I have nothing against graham. He's the man for all macross yamato stuff.
I just expect that YAMATO lives up to the preproduction quality for the production toy. Otherwise why am I chucking out the bucks for a flawed production version while the preproduction version is considerably better.
Take the VF-0S. the preproduction was excellent, yet mine that I ordered and paid over $ 150 for is flawed and breaks when transformed just two days from receiving the product.
I'm just holding Yamato up to the quality they show us on the preproduction samples. I hope you agree, that if you see a product and pay a certain level of price for the product you expect the certain level of quality that the preproduction or production product holds up to.
