So I emailed BBTS, I will wait to hear what they say……fingers crossed! Twich

I purchased mine through BigBadToyStore.com, guess I should contact them next since ThreeZerosaid that there is no postal service to the USA. Twich

I had a very lengthy email discourse with the warranty people(?). It ended with them wanting me to disassemble my VF-1S(my air brake doesn’t sit flat, straight out of box) and send them the chest assembly with cockpit at my expense to Hong Kong, then they will try to fix it(take a few weeks) and then send it back to me. I told them that the cost of shipping isn’t worth disassembly of the jet and sending it to them for a non flush air brake, just send me the canopy assembly and call it good. I am waiting for a response. I have to say, my ThreeZero VF-1J had that disgustingly tight slide mechanism for the arms was a small trade off for all the QC problems I’ve had on the VF-1S. QC issues right out of box: -wing landing light assembly not glued to wing -air brake does not sit flat -canopy attachment assembly was not glued in from the factory and the canopy fell off multiple times -the actual canopy broke off of the attachment assembly while opening canopy Regardless of outcome, this will be my final ThreeZero VF-1 toy. Unless they offer something that curls my toes, like a 1/60 YF-4 or 1/60or 1/48 Alpha(Legioss) for now, I just can’t open the canopy, it will still transform and stuff. Not what I want to be dealing with on a $180 transforming jet. Twich

ThreeZero response: Dear Customer, Originally when you found these issues, you should contact us first and we may arrange the repairing service after finish the warranty registrations. But now you had glue it and also not register the warranty until now, the factory cannot help due to use the glue to fix it. Please show us the buying receipt and the warranty sheet images for checking first. Thanks! Best Regards, Threezero CS I know that this must be translated Engrish, but I’m guessing that this is ThreeZero speech for “tough crap”? Twich

So, my VF-1S’s canopy just broke off. I don’t know how the warranty thing goes with a ThreeZero, but I filled out the card and emailed an inquiry. Twich

I just got my ThreeZero VF-1S a week or so ago, while I enjoy that the arms slide on the sliding mechanism, one of the landing light things on the right wing was not glued into place and fell off. I had to gorilla glue it on. The airbrake mechanism does not sit flat, like it does on my ThreeZero VF-1J, so I dont know if anyone has a fix for the airbrake, but overall, I enjoy the VF-1S and this is really my first one in a long time, since the original v1 Yamato 1/60 release.

Got an email today double checking the correct spelling of names for the list of names added to the disc for all those that contributed to the kickstarter, hope this means that everything will be done by Christmas or early January 2026. Twich

I actually never got the opportunity to get one of these, I love the VF-31 and I definitely would like one of these. Twich

I continue to be amazed at the tech and mecha of Macross Zero. Wonder what Roy and Shin could have done if their VF-0’s were sporting some FF-1999’s that they used in the space proving VF-0 for space trials. Twich

I got some money for my birthday, went to a casino, got promotional cash for it being my birthday, and ended up winning some money, enough to order the Hi Metal R VF-2SS reissue and will now have it to go along with the kickstarter UHD copy of Macross II, whenever that releases! Quite the year for Macross II lovers! Twich

I agree! I just hope that BBTS has this out in customers hands by November. I know it is released in Japan on October 25th, but with the slow boat shipping, I hope it makes it in time! Twich

I Love the DX Chogokin VF-171EX renewal that I have, and this looks to be a nice design. I know that isn’t a popular opinion, but I think it would be a good addition to the upcoming VF-19 KaiFireValkyrie. Twich

I just recently transformed my Bandai DX Chogokin YF-21 to Battroid mode for the first time, and as a figher guy almost exclusively, I rather like the battroid mode of the YF-21 and actually have the toy displayed in battroid. The transformation was not too horrible, I actually was expecting close to SV-262 level of anxiety, but it was pretty easy, especially watching Jenius' Scorched Earth Toys video on Youtube. Twich

Very nice read. Makes me hopeful of further toy developments that will be in the $100-$150 range for the toys is always a bonus. While I have never touched the Sentinel Legioss or Tread, they look absolutely wonderful and worth the $200-$400 price tag, not to mention the Mospeada. The POSE+ looks awesome, but is way out of my league for price. The scale is perfect, but the cost is just too much. Hope to be able to acquire one of these. Twich

I hope that there are lots of mecha designs in the book. Twich
