Just got back from my vacation to the Philippines on April 15th & was lucky enough to come across 4 different valks which happen to be on the top of my never ending "WANTED" list. I have transformed all of them several times & have had no problems whatsoever with the exception of my favorite one, The 1/60 VF-1D v2. I was still on the islands when the damage occured. The shoulder hinge cracked & broke off when I attempted to transform the toy for the first time After realizing that I reversed the transformation process & just put it back in the box. I figured I'd deal with it later when I got back to the states.
Is it just me or is the v2 VF-1D made with cheaper plastic? It seems a bit more delicate compared to the other two I bought.
A good friend of mine recommended me to try using Loctite super glue for all plastics. He said it was strong enough to repair his turn signal on his motorcycle. I had my doubts but I was ready to try something & this seemed like the way to go. Unfortunately the repair didn't hold up
