31E and briefly a pair of 31As.

No armor pack for VF-31J, C or F?

I got 1 question.....what valk use the armor pack in Macross Delta the movie?...beside Arad VF-31S.

I still recall my unsatisfaction from the VF-19 Advanced, but now I have been blasted by this YF-19. I don't know if they changed anything to the nose to make it look more like a YF-19 than a VF-19, but it overall it looks about perfect to me. This and the good tampos, the stiffness of the Battroid mode, the "smaller" cockpit and legs from Bandai makes this YF-19 to win over the Arcadia version to my eyes.

Sure this YF-19 is over-over engineered (even more than it predecessor VF-19), but it feels like the ultimate Macross transformable collectible to me. Beats easily the VF-31.

I feel the same....This is better than the advance.

Plus...today arrive my second YF-19 from CDJ this time, and no broken antenna. The first one was from HLJ and it came with a broken antenna.

Now waiting for NY.

I have an issue. The left exhaust nozzles are twisted/mis-aligned and the cover fot the twin gun underneath is bent. I heard this is a manufacturing defect.  Anyone else have these issues and any solutions? I already contacted cdjapan and am waiting for their reply. 

Its like that out of the box?....if that the case....I recommend you to transform your valk and give it a good massage when you come back to fighter mode.

If not the case try the new joint for gerwalk mode. 

Amazon.jp dont carry this PO?

I did a quick transformation from F to B and them form B to F just to get a clean look on fighter mode with out all the gappy that it came from the factory. It has very stiff joint and it feel better than the Advance. My only problem is the broken antenna but is a easy fix.

I don’t think the QA issues are a problem with the design, I think the hip problem is an assembly issue, the fin thing is a molding issue, and the head laser thing is a packaging issue. The actual Valkyrie is just fine!

Head laser problem is mix of thing...poor packing from bandai (mine came with the laser straight up) poor packing from the retailer.....and very poor handling from who have too carry our packing.

Time to report; Today I receive my First YF-19 from HLJ....5 days EMS shipping from Japan to Chile thats super fast...and no taxes.

When I checked this is what i found:

1. They put the toy box upside down in the shipping box.

2. They put they usual cardbox proteccion in the front face of the toy box.

3. Broken antenna

After CDJ asked for more shipping money...they hasn't shipped my toy yet.  In shipping process since Thursday.

On the other hand HLJ shipped mine on Saturday....and today land in my country...and I don't have to pay taxes. What a relief.

My third from NY is still on outward offices of exchange in japan.

Did you buy something’s else too?

Double check your order 

No... I did nothing.....just waiting for it.....I checked and now shows the additional shipping cost.

Those additional shipping costs are cheap compared to the extra $80+ I had to pay for imports customs tax. All in all, I spent around $340 for it.

Once I get around to having my 2nd one shipped from HLJ, I’m expecting the import tax to be $100 (due to their higher item and shipping cost).

US folks have it easy not having to deal with import duties.

I really wish I was able to PO these from NY instead...

Am not Us citizen....I live in chile....where I have to pay taxes if custom hold my box.

More salt in the wound .

C'mon....CDJ just charged me 4,000 yens more on shipping...in the beginning  it was 5,000 yens for EMS and I use my rewards point and end it up paying 2,000 but now they want 4,000 more. 

Somebody with the same issue?

Go to their website and check status. I never got confirmation of being charged or anything until shipment notice earlier today. It was shipped 3 days ago according to the tracking info.

My PO on CDJ is in shipping preparation since friday....I use EMS.

HLJ shipped (EMS) mine last friday and NY shipped (SAL) today.

If you think this thing its hard to transform....you have to try the SV-262.

Let's hope it's an isolated unit with QC issues.

There's always some lemons that escape quality 

Esperemos que así sea. 

Small videos on YouTube 

Some out of the box problems on Twitter. 

HLJ just send my shipping notification.

HLJ usually doesn't charge until the official release date, so maybe later tonight or tomorrow they'll snatch up your money. 

IIRC every time I had a PO that is released on saturday (my local time) they charge me the day before (at night).

This is going to sting some, I've got 3 pre-orders at different places. (Ami-Ami, CDJ, HLJ)

Got 3 too....but I pay for 2 of them early (NY and CDJ) now I have to pay just HLJ.

Still up

Got one...thank

Just another day in Japan.

I feel your pain. Here in Argentina we get ass raped, toys pay 50% custom taxes!!!

We pay 30% in Chile. Not always just when they find out.

I think  the first  release  edition (with fancy  stand) will come early. Then the normal release.
