Yes, I am still wondering about this as well. I'd like to hear the opinion of someone who is an "ankle skeptic" like myself.

Actually, one of them you sold had it's arm randomly crumble last week...

In those photos the new 19 looks pretty damn good next to the 11B and 21. Also, I can't wait for some of our other members to get theirs so they'll take some decent pictures from different, dynamic angles instead of all of these useless 2/3 top-down pics we keep getting.

Didn't somebody on this messageboard rub the marking off of their VF-4? It's a bit odd, I guess they just print it in black and don't think about how it works. The VF-19S and F both have it in black but on the blue you can barely see it. The VF-17S and D both have it in black and it's practically invisible being black on black. The VF-19P and VF-4G it sticks out like a sore thumb because it's black on a very light color. Why not print it in the same color a shade lighter then the surface it will be applied to? That way it's there but hardly shows up at all.

They don't have those parts on the VF-19 either. But I was still speculating they couldn't have those indents for the same reason, the collapsing of the wing into the root is too tight plus it would show through the wing if they were clear.

He's joking because it's colored gold in the photo.

Except I pointed out those indents were there back when we originally were discussing the Frontier-style Fast packs months ago. They're on the top and bottom of the wing roots.

I don't recall that. I only recall people didn't like the shade of tan used and they were going to fix that. I didn't realize it meant completely changing the color of the gun pod.

That it would be grey?

But while everyone complained that the color of the plane/canopy/etc were all not accurate they decided to change the color of the gunpod to be not accurate. I see what you did there Kanedas... it wasn't advertised as having a grey gunpod when the tan one looked excellent.

You're right, they changed the gunpod to grey. That sucks too.

They really lightened up that canopy. What a bummer. It looked so much better with that highly tinted one.

I don't understand this race to the bottom competition people have with how much they paid for this thing? I've got one in the mail, that's all I need.

There were official photos that show the missiles mounted on the VF-1. Short answer, yes.

It doesn't "require" it but can be used.

Kind of an insult including holders for Fold Boosters one might not own or have any way to access.

Dunno. Was listed as being the same month as the SDF-1 book but that's obviously not true now. I'd be surprised if they released two Macross books that close together.

I thought it was only one year for this one? I must've miss-read.

I wonder how long it will be before somebody in Japan puts up a first review.

It was 4,140 from Amiami so you really aren't paying much higher.

I got my invoice from Amiami at 3 am this morning. It says when they're open again they'll perform the processing. They aren't closed all weekend are they? I hadn't considered that Japan is already into tomorrow by now. They don't have a FedEx option so I had to go with EMS... dammit, I hate the postal service in this town too.

Oh, yeah, that makes more sense. You're right. The old one had terrible articiulation.

That same pose could be done with any of the VF-19's as well.

Come on Amiami, I want to pay and ship this thing as soon as possible.

They never specified but given that the previous three Arcadia releases came with water slide decals it's a pretty good bet this will too.
