Sumdumgai Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 A vote of broken with no explanation isn't really worth much. Lets get some descriptions of these breakages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 A vote of broken with no explanation isn't really worth much. Lets get some descriptions of these breakages! Ok. So mine came without the head and the t-bar totally jammed in the fuselage. Gently pulling it out caused the hinges on the door to just crumble away. Seems the T-bar is sticking for a lot of people though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Overall, the QC on the quality of this line seems pretty damn good. Looking forward to getting my replacement on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 seems more like poor packaging issues... missing parts or crammed the wrong way...hope mine arrived safe and sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 and 2 of those "Broken" votes were wrong wernt they? Didnt David change something in the poll? No, there's 2 extra total votes reported--but each individual category is correct. The 2 votes were non-votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 so then we have 4 "It's broken" votes, with no explanations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 No, there's 2 extra total votes reported--but each individual category is correct. The 2 votes were non-votes. I pressed the "Show Results", did that show up as a non-vote? Sorry if it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danth Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 5 broken out of 32. I'd say that's very bad. 15% breakage rate out of the box? Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miriya Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 5 broken out of 32. I'd say that's very bad. 15% breakage rate out of the box? Yikes. Sure. So far that is not a good percentage. However 4 of those people have not commented on how or why it was broken. I do not think anyone would vote just for fun but still I want to know specifics. Also I am curious to see how these numbers change in the next three weeks as more and more members get theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikuro Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'm voting perfect....the one and only thing that bugs me and not a issue really, is the gunpod not staying put in any forms when connected to the arms. then again, the only ones that hve are the 1/48s. otherwise, this right now is my favorite VF-1 until hikaru's VF1A comes out the end of next month.

pochimus prime Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 There are at least a couple of more people in my home forum that has this,and they don't have complaints. One even made a review for our forum, and his review is very favorable I don't think I could add them in the poll, so I'll just say it here: + 2 to perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autobrat Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 i'm going to leave mine misb so hopefully it won't fall apart when i stare at it too long through the box window yes mine came in on Saturday and I picked it up from my neighbor's house after work today. Wish I could join the vote because I'm really itchy to open this baby up. But if I know I do, my girl is going to kill me with the limited space we have because of my toys!!! For now I'll do what the guy whom I quoted above and hope for the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pochimus prime Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 My 1/60's shoulders come apart easily. Could you provide pics, more details on the problem, and what fix you did? It'll help any of us who'll encounter it. I'll be getting another one this weekend (for a diorama). I'll see how that turns up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonz Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 got mine yesterday, voted perfect! some special features that i like... • removable head to avoid breaking the head gun when transforming • removable cockpit awesome! • double joint elbow • easy attachment of the boosters • pilot finally has legs! what i don't like • the swing bar is almost impossible to remove after inserting into the underside of the nose cone in battroid mode. anyone has a better technic to get the bar out? overall its so beautiful! why didnt they thought about this long ago....

sousuke Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 hi guys. I'm new to this forum. anyway i got the 1/60 VF-1S as my first valk. been a fan for a very long time but never actually got around to buy any of the valks until recently anyway gotta say that I love my 1S and I've got no problems with it. can't wait for next month when I get my 0S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 The U.S. Postal Service gave me a scare this morning when they delivered Kevin's package from the Valkyrie-Exchange. It was beaten up after traveling across country. And, as if to put a further point on it, the mailman slinked away from the house without knocking on the door or ringing the bell. It's really nifty when he does that. I swear, I used to have a friendly postal worker making deliveries in the neighborhood. At least, that was my impression. Perhaps I'm irritating everyone at my branch with all the Yamato toys? Anyway, this retail box will not be winning any collector's awards, but I only care about the contents. Thankfully, there are no missing pieces, no broken parts, and the Valkyrie itself looks fantastic. I am really pleased with this version. It compliments the other 1/60 variants well by keeping the same scale, and I find that it offers a nice juxtaposition to the 1/48 VF-1S.

eugimon Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 got mine, good shape. happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Still, all good reports except one, and the others aren't speaking. I wonder if those were just bogus votes by people messing up the tally. Going by responses, we are at what about 90% happy/satisfied or higher? Somehow, the poll seems a bit off with no comments on the broken side.

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Yeah, I'd like to see a list of the problems found so far, if that's possible. I'm late to the party and I'm curious. Graham mentioned a crooked skull emblem on one fin. I also read about a shoulder falling off. Anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pochimus prime Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I'd also like to know those that voted on these: "Mine is not broken or perfect but I have complaints. " For one, it'll help Yamato improve their products further. Though I voted for perfect, I do have a few very minor complains (that didn't really affect my overall score): 1. The visor's too dark that it's almost black. 2. Yamato's stickers still leave much to be desired. 3. It's tricky to transform due to the way you have to place/remove the t-brace to the nose cone. 4. Additional articulation in the legs could've helped more but really, it doesn't mean that current articulation doesn't cut it. No other complaints here. Much was said about the giraffe neck, but it frankly didn't bother me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodler7 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 now i've only transformed mine 3 times to a battroid and back to a plane with all armor missles attached. the gunpod though will not stick on the arm pins. whack! ... but over all nothing is broken.

Javabean Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Just recvd my VF-1S & hv transformed to battroid with no prblm. So far so good, all parts are intact in one piece . My only complaints is the instrument panel. Thought its supposed to tampo print but all I see is blank white panel. And the sticker given is not large enough to cover it. But not a prblm as I use spare a 1/48 sticker to cover up. Will try to take a shot of it . Not sure if anyone experience it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too worried coz the 1/48 legs were ok, not great (like 19/51 legs - and i do know they are different valks lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
