I believe that may have been @davidwhangchoi who mentioned that with Mr. K(Arcadia designer, formerly of Yamato) on Twitter. Pictures speak more than words, if someone tweets him pics he may respond. This isn't like when Yamato was around when only a few toy companies back then were using Twitter. Now almost all of them do. Hopefully he does respond if he sees pics, but support will be very limited outside of Japan. I would love to know how this Max release is doing in Japan from our Japanese comrades.
I’ll check again when I’m back from work later today, earthquke this morning knocked a lot of my stuff down from my computer shelf (Max and everything else seems ok).
that was actually @Sup3hobo and a few others including @anubis20 chimed in for the vf-0A broken leg. i had the canopy issue where scratches were from the 0A's pins inside the heat shield. it was scratched really bad. i used some toothpaste and got out the scratches.
Yup, I had to use some broken-ass Japanese to get my message across to Mr.K about the horrid VF-0A hips. And bam the VF-0S is released and zero hip issues. So sometimes you just have to bring up these issues to Arcadia and maybe they'll do something about it......for the next release.
i tried to teach anubis20 to get out the scratches on your damaged 0A canopy using the same method, not sure if he got it all out, but i think it worked for the majority of it. edit: i used this paste as an abrasive and polishing compound. and used this as a reference:
Just an update from Amazon Japan. They had no spare units and the best they could do is a return/ refund. They also offered to cover DHL return shipping due to this. I'm going to decline returning it as I can live with it and really want to compete the pair. Also don't want to risk getting another one that might be worse than this one I have already.
Definitely understandable. If the hardpoints are just glued in, once removed, filing a bit down the middle should give it the clearance for the missle pylons to hook into them. That's part of the problem, they won't fix things before a current release hits production, it's always for the next release. With Max they dropped the ball given they just recently retooled the VF-1J for Milia's release. THANK GOODNESS. I was worried I would be going through "NOT THIS SHI* AGAIN!" Be safe out there man Wonder anyone tweeted pics of the Max issues to Mr. K yet
Shit...I just got my Max in today to go with Millia. Gonna open it after work...but damn. Hope mine don't have issues.
hey, nice to see you on! Happy New year! SHin, did you get your in mail or still on the way? i'm curious how yours and Dark Seeker's turn out.
Maybe I should tweet Mr.K again on twitter so he can point me to customer service and blame it on user error.
Haven't yet but should soon, I'll definitely post my overview here. If he sees a burst of photos I think he'll realize it's not user error.
I really don't want to hear this. I've been wanting the Max 1J for a long time. I don't want mine to have issues. It's still in sitting at HLJ. I suppose I should ship it. :-(
LOL well I recommend everyone who does have issues, lets team up and just hit up Arcadia and Mr.K's twitter all at once to bring it to their attention.
I don't have Twitter, but I'd be more than happy to take pics that you can use if I have issues with mine.
Today I was able to fix a glob of white paint on the underside of the wing with some fine grade sandpaper and once again the help of the mighty plastic eraser.
