I've stayed away from the ranting and complaining, but I can't let this one pass...
1. Funny? We were clamoring for a '19 that wasn't problematic, certainly not a Do-it-yourself-variable fighter that we've had to cumulatively spend hundreds of hours modding. Where is the humor in that? You think that's funny?
2. Ok, so your '19 came from the factory WITHOUT the crooked gunpod or landing gear that doesn't deploy completely or the stress marks on that grey joint/hinge thingy? I'll bet you one of my cars that isn't the case. And even if your '19 did come from the factory with no defects, somehow the rest of us are just supposed to shut up and ignore the problems we've had to deal with just because YOU got lucky?
3. It's your money to blow, so buy the foldildo and all of the stupid single-stripe, jungle-camo, all grey, all black, all blue, Dukes of Hazzard variants of the '19 that Yamato will come up with-I'm glad someone's got money to throw away on nonsense.
4. So, because no one other than Yamato and Bandai have developed variable-fighters we're just supposed to accept what they dish out, regardless of any issues we may have with the products? And those Bandai valkyries that you so easily dismissed NEVER, EVER had any QC issues that anyone can remember during the 20 or so years of their production. Hell, even their BOOTLEGS don't have a considerable history of defects over the last 20 years.
5. You gotta' love the 'ol "Remember the Macross drought so love whatever comes our way now" mentality. That's alot like this gif, just pretend it's Yamato instead of Sony:

Yeah, the whining and complaining, although justified, is out of control and ridiculous, but the "Yamato-can-do-no-wrong" as well as the sympathizer/apologizer types are equally ridiculous if not more so....
