    Looks like both Bandai DX and Yamato didn't remove this for the delimiter mode.

     

    Atleast with the Bandai HG kit, it is. ;)

    I daresay it will. It has an advantage of not being prone to obvious yellowing, something we can’t say for another mini-grail the YF-30 Kronos. 

    Yeah you are right, that 262 color scheme sure has its advantages. 

    You know that first hand unboxing feeling? I dare say the 262 took my breath away first time unboxing it, more than any other valk.
    More so than even a fully tampo-ed VF-1 DX.

    Those sharp gold lines, the deep blue with the windermere insignia's (especially on the cockpit cover!). One of kawamori-san's design masterpieces IMO.

    Maybe just for the people who have them from the YF-19 full-set pack, maybe because they'll release a booster set separately.

    Hmmm 'fold booster strut front and back' included.

    This is a bit of a tell and am speculating here. It means any future fold booster will not be singularly marketed just for, or to include for the YF-21. It will be for YF-19 only, which means the fold booster will be released together with the other YF-19 parts, minimally the Fast Packs. The fold booster can then obviously be used for the YF-21.

    The bad news is if you want to have 2 fold boosters, one each for YF-19 and YF-21, you have to buy 2 sets of YF-19 add-on & parts. Is Bandai really gonna pull off this d*ck move? 

    From missed ghost add-on's for the first HMR 0S release, sealed and then transparent Fast Packs for the VF-1, even the old missing VF-31 supers for arad/chuck/31A.

    Bandai got too greedy trying to nickel and dime everything, and ended up missing important elements due to limited release slots per year.

    For goodness sake bandai, include the damm booster in the YF-21 and quit trying to micro release everything....its not as if macross has that many release slots in a year...

    :crazy::unknw:

    Fold booster front and back struts seem like news though.

    The not so perfect transformation between landing gears and fast pack gunpods has been irking me, and seeing it super extra+ confirmed in new big text is even more oof lol

    Back from the holidays and whoa... is a fold booster going to be included?

    why mention struts and not the fold booster?

    Oh come on!!
    I want to see how this Egg Yolk DX v.2 19 is packaged properly, not the dissected version of the clamshell opened up in this video and how are the tolerances for this re-release.

    Not much changes to the blister packaging? No reported cases of damaged head lasers for the latest releases but its early days...

    i think this new release being only 2 layers of blisters reduced pressure and avoided untoward incidents to the head laser...

    Woah won the lottery on hobby search for this. Must have very little applicants for me to win it. Now to decide to proceed or not. Already have an unopened full set pack. Only worry for that is a potential broken antenna. Was an extra antenna provided in the full set pack?

    Congratz! Well ur lottery would be the cheapest MSRP...at this point in time the new 19 release is clearly averaging abv 28000k yen...

    The FS pack had no extra antenna...

    I sold my duplicates of VF-19 Advance & YF-19 FS, but seeing the buzz & videos of this release makes me want to pick up this release lol..


    Coincidentally, I was trawling through early pages of Arcadia's YF-19 tread, and all the excitement & chatter back 10 years ago make me realize how Arcadia was such a trailblazer on YF-19's design, and how much of it was carried over to the DX VF-19 Advance and now the DX YF-19. Of particular historical interest is the implementation of the high-speed mode wings, and although may not lock properly on some copies (I personally have no issues on both my Arcadia & DX), the solution deployed was pretty innovative and somewhat outside of anyone's best guesstimate at that time.   

    Iteration on iteration, perfection in motion...:good:

    That's disappointing. I already have 3 copies of the full set. There is no additional incentive to get this. 

    what the heck did i just do...i pulled the trigger for one!8P 

    uhh 3 FS +1 non-FS 19's now...the most i ever had for 1 single valk....

    Wow the eggs come with radiation :crazy: 

    I wonder if there's a way to attach it to the Arcadia SDF-1 PF ARMD, and do ARMD punch in blacklight lol

    i must admit the blacklight sort of sold it for me....😂 that and the un-notched tailfin, which heh i guess is more stable...

    Am gonna have the new release in fighter mode...so that the tailfins dont bother me, and then pass the new punch effects to ye old YF-19😂

    man its been a long long time since i encountered an OCD breakdown....:crazy::help::vava:

    please excuse me while i massage my wallet....:vava:

    Can't unsee the comically tiny feet on the Yamato now... ;)

    Will the DX version still have an exposed cockpit "bubble" in battroid?

    TBH, I can't recall if it remains exposed in the anime or lineart?

    It just doest look "right" to me as a clear glass bubble...

    If only those yamato feet had add on yeezy slides to make em bigger!

    bandai's torso does seem to have a bit of a slant, doesnt look flush to the back spine somehow....the nose isnt fully pointing downward compared to the yamato..

    This next release of the 19 will not have the forearm cannon attachment.

    Nin-nin is surprisingly the cheapest this time, and by quite a fair margin. Tyring them out for the very first time, despite some not too good feedback from others. If anything goes wrong, there should be no problem picking up another copy elsewhere on release.

    How much are their shipping usually? Sometimes product is cheap but shipping is expensive..haven’t tried them before so maybe their shipping is indeed cheap too..
