As of the time of this writing, Amiami has 10 more available. Well, 9 now since I just placed an order for one. I wanted to take advantage of the half off shipping while I could.

This one is just to show that the right leg is just fine.

Good thing I have Yamato customer service on speed dial. Literally, every single release, I've had to phone them. I'd rather this wasn't an exception, the timing couldn't possibly be worse since I'm about to move house.

you have the worst luck

(took awhile for that to load)

damn! amputee VF-11C right out of the box! good thing you live in Japan.

[Graham]

What happened to Renato? Can't be bothered to load the movie on my slow-ass antique computer.

Graham

[BlueMax]

Nothing happened to him, but his VF-11 sufferes from loose hip syndrome: the left leg cannot be attached to the hip T-bar.

[Alex]

you have the worst luck

I think Renato and I BOTH have the worst luck.

Funny, since the 11B is the most solid, well put together valk I have.

Had to be the holiday mood setting in before the workers went for their long Lunar New Year holidays

OMG! That's horrible! Can this f*ckin company not get ANYTHING right?? That's really NOT something I needed to watch since mine is arriving today or tomorrow! CRAP....now I'm gonna have nightmares!

[Chronocidal]

Don't talk to me about nightmares.. last night I dreamed I got my Miria 22 in the mail.. and it was a knockoff, bootlegged Chinese bastardization, using half Max and half Miria parts, painted up in Thunderbirds markings, with incorrect figures of Max and Miria jammed into the one cockpit, and landing gear stolen off of a masterpiece Starscream. Oh, and both kneecaps were missing, of course.

Well...I guess maybe that doesn't qualify as a nightmare, because it was flipping hilarious when I woke up... or maybe I was laughing at the portion of my dream where I watched a pug wrestling with a midget alligator...

They better make another run of these, I might buy a couple (being all white-ish, they're prime stock for customs). I put this one (and a Max 22) off til next month, since I already bought a boatload of Frontier stuff this month.

True, I forgot about you. The two of you balance out scream man who the best luck, even his vf-0s didn't go 'splodey.

Just because you make fun of the situation doesn't mean it's not true! Every vf-11's leg will fall off! Quick, everyone dismantle your toy and do SOMETHING to fix it now!!!

[Kicker773]

Man the video just cracked me up today.. thank you so much for making me smile (not that I'm laughing at your expense). The slapping the toy around was the icing on the cake. I think i'll hold off on getting a squad

[derex3592]

RELAX GUYS!!!!!!!

Got mine in the mail today. All is well with mine! Nice and tight! NO WORRIES! Great looking bird!

What happened to Renato? My slow-ass antique computer is having trouble with the download.

[Graham]

Just to say both my VF-11C are perfect. I'll likely be picking up a third one next week.

Fantastic toy.

for whatever reason the hip socket won't stay in the upper thigh receptacle. Just falls right out

The left leg keeps falling out. And the ball joint itself is extremely loose.

I tried to take it apart and fix it, but after unscrewing the hip connector part, the two halves of the block still do not come apart, so I'm guessing they're glued on.

I guess it's time to update the old list in my sig. I think I've had my patience tested long enough.

Think of it this way, you weren't meant to have ANY Macross toys (which means 1 more for the rest of us).

Don't say that, it's obvious he's the bad QC sponge, if he wasn't out there soaking up the rejects the one of the rest of us poor schlubs who don't live in Japan might get it.

Glad I'm doing my part as "human shield", as it were. I think I'm not gonna buy any more for a while, though, which may put you guys straight in the firing range. So, apologies in advance.

hehe, yeah...

I've haven't gotten a yamato that was broken/unsalvageabley bad since the 1/60 v.1's, but I seam to have a 50% chance of getting something with loose joints. lucky for me I've never gotten anything that couldn't be fixed with a little clear nail polish.

[Graham]

Sounds like, Alex has infected Renato with whatever strange Valk killer disease he has. Seems like it's highly contagious.

Maybe I should cancel my trip to Japan in April. Don't want to get infected with the dreaded Valk Killer disease.

Graham

[MacrossJunkie]

When I look at the listing it shows as "Sold Out".

Well, the one you linked there is the non-painted VF-1S, but assuming you meant to link the VF-11C, it's possible that people saw that it was in stock and bought out the remaining stock between the time I posted and the time you checked.

Renato's post scares me a bit. I hope mine is at least as problem free as my 11B.

To anyone that has theirs already, I assume Yamato made no changes to that cockpit sliding mechanism? That wobbly cockpit/pod in fighter mode is my biggest gripe with the 11B.

Just remember to get your shots and you won't have anything to worry about

Yeah, as far as I can tell, no design changes in the cockpit. It is still kind of wonky, but the little slider piece on my 11C is tighter and more difficult to slide than my 11B, if that helps you any.

[logos]

Ouch. that's horrible. The worst I ever had was when the nose cone hip hatch on my VF-1D came broken. It still works but I can pull it right out when I want to.

[Arthurius]

this thread needs more pictures!!!!

[Arthurius]

Can anybody post some videos of this toy, the video of the loose feet doesnt count, i cant see it properly, but still, from what i do see, it is more towards the niceness i am looking for, i just feel the pictures are not getting me into it... videos pls!!!!
