Woah! And I thought I was going out of my mind when the same exact thing happened to mine after sitting on a shelf for a few months. The only real thing I could do was pry it further apart, squeeze some super glue in there, then press it closed again. Now my YF-19 never leaves battroid mode so he doesn't flaunt his crack. Bizarre.

logos Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I've had mine for about a year and I don't have that problem. Probably just bad luck. Quote
kanedaestes Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Same here. I have had the first release forever and its still holding up pretty well Quote
edwin3060 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 That just makes me want to get my YF-19 out to check it. Unfortunately its in storage for now. hmmm. Doesn't seem to be that widespread a problem compared to some other Yamato issues though. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Hmmn. Always seems to be on the right side, where the screw hole is. I just checked mine and it's OK, but I'm going to take it apart and smear some superglue around inside to reinforce the area if possible. Quote
indigofx28 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) order replacement parts from over drive 3 dollars for parts and then chipping price. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=27901 www.over-drive-inc.com I order replacemnt parts for the yf-21 1/60 and two 1/48 VF's Edited February 22, 2009 by indigofx28 Quote
m0n5t3r Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 most probably a case of an over-tightened screw... when i first saw jester's cracked 19 i checked on mine and saw some stress on the plastic exactly where his cracked... i just disassembled the right leg to access the screw and loosen it up a bit and the stress on the plastic was gone almost immediately.

indigofx28 Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 The wing hinge had fractured and broke. Quote
edwin3060 Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 The wing hinge had fractured and broke. Ouch. Any pics? Were you able to get a replacement? Quote
indigofx28 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Ouch. Any pics? Were you able to get a replacement? The replacement parts were ordered from over-drive-inc. In which over-drive made the request to yamato. it took about a month to hear back from over drive. but eventually they did send out my replacements. I thank God for that. Quote
