Cheers to Graham indeed. Glad yamato is going to fix the shoulder for good (hopefully). Right now I have six 2.0 VF-1. Up till now I am one of the lucky few that don't have a cracked shoulder yet (even though there are stress marks on my 1S and i haven't checked hikura 1a yet).

Couple years back Aoshima did recall one of their legiosses due to poor QC. So this is pretty much an isloated instance but yamato did screw up here.

My 1S Hikaru is holding fine for now, didn't pay attention to stress marks or pins but let's hope it can hold itself as i am too scared to transform it any more. My M&M 1J seem to be fine, but I only transform them one time each so who knows. 1A Hikaru is being held hostage by my finance hope it turns out fine but I already expect the worst and ordered spare part from OD 1D and Max 1J are in transit and look like i might need to buy some insurance policy on them. Bottom Line: No more yamato purchase unless they fix their screw-up and offer everybody spare parts. Graham, let those yamato guys know that they have lost a customer.

does severe stress mark count ?

jesus, guess all my valks need to stay in fighter mode forever to avoid disability... Just curious, suppose the ultra-expensive/exclusive 1/2000 SDF-1 has exploding shoulder too, would it be outragous enough to send people to boycott yamato? Edit: waiting for VF1D in the email, praying to plastic god right now...

just got two. each package weighs 95 lbs. i don't know how i am going to get them off the car...

Just got my VF-1J M&M, and placed an order for DYRL kakizaki, TV Max VF-1A, and VF-1D. Just to be extra cautious is there anything I need to be careful about when transforming the forementioned valks? Does anyone experience any broken-parts with these molds? One more question: the new 1/60 Roy VF-1S with flash light, will it be the new/improved mold or the one with shoulder problem? any tips will be appreciated.
