no kidding! Yoiks dude...
As Ive said elsewhere, i have never had a problem with any Yamato stuff up till the recent 0's. And then, yeah i had problems. but its still overall good, and the problems arent universal.
the 1/48 vf-1 i havent had a single problenm with, and Ive had 6. All are fine. heck i have 2 more on the way and another 3 in my backlog at Neova!
As for the 19, i think in some ways its Yamatos best. Its much more easy to play with than the otehrs. ive transformed it many time, and never had issues with the canards, legs, or intake covers coming off. its had minor issues with the wheel and gun. nothing huge. mot people wouldnt notice them. we're herdier than most, so we did.
Ra Yamato I say!
