I think we should send pics of every single VF-1 with broken shoulders. Not only do they need to know that it's a current problem, but ALSO that there are still MANY people who have been waiting for months and months for replacement parts for ones that broke long ago. Again---I think numbers will count for more than clarity in this situation. Send cell phone pics if you have to. Just get pics of your broken valks so we can send them to Yamato--and that they can see pic after pic after pic after pic of broken valks. (the impression I get is that they still think this was a rare issue for the early ones, and that only like 5 broke) We need to convince them otherwise.

Seriously---everybody, post pics. I say we flood Yamato with pics of broken shoulders. Doesn't matter if they're clear or not, just show your broken Yammies. (and we really need to split this into another thread) Maybe I'll start one just for pics of broken shoulders.

Hopefully, a 1:6 pre-painted flightsuit Grace.

Can we all send pics of our broken shoulders? If you present them with 100 different photos of 100 different broken valks...

Whatever happened to the Grace article in #37? (I think it was 37)

Can you ask them for about 50 sets of smooth-pinned hinges for replacements? (at the very least, please let them know there's still a lot of VF-1 owners who have been waiting for months and months for parts and still have broken valks)

Rabidweezil wins for first clear pics.

Chronocidal--brighter light. Just from looking at your pics I think that'll help more than a new camera.

pondo--there's already several threads about it. This thread is not for that, this is purely a poll.

I have no idea. I just plan to present all this evidence to Graham and see if he can get a big box of just shoulders or something (since shoulder breakages are a hot topic between him and Yamato now). Even if such a thing happens, distribution may be an issue. And your last sentence is another point I'd like to try to get across to Yamato---we just need the hinges, not the entire arm assembly.

Yeah, so Caprica is just like BSG, without the B, S, nor G...

Yeah, your best option now is to loosen the screws. The YF-19 requires screw adjustments the most, but the VF-1 can sometimes benefit too.

Shin--did you vote? There's still only one "multiple sets" vote.

But .4 liters smaller and some forced induction added would be better though IMHO. (that pretty much goes for every car/engine in existence nowdays)

Darn it, I did forget about that possibility. I'll see what I can do. ::edit:: New thread option added.

It is, by quite a lot.

I'll be ticked if they outshopped Grace's animation to an inferior group or something...

Yup. It's very tight the first time.

Trying to see just how many un-fixed VF-1's are still out there. Also, this is a poll strictly to acquire "numbers needed from Yamato"---if yours hasn't broken, don't participate. If yours have been replaced already, also don't participate----this is not trying to find out how many broke in total, it's trying to find out how many still ARE broken.

We need to set up a poll for MW members who need VF-1 shoulders, so Graham can request the appropriate number---that'd also let Yamato know just how many more have broken than they are aware of. (I assume they're aware of all the ones that have been replaced).

If only they actually used this scheme:

Could you use what influence you have to get some extra shoulder hinges for those MW members who are still waiting for parts? I.E, ask for a half-dozen or so when you ask for replacement parts for yours? (will that VF-1J match the early VF-1S releases?----white vs very light grey, etc)
