V2Assault

guys, i'll be getting a YF-19 from a friend... any advice on which parts to check? he says its been only displayed for 2 days and its never been transformed...

thats strange... all of the VF-0 shoulder problems seems to tackle the left part only... also, does anyone know how to replace that round rubber stopper thingy inside the shoulders? after reconnecting the shoulders to the ball joints (treated with a mistakenly thick layer of nail polish), and twisting them a few times i decided to detatch them again because the joints were too stiff this time around - and much to my surprise the left rubber round stopper thing got "messed up" - wherein the it got torn apart from the ball joints being too thick.

i've always been seeing this from HLJ: http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00017 which production version / release would this be? is this the "improved" version wherein it has the nosecone locks, etc.?

er, just once. i only noticed it when i removed the armor to modify the ball joints to tighten it. do you guys think yamato would release an actual improved parts replacement for owners who have issues with this? i do hope even nightmareB4macross can come up with replacement part for this... also, is it just me or the problem is exclusive to the left shoulders only? 1

seems like this "cracking" hands is an issue with the VF-0S... recently while disassembling my VF-0S to "tighten" the arms, i discovered in shock that the left arm socket has this huge crack... so far managed to seal it back with loctite: anyone here can input some additional advice?
