ophio Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Hi guys , my newly Vf-1S Roy Folker shoulder broke off on its first transformation ,and i don't think it can be fixed ... Is there any replacement for sale for the two pieces of broken parts ? Sorry for the bad pic as it was taken from my phone . Quote

barurutor Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 keep the metal pin, you can use it in the shapeways shoulder parts without any fear of breakage. Quote
Mommar Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 That's classic. I should keep that link around too. One of my used 1J's is about to bite the bullet on one arm as well. keep the metal pin, you can use it in the shapeways shoulder parts without any fear of breakage. Even the knurled pins work with the replacement??? Quote
technoblue Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Yes. Skip ahead to 10:52 in the installation video to see how you can modify the knurled pin. I think I'll get a couple of these for my rainbow canopy Yamato Roy. Quote
ophio Posted July 11, 2014 Author Posted July 11, 2014 Thanks guys and Super Senpai for all the replies and guides ,was at a pretty lost when the parts broke .. Thanks barurutor I'm keeping the pin ,i actually tape it onto plastic casing of the toy box afraid i might misplace it . Quote
barurutor Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 PM'ed you ophio if you haven't ordered yet... Quote
robotechdave Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 i bot the shapeways product but the pin doesn't fit...has anyone dealt with this yet? Quote
barurutor Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 you could try to sand down the knurled part of the pin to make it fit in the shapeways shoulder. Quote
robotechdave Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 hi ArchieNov, no it wasn't on the arcadia vf...this was a tv max...and the shapeways replacement holes are so narrow, there's no way to get the pin to fit...(this one isn't knurled one)...so i'm stuck on this for the moment....very disappointed as these toys are so expensive and to have the stupid flimsy shoulder thing break off sucks...especially since i bot it on ebay and the damage wasn't disclosed Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 i bot the shapeways product but the pin doesn't fit...has anyone dealt with this yet? yeah that's common, just file down the pin. it should be fine. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Is it a Arcadia VF-1S that broke or an older Yamato? Quote
ophio Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 Hi ,its the yamato version of the VF-1S that broke . Quote
