I agree with the other guys here - you should get it, cause they are great. Highly detalied and very durable (assuming that you won't be dropping one for a crash landing). Just handle with care, and since you are a collector I assume that you will, and everything will turn out fine.
I have two (including a first edition Hikaru VF-1A) and the QC continues to improve on these things. Watch out for the backpack piece (BP8), as it tends to break if you put too much stress on it. Also, be careful with the heatshield when transforming to battroid mode, as the little plastic tabs could possibly snap off leaving your valk vulnerable in battroid mode.
That being said, mine are not broken and I had to figure out how to transform them with no instructions! So you should be just fine!
Oh, and I almost forgot.............BUY THE 1/48!
Hope this helps!
