pondo Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I'd really like to start getting some 1/60's. Specifically the TV versions. But I keep seeing things about broken shoulders and whatnot. So I'm wondering if that was just on the early V2's. Especially Hikaru's VF-1J and Roy's VF-1s. I notice that those ones came out early on and I'm wondering if they have improved the mold. http://www.over-drive-inc.com/store/produc...roducts_id=1013 This is a great price, but if it's from a poor quality mold, I may just skip it and get a DYRL hikaru instead. Are there any rules to live by with the 1/60 V2.0's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondo Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 one of the reason's I'm skeptical is that I recently made the noob mistake of buying a V1 from ebay I feel pretty lame about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0n5t3r Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) but if you could wait a little longer, you could hold off for re-issues that will have the not so new and improved crotch attachment mechanism. so far only the VE-1 and VT-1 have been shown to have this. EDIT - added link - http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=30292 but i think you're too itchy to get a new valk to get over your v.1 1/60.

It just sits there, looking pathetic next to my 1/48 cannon fodder. Heck my revoltechs look better than the V1 I have. any links to images (or threads) of this new crotch assembly?

VFTF1 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I have six or seven v.2 VF-1s and all of them are in great shape. One Roy has a slight crease in his shoulder but nothing a litle epoxy and careful handling couldn't fix. Don't hold out. It's much easier to get these guys spaced out over time than to wait until the last minute and then face the daunting task of getting all at once Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondo Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 Thanks guy, I'm the type who really likes their ducks in a row when spending frivolous money on things I don't really need but want badly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
