I'm not sure if I can revive this thread, and it isn't locked yet so I guess I can continue it.
I got late into collecting in general. I do wish that I started early, just so I could have avoided all of the madness that comes with it. I managed to snatch 2 unopened valks from Mandarake (Ozma's and Alto's). However, Ozma's left wing where the SMS roundel goes has a scratched tampo print. Am I stuck with this or can I shoot Bandai an e-mail? I might just end up covering it with Ozma's armor parts but the prices have gone through the roof, and not to mention that they are really hard to find now.
