Mine was starting to have the same issue, so I gave it the glue treatment. Looseness is unfortunately inevitable with all the ball/friction joints on these Bandai valks. This clip should help; quality is kinda funky, but you get the general idea of how to deal with the loose joint issue. When fixing the looseness on VF-25 hips, I didn't bother disassembling them. Just a dab on the outer portion of the ball joint and working it around seemed to work fine:

There were a few shots towards Nippon Yasan, but whatever... ishop2go deserves the feedback they got for sure. I think I'm just over all the panic mode speculation going on right now. I've got no beef with you preferring HLJ because they would've been a first choice for me too if I didn't need my sleep.

Dude, chill out, because I wasn't talking about folks just "preferring" to shop at one place over another. I was talking about folks that express their mistrust negatively towards reliable retailers (i.e. talk sh*t about them) despite never having even dealt with them before just because they kept their preorder window open slightly longer than other stores. I've got love for HLJ as much as anyone, but I think it's lame that people are shooting down stores like Nippon Yasan who have great service and aren't charging anyone up front for preorders. If that wasn't you, then calm down and make sure to really read stuff before you take it upon yourself to get offended ffs. Sheesh.

Love all these new collection pics! Very nice job folks... open displays are nice, but I can't imagine ever putting any Mac F valks outside my detolfs out of fear of having to dust those pointy pain in the ass things of beauty. lol

If otherwise satisfactory retailers who aren't charging you up front can't fill orders, that's no one but Bandai's fault because of their shite production numbers. Saying you don't trust these guys or those guys despite the fact that their track records are otherwise pretty good outside of these newer Bandai valks seems like an unfair rush to judgement. Obviously some retailers have longer track records, but declaring you won't order from someone else because you "think" they won't get you your toy is lame unless you personally have dealt with them before and they f*cked you over.

Reading this thread lately has me thinking the exact same thing... the pre-order I made through Nippon Yasan was for $192 and a bit before shipping, which is around $24 or so above HLJ. Nippon Yasan has come through for me on every order I've made with them so far, so I trust they'll do the best they can to fill their orders when the time comes (and if they can't, I place that blame on Bandai directly). $24, a pre-order in, no payment up front, no worries... the fact that folks passed on it when it was open because it wasn't exactly at msrp seemed odd to me, but yay for principles I guess.

1/60 VF-1 Accessory Parts from Yamato displayed at Wonder Fest

With the exception of the very first standalone super/strike parts set I bought, every other set I acquired was a "buy the bundle, sell the valk" move. It's really the only way to do it nowadays. -

Ugh... headache from recalling some of those kanji characters, but in short, they don't "foresee" any plans on producing that particular long sold out item. The Google translation was very literal; the "not going without feeling" part is a literal translation of the "kanji nashi desu" at the end of their reply, which obviously makes no sense in English. lol -
If you weren't jumping into the dialogue out of context, you might realize that I asked the question you quoted because it sounded absurd to me too. All up in the kool-aid and don't even know the flavor...

@monster - honestly, I bought the 29 as an impulse buy after preordering a 25G because I kept thinking about how sick they'd look next to my red and blue Max and Miriya vf-1j's. It's definitely grown on me since I took it out of the box.

My 29 just arrived today, and I'd have to say that I like it as much as my 25S and F. Another sexy valk for my detolfs...
