I've been slowly building my Bandai DX Macross collection but I seem to be having real trouble acquiring examples without issues.
The first YF-19 I bought was fine apart from the fact the panel lines were not great and after seeing better examples on this forum and else where, I decided to buy a replacement and then sell the original on Ebay,
Unfortunately the 2nd YF-19 arrived with a broken right tail fin. The tail fin wouldn't fold to the correct position and would fall off very easily. I returned this one for a refund and ordered another replacement.
The 3rd example arrived with the same tail fin defect but this time on the left side. Again, I returned the item for a refund.
On top of this, I received a YF-29 (Isamu version), with scratches on the top left wing mount and left engine nacelle from the factory.
I've bought all these examples as brand new f/s.
Has anyone else had similar experiences? Or am I just incredibly unlucky?
It's really taking the fun out of collecting these toys.
