True enough, but this has been Yamato's SOP since the original 1/72 YF-19.
Stuff gets by QC. They may fix for the next release, if there is one. (VF-OS for example)
They are the only game in town.
Plus, it's not like everything Yamato makes is complete crap. I will still pre-order 1/48 release valks.
As far as there new releases go, I may start waiting for the second edition.
The only way to get them to change thier SOP to affect the bottom line. If enough of us buy second releases with fixes, some exce. may notice the trend a change something.
