Archer Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Ouch, first breakage report on my 1/60 VF-1A Max that I ordered from HLJ. I don't know if I was mistransforming it or something, but one of the hinges that holds the folding cover for the back-pack booster broke, so the cover fell off. Not too big a deal because its covered up somewhere inside during fighter mode, and when transformed, it just kinda sat there under the back - pack, but it still hurts watching a $100 + toy break somewhere Oh wells, at least I didn't break an arm or something, and it was minor.... (it was my 1st transformation back to fighter from battroid btw, though I had to and from gerwalk to fighter multiple times)
Loop Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Ouch, sorry to hear. The only problem I ever had on the ver 2 1/60 VF-1's is that I had a few that I could not get the peg by the intake to disengage easily. Nothing broke though, I just had to work at it slowly and it came loose.

Sure, one of the hinges is gone, but the mechanism can still hold in place with the other hinge (left hinge broke, but right hinge is alright). This means that though it is loose, and can only stay in a full open, or full close position, its fine and can still be used as a part of the toy. Now the only issue i guess, beyond the looseness, would be the unsightly "break mark" where the hinge used to be

My VF-1A Max is one of my absolute favorite valks. I wouldn't be as calm as you if that had happened to me.
Archer Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Yeah, believe me, I was bummed a bit (It was my first yamato valk actually). Dunno, but I was fairly gentle with the thing, and assumed that any amount of overpressure would break it (meaning I was pretty careful when I transformed it), and as I pointed out above, it was my 4th transformation with it. Oh well, like I said, even though it bummed me out a bit, I can live

ron5864 Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Looks like another Macross mecha sale at HLJ. Some prices are pretty darn good.
Old Man Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Arrrgh...even the VF-11C is on sale at 40% off!!! Too bad I picked one up for $40 more 2 weeks ago...but maybe I could use another... Edited April 29, 2011 by Old Man
CF18 Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Good price for the regular version VB-6 Konig Monster
Getsuga Tenshou Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 The VF-11B is only at 20% off. Still too expensive. I don't want to get the 11C cos I already have too many white valks.
