Myersjessee Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 So...my oldest VF1...the Hikaru VF1A (not the oldest, but my oldest) was sitting on display amongst all my 1/60's in gerwalk on a shelf thats approximatly 6' off the ground. Below it, my floor was a mess, which I was cleaning. I moved the large metal plates from my weight bench under the shelf (to clean) and banged the bottom of the shelf. Seconds later (as I turned away) the Hikaru toppled from the shelf forward and struck my 25lb weight square. Pieces went everywhere...legs, hands, gunpod, missiles, cockpit.... and it wasn't damaged. Not a scratch. A Christmas miracle...and props to the early Yamato 1/60's....solid toys IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 (edited) a festivus miracle indeed! added: i was moving my super 1J a while back holding it by the legs. being that the toy is top heavy it toppled over and i tried to grab it before it hit the ground. i literally bobbled it higher than my head and dropped from 6' up or so then came crashing down. not a single broken piece, not even the tiniest of scratches....the 1/60s RAWK!

I wish I'd been that lucky. I'd had my 1J on my dresser one day, bumped the dresser, and it went off the back, landing on a solid concrete floor. The left shoulder joint and the backpack hinge broke. I have no clue about how to get them fixed (at least I can get recast BP8's from Rohby for my 1/48; I just placed an order for the second one [for the same Valk! ]).
