I completely agree mate!!

I've been away from the MW "Toy" boards for several months ... and only yesterday started reading some threads to catch up. Anyways, I discovered there were some QC issues with the VF-19 - especially in this thread. I bought my VF-19 back in Jan, but left it MIB - just never got around to playing with it, since I love the fighter mode (which was displayed in the box) and I was busy trying to buy TF Alternators before sellers starting hiking up prices b'c of the TF movie hype. Tonight I opened her up and realized that right out of the friggin box, the 2 grey plastic pieces underneath the neck already have stress marks from the screws. FAWK!!!!! I never even friggin transformed it yet!!! I got "Yamatoed"!!!!! So my question is, am I screwed and will the neck break off soon???

Well said mate ...

I'm also hoping Yamato makes a 1/60 Vf-11B .... QC issue free, of course!!

Belated congrats mate. Welcome to the 1/48 valkyrie club. Prepare to have your wallet hate you and I hope you enjoy eating Ramen noodles! Wait until you get an "Armoured Valkyrie" set .. it is amazing,

Here's hoping the QC issues are resolved for the 2nd edition reissue of the VF-0S.

I also think that's probably why the Japanese fan base would likely complain less about QC issues, b'c they can get them resolved. Lucky them.

Wow ... what a POS.

I hope so .... I'd love to have 1/48 versions of the Elintseeker & VF-1D.

Cool. Thanks. Yeah, I'll wait until others have bought the reissue before getting one myself.

Does anyone know how to tell the difference between a 1st issue and 2nd issue of the Vf-0S? So I know I'm getting the reissue? Thanks in advance.

Whoa. Nice custom ... looks amazing!!

Been away from the MW boards for a long time ... And after reading this thread & the older one on the VF-0S & VF-0A shoulder problems ... wow. I am thankful that I didn't have enough money to buy either model (instead, I kinda caught the Transformer bug for the last year). I was thinking of getting the Shin combo, but I think I'll pass or wait a little longer. Sorry to hear about all these breakages guys ... but thanks for sharing.

Wow - that was pretty impressive!!!

Just read the news on this. Wow. I am excited about this.

Fugly. Talk about tacky. Meh.

This looks sweet. Glad I didn't buy Deluxe Jazz yet!!

I think you meant of all the "Voyager class" TFs. I've picked up several Deluxe class TFs: Brawl, Wreckage, Bonecrusher, & Barricade. My fav is Wreckage - great mold and looks good in both modes.

In terms of the 6' Titaniums, the only ones I've ever seen at retail were: Scourge, RID Prime, WW Prime, GIJoe Megatron, Optimal Optimus & Starscream. I bought Rodimus, Cheetor & Jetfire off of eBay at reasonable prices. Still looking for Fallen & G1 Ultra Magnus ...

I've been looking all over for him as well with no luck. He's been listed on eBay several times at sky-high prices ... WTF?!?!?

I have both the Convoy & Megatron .. these are sweet. I'll definitely be getting one of these ... kool!

Haven't posted in a long while ... but have been checking this site and this thread periodically. Truth be told, the last 10 months I've moved from collecting the Yamato valkyries into TFs ... Just read the Botcon annoucement that the remaining seekers in the Classics line will only be available as exclusives to Botcon ... for a greatly inflated price. While still available to non-attendees, $329 is a lot for $60 worth of figures. Like many others, I'm a little pissed. I have to vent: Hasbro - you F------ a$$holes. Apologies for being harsh and thanks for listening.

Thanks for the excellent review Graham!!! Mucho appreciated mate!! Can't wait to get mine.

Finally managed to find a Cybertron deluxe Megatron (the repaint of the beast wars dinosaur) at Wal-Mart for $7.88 and he rocks!! He is way cool! I am very impressed with this figure! I think he was short-packed in the boxes too, seeing as there was only 1 of him and the repaint of Optimus Prime (beast wars Gorilla) in the entire display, but there were tons of Smokescreen, Longrack, and Cannonball. Just wanted to share an FYI.

Hey, if I can get 4 free minicons ... why not?
