    Hi all, several weeks ago I realized (yep, I'm turning really old) that there must be some important date regarding one of the best anime of the macross saga: Macross Plus. The official launch date was August, 27th, 1995, so it is turning 25 years old in just some days from today... And I do not see any kind of event, or celebration mecha... Am I too disconnected from the forums? T_T Sorry for bothering if there's a thread already opened for this discussion I haven't been able to find... But let me take the opportunity to say hi to you all and wish you and your families are all safe and sound and to keep safe! Manu PS: BTW, huge thanks to Shoji Kawamori and his team back then to create what is (at least for me) a really fine masterpiece which let me dream... and fly away with those caracters (Isamu, Guld, Myung) and those 3 mechas (vf-11, yf.19 and yf-21).

    A reference to Macross+...

    G1 fan at core, I have to admit that I'm more of a TF Prime fan. Even though I do not really like the kids, I have to admit that the way they described the rise of Megatronus, his relationship with Orion Pax and how things evolved... I loved all of it. Did not like much how it finally ended, but overall, haven't seen anything better since then. Not really excited with this new movie though. We will see anyway.

    Man, cannot agree more. Just to add sth, this series has an incredible J-Pop overload... Basically, I love Macross series for the mecha side, the action, and the plot. Yes, the usual triangles add some twists and turns of the main plot, but even though music is an important part of Macross, the amount of Jpop in Delta is even above Macross 7 and dynamite... First episode brought a lot of promises and hype... but it turned out to be mere smoke... my .02

    Can't agree more. Period.

    Hi everyone, are there any chances of a new re-issue (of this same arcadia version) of this yf-19 for this xmas? thanks!
  8. mcpaz
    Pretty good? Wtf? It was the best 19 model ever! Proof of that is that cheng's model appeared in google when looking for 19's images...

    I highly support yf-19 v2.0 (or should we say 3.0?)!!
  11. mcpaz
    Well, confirmed release date, at last!!!! next year, march 12th StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm Finally Gets Release Date

    Let me make myself a little clearer: when I said "I can barely remember something related to poseability and joint durability and by the next paragraph, a yf-21 was torn to pieces against a wall. Poor semi-valk thing." I really meant: "I can barely remember something related to poseability and joint durability and by the next paragraph, a revoltech yf-21 was torn to pieces against a wall. Poor semi-valk thing." I don't remember, in the years I've been lurking around (like 11yr or so), Graham actually breaking a Yamato valk (other than QC issues, like "damn tab B" syndrome for the old 1/72 yf-19). And please do not kill the messenger nor use him in your private wars... prettyprettyplease... I haven't said the omega pants thing for a loooong time... Regards, Manu

    IIRC, it was long time ago, when comparing the revoltech vs yamato's counterpart... The phrase "... yes, I can be brutal sometimes..." is still in my head since then. I can barely remember something related to poseability and joint durability and by the next paragraph, a yf-21 was torn to pieces against a wall. Poor semi-valk thing. This was the reason why I've never bought yf-19 and 21's revoltech.

    I don't know 'bout you all, but I think I'm hearing Graham's evil laughs in Spain, without Skype nor Google talk. Same again... year after year... G-man, you got no heart! Sigh. Looks like there's no other thing to do than wait. We haven't been able to break is PC's security, hack into his hard drives...

    mmmm... don't think so... nothin' is leaked on his avatar... yet. Maybe Yamato is waitin' on the 20th mac+ anniversary, which will happen in 2 years... Who knows. Anyway, I would sooooo much to get a v3 (or even v4) YF-19... I think it's one of the most preferred mechas in the macross universe in this forum. Please, Yamato!

    Hi, the 21 is a must. Period. Together with the VF-11B, I highly recommend 'em both. Even though my experience with the lil'ol'19, both valks belong to a whole different league. You should take a look how sleek they look in fighter mode. 100% anime acurate. Yamato does not state it, but whooshes and barrel rolls are allowed and supported without parts fallin'. Me pretty sure 'bout that.

    Hi folks, due to the fact I'm one of the affected right-arm self-breakage, can anybody prettyprettyplease tell me if there's a chance to get a right arm replacement? If so, what's the procedure to follow? Kind regards and thanks in advance.

    Hi everyone, add me to the list. I begun reading this thread a couple of weeks ago, and finally today I had the chance to go to my beloved YF-19 (yep, it's been my favourite mecha since the very first time I saw Mac+). I hadn't transformed it for a while (since may, I think), and... damn, right arm broke at the shoulder joint. Man, it broke to pieces. I'm trying to repair it with super glue, 'cos I was waiting for a 1/60 yf-19 for years, and finally bought a 1st version. Damn, I love this valk! BUT, in this point, let me state a couple of things: 1) Yeah, Yamato has done by far the best replicas in the market, so their products are the best replicas. Period. 2) Lots of manpower are dedicated to these valks, and that's one of the reasons they're so expensive. Accepted and OK. That's why I'm buying Yamato and not Bandai. 3) I treat ALL of my valks and transformers (and legos, and all my stuff) with extreme care. What I'm not doing is shut my mouth and don't complain because a 200$ toy/replica/howeveryouwannacallit breaks itself. Yamato has a point to improve: QC. I think it's our major complaint. Yamato please, take note and apply some action plan to improve. It's not going to stop us MWers buying Yamato valks, but it's very likely we begin to think twice before we do. Graham, what are we supposed to do now? Is it possible to get replacements? Anyway, I'm keeping now high hopes for the YF-19 v3, and maybe buy a v4 yf-19 without v3 flaws (...). I hope I'm the last one to report this problem. Regards people, Manu

    I would completely like a new YF-19 re-issue. when comparing the VF-11b and YF-21 with the YF-19... well, the latter doesn't have the same finish as the 11 and the 21 have. And seeing what Yamato has done to the VF-19 fire valk... well, it makes me want the same finish to the 19, which is my favourite mecha. So yes, I would completely like a new v3 YF-19!!! Please Yamato!!!

    Damn.... guess a little peek at the 2nd part is worse than watching a whole trailer. Aaaargh! I don't wanna wait!!! (and I'm not talking in a "dawson's creek" way! Great find, thanks! Manu

    Remember to add the "angled rear landing gear" to the list of initial release flaws. Not sure if it got fixed, tough.
  22. mcpaz
    Let me add my 2 cent: of those 10, how many were designed by or helped the design in some way by the holy froatin' Kawamori-San? It kinda makes you think

    It's cool!! Very good job!! Surprinsingly for me, the image quality is superb for an '80 cartoon. Actually I'm not a huge fan of Basara... ok, I'm no fan of Basara at all (yeah, every time I see him all I can thin of is to kick him in the... well...). So, nice job anyway! It really reminds me I have to see Mac7. The whole thing. I got to give a chance. You know, "hate it or love it" ยบ One last thing: very good job with the timing! I don't want to think the amount of time you might have spent with it, neither the amount of time you needed to get the "we built this city" chorus out of your head... :-) Kind regards, Manu

    Hi peolesdru, nice videos! The only thing I missed is the "tailfin trick" to pull those extra milimeters so they look great on fighter mode. Regds, Manu

    believe me, you won't regret it!! Get one! ^__^
