Yeah. Knowing that Mirage's is coming out this month, it's just appropriate for them to display the actual product in their official store. Displaying Bogue's is kind of too early.

 

Many said Mirage will be delayed. This is actually worrying as like you said, there isn't any display on the shelves and this Bogue is kinda too early to show.

Hey guys, I came across this video. Seems like need to pull down the grip in order to hold it properly. I have yet to try it though. 

Just noticed the poor paint jobs.

Ya, not too bad. Lucky no cracking parts. 

Sharing some photos, some scratches may not be able to capture under camera.

Finally, I just got my VF-31AX. Not sure the quality control is bad or someone had opened my unit, played and put it back, sealed again. The paint job is terrible, a lot of scratches and the gaps are awful. My VF-31J Kai has perfect paint jobs and everything is tight in one piece. Anyway, still glad that no crack is seen.   

Damn, all looking good!

I'm sorry about your job, but you made great fixes for your valk! - MT

That's alright. Life is unpredictable. Thank you for your message.

Hello guys, just to share the latest update since the last post. Lost my job during this pandemic and with extra time, I have casted the BP8, BP9's hook (I lost it from my VF-1J) and SV-51's stand's connector. I feel that using the AB Resin is much better than AB Putty.

Nice! In a brown shipper box to boot. Where'd you get it?

I am lucky that a friend of mine letting go one of his unit.

WHEW…finally….AmiAmi came thru.
Wasn’t as lucky with either VF-1S or the VF-1D.

 

Wow, you are so so lucky. I was trying to preorder but not successful. The page keep loading and service unavailable. When it became available, after click pre-order and it is stated out of stock already.... damnnn..

Saw these posted a few days ago, I'm tempted to order a few and see if they work. 

Ya man. Saw it too. But it is too expensive to ship to my country.

My first attempt designing the BP8 and printed out. Not perfect and need further improvement.

Sorry about your breaks! If that is ABS plastic, the best glue is simple Acetone. It will melt the plastic like model cement. It will also mess up paint and markings so surgically apply it with a tiny brush or similar tool. Then let it cure a couple of days to solidify. - MT

It's okay Brother MT. It's due to mishandling. It was in fighter mode earlier and my wife lifted up and lost balance (it is heavy with super strike parts) and cracked it.

An update. I have tried using Araldite Epoxy Mixed. Failed to fix at the first time, then managed to "fixed" it. Not perfect, but still can transform between fighter mode to Gerwalk mode with a lot of extra care. The hinges are missed align and I have to trim to make it work. There are more and more breaking parts. For instance, super strike parts cracked when it's removed, a crack behind the feet, the gun pod holding the belt chain cracked too.

The last person posted on this regarding the same thing you needed was last 2015. The OP who created this thread last activity was way back in 2013. I think your best bet is find someone who does 3D print within your area and see if he can copy the item for you.

Or you can try and post it in the Wanted section, just in case.

Thank you for letting me know. Appreciate it. Good night.

No, you do not want epoxy on that; it is too brittle.

What you are going to want is Devcon Plastic Welder. it is a two-part adhesive with far better bonding power and durability. If you live in the US, they have the black version at Home Depot in their Automotive aisle.

Trust me; I use this stuff all the time and it's far better for these kinds of repairs. Clean the break and the part that broke off with 91 percent rubbing alcohol, them mix up the material, apply and place the snapped hinge part. Once cured, it should be as good as new.

Thanks for the tips. Will try that out. Really appreciate it.

My next worry is putting back the hinges pin. It was so difficult to pull it out.

Hello there, I hope I posted at correct category. My 25th Anniversary VF-1S is broken. Is there anyone encountered similar issue? What's the best way to fix? 3D Pen printing?
