    My copy of the reissue, the wings don't fall off anymore, ankle joints are much tighter, shoulders are still tight, but not INSANELY tight like the first release. Landing gear is also easier to pull out. Only nitpick was out of the box the hip bar in armo-solider did not lock as solidly as my red and green copy. After taking a little kiki joint fixer, it holds now like it should. 

    Any way to tell the reissue from the original?

    I'll try to post a picture, but I'm pretty sure I threw out most of the "detritus" a while back. :lol:

    The heck?

    I don't have 1/12 TC, but can you provide some picture of the ooze or something?

    Could be some melted plastic or lube or something that was used on it during manufacturing what, 10-12 years ago?.

    For anyone who has the Yamato 1/24 Patlabor Ingrams, have the cloth joint coverings on your begun to disintegrate?  The fabric on mine appears to be "flaking" off, for lack of a better term.  The figure has just been stored out of the package but in a plastic tub all this time.  Rarely moved or posed it at all.

    Is this happening to anyone else's toy?

    For anyone who has Yamato's 1/12 Turbo Custom Scopedog, have the feet of your toy...leaked? :ph34r:

    A few years back, I noticed what I can only describe as a gravel looking substance at the bottom of my Turbo Custom's feet.  It was dark grey, a bit sticky and seemed to be coming from inside the feet near the wheels.  As time went on, more of the stuff just appeared at the bottom of the feet.

    Has this happened to anyone else?

    I suggest not forcing the issue too much.  Your son is going to like what he's going to like.  I, too, tried to get my 3-year old started with Transformers Rescue Robots, but that did not last long.  What's important is that when he does show interest, you're all set with your Revoltechs.

    This was bound to happen...gray market VF's?

    Big West should really rethink the pricing of their license fees.  Their legal stand off/stalemate/status quo with HG means any potential licensee's market is severely limited from the get go, forcing them to charge a premium for smaller production runs.  The high individual price of a licensee's product then makes cheaper KOs more attractive.   If these KOs turn Arcadia and Bandai off from the Macross license, then Big West will be left with a lucrative license but no takers.  Better to lower the license fees to more realistic levels (possibly shifting more revenue to a larger, but fair, percentage of the licensee's actual sales?), encourage more licensing, move more product and make KOs irrelevant.  Licensees should also maximize the widest distribution available (e.g. give HLJ, et al. more access to stock) rather than force artificial scarcity and demand (e.g. making products only available through web stores that can solely be accessed by Japan residents etc.).
