    Arcadia VF-5000G

    So excited about a new valk that's not from either Frontier or Delta. With the exception of the VF-27 Lucifer, every other valk that came after the VF-22 was so underwhelming

    The HMR Bat-shu is pretty nice too, just wished it came with the spear just like his RD counterpart I hope that the Mk-ii transformation to its prowler mode is solid, though the prowler mode is a pretty meh alt-mode

    LOL BBTS updated the description from 15” to 8” . Still the same price though

    https://www.taghobby.com/archives/446199 Eva-01 recolor with Spear of Longinus. I guess it’s great for those that missed the first one .....

    Is the sentinel getter 1 in scale with the gx-91? Might do the same since I also prefer sentinel’s getter 1

    Yaaaaaasssss, just got a tracking from Bluefin’s and I’m guessing it’s the Eva-02 since that’s the only thing I’ve ordered from them recently ❤️❤️❤️

    Hobby Search comes through! I sent a video of the loose joint then a pic of the misassembled ankles. They're asking for me to return it using the cheapest method possible then to allow for some wait as they get a replacement from the manufacture. They will reimburse me for shipping. Great customer service! "Thank you very much for your inquiry, and we are very sorry to hear of the trouble. We understand that the product is defect, so we would like you to return the product to us in order to receive a replacement from the manufacturer. <snip, snip> ....Please note that it may take time for the manufacturer to send us the replacement, so please allow us time for this."

    Emailed Hobby Search about the defects a few days ago. No response yet.

    So my other wing joint on the other side started to loosen up as well. It's the same piece as the one I reported on earlier but on the right side. I don't know if it was possible to design the wing joints with detentes but I know of no other way that the joints can remain stiff while still needing to articulate. And I was soooo looking forward to a cannon fodder and the Nora version. This sucks

    Has anyone had any success getting an issue fixed with a problematic valk? Been out of the valk loop for some time now so I'm not sure what type of response we'll be getting from the retailers we bought our valks from.

    Pledge Floor Care Multi-Surface Finish. From your description earlier, I deduced that this was the joint that was problematic for you. Mine has a little bit of play on the left side but it doesn't flop when you flip the fighter upside down. Hope this helps you out, and at least you're not having to deal with the misassembled ankles :P

    LOL, just my luck, I have a misassembled ankle. FML Edit: just like what Anubis posted from twitter. Pic attached

    So what I did was to drip a tiny bit into the gaps around the pin joint (I circled the areas in black with the attachment). Move the joint around, wait a while, then do it again a few hours later. Check back the next day to see how the joint is doing. Repeat as necessary. Make sure to clean up the area around the joint since floor polish can leave the plastic shiny. I use a little alcohol to wipe the floor polish off from the surrounding areas. I use a syringe to access those hard to reach places. You can get syringes from Amazon. Edit: probably a good idea to do this for all the joints that articulate the wings. Doesn't hurt the toy at all. It's a non-permanent solution, so you'll have to do this again as the polish will grind into dust with repeated use of the joint.

    LOL, as drastic as your defect looks, you're wise to keep that copy and fix the foot. Pin joints are never 100% fixable, while you'll have a lot more success with sanding and epoxying the two pieces together. I'd rather have your defect than loose wing joints.
