I could see this coming long ago.
This is just how Takara operates, and why they, in my opinion make better toys than even Yamato, Bandai, and Toynami.
I have examples of each company on my shelf...except Toynami, but I have not heard good things about them. Yamato's 1/60 VF-1J with FAST packs, for example is made of the crappiest plastic imaginable...and don't get me started on the legs FALLING OFF A 6,000 Yen FIGURE! lol
I compare this to Bandai's reissue of the VF-1S Super Valk, the original, and it is sublime. Sturdy, feels like a tank.
Such is the case with most of Takara's work. My God Ginrai C-310 reissue is also, built like a tank.
But Hasbro's not so bad until you pay nearly $100 for a valk from yamato that spontaneously dissassembles itself.
Then tell me how bad Hasbro's QC is. lol
