  1. The fun continues… and the swing plates with magnets are doing the job right.
  2. Bluefin “Warning” sticker is part of the criteria needed. If the product does not have it customer service will just kick out you request. Then they will respond stating you do not have the Bluefin “Warning” sticker“ and wash their hands. The. Tell you to go back to your retailer for support. I went back to vendor. They made the claim so now it’s a waiting game.
  3. There is no Bluefin sticker. So anyone importing is SOL. That’s the message I got.
  4. Well, here is the link provided by the vendor. https://www.bandai.com/returns-replacements Submitted my claim. Replacement parts take 6-8 weeks. Hopefully, I get my part. It will have to be a full arm as it does not seem that you can only replace the joint without destroying the forearm while trying to take it apart. Wish me luck.
  5. It is. When I opened it that was the first thing I checked before I even considered going any further. Then I see the stabilizer…
  6. I hope so too. The wing flap is popped out of place. Haven’t even taken it out of the clamshells. Crazy enough the box is pristine with no visible damage. This sucks.
  7. Got Bandaid. The arm vertical stabilizer is busted. Packaging itself is undamaged and shipping was top notch. I hope I can get a full replacement or an arm with said stabilizer.
  8. Pics I came across. Wanted to share the nightmares that await a few YF-21 owners. 😏
  9. Wow, that ThreeZero is Al kinds of…no thanks.
  10. This is true. Very true. And I must add, having handled it first hand, the figure does justice to all modes.
  11. Way past that stage already. There are pins located in the hips and the FLIRs actually accept them to connect and form the proper hip joints. Already moving into the knee joints.
  12. Does anyone know why Bandai included dummy gun pods? Also that little U-pin for the backpack is really saying a lot about Bandai’s oversight on this. And for no reason at all, you need to place an adapter to keep the body and backpack locked together. What is this a VF-2SS Hi-Metal R type of solution? So many disappointing choices.
  13. That is some really great work on those hinges.
  14. There is a video out on you tube but form some reason I can’t grab the link. If anyone can find it please share it here.
  15. The difference is due to the currency exchange. you really have to pay attention to maintain a a healthy exercise or positive achievement.
  16. Thank you. Paint is still a long ways from now. Many more modifications are pending. But rest assured, we’ll get there. For the most part, I am still trying to keep the look of original 1/55.
  17. In some instances yes. But not for every set of parts. Besides, buying original parts guarantees proper fit and finish when the appropriate pieces are procured. It takes but a few minutes to determine if the parts are worth their value. If you decide to buy due to being cheap well expect the worst. There are tons of great parts still available. Find a complete set and take the plunge.
  18. @Kyrie better to buy OG when the t’s still available. At least that’s my preference.
