At last, after waiting 15 days my VF-1j arrived. I opened it and.... I am scared of touching it!! It looks so cool! This is my first time with one of these. Before, I had a Chinese version that cost me like 5 bucks. Those version rocks..but as I said... I am just scared of breaking the part. The infamous shoulder issue. I would like to know if our friend EXO tried the design he sent to be built at the 3 d printer and how much it cost him. I hope he reads this post! Regards,

How much did it cost you that part? It looks good. Hopefully, everyone can order one from their site after you did and hopefully it is a good price too. Regards to you all.

Thanks for the answer. I was also thinking on reinforcing the piece with a metal plate or something like that. From what I have heard the plastic does not resist the metal pin, which I read can be replaced by a portion of a thick paper clip that are similar in size but not as thick to force the plastic too much. I would like to have other alternatives before seeing it break. Thanks a lot!!

Hi to all, This is my first post and I would like to thank the creators of this site for giving us the chance of learning from others. I just bought my first Valkirie the Perfect Trance VF-1j Ichijyou Hikaru with parts. I hope it is more that I expect from it. I have read a lot from other sites as well as from here about the Shoulders issue from these models. (I hope it is not mine) However, I was looking for replacement parts if that is the case. I see it is kind of hard and many other have the same difficulties. Suddenly, it crossed my browsing a site that talked about 3d printing and I said "Mmm that looks interesting" This could be the salvation for many of us who are having this issue ( I do not know yet, but just in case) What do you think? I just read a post from one of you giving details of a project, where he wants to make an invid model. He has some part ready for printing. Perhaps he or somebody with Auto CAD knowledge could help us and digitalize the part and we could but form a 3d printing site. I have no idea of the prices but I am sure they could make them cheaper if many of us buy them as a group. What do you think? By the way this is the one I bought. http://tinyurl.com/7weo344 Regards to all and have a great New Year!!!
