I have the original MMM Launcher / Sword Strike deactive color version. It has started to yellow (can't really tell on the light blue grey plastic, but it's really noticeable on the skygrasper). Recently, the shoulder cups which holds the arm joints disintegrated for no reason at all

^ I don't think there are plug and play replacement parts available. I plan to fix it with polycap joint cups from unbuild kits, but I have to drill the metal shoulder assembly to provide holes to lock these custom cups in place. I don't really know whether it would be a successful repair or not.

I've done it successfully to Lego, but as Gundams are painted, they might remove the paint too.
