Yes, and the fact that Varibale fighters are just that, Variable, and they are NOT meant to be models with flimsy plastics, and are
highly complex in design compared to a Mech that is made purely for hand to hand. (the flying brick variable Gundams don't count).
So it really is that bandai are ignorant on not applying more care with a "toy" release, fobbing it off like "hey it's not a perfect grade model like
our Gundams, it's just a toy.." totally miss-understanding the importance of developing a HIGH END Variable Fighter.
Yamato sure does though. (except i'm really pissed off on some of their short-cuts lately ala VF-1D canopy, VF-1 1 seater crap)
I'm over this now, i understand Bandai now pretty much, i'll wait patiently in the next 2 months before cancelling.
