I'm thinking about picking up one of those 1/100 Toynami sets....they're very affordable as I'm sure you all know, and will give me the perfect opportunity to see if I will actually "like" them to buy more.
They look great in robot mode and for the price, come with a ton of accessories. However they are fragile in some areas, specifically the sockets that the pegs plug into, such as at the bicep swivel, and shoulder/body hinge. Sometimes a breakage in the bicep swivel socket is not noticeable, but on my VF-1J Max type, it's gotten worse, so the upper arm falls out easily. The shoulder hinge is an area I didn't think would break, but it's already cracked, only tension holds the sides of it together now. This shocked me as the VF-1J wave(2) was known for being much tighter and more durable overall compared to wave 1. I remember when I first got these and likened them to 1/144 scale Gundam model kits, both in size and construction. They are similar but just think of these toys as more durable, though still fragile in certain areas.

The FAST packs make the toy look great, especially battroid mode.
