FWIW, I plan on making replacements. Should only cost a couple bucks. I don’t usually advertise/sell, but this situation seems all kinds of “this could have been avoided” and it really irks me.

Does HLJ stalk these forums? Got my notice w/i 45 minutes after posting. God bless HLJ!

Happy for you and everyone else who got an in-stock notice. I ordered one from HLJ really late and haven’t gotten a notice yet, so I’m guessing HLJ fills orders by FIFO. #respect

Unfortunately, wings don’t ratchet or have a detent. At least not on any of mine.

"trailing edge flaps, which are primarily things that only fold down, not up, " Not exactly, but I understand your point. If the edge flaps fold down, then they have to fold back up to return to their "resting" position. So they do pivot down and up, and those panel lines need to be consistent across both the dorsal and ventral surfaces. But again, I understand your point. Well made. The green-colored area, however, doesn't necessarily have to be different across a wing's dorsal and ventral surfaces. It's just that they typically are "in the real world" due to, I'm figuring, efficiency of design and cost. In the Macross world, Imma be generous and give them a pass on this one. 🙂

I understand your question now. Yes, I ordered directly from ThreeZero.
-
What? I don’t follow. For context: I am in pharma and fly 2-10 times a week. The little, individual flaps along a wing’s trailing edge swivel up and down, so the dorsal panel lines have to match perfectly with the ventral panel lines. I’m missing something.

Wings can’t have similar panel lines on their underside?

I bought a bunch of 'em off Mandarake and Jungle for a great price not too long ago. I don't remember the exact prices, but they were >$100 off eBay prices at the time for some reason. I wouldn't recommend Jungle because they double-charged me for a huge purchase (e.g., something like $1500) and I had to eat it because my bank accepted their invoices (even though the bank couldn't read any of it because everything was in Japanese and, interestingly, all of the documentation looked like it had been photocopied a dozen times). It's life.

I disagree. There isn’t a conspiracy here. They’re just posing the figures in logical, straightforward ways.
-
My arms stayed up - the correct position - in battroid mode w/o the fillers just fine. I wasn’t looking for a locking mechanism to keep the arms in place w/o the fillers, however, so I can’t say if there is one.
-
I've transformed one of mine only once, and I believe the forearms were flush if not slightly recessed. The figure has excellent heft, and the one I transformed was absolutely rock solid in fighter mode. Hasbro/Takara...pay attention!
-
That’s mistransformed. The shoulders are on rails that slide forward (bow-ward) to close the gap behind the head.

[Using your image only for convenience.] I don't like comparisons that scale based on overall length (by default?). We can select a number of different points on which to align/scale images, and the point(s) of alignment can have a huge impact on the result. For example, and this is just for illustrative purposes, if the distance between the exhaust rudders and the air intakes is exactly the same across the two images, you get a very different take on how the two fighters stack up against one another when you standardize each image based upon said distance.
