    We've all been Bandai'd at some point. 

    I can't imagine this level of carelessness directed towards Gundam fans. 

    Agreed on being Bandai’d as far as Macross is concerned.  I wouldn’t know about for Gundam fans.  Only bought the ver 3 of the RX-78 and i haven’t even touch it.

    Yeah, there it looks like they painted the wrong side of the wing.  Or more specifically, put "top right" markings on the bottom side of a left wing (and put "bottom right" paint on the top).

    I just ended up with an extra non-hardpoint right wing, and no hardpoint left wing.

    I guess it is just Bandai messing up.  I really wish they never even bothered with these non-hardpoint wings, since it just makes errors more likely.  And then there are the releases that don't have hardpoint wings at all, since they never had missiles in the animation.  But what if you just want to have missiles on there?

    Seems like such an unnecessary and almost spiteful way to go about it.


    Yeah. They painted the wrong side on my toy.  Yours got exchanged. In other words, we were Bandai’d.

    Physically, the arm armor:

    Yamato-V2-Super-Hik-5A.jpgA lot of the KO VF-1's lately seem to be putting DYRL-style arm armor on TV-only valks (Max and Milia, etc), they apparently don't know (or don't care) about the difference.  


    Yeah, like Bandai’s 1/55 Hikaru Movie Strike sporting “TV” style arm armor...  And Bandai’s HMR TV Max and Millia with their DYRL movie style arm armors...  All hail Yamato/Arcadia!!!  Fellow fans Yamato/Arcadia!!!

    I bought a couple of HMR CFs used.  One is fine, but one of them had been opened, and I got two non-hardpoint right wings, and no left wing with hard points.  Is it possible this is a Bandai error (has this happened to anyone else), or is this on the seller?  I know Bandai messed up with the DYRL Hikaru 1A leg armors, but I don't recall there being an issue with the CF release.

    Mine happened ages ago:

    You can not attach missiles to this pair of wings. Check out the right wing, the one with the "001" marking. Now look at it closely; this is actually another physical left wing, see the break in the black stripe? It's near the part where you click-attach to the toy. I prefer using the "missile wings" even without missiles but still...

    Anyone else having the same problem?

    Here are some more pix:

     

    Both pictures are showing one and the same wing. When attached to the right side, it does not spread all the way out.

     

    @ Saburo - Thanks, please let me know your findings.

    To everyone, please look at my original post at the previous page... So. Anyone else having the same problem?

    The only difference I can recall from the base valk is different coloured arrow on the head (and I can only find evidence of this from the Yamato release).

    In terms of Bandai's release, TV and DYRL Roy would have different tampo markings as they've demonstrated different marking styles for their TV and DYRL releases so far.

    Seen any interesting Macross stuff in your travels lately?


    Hey there, sorry for the super late reply.  Macross stuff has been scarce because of scarce travel in recent months.

    Since there’s some free time, I’ll be posting some items here...  Standby...
