Do we need to send in the broken part as proof (shipping costs money!)? Or just a photo is fine?

In fact, I had my VF-1S head broken yesterday. The broken part is actually where the ear piece plugged into the side of the head; the shaft wrecked in the middle (I think I did a poor job in describing). I glued it and it seems to be fine now, but I am unsure when it would fall off again. I took the risk and transformed into fighter mode (we all know what it is like to turn that head around and downward through the hole, and now I have a broken gun barrel piece to worry about) and put it back into the box for the moment.

I have no idea why it was broken in the first place. I wasn't even touching it when it fell off!

From the "coming soon" leaflet I saw outside the shops, the line up thus far is Super VF-1J, VF-1J (yes, they schedule these into 2 different months as 2 products), Defender, and VF-1D. I think VF-1D would be out around Feb 09. I might have seen the VF-1S (Hikaru), but I am not sure now. Bad memory!

BTW, I am waiting for my 1/60 Strike VF-1S in Dec. Not in a rush to get it now and paying extra; I am still more fond of my 1/48 big toys.

I know this is a little off topic, and there is an existing thread talking about this but it seems a bit too general...

I'm off to Hong Kong tomorrow and am definitely intending on picking up one or two macross things (of the new 2.0 line - keeping with the thread)... Where is the best place to go to get them? Mong Kok (if thats right) seems to be the place to go, but seeing as Ive never been around Honkers before, mention of more specific stores may be helpful! Also mention of places to avoid would be good...

CTMA is a great place for toy-lovers. There is another place called In's Point, which is around 10-15 minutes' walk from CTMA. Also lots of toys shop there. In particular there is one shop there quite well-known for a relatively good collection of Yamato Macross toys with a good price.

If you are looking for specific models, just name it and I would check for you. I live just across the street!
