Finally got my VF-2SS (had to wait for replacement parts for something else before I could ship) and man, whoever was in charge of QC must have been asleep at the wheel. On mine paint is a mess (fortunately, some Microsol and a melamine sponge made quick work of most of it), I'm almost certain the screws on the chest near the arms for folding it down are wrong or the dimensions for the countersink are (they're not flush and are preventing the bars from sliding up), and I've got the tight left shoulder outward swing joint. She's certainly a pretty bird from most angles but fidgety as all hell. Really hate how the chest does not want to stay secure in Battroid. Still, I do like it and would definitely play Preorder Madness to buy a DX.
Also, I did the cockpit mod from 2ch posted earlier, if anyone's curious about it.
