Chronocidal Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Yuuuuuup. Though, the whole foot is actually too thick. It looks mostly fine in battroid, but the center of the foot is too high, and it throws the whole thing off. Also, those are older photos, from before Bandai went and photoshopped the correct colors on the lower leg fins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS007 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I wonder if there are enough players of Macross VF-X2 to get Bandai to do a DX Chōgōkin of the VF-19A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Random Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Just transformed my VF-19 to fighter mode mode with the fast packs for the first time. What a pain in the patokee! Took me forever to get everything to come together on the legs. It was worth it since it looks great now that I have it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 My arcadia YF-19 is the same way, fighter mode with all the fast pack stuff is a bit of a PITA to get lined up and locked in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true in a way. But atleast Arcadia doesn’t have an exposed tab when the Fast Packs are installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% disagree with this. The Bandai one was all around more frustrating. I won't transform that that VF-19 out of fighter mode because there's no way I'm going to wrestle with all of that again.

Shrug On the Bandai everything clipped on solidly, with the Arcadia I had bits constantly falling off while I was trying to get the legs lined up and pegged in. Which is odd, since the Arcadia I got new, and the Bandai I got used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajnrig Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I forget, did the Arcadia have magnetic leg Supers? Or was that the Yamato? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 "Bandai" and "clipped on solidly" are two phrases I would rarely put together when talking about valkyrie toys. The Bandai VF-19 has the honor of being the only valk I've ever wanted to hurl at the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zx31 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I find transforming both the Arcadia and Bandai 19s highly enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bandai problem was that the process for actually attaching the leg fast packs was multi-step, and you kind of had to slip the pieces in during transformation, or the legs didn't fit right. Also, the booster packs on the wings had a very common issue where the locking tabs got mis-molded, and had to be reshaped before they would keep the packs locked on.

What I had to do was trim down the blocky tabs on the boosters and make them square again, give them hard edges. Mine looked like they'd been melted.

mickyg Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Same here. I think it was a common issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Random Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I did have a hard time trying to get the locking tabs to snap in for the wing boosters. I figured it was an alignment issue. I guess I need to take a look and see if I need to tweak them. I never cared much for the fast packs on the YF-19, but I immediately loved the addition of those wing boosters for Frontier.

zzj Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Recently I transformed my vf-19 advance a few times and can’t help but feel that i’d Be disappointed if the yf-19 didn’t feature more improvements, especially the hip joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Yeah. The 31 is such a sweet piece and a joy to pose, that ALL future DX VF toys need ratcheted hips. And reissued Valkyries need to have them retrofitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkham Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 31 legs are a bit flaky imo, they seem to spread on their own weight. SV262 is just a pleasure to pose (once you can transform it, that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't opened my Kai yet so not sure about that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanity is Optional Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I think you may be SOL, unless you can find an ebay or proxy seller. You should have a chance to pick it up online at release though, if you're online at the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 If it's anything like the 31 releases, there will probably be some for sale upon release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep an eye on this topic, I imagine people will be posting when it shows up available. Otherwise, you can use a web monitor like Distill to alert you when it's available.

eggy99 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 just a heads up, with the recent PO announcement of the DX VF-1J, if I can secure 2 to 3 POs, I will be cancelling my PO for my DX YF-19 at HLJ, but if there are any Australian collectors who still need to secure a preorder, I can hold on to it and have it shipped directly to you. NOTE: I can't ship HLJ items to countries other than Australia. I'll post in the for sale section if I am successful at securing my POs.
