferred a denser look, for
another $5 or so, and I dislike the way the curved flanges just sort of sit
there, without any real canonical position), but the rotation effect for the
two main legs is neat.
