Graham,
Those broken areas are just like those of the VF-0A/S. Would there really be any reason to bring this issue up to Yamato? The only thing they could do is move on an use different types of plastics.
Would using POM for joints ever become an option? Sure, it might be a bit more expensive, but at least it would do the job well. Hopefully, Yamato can use this should they ever attempt make a revised version of the YF-19.
BTW - Do the new VF-19(s) use this same material?? I would hate to think what future holds for these new releases.
As it is, I have already come to the conclusion that no matter what Yamato product I buy, I am ready to accept the worst case scenario.
Invest in PlaticWeld. It works.
