Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

awesome warrior mask bumblebee! -
when it finally transformed/stood, not only did i enjoy the toy, but the sense of accomplishment was a bonus!
-
I would add there is a gap between the ball cap and the metal bar when mashed together. Likely this gap contributed to glue seepage due to insufficient surface contact to bond. I just could not get the ball to sit flush onto the metal bar.
-
Express shipping would help getting it in fast? It would be awesome if you could get it up to review as all eyes would be on it.. I guess the verdict would be if it survives a few transformations in a row, without detachments.. Great effort by the way, with all the reviews ...helps to clear the landmines

I twitted to Mr K as well, mentioning the non-fit ball and glue with pictures! And he replied as you can see in the pic! Well folks, up to you to decipher mrK's reply on the 0s!!.... btw its amazing......... 1) I can even reach to someone specific in in a corporation far away with a detailed explaination on a particular problem. 2) The fact that i can explain in english and obtain a reply in japanese and get it translated. compared to pre millennia this was never an option to the ordinary man on the street.... Use tech wisely gen x,y or whatever alphabet there is!

The hip socket doesnt close on the ball joint. Plus depending on seepage, extra glue basically glues the half plastic ball to the metal socket. So no, it doesnt pop back in, but requires opening the leg, and tightening the socket and loosening the plastic ball. I havent heard of anyone popping back in. If yes, please share... If you leave it in fighter mode, its basically ok, as there isnt any hip action. But because 0s is prep for reactive armour, battroid is a must....am hoping there would be indications at release time on how sturdy it is...
-
Am not sure if its the same thing but was commenting on the hip intakes connecting to the body via tabs. On mine, the legs stay connected to the body after tabbing them with both legs on in gerwalk mode. Yea its kind of a bummer due to it being the 0s. However, dont thk there is a rush to cancel yet until after some reviews have come out. But knowing arcadia there wouldnt be pre-order madness anyway and you can still hv a chance to resecure it if reviews are positive.
-
I think it had something to do with the weight balance as two legs attached to the underside of the valk meant the leg weight on one leg tab was halved, or in other words leg weight was shared when both leg tabs were in. Thats just my observation after i had both of them retabbed in versus when i was struggling with just one leg.

SV-51? talk abt more delicateness!
-
Who knows if they did a robust enough test...maybe they used ppl with delicate fingers to transform and it passed!...
-
My conclusion is they should have made the ball larger to handle the stress of puling on the legs.

highly second that! -
That thought has been running through my mind for the longest while as well...
-
They should have made the hip ball/socket joint bigger to be able to handle the stress of pulling on the legs...
-
Similar to mine and jenius it seems to be the left leg..tho with yeti's i thk it was the right..
-
That gerwalk review turned hilarious with that unattached leg although i know it was not meant to be hilarious...no offense.... The reason the leg tab to the underside of the plane doesnt stay too well is because the other leg was unattached. Once both legs were attached to the metal swing bar, they fitted in nice and tight in gerwalk mode. Thanks for the honest review though...I was put off as well when the leg fell off, but after i got it fixed, really enjoyed the valk with its new proportions and handling.

They should have provided the dang stickers this time second that and make it fire at gatling gun rate....

Does it umm...do anything? Shoot? I wonder if these pose problems getting thru customs nowadays with all the sensitivity abt security.

I wondered the same when all these happened. After opening up and fixing the bum leg, it would seem similar to what Scylla mentioned abt friction. the joint feels tighter as the plastic provides friction against the metal surface, sort of like a rubberized surface. Metal against metal won't be as sticky and in the long run will be loose as the metal surfaces smooth out each other. That's my observation. The Qc issue was abt tolerances of the half plastic ball being too large and not to spec. It also left a gap for adhesive to seep thru and contaminate the hip chamber resulting in the hip socket being stuck to the half ball half metal joint. However it would seem not everyone experiences it but I do think if it was a car it would result in a recall!
