I realize Im waaaay late here but will there be a restock of the 1j ? !!!!

Blob you say? Take a look at this peice of melted plastic that comes with Yamato's VF-11C (Courtesy of CollectionDX)

What if I brushed some of this on the lilac parts of the nosecone? Do you all think this would offer some degree of protection. http://www.decoart.com/cgi-bin/Products.cg..._Poly_Varnishes

So does anyone have any update on the status of the armored ozma? I pre paid quite a while back ; (

Not sure if any one posted this here yet but the new pics of the Armored Ozma look cool... http://www.toyark.com/news/macross-toy-new...ah-update-1393/

I actually wouldn't mind it if the difference was on the surface of a different type of material. Like if the difference was on the metal chest VS the legs that are of the same plastic.

Anyone notice if their alto has two different color legs? Mine has one pearl white and one off white > : ( now I really want a replacement!!!

You DA MAN Omega! I just happen to have VF-17 and the screw fit perfectly. Thanks Alot!

I've tried looking at some of my other bandai screws to replace the broken shoulder screw on my Alto but have had no luck. Can someone tell me what size/type of scew that is so I can all around to find a suitable replacement? Thanks.

Is this comment directed towards me? In the event that is.. of course I've heard of the problems with the V2. What does that have to do with what I said? In regards to your comment about panic. Well personally, I ain't panicking. I've bought the 25G and still have the Armored S on pre-order. So all I was saying is that mine broke and was asking the community about what action to take next. Fix it ? (which is obviously easy) or talk with HLJ to possibly get the retooled version I was expecting.

You mention bitchin' and complaining...and that our expectations are too high. 'm not sure so that this is an accurate description of what SOME of us are doing/saying. I don't know about you but I don't expect anything to be broken out of the box. Not a 4 dollar transformer, not a microwave, and well... not even a 150.00 toy/model. But OK whatever if you want to call us whiners that's up to you.

I was able to unscrew what was left of the screw with needle nosed pliers. Until I hear back from HLJ I'm in a holding pattern for now. Thanks for the sympathy Graham.

Thanks alot. I just sent them an E-mail hoping they do something about it. I'm kinda sad tonight. First bad experience with any Macross Toy right out of the box : (.

Yeah there are no holes near the back of the neck near the little flare thingys Oh and I preordered the April release on purpose as I didn't want the first run : (

So I just received my VF-25 restock from HLJ. This is the best part of my story unfortunately. As I'm transforming from plane to battroid I rotate the arms out of the stock position and the left arm literally falls out of the shoulder hinge. It fell : ( It just fell without the slightest bit of provocation!!!!! : (. After transforming my 25G multiple times I was praising Bandai's durability/playability. The head of the the screw that holds the arm and the shoulder hinge together just popped off. What do I do? Please help.
