@68whiskey - Bro, I feel your frustration. My VF-31AX Bogue has the same issue. This is mine taken out of the box - it's annoying that the gun points downward and there's a gap. Frak! Bandai'ed again!!
Does anyone know if and when Flightpose will get more stock in? Been checking their website and they are completely out of stock - been like that for about a year (I believe).
