Hopefully, a 1:6 pre-painted flightsuit Grace.

Can we all send pics of our broken shoulders? If you present them with 100 different photos of 100 different broken valks...

Whatever happened to the Grace article in #37? (I think it was 37)

Can you ask them for about 50 sets of smooth-pinned hinges for replacements? (at the very least, please let them know there's still a lot of VF-1 owners who have been waiting for months and months for parts and still have broken valks)

Rabidweezil wins for first clear pics.

Chronocidal--brighter light. Just from looking at your pics I think that'll help more than a new camera.

Triad's Barenless set is back: http://www.triadtoys.com/product_info.php?products_id=1859

pondo--there's already several threads about it. This thread is not for that, this is purely a poll.

I have no idea. I just plan to present all this evidence to Graham and see if he can get a big box of just shoulders or something (since shoulder breakages are a hot topic between him and Yamato now). Even if such a thing happens, distribution may be an issue. And your last sentence is another point I'd like to try to get across to Yamato---we just need the hinges, not the entire arm assembly.

Yeah, so Caprica is just like BSG, without the B, S, nor G...

Yeah, your best option now is to loosen the screws. The YF-19 requires screw adjustments the most, but the VF-1 can sometimes benefit too.

Shin--did you vote? There's still only one "multiple sets" vote.

But .4 liters smaller and some forced induction added would be better though IMHO. (that pretty much goes for every car/engine in existence nowdays)

Darn it, I did forget about that possibility. I'll see what I can do. ::edit:: New thread option added.

It is, by quite a lot.

I'll be ticked if they outshopped Grace's animation to an inferior group or something...

Yup. It's very tight the first time.

Trying to see just how many un-fixed VF-1's are still out there. Also, this is a poll strictly to acquire "numbers needed from Yamato"---if yours hasn't broken, don't participate. If yours have been replaced already, also don't participate----this is not trying to find out how many broke in total, it's trying to find out how many still ARE broken.

We need to set up a poll for MW members who need VF-1 shoulders, so Graham can request the appropriate number---that'd also let Yamato know just how many more have broken than they are aware of. (I assume they're aware of all the ones that have been replaced).

If only they actually used this scheme:

Could you use what influence you have to get some extra shoulder hinges for those MW members who are still waiting for parts? I.E, ask for a half-dozen or so when you ask for replacement parts for yours? (will that VF-1J match the early VF-1S releases?----white vs very light grey, etc)

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers...tml#post1733484 I plan to do it to my MP TC, but still haven't gotten enough guts to hack up my custom-painted $100 TF... I'm also still measuring/testing millimeter-by-millimeter to try to get as much clearance for the tips of the h.stabs as possible--even with the kibble "slid all the way up"---there's really still not QUITE enough room---you still have to really splay the legs and have him on his tip-toes, due to the stabs touching the ground. Even a few mm would help a lot, but the kibble can only slide up so far before it'll go past the bottom peg. The original version of the mold solved this by having the tailbooms actually slide up past the shin a bit, but with the changing of the peg position (there's still mold marks inside of the original location) you can't go quite as far now.

It's no different from US animation, where most boys are voiced by women.
