Valk sword owner here, I’ve contacted support in 2022 about this with no luck.

I didn’t expect much, so much goes on, they are either too busy, not the right people or careless to fix older catalog items.

Don’t keep your hopes up if you’ve redeemed this toy code.

Bumping because Valkyrie sword was fixed and the first blade of the federation should be fixed as well

Thank you for the clear report and for providing these examples of the grip issues on these classic swords.

The alignment problems you’ve pointed out are a known challenge with many older Gear items. This is part of the broader discussion our team is having about the long-term future of the entire Gear system.

Because we are focused on that potential systemic solution, we will not be patching individual Gear items at this time. We appreciate your passion for these items and thank you for your understanding.
