Im thinking of getting this but have read some reviews of some Yamatos Valks with a cracked shoulder hinge.
My question is... Has this been fixed with this release?

The following are known to have smooth pins(aka fixed hinges):
The VF-1J Hikaru Super Valkyrie pictured above might be fixed if you get a later run version, IIRC I think someone DID have one with smooth pins from a restock. Not sure. I know for sure at least a few fans have the stand alone VF-1J Hikaru with smooth pins.

Thanks for the info Shin! This is very helpful.
This will be my first Yamato Valk and I don't want to deal with much problems. The reason I'm going with this Valk is because BBTS has him in stock not much else, and I won a giveaway $100 from BBTS from another forum.

$159.99. I know its more than some sites and maybe e-bay but I would only be paying $60-$70 shipped out my own money.
The VF-1D (127.99) also looks tempting plus cost less. Im still debating wether or not to get this here or wait and just get something complety different.

The much talked about shoulder issue: does anyone have a picture of he pins both on and off the toy? Could people who buy the ones with bad pins "fix" the issue themselves. I have a few valks fom the v2 line with very limited numbers if tranformations (0-2 so far) so I haven't had an issue yet, but if we have bad pins are we doomed to have failure or can we do something about it?

I have the stand alone vf-1s Roy and hikaru versions, a hikaru stand alone vf-1j, and and the vt102 vf-1d. Theoretically I could have all bad pins or 2 bad and 2 fixed as the 1d seems to have fixed pins and some 1j were rumored o be better. I'll take a look when I get home later tonight to see if I can actually see the pin and see if it's removable or not Last edited by mechapilot77; 03-02-2010 at 11:35 AM.. |

i must have the worst eyes ever....i can hardly tell if its nurled or not from the tip. so i am pretty sure the two 1S are nurled, not sure about the 1J and the 1D appears not to be.
