Seeing yet another primer painted model at Comicon has me not holding my breath...

Here's some pics of mine.

Yay! I just got mine delivered today from HLJ.

LOL, it took me awhile to figure out how to get 'Lil stubby legs Isamu into the cockpit. You really have to cram him in there.

HLJ does this sometimes with items that are released on Fridays. I am almost certain that everyone who has the YF-19 preordered with them has this message on their account. Basically, it means "We have the items in stock, but it is Friday so we can not start the shipping process until Monday." They probably do this to keep people from click on the "ship all items in stock & wait for the rest button" over the weekend. How many impatient people do you think would click that option on Saturday if they saw it listed as instock, but NOT in order processing? I'm willing bet a lot of people would.

I've had orders just sit there for a week otherwise. I always have to click on the "ship all orders". What a PITA. This might be the last time I order from HLJ. My MP Starscream took a long time to ship for something that was supposedly in stock.

Anyone's HLJ order ship yet?

I haven't gotten notification yet.

I ordered back when they were listed as shipping in November. Didn't order in time for the Early Bird Special, but I ordered before they listed as shipping in December.

-Ed

Anyone get a shipping notification from HLJ?

I'm still waiting.

-Ed

This could mean the first initial preorders are sold out and december is for their next batch.. (hopeful thinking)

Very wishful thinking.

Hah! Tis but a rumour.

Not a rumor. Check out Hobby Link Japan.

We'll be lucky to get them by Xmas.

For how expensive this toy will be, there is still going to be stickers?

There's not a whole lot of graphics, why isn't Yamato tampo printing?

Anyone archive the videos?

All the video links are dead.

I've preordered my YF-19. I never liked the 1/72 Yamato YF-19. Finally looks like 1/60 will be the ONE.

Now Yamato will need to come out with an accompanying YF-21 and VF-11.
