spanner Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 3 sets available in jungle : http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/?page_id=116&do=detail&id=101000025933 they can still command good money eh! I'd say a "sealed" rated example would definitely bump up into the 40k price point. Those have been up for a short while now. I was originally dead set on getting an Arcadia YF-19 when I first decided to get into collecting about a year ago, but after getting the Bandai VF-19 Advance, I have now almost completely lost all interest (especially at these prices still). I know the VF-19 isn't the YF-19 and it's a Frontier valk, SMS etc. etc.... But regardless it has more than satisfied my Isamu 19 itch. Am I the only one? Or do others feel the same way? For those that don't, is the Arcadia really still worth the pick-up when considering the cost? I have both the Arcadia & Bandai and I love them equally! I couldn't imagine just having one or the other as each have their own qualities which set them apart. So personally yes I do think its worth picking up the Arcadia also.

aaajin Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Short answer = yes. Depends on your preferences though. I like the beefier, 90's battroid looks, so its a no brainer its Arcadia's for me. Plus Bandai's spam tampo displeases my eyes (j/k) They should donate one of their tampo machines to the needy (hint) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the differences really sets them apart, but the price of the Arcadia (especially now on the secondary market) is such a big barrier. I guess I'll keep hunting and hopefully come across a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still commanding good amount of money. I'm just glad I bought it during MSRP. Lucky to have two. Those have been up for a short while now. I was originally dead set on getting an Arcadia YF-19 when I first decided to get into collecting about a year ago, but after getting the Bandai VF-19 Advance, I have now almost completely lost all interest (especially at these prices still).

For those that don't, is the Arcadia really still worth the pick-up when considering the cost? I love my Arcadia one more than my Bandai one, even though Bandai has great transformation gimik and more articulated. But for me, Arcadia one is more collectible looking and more bulkier looking in Battroid mode, even though it has some QC flaws in it. And is it worth the price? I think it is. That release is kinda limited compared to their new releases nowadays. So price really goes up if you miss the MSRP window before. they can still command good money eh! I'd say a "sealed" rated example would definitely bump up into the 40k price point. I have both the Arcadia & Bandai and I love them equally! I couldn't imagine just having one or the other as each have their own qualities which set them apart. So personally yes I do think its worth picking up the Arcadia also. True and true. And having an Arcadia one now makes you hope that atleast you already have their YF-19 just in case they decided to revisit the YF-21 in the future. Short answer = yes. Depends on your preferences though. I like the beefier, 90's battroid looks, so its a no brainer its Arcadia's for me. Plus Bandai's spam tampo displeases my eyes (j/k) They should donate one of their tampo machines to the needy (hint) I agree esp the Tampo Machines.

no3Ljm Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Here are the closer photos of my completed weathered and stickered YF-19. Nice weathering eggy99. Not too much and not too little. I always wonder regarding that 'New Edwars'. Is it really New Edwars or New Edwards? I remember watching this in sub and dub and they always use 'Edwards'.

Is it really New Edwars or New Edwards? I remember watching this in sub and dub and they always use 'Edwards'. Engrish at its best/worst. It's always been New Edwards. The Macross Plus bluray release includes a booklet specifically about Edwards AFB, and how New Edwards is based on it. I'm pretty sure Hasegawa got it right on their markings, but not every company has that kind of experience with US aircraft and markings.

Good thing the one that I did for my YF-19 is New Edwards. Even 'Edwars' is the official one, 'Edwards' sounds better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggy99 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Glad you guys like it. As much hard work it is along with the grumbling about the stickers etc I really do enjoy the process and I'm slowly improving my skills. The end results makes a big difference displayed. Very nerve racking when first going at it with the weathering markers. I'm never 100% sure it'll look the way I've envisioned it in my imagination/expectations based on other people's work. Hope when my son is older (he just turned 2 on weekend passed) he will take an interest in this hobby and we can work on models together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) I can definitely vouch for that as a fun thing to do, I grew up building models with my dad from a very early age (4 I think). Just make sure to pick out a few cheap kits to let them learn on. Snap-tite kits were a fairly new thing when I started, so I started out just fitting parts and rubber banding things together, but it's much easier now with all the kid-themed kits.

no3Ljm Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 If it's just a reissue... I'll pass. If it's a modified version... I might buy. If it's a modified version with Advanced and Fast Packs... I'll buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) I probably won't buy more unless there's some significant changes to the wing mechanism. That's really the only issue I have with my current ones. Maybe they'll do a simplified version with just the fast packs instead of the massive missile load?

abbadon Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Do reissues need reshooting? I don't know. That's why I'm asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I don't know. That's why I'm asking. I guess that its possible they are trying to cut demand and cement market position ahead of bandai's yf-19. A re-issue would help catch those who missed out and leave less demand for something which hasnt been teased more as yet. They may also have word bandai is soon to provide more info on the yf-19. However i dont thk you will need a re-shoot if you are re-issuing something which wasnt too long ago released. Or perhaps they are re-releasing an updated...........box.

eggy99 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 @eggy99: How did I miss this? A little late, but fantastic job on the YF-19! Thanks. I'm glad I didn't mess it up, because I was a little worried about going too much since it is a light coloured valk. Maybe because they know Bandai will announce their YF-19 soon. They want to try and steal their thunder with a re-release at lower price point (remove all the missiles and accessories except the FAST packs). They should re-release with the arm cannons. How many would double/triple/quadruple dip if the arm cannon was included? I'm happy with my single YF-19 and VF-19 Adv (I actually sold my 2nd YF-19).

Silverstreak Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Maybe there's a YF-21 about to be put next to it.... Well, considering I just tracked down and bought a Yamato 21, you're most likely on the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro2k6 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I got one the first time....and I always regrets no getting a second or a third... with the VF-19 Advance I didn't make the same mistake and got 2. If they reissue this I will get 1 or 2 for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
