none on mine at the moment. i think out of my entire collection of vf-1's i had 2 crinkled rainbow tints which going into buying i was aware of the "widespread issue" on specific valks in particular. 2 or 3 specific releases. the virgin road, roy weathering. and vf-1a hikaru. (miria had a ultra thick coating but was ok on mine) aside from the 2 to 3 "known issue" rainbow canopy valks which were later corrected. i've never ever encountered a rainbow flake on later releases for example any low viz roy ever. out of the 5 copies i owned none of them flake. and out of my entire collection of yamato's which i own multiple copies of many. i don't have issues but i know those few releases did have issues. hard points are a different matter. yamato hardpoints coming off are a rare occurrence as much as a vf-1 foot coming off bc it was not glued on properly. (happened to me on one of my mass production vf-1a's)

1) wrong. it was not an issue on yamatos. not all vf-1 releases had an issue. i've seen maybe one or two yamato hard points pop off due to non abuse. it was not a common issue or there would've been a thread on it constantly. and yes it was rare. nowhere near what is being commonly reported with arcadia. defining the term " an issue" a problem that is a common occurrence such as: Arcadia 0A legs popping off/canopy scratches due to heat shield pins not being filed down. 171 triangles crumbling. Arcadia hardpoints may have been poorly designed by what is being discussed. the stress marks are an issue that was not shared on the virgin road nor previous Yamato Max and Miria releases. perhaps the type of plastic or quality is different.

thanks for the images. seems like the mold degradation is similar to the complaints man had of some of the encore g1 reissues. i'm just glad i grabbed all the yamatos before they went belly up. I really hope this is a fluke and the hard points can be re-corrected. Mr. K mentioned already having to retool the mold slightly to improve joint tightness for this release. prior to release. hopefully they can retool the hard points.

Arcadia seems much more sloppier with QA. i'm pretty disappointed with all these reports of stress marks and hardpoints that are incorrectly glued. and may even be the shape of the hard points themselves. Go Yamato!

all mine don't and i have a lot of yamato vf-1's. i haven't heard any yamato Max or Miria yamato missile mount failing and falling off the wings as common as arcadia.
-
the reason this is happening is the mold is degrading. stick to yamato

you sir have fallen into the deep rabbit hole of valk collecting
