I got the the same problem too on my DX VF-25G. I think a layer of super glue will fix the problem. Will try out later.

I think i have no luck on Macross toys.

Look at the photos below, the chest protection part somehow a bit too tight to fit into my 25-G chest and it's broken. (i just started playing this toy)
However, this problem does not exist in my 25-F. I think super glue supplier is getting rich already. Ozma armored probably is my last toy on Macross. No doubt that the toy design looks great...but....

ayo.. kacian for u. i also have bad luck with my first alpha fighter..

wow....macross really look great for display, thinking of get one, but still kinda pricey for me... and looks like kinda fragile as mention above....

STILL, IT DOES LOOK SO AWESOME

It is very tempting bro.... otherwise i wont be so forgetful/ forgiveness and have decided to buy the armored version.
Maybe I'm too use with the Transformers toy (you can drop few times on the floor but still look fine), therefore not get use to it.

feel sorry for ya wesleyong, must've been heartbreaking. perhaps do a kitbash of it now and do a battledamage version of it?

Yes same song......also Ranka's Ai Oboeteimasuka when she became "evil" sung by Lynn Minmay in DYRL?


Oh and good news. My VF-11B in KL today! Hopefully got time to pick it up later.

that's really scary.... it's just like macross zero broken shoulder... by right there shouldnt be any problem with the parts consider the price we pay for....

shoot... i havent order my fast pack for DX VF-25F.... think it's gonna be very hard to find it.... just like 1/48 s&s parts....

Not too bad la.. at least it is not obvious. Luckily super glue can create some miracle.

guess we have to be careful although we are robust in playing

Hi Wesley, sorry for the late reply. I am getting the DX super parts for RM350 or less. The seller would let me know once it arrives.

really?! dang I love you, Ranka Lee

is there any review for VF-11B yet?

Some ppl have given 1s impressions. Seems there is a problem with loose heatshields dropping down to undeployed mode in battroid mode.

Hi Guys,

Can some of you whom have already built the 1/72 Alto Custom give me a hand with mine? I can't get the arms to fold back properly for Fighter mode! To slot into the connector at the back, the shoulders end up so far forward that the waist joint can no longer clip in. Even after dismantling chunks of it I still can't figure out what is wrong...

Hhheeelllpppp


Pic of top, is the head tucked in correctly?


This is what the shoulder looks like when the forearm is connected to the clip at the back (I removed the arm from the joint)


Here you can see the tucked in head and waist joint. I've already check the neck plate, it can't go any forward.

potential prob of the VF-11B. The lower heatshield won't stay in place and lock so it slides down.

There something wrong in the pic description. If you click the link, they put VF1A stealth type with Super parts pic instead of VF19 pic.

Do the arms lock into place properly? There's a tab under the back plate that the arms can kinda 'click' into. Also, you did lock the two separate parts of the waist tightly together right?

That's the problem. If I secure the arms to the tab, the shoulders are so forward that I can't lock the waist (see the middle pic). There isn't enough space to close it. The waist hits the shoulders...

MY RVF-25 is the only one of my 4 kits that even has the slightest hint of that problem (waist and shoulders not fitting in fighter mode), but a bit of adjustment and I can transform it. I'm pretty sure they can't screw up an injection kit so badly, since its all from the same mold, which leaves the possibility that you've built a part wrongly (not trying to be rude here).

Would really love to help, but without seeing the actual thing, I can't really tell.
