Ya I think I may just get one or another. I only have so much disposable income that has to be spent between super robots, macross, and transformers. The VF-17 and 19 are the only non DYRL/1982 TV series/Frontier valks that have my interest, as I'm not a Macross 7 fan. However, they are both different enough but yet good looking in its own way that warrants a purchase in my book. So far, one vote for each of them. More input is welcomed. I enjoy figuring out the transformation for the first time, and then after that it's about shelf presence. Which one is more imposing on the shelf? The 19S has the awesome blue while the 17 has size (and I love the matte graphite).

on the fence, should I get this or the VF-19S? It'll be my first Macross 7 valk.

I just paid for mine at Hobbysearch. It's my first time ordering from them. Does anybody have experience with hobbysearch and with their customer service?

I think the 2nd release also has the updated hip connection, or v.2.1 per jenius's notation. So far so good. I'm not complaining!
