    Oh you bet, I've had a few minor issues I've had to have dealt with over the years and they've always been good to me. I'm perfectly happy to send them back the 51 legs, but part of me kinda wants to try to put one together a piece at a time :p

    Yes, the 1/60 v2 Yamato. Looking at @tekering 's photos, the 1/60 v2 looks yellow compared to the DX.

    The one in Tekering's photos next to the DX is the Yamato 1/48

    What Shin said. I totally regret buying those Evo Toys VF-2SS's. I sold one for $50 I think....I can't remember. The other two I have left have basically been put back into their boxes. I'm probably gonna throw em out if not take em to an outdoor range for....practice. They're garbage.

    It's not. . The Hi-Metal r ver is much better.

    Lol! It is? I guess the DX is bigger than 1/48 then because they're not the same size definitely. I thought the DX is 1/48 as well hence my mistake.

    That’s just from the perspective of the shots. They are almost exactly the same size. There’s a bunch of comparison photos:


    Bandai DX VF-1 Toys – Scorched Earth Toys

    the DX is slightly taller (1cm) in battroid mode and slightly shorter (5mm) in fighter mode.

    Your first mistake is trusting different manufacturers to be consistent with scale... or give a damn about it at all, really. o_O 

    I've included a Yamato 1:60 here for disambiguation:

    I think "ivory" is more accurate than "yellow."

    Dude, where's your armor?.jpg

    It is shrink wrapped but there was a tear on the plastic. Good thing though the toy box is fine. Had to open it immediately just to be sure. There was a hole on the other side of the shipping box because it was that soaked. Gonna inspect the valk itself.

    Wow, that really sucks! Makes me appreciate my mailman even more. I just looked out my window after seeing this to check for any packages and my mailman happened to be there. He saw me and waved me out. He had two boxes for me in his truck and said he would have brought them back to the office if he didn't see me since it was raining outside.

    Was it raining where you’re at or did they take it in the bath with them?

    He said it got wet from the plane from Kansas. Did they fly with their windows down? Lol! Anyway, everything seems fine so I'll leave it at that.
