Ah ha! It turns out it was something about the head that wasn't going into place properly. On a whim, I pulled the face out, and everything closed up without issue. I opened it back up, shoved the face back in, and it closed again. I can only assume it was something to do with the mechanism the face plate attaches to, as even before the face was flipped up and it still wouldn't close. Thanks!

Hi All, I recently broke down and picked up the Gamlin vf-22. Overall I'm impressed with it, however I'm having an issue when transforming from battroid mode back to gerwalk/fighter. When I try to slide the cockpit back into place, it doesn't want to drop down the last few millimeters after sliding it back up away from the nose. This is keeping the whole nose/cockpit assembly from connecting together. I've watched this video about 50 times, and it looks like it just slides right into place without any issue (The part I'm having issue with is basically the 24sec-27sec area): I fought with it for the better part of 30 minutes the other day, then all of a sudden it just went into place as if I had something misaligned. Against my better judgment, I transformed it back to battroid yesterday, and I'm now trying to get in back into fighter mode and have hit the same issue. The cockpit will slide up and down along the nosecone (the hinge feels pretty tight but moves with just a little extra pressure), but after sliding it back up away from the nose, it refuses to make the final drop down to lock into place. Is there anything special about positioning of the back section which contains the face? Does the face itself have to be positioned a certain way to prevent any obstruction? Thanks!

Ah that worked, thanks! Oh how I love the sound of stressing plastic hehe

Hi all, I've got a Yamato v2 1/60 vf-1s. Is there a trick to pulling the feet out? I know you have to pull them out before they will open, but is there a hidden release or something to make it easier to pull them out, or do you just have to use brute force? I've got one out, but as much as I pull on the other it seems pretty content to stay put. Overall I'm please with the v2, I seemed to have dodged the cracked shoulder issue and the overall stability of the toy impresses me more and more, especially compared to my v1 1/60 which has parts dropping off of it every time I look at it funny. But there are times where I'm wondering if they made the new one just a little too durable. Thanks!
