chiryuu

I'm thinking of picking up the 0S reissue. Are there enough changes in it to choose it over the old 0S+ghost release or is it just a tightened-up version? Also, is there a way to tell from the packaging if it is the latest reissue?

The exact same joints cracked on my vf-25s armored messiah. I've just accepted it as a caveat of buying a valkyrie. The pin looks big enough to hold it despite the crack though, as long as a big chunk of it doesn't break off. It doesn't stress me out as much as it did when I discovered it (prompting my first ever post here), but I'll handle it extra carefully when I put the armor on. A revision will probably be due somewhere down the line anyway.

Can I get some advice on this? My vf-25s armored developed cracks through the hinge where the back folds. This would be the ones at the very 'back' of the shoulders where the back plate hangs off of in battroid - the one with the big metal circles in the joint. So far it's holding steady, but it irks me that such an expensive piece developed damage (note that I said I'm irked, but not really surprised ). It looks pretty secure still, with no stress marks other than the crack. Should I just leave it alone? Or should I try layering it with cement just to join it again? Any tips on this would be much appreciated. I've read that ABS really has to be welded back together instead of applying superglue. This doesn't guarantee that it wouldn't happen again though, hence my apprehension. Could it be due to the weight of the boosters hanging off and stressing it? Improper handling during transformation? I've never transformed it much since I got it (having the armor on pretty much killed that feature), but I have left it on the stand in fighter and battroid modes for some lengths of time.
