Wow! Thanks for the pics. First time I see pics of the box. Mine's on the way (finally! I was waiting for Tam to get the YF-19 FB to ship them altogether). Poor Shogo was feeling really lonely without his sweethart.

Edit: As for the griping of the gun, maybe you should try a bit if nail poloish or superglue to tighten the fingers a bit. I know I should try it.

No Problem....I love taking pics of my new pieces. I will have to try out this superglue/nail polish tip. THANKS.

Any reviews/pics of the Factory Garland yet?

I just bought my first Garland yesterday. I debated for a long time over which one to get since I like all of them. I was going to wait for the proto-Garland, but then I remembered how many toys I have on preorder for January/February already. Long story short, I came across an original Garland on Ebay for $79.99 and couldn't pass it up. Right after buying it I shot YamatoUSA and email asking if they were still offering replacement shoulders. They replied a few hours later and said to just give them an address and they'll send the parts. Now we'll see which gets here first, the Garland or the shoulders! LOL

LOL, my replacement parts came from Yamato but my Garland isn't scheduled to arrive until tomorrow. I am very impressed at how helpful and FAST YamatoUSA is with this issue. Too bad they don't offer the same service for bad Valk parts.

Slightly OT, but I actually needed a replacement part for a VOTOMS fig, and Yamato USA was super fast and helpful even though I sent out my email to them the day before Thanksgiving!

That's great! I'm glad to hear they can send out other parts besides Garland shoulders. I wonder if they'd send me a set of articulated Scopedog hands since the first-edition hands I have keep falling apart. ^_^

The Yamatos don't come with articulated hands... you're thinking Takara, which probably won't help you...

D'oh, you're right. And no, I wouldn't waste my time asking Takara. I like their stuff but I view them more as a faceless corporation that would send an automated response email.

I actually got a replacement Grey Armor Iron Man Marvel Legends figure when mine was defective in the box a few months ago...

Same figure broke for me, too. Arm came right off when I tried to move it. Luckily Target had a few of that figure and I was able to exchange it. Toy Biz was still making these at that time, correct?

Actually I don't think there are many toy companies at all that would send out replacement parts. Yamato is the only one I can recall doing such a thing. I think Hasbro used to several years ago, unless that was Kenner.

Hasbro and Kenner are the same company, and I've had several defective Transformers over the years and they were always good about sending me replacements.

I was referring to back before Kenner was absorbed by Hasbro. I never knew Hasbro sent replacement TFs, that's good to know. Would they just send a whole new toy?

I got my Garland today and BOTH shoulders are broken. The right arm was broken so bad right out of the box that it just fell off, and the other one isn't broken in the typical area but has a piece broken off and missing from the side. It's a good thing Yamato sent me replacement parts for both shoulders! :D

That's a shame mate. Glad you got the extra parts to fix the issue.

Wasn't it the actual metal bar that was breaking for most people? The part that was broken on the left arm of mine (the one that fell right off), was the plastic area on the shoulder, the 'female' part that holds 'male' arm peg. The plastic around the hole that would normally hold the peg in place was completely crumbled. At first I thought, "NOOO, that's not even the part that I got a replacement for!" but then I realized it's part of the whole shoulder assembly.

My only problem now is finding the time to perform surgery on this guy so i can actually play with him. He looks very sad the way I have him posed right now, staring down at his detached arm. :lol:

i'm sure its been answered but have these newer version been fixed as far as the shoulder and such?

i've been contemplating getting one for a while now but wanted to make sure the newer releases aren't lemons.

It was confirmed somewhere in this thread that the brown Military version has all the fixes and is solid all-around. Nobody has really said much about the Factory version yet (I want pics, dangit!).

thank you sir! the brown one was the one i was looking buy. :)

I transformed the brownie countless times and so far so good! Like eriku said, the military Garland has the new shoulders.

(I have no problem with the red Garland either, but that's just me)
