MacrossJunkie Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 That 1/72 VF-11B (non-FP version) was a PoS. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a near 100% breakage rate on the hips. It beats out even the cannon fodder 171 on breakage. So is there any mention on a more specific date or time frame that the YF-19 is going to be released now or is it just that it will be released "early"?

xrentonx Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Just got the email from Amiami about this being moved up. I have another one on order with HLJ so my wallet is shittin bricks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye_281 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 If we're looking at an early release, then I'd love to see some final production pics from Mr. K as there must be some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True dat, but I was leaning more toward seeing some close-ups of the pilot/cockpit interior, box art etc etc... the crap we haven't seen yet.

SaitouSad Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 kinda on the fence about whether I should keep my 2nd order with HLJ. I got it at the sweet Black Friday price of 26,568 yen, and I got my 1st one cheaper at Big in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Why don't you want the second one now? I do have to say while I love the way this thing looks I was just playing with the 19F again and Gerwalk is still a pain in the ass plus transformation is not a lot of fun.

SaitouSad Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Why don't you want the second one now? Well to be honest, I initially only wanted one (given the price). But since I had already paid off my Big in Japan order back in October? (they wanted up front payment), that kinda left room for me to acquire a 2nd one (especially since the price was good on HLJ). But would I really need a 2nd one? I suppose I could have 1 in Battoroid mode, and the other in Fighter mode. with all the weapons loadout. The big problem though, is I already have 2 YF-19s (I believe it's the v1s), so I probably have to sell those off first before I even consider the 2nd one... and this being bumped up to March just kinda put me on the fence haha Edited February 20, 2014 by SaitouSad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) the total length of the actual will be "34cm".

I'm thinking I will keep my HLJ pre-order because this version just looks a better than the v1 in all modes, battroid in particular, and thus I will be retiring both of my v1 1/60 YF-19s from my display cabinets once these come in (or at least after I get around to weathering them and such).

Isamu Dyson Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yeah, EVERYBODY's first-mold VF-11 broke. Even sitting MISB it would. VF-0 shoulders have nothing on the early VF-11. Really? Are you referring to the 1/72 or the latest 1/60 VF11? I was under the impression after reading many pages that the 1/60 VF-11B or C was built solid. I got 2 MISB, should I be worried?

You shouldn't be worried about the 1/60's, all three of mine are rock solid. Either they're talking about the 1/72's or these people have no sense of subtlety in movement. Though I do wonder if they're in boxes what's the use in worrying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it at the sweet Black Friday price of 26,568 yen, and I got my 1st one cheaper at Big in Japan. The Black Friday price was awesome. For that price I would say keep it. You can display one in fighter and the other in battroid mode. Should be an easy sell if you want to keep it for a while for that price.

Though I do wonder if they're in boxes what's the use in worrying? Thanks for the reassurance Mommar. I developed a bad habit of keeping one in MISB and the other for display purposes. I just haven't had the chance to open the other one yet as I'm saving money for a huge display set up for all my valks and 1/6 collection. Tough to save with the purchase 2 mentality.

Thanks for the advice. I'd like to think that, though I am of the opinion that Macross stuff don't really sell well around my neck of the woods. Anyway, I'll play it by ear as it goes. I'm preparing a whole list of stuff I need to sell off due to lack of space haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
