newca, thanks for the welcome.

Thanks, DrClay. I'll take your advice and never buy a 1/60 again.

When the VF-1A Hikaru Valkyrie 1/60 (Yamato) came out, I bought it. This was the "bright" white first issue (I believe). I wasn't happy with it. It looked good, but now -- even though it's only been transformed and screwed with probably no more than 14 times -- it's very loose. It's hard to get it to stand in battroid mode (one leg is more loose than the other) and in gerwalk mode, the legs have a problem staying on (!). Basically, this is the reason I didn't go on collecting the 1/60 series. Though, they're nowhere as near as bad as the MPC t hat Toynami put out, I thought the 1/60s were engineered sweet, but built very poorly. My question is: I'm thinking about getting the 1/60 VE-1 Elintseeker and the 1/60 VT-1 Super Ostrich. Now, I've read through this site (MW), and it seems there have been updates here and there as the 1/60's came out throughout the months... So, should I get them; or will i have the same problems with loose parts and legs? Please let me know. 1/48 Skull 1 is coming to my door on Monday. I can't wait.

Hi guys... I'm new here. I should be getting my first 1/48 this Monday... and I can't wait! I don't have much of a macross/robotech collection, but I'm hoping that will change soon. Here's what I have (if you guys care): Bandai 1/55: - VF1A - VF1J - Super VF1S Toynami 1/55: - VF1S (I'm sure you guys agree, this one is such a piece of crap. But it looks good in the bookcase. Nice job on the armour set, though) Yamato 1/60 - VF1A (bought this sucker when it first came out. It was nice, but everything is soooo loose. This is what stopped me from buying more...well, until now. I just ordered the re-issue of the 1/48 VF1S... I hope what's said about it is true. Anyways, just wanted to say that I enjoy this site. And yeah, my collection probably blows compared to your guys' - but hell, I'm a beginner.
