Mine keep popping out. I can either have one locked in all the way or the other, but when I try to push both in they eventually pop back out. Is it ok, if I answer this? I know I still don't have my Kairos. However, I have some VF-31's too. I just remember something about that specific spot. The pelvic joint area lay rest under the neck plate area. Try to massage that part first esp the folding collar thing if it's not hindering or something underneath. Or the neck plate is not flat as it should be causing a bump or recess on the pelvic part area causing the intakes not to lock properly. The pelvic joint really need to lay flat as possible towards the neck plate area. Let me know. Edited April 3, 2018 by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never run into this issue on any of my VF-31's, including the Kairos. Have you double checked the transformation and alignment of the other parts close to that area?

Sildani Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Ditto on my C. I will say that if anything wasn’t properly aligned or tabbed into place earlier in the transformation sequence, it’ll affect the fit of the later parts. The tolerances on the 31 design are super close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajnrig Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Just sent Mykombini an email asking if they could provide any insight on whether Bandai is gearing up a second production run or not, and whether they would be taking orders again if so. It's a long shot, but it's not as if I have anything to lose from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can either have one locked in all the way or the other, but when I try to push both in they eventually pop back out. considering I haven't transformed any of these three as yet, I can't comment on it but as Noel and Sildani mentioned below, I have only had a minor issue with my 31c.. but it didn't hinder transforming it to Gerwalk where is currently sits. 36 minutes ago, no3Ljm said: Is it ok, if I answer this?

Syngyne Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I thought I got all the neck bits squared away, but that makes sense as to what might cause this. I’ll check again. Thanks, all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell they are all perfect with no visible or obvious defects. Thoroughly impressed with them! Loving the clear canopy! Would love to switch their modes for display but it's getting late and I need sleep. Here's a photo to enjoy! congrats spanner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I would go to Paypal if they couldn't give me a reliable response through one of their customer service reps on the chat window, so she suggested to open a ticket. I had one open already and replied with a follow up, but their reply to the ticket said nothing really other than they're 'awaiting their stock and my order will be sent as soon as possible'. Just a pointer back to their initial response. Seeing as others who ordered on 10/6 are getting their orderes processed I could hold out till tomorrow since the Paypal dispute allows me to claim by April the 4th.

I tried live chat for the hell of it and straightaway they asked me to open a ticket saying live chat staff couldn't check inventory and what's available on the site is what's available. What's the point of live chat then? Surely people would want to ask them about orders and items they have for sale. Likewise, I'll do Paypal dispute tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that N-Y is ruining it for ya. Maybe consider taking up slaveiv's offer b4 pulling the trigger. The risk is there if N-Y doesnt refund you, but to each their own in evaluating risks i suppose. Edited April 4, 2018 by seti88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
