Anytime, Recon.
Guys, let's settle down a bit. I did PM Graham with the same question that I sent HLJ, and Graham said that he was told that the shoulders "were" upgraded to POM.
I'd take his word over HLJ's anytime, but it's just a little unnerving to find the same issues on a supposedly updated package.
In any case, I'm holding off on these babies for now.
@aezonrath:
Go get a 1/48 VF-1, then a Super/Strike Armor set, or a GBP-1 armor set, or get them all. The 1/48 is still the superior Macross product from Yamato.
