Got mine! Thanks so much Graham!

Am I too late in ordering replacement hinges? I've been out of the loop... V2 VF-1J V2 VF-1S right and left

VF-1S Roy: Both cracked, still attached. VF-1J Hikaru: Right cracked, still attached--barely though. VF-1A Hikaru: so far, still ok. These are the only 3 1/60 v.2's I have.

Originally voted perfect, pages ago. Now have to report more broken sholder hinges. That's right, both right and left hinges on my V.2 1/60 VF-1S have cracks! They haven't fallen off yet but, this sucks... This is after ~5 transformations. I usually keep mine in fighter mode. Yesterday, I transformed it to show my cousin. That went fine. This morning I thought, "lemmie check the shoulder hinges to see how they are doing." So now, my day is ruined! I hope my 1A and 1J hold up better. Haven't transformed them yet... I'll have to go back and re-read this whole post to try and find remedy.

Paid for mine. Sorry so late...

Thanks! More pix when everythings "kosher" if ya know what I mean? Here's to hoping your parts come in soon!!!

My stealth strike parts came in today from HLJ! Wohoo! 1/48 stealth rocks!

Maybe, but I still think it doesn't look right. It seems like a defect. Too much mirror coating. Looks really hazy in person.

Here you go... I think its very noticeable. Judge for yourself, I think too much "ultraviolent" coating is ugly.

Got my 1A last Friday from HLJ. Transformed to battroid with no problems. The shoulder swivel is a bit looser with this one. This is a good thing and helps with the transformation. My only complaint with this release is the "ultraviolent" coat on the canopy--they put too much on this one! The 1S was just right.

Early Bird! Yeah baby!

So who else preordered the Early Bird VF-1J from HLJ?

Job well done! Thanks for sharing!

Fixed pose V.2 hand with 1/48 gunpod=too snug, needs force to attach Articulated V.2 hand with 1/48 gunpod=too loose, falls off when attached to valk Articulated V.2 hand on 1/48 stealth w/out gunpod I think I may have screwed up my fixed pose 1/60 hands. The 1/60 gunpod fits loose after attaching the 1/48 gunpod. Use caution if you wanna try this!!!!!!

I will try...btw the articulated v2 1/60 hands look small on the 1/48. They also come off too easy...

I believe the answer is Yes! I just tried. Not as snug of a fit on the 1/48, but looks decent. Here's one on a 1/48 stealth: Here's the included 1/48 stealth hands next to the included 1/60 hands: I forgot to try the 1/60 articulated hands, but if the fixed ones fit I'm sure they (articulated hands) would too.

At least your's had plastic wrap! So your toy box was damaged too?

So when can we expect recasts? and from whom?

My vote for the toy was that it was perfect! My only complaint was for the box. Not anything on yamato, just plain shipping bad luck. HLJ's box isn't a snug fit and they did not wrap the toy box with bubble wrap or anything. The shipping box was beat up a bit and caused some stress marks on the toy box. Loving this toy!

I just played the pix using the PSP's photo viewer. Screenshots were from the links posted here.

As Mr. Bean would say in French: "Gracias!"

Only in my dreams, my friend, only in my dreams...

I love her, yes I do... So far so good. Need to enjoy fighter mode for a little more before attempting transformation. She feels real solid compared to the 1/48 Stealth. Even the landing gear doors open better, stay better, and feel more solid.

If I recall correctly, someone requested more pix in this thread? Here you go: Wow! more on the way...

The game looks great on my PSP!!!!!!!!!!
