Have you tried contacting your seller, maybe he can replace it if it's a manufacturing flaw or something.
I bought mine from BBTS.com and they sometime offer replacement depending of the case.
Here's my extremly little collection.
1 x Yamato 1/60 YF-19
1 x Yamato 1/48 VF-1S Hikaru
Fast packs have been ordered/pre-ordered for both. Both have some of Takatoys excellent stikers applied.
I also fixed the crooked YF-19 Gunpod.
So looks like I have the G-man himself supporting Hikaru's VF-1S paint scheme as being just as nice or even better tham Roy's.
EDIT : Spelling
Back on the YF-19, heres a couple of pics of mine with some of Takatoys stickers applied.
EDIT : Pics added.
Well if memory serves right, the internal jeg missile bays on the vf-11c are not cannon. Kawamori-san once said that these were early concepts and that the cannon vf-11 had no internal missile bays in the legs.
Well I for one think Hikaru's VF-1S paint scheme is a nice variant.
Everyone always gets Roy's scheme.
So from my POV, it's a nice dictinction from everyone else.
Have fun at WF Graham.
If you didn't bring your laptop, don't worry, I'm sure the community will survive a couple of days more without pics from the event.
