    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    I want to transform my YF-19 from jet to battroid mode but is it best to first transform it to gerwalk then battroid? Some YT vids and instruction booklet only have gerwalk to battroid, not jet to battroid.

    Thank you.

    No. Actually for me, it's easy to transform directly from Fighter to Battroid. Because you don't need to line it back the legs nor lock the tabs on the chest area. The moment you unlock all of the tabs and whatnot in Fighter mode, transform it directly to Battroid.

    Ha so classy :) I have to check if the DX Isamu can fit the bike, because when I quickly checked, he had the legs joined together and I am not sure if they would prevent to sit flush or not.

    The more reason not to sell the Arcadia YF-19. ;)

    You might as well wait for the upcoming preorder for the one that does not include the "special display-stand" if you want the preorder-discount pricing. The PO for that item has not been announced as of yet.

    If so, would I preorder another one again without the 'special display stand' knowing that this one is cheaper than their standard DX Valks? Hmmm. :rolleyes:

    What's the poll on other members about that? Are you guys going to PO again? ^_^

    This kit is going to be fully painted? All I have to do is assemble and apply stickers? Seems price is cheap for what you are getting if that is true.

    Just making sure 

    This has already been discussed in the existing thread as mentioned above. :rolleyes:

    Also, it's not 'fully painted' per se. This is what it says on the Good Smile Company website: https://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/7226/PLAMAX+MF+25+minimum+factory+VF+1+Super+Strike+Gerwalk+Valkyrie.html

    The figure seated in the cockpit, wearing Roy Focker's suit, features the high quality sculpting and colors you've come to expect from the minimum factory series, almost like a completed figure. You can choose between A, J, or S types for the head portion protruding from the fuselage, and large stickers are included to recreate Roy Focker and Hikaru Ichijou's fighter. The parts come pre-fabricated in 5 different colors, so you can have a finished looking model just by assembling the pieces and affixing stickers.

    The plastic is pre-colored already but not fully painted. It's like Gunpla. There's 2 option on how to build it. Build it straight out of the box and just apply stickers. Or you can paint it individually, decal it, panel line it, etc. 

    For more of the discussion, just head out to the original thread. Maybe all of your questions has already been answered there. ;)

    hmm.

    how about the features/stuff that we all saw with the VF-1D/VF-1J/VF-1S in the old TV anime...

    -- integrated rotating and elevating pilot-seat that can pop out the back of the head when in battroid instead of an add-on like in the 1/60v2. The 1/60 Zero, VF-19 and VF-22 valks have some limited rotating seats done already, tho not elevating.

    -- actual swiveling/turning front landing gear.

    -- spring-loaded firing missiles.

    -- integrated side covers.

    -- integrated collapsible fixing toolkit on the arm.

    -- better looking detailed and well-proportioned pilot figure. both with and without helmet.

    All of this will be incorporated on Version 10. ;)

    I want to see a backpack that slides forward in Gerwalk mode. And maybe a longer whatever-it's-called that sticks out the bottom of the backpack. 

    Wouldn't hurt to have that 'grill mesh' too. ^_^

     

    This was bound to happen...gray market VF's?

    Don't be shy to report if you bought one and say what you think about the whole KO thing. After all, everyone needs to have a VF-1 fix. ^_^

    Impressive! I’ve tried that on several occasions and they never hook me up. Was that for a hot item that was sold out or something that they raise the price on after release? 

    It was my order of Figuarts Iron Spider and Iron Man Mark 50. Which is now going for Y7800 and Y14000 respectively.

    From these pics, besides the pose ability I dont really say any major upgrades over the 1/48 Yamato VF1's.

    We shall see in two months time. ;) 

    I don’t own a Yamato 1/48 VF-1’s, but I can easily say that not having a tiny hands is already an upgrade to me. Not to mention moving individual fingers, waist joints, and how the head is flushed in Fighter mode. :rolleyes:

    Darn, missed my pay by date on the NY order I had for the new Messer VF-31. Guess time to hunt one on release day.

    Did you try to email them? How many days did it already pass from the deadline? If it's just one day, try to email them. There's no harm in trying. I did on one of my purchases before after I missed the payment date a day after. They 'reactivate' the pay now button on my order history page so I can pay. And it worked out great.

    So I haven't unpacked my YF-19 yet; how is the color match between the YF-19 and the -19ADVANCE?  will it look weird if I swap the shields to mount the fold booster on the ADVANCE?

    I haven’t compared mine yet. But from the looks of it the YF-19 is a touch lighter than the Vf-19/Adv. Plus, once you put the Fold Booster, the shield will be less noticeable. Because the focus will go to the Fold Booster. You now have an excuse to say it’s just the booster’s shadow that makes the shield a touch darker. ;)

    So... as some of you may recall, I told myself I would try cutting back on my Macross toy collecting.

    I tried to resist, I really did try. But with homework, 2 term papers, midterms coming up, and dissertation research, well.....  some people stress eat,  I stress shop. *SIGH*

    *snip*

    On the bright side,  I think I have gotten almost every Arcadia+Yamato 1/60 VF-1 series toy that I want now. 

    *snip*

    Geez, I started collecting back in March?  

    See, this is what happens when I stress shop!

    As long that you're happy and no regrets then you're all good. ;)
