Hello Eugi
The thing is that they are more carefull during assembly in the factory now
But the design and the movments allowed will make it weaker....
When you adjust the arm position it brings a lot of stress on the hinge location
I am sure some of us had no crack brand new and then cracks appeared... and don't tell me it was micro cracks
let's see how many survive with time....
the vf-1 is still pretty new
