Godzilla Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 OMFG. I miss checking this site for a day. HOLY CRAP! Good thing I only have very few 1/72. Color me unimpressed with the 1/72 line. Looks like I need to sell mine. As for this macross habit, I think I will get 4. No need to get into an arms race with Kensei. I really need to cut back.

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I hope we get a YF-21 and VF-11 in this scale. And I agree with Dobber too, bring on the SV-51!!! Hey and VF-0D. BTw this beats the crap out of the very first YF-19 toy they did some years back. Remember way back when we thought that thing was pure gold? LOL!!!

And after Ibought the VF-19A, I felt it should have had more locking mechanisms and tighter ratchets. For something that heavy it should have been more secure. But at that time I was like "OMG this looks WAY better and more accurate than my bandai fire valk!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baronv Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 So since the 1/60 is coming out I would be more than happy to buy anyone's 1/72 YF-19 for the amazing price of $20 since it will become obsolete shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort Max Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Amazing news, there have allready been so many fantastic toys this year with more to come and now this, the one we've all been waiting so long for... Who knows what else is on the horizon. The cad drawings are looking good, the gunpod is a little thin but surely that would be easy enough to change.

Awacs Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Just catching up with this thread - saw it when it was just two posts in (what was for me) the morning just before I went to work, looked at the picture and thought "Nah, that can't be what I think it is. The universe isn't that kind to me", and thought no more of it. I come home this evening to find out that it is in fact what I thought it was, and apparently the universe and Yamato are that kind! Time to start saving now me'thinks As someone who missed out on the 1/72nd version this one is very, very welcome news. Not too worried whether or not it comes with FAST packs or not - just being able to get a -19 to be CAG Bird for my small collection of Macross toys is good news enough. I wonder which colour scheme they'll release it in - I would assume they'd use the Plus colours, but they could always surprise me by releasing it in the VF-X colour scheme (Heck, they'll probably release it in both - and a non-canon scheme as well at some point.... low-viz -19 would be nice). Doubt we'd see a -Kai though, I seem to remember someone mentioning something about Yamato not having the Mac 7 licence, which would seem to militate against it. Wonder if there's any chance of a 1/60th Thunderbolt to go along with it at some point. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Finally, after all these years of waiting, a bigger and better fully transformable YF-19 toy! Yamato never ceases to amaze me. Now only if Bandai could get off its ass and reissue the 1/55 Strike, Elintseeker and Super Ostrich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striderhiryu Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 yessssssss..... yessssssss..... there trutly is a god, he loves me.... truly good things happen to BAD people.... i have not been on this site for like 3 weeks and the i come to see what's up and i see this... it really made my day. as for the design having owned the VF-19A and the hasegawa model you can really tell how far they have come with the design. i really dont care if it looks more robust on the side view since as one member already said the YF-19 was originally made as cell animation and there is a lot of proportion changes in the animation even when they show it in fighter mode. in my opinion this is the way the YF-19 would really look if it was made in CG with realistic physics and not with anime-magic. as for the design i hope they include a rotating seat, only that i would rotate in a way that the pilot faces the screen disp´lays that are located in the cockpit's floor, tough i don't know if this is cannon since i have never seen how the pilot's seat stands in battroid mode. As for the price i think due to the complex design it will be more expensive than the VF-0, maybe around 180 dollars per unit. another thing, i hope they make the lower legs able to open to display the long range missiles like in ep.4 during the dog fight. hopefully with the experience that yamato will gain with this design they will be able to start designing the Sv-51 wich in my opinion is the most difficult one due to the very samll parts ijvolved with the transformations, specially with the fatige in such critical areas like the wing root and the parts that connect the legs with the rest of the body.

Nightbat Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I always said they should keep the 1/60 line alive for the things impossible in 1/48 Good news indeed, though I do not want a 19 or 21, this means there's a break between VF1 releases to get this baby out my wallet's letting out a sigh of relief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
