i have the 1st release vf-1s roy,
i bought it as soon as i saw it in a shop.
this is already more than 6 months ago i think
and yes one shoulder was cracked out of the box.
yes, i just put super glue on it, and wiggled the shoulder until the glued dried.
been playing and transforming it almost every day for the first 2 weeks i had it.
then, the 2nd shoulder cracked. and i did the same thing.
now, more than 6 months after i bought it
the shoulders are still perfectly fine with the super glue and i've never been happier.
note that i transform and pose my toys ALOT.
my display arrangement changes practically everyday.
what i'm saying is, there's no big deal about the cracked shoulder.
just fix it.
