  1. making the shield wider at the base chould have eliminated the gaps, but Bandai decided not to change it since day 1, when they showed us the prototype.

    Maybe they should make the shield transform and have extension parts on the side?

  2. Just got this baby and i'm very pleased with it.

    Pros

    - Possibility - Double knee joint!

    - Impressive tampo printing

    - Extra set of poseable hands

    - Comes with a stand

    - Clicky points for wing

    - Neck gap cover in fighter mode incorporated into shield

    - Pin point barrier hand

    Cons

    - Gaps in fighter mode

    - No missiles

    - Dinky gunpod

    - Ankle gap

    - Weak landing gear / Plastic wheels

    That's all of the top of my head but overall really happy with my bird! :)

  3. So I double checked my second YF-19 on the right wing it super loose and after careful inspection it looks like the rivet was pressed down so hard that it cracked the joint making it loose.... :(

    I will be contacting HLJ to see if they will have any replacement parts

  4. I usually don't post but this really makes me mad and sad at the same time. I used to work for ebay and my best suggestion is to fully escalate the claim as you are buying a product that is not as described.

    You may also want to contact your credit card company and see if you can file a claim with them at the same time. Some credit card companies now have buyer protection polices for online purchases. I really hope you get all of your money back as it is super unfair if you don't.

    On a side note, I bought mine form HLJ and it has arrived in mint condition. I haven't transformed my second one yet but I will do so when I get home. My left ankle is super loose on my first one but I assume that this can be fixed. One other small issue is that my shield has already showed signs paint rubbing off just popping it on and off for transformation. Other then that i'm pretty happy with it.

    Best of luck!

  5. I like it but the leg intakes really bug me. I think I'll have to manually paint the feet, joints, and intake covers dark gray. Not feeling the dark turquoise. Just my opinion that is, Even if its more anime accurate. Grey just looks so much better :p

  6. I saw skyfall the other day and to be in all honesty I wasn't too impressed.

    it seemed to lack 3 key elements to a good bond film. The girl was good looking but she didnt seem like she had a vital roll and there wasn't much character development for her, thus when she died I just shrugged it off. Gadgets? two gadgets and the gun had barely any screen time / usefulness. Car? JB always had a styling car, yet this one they budgeted it out and used an old one. Don't get me wrong I do like cameos of old stuff but this one seemed to play a big roll. At the end of the movie I felt lime I was watching home alone part 5, when hes older. Just my opinion, I know you guys did enjoy the film. Maybe my expectations were a bit high.

    However I did like a couple of scenes like when he jumps down into the train cart like a boss! Not to mention the assassination scene, very artsy and loved the use of lightening there.

  7. Just wondering what the average value of the 1/48 valks are. I'm on the edge about selling my collection for school or not depending on the value of my valks. I've tried craigslist, and evilbay without much help.
