It does sound like you just got really unlucky (crosses fingers about my own 19S.) Though to be accurate someone has had that metal bar on their 17S break too so.... that's not necessarily a measure of safety.
-
My first impression when taking mine out of the box was, "I hate this f**king wing pin." It makes the wings too loose. Such a stupid idea/implementation Bandai. Also, whoever factory worker packaged my item didn't quite transform it correct. The chest was only halfway pushed down and collapsing it all the way made one of the wings difficult to set properly in fighter. I hope I'm not in for a surprise when I transform it.
-
Using the contrast to show off? How does it blend with the C or will it still require a bit of painting to match the whites? Also... cost???
-
Based on those Gamu review pics I would advise Yamato to take note because your ankles are shitty compared to these Bandai releases.
-
Hey MacrossJunkie how often did you transform your 19 before it broke?
-
I still haven't got a response from ishop2go yet. I don't know if that's a good sign or bad.
-
I expect i will be receiving a negative from ishop2go about my original pre-order with them but I still e-mailed them to find out if that order is still valid/good or not.
-
I still don't see how my package could make it to my house by tomorrow when it was only just scanned in Tokyo the other day. Fed Ex still claims it's coming the 3rd.
-
Interesting, this should be a lot of fun to check out for myself when it arrives (hopefully) tomorrow. It's too bad Yammie's 17 doesn't sound like it locks as well as the 171, I was never terribly happy with how the backpack holds in either mode. Whether it's tight or loose I don't really like that hip system on the 17 so the fact the 171 has a similar solution is a bummer too. I guess Bandai had to make something frigidty/annoying on this one too. Wing pins are dumb. I'm worried if the armor parts aren't tooled quite right we're going to end up with floppy messes when we switch out our wings now.
-
Hey Graham, how does the hip mechanism compare to the VF-17 versions? Also, how does the backpack attach/hold versus the 17 in Battroid? Is the backpack solid in Gerwalk compared to the 17 too?
-
Hey man I'm just checking. I saw a few others were getting shipments and I haven't ordered from these guys before.
-
So how many people who bought at Nippon Yasan have seen orders go out yet? I'm still waiting in processing and am wondering if I should fire off an e-mail or I'm just being impatient.
-
When do we start the group buy for the 171 parts?
-
To be honest, in animation the 17S head looks bad but on the toy the "Frankenstein" head actually looks really bad-ass.
-
That's not a bad idea either Graham.
-
If the hands do have to come off, and I completely understand why, it's too bad there isn't someplace they can be stored on the fighter so the people who do transform it often can just flip that place open and pull them out for convenience sake. I'd like a little place to store the covers on my VF-17 personally.
-
Your best bet is to use an extra gun pod from a VF-1 I'd imagine.
-
That is not a C. Besides, I've already had to blow $500+ on travel expenses for my Grandma's funeral. Even at that price I can't justify the extra spending.
-
Holy crap, that's cheap! And it comes at the worst time when I have to spend at least $500 for other things.
-
I'm pretty sure those hands are not "optional." The enclosure for the forearms are a strange size and I very much doubt they could fit hands inside of there.
-
The only "line art" I've seen of the landing gears are from those Musasiya. Hardly official. But the gears are pretty short on it.
-
Inestable is not a word.
-
That's an interesting observation. This 3D model does really make it look Alpha-esque. However it's transformation is more like a VF-1/11 hybrid.
-
Ah crap, you mean I have to get a fourth 11C so I can put the armor on one too?
-
If the gap on the back is anything like on the VF-17, and it looks like it is, it's no surprise they can fit the missiles in Battroid. There's tons of room to cram/hide stuff on that 17.
