    Holy crap, people have gone insane... YF-19's are sitting between $700 and $1000 on ebay for buy-it-now prices. Are we seriously already getting back to the early 90s with the old Takatoku prices again?
  2. Chronocidal
    That's the YF-21, and Angolz has those still, last I checked (a few minutes ago). I'm still really on the fence about bothering with a YF-19 anymore, but I feel like I should get one in good shape to save, even though I think the shape of it stinks. The newer VF-19 mold is such a quantum leap above it, it's almost painful to think about displaying them together. I know people love it, but shape aside, it's from the VF-0 generation, and has some of the same issues with cruddy plastic.

    Well, right at the moment, only things I'm really thinking of picking up is a standard YF-19, and maybe a Virgin Road VF-1D. Anyone sees good YF-19 deals (with fast packs would be great, but not necessary), I'd appreciate any tips.

    Wait, seriously? That's rather amazing. Their site has seemed incredibly dead and unresponsive to anyone for the longest time.
  5. Chronocidal
    Oh, uh, I don't think that site is actually working anymore. Overdrive has been completely dead for years now. Yeah, that news post about the clearance sale is dated from 2010. On the other hand, Angolz has the Gamlin VF-22 for $98 Tempting, but I don't need more VF-22s.

    Holy crap dude, that's gonna be big enough to ship yourself in.

    I still want to see what those other YF-19 prototypes looked like.

    I wonder if the delay for HLJ is that they're more focused on marketing to the US, not so much to other parts of Asia. Usually my HLJ orders arrive in around 3-5 days, assuming I don't order on the weekend. Kind of the reverse for me with HKC, but I can't complain, my 19S shipped out early this morning.

    Sorry for the double post, just a heads up, the P is available at HKC, they posted a note in another portion of the forums. http://www.hkcollectibles.com/macross-robotech/7151-vf-19p-planet-zola-patrol-color.html

    Actually makes me wonder if they typo'd the name like they did the 25S before. Could mean they're sitting unsold somewhere in the site.
  12. Chronocidal
    I don't think they even have it listed yet. I check their catalog pretty regularly, and haven't seen any renewal of it appear yet.
  13. Chronocidal
    K, no trouble, just curious since I hadn't bought from them before now. I'm not in any huge rush, I only wondered if they were running out. I won't be terribly disappointed if they're out of stock, I've bought too many of these already.
  14. Chronocidal
    Anyone know how long HK Collectibles takes to ship things out? Ordered that VF-19S on the 15th, and haven't heard anything yet. Paypal payment was accepted, but haven't heard anything since then.
  15. Chronocidal
    Yeah, thing about SP attacks is that since you can't control yourself once you activate one, they give you limited invulnerability. That goes for enemies too, so your best bet is to use a valk with a long combo so you can outlast them. Soon as you hear the "CHING" sound of one activated, hit your own.

    I have to admit, once I get the DX YF-29 and it's super packs, I'm going to be tempted to strip it down and repaint it as either Isamu's version, or that bluish-gray low-vis camo. The plane is just beautiful that way. The gaudy paint schemes they've got the YF-29 toys in don't do anything for me, but I would shell out easily to pick up some game-based repaints. Or heck.. maybe I can dream, and Hasegawa will milk the deal to make 1/72 VF-25s into making a 1/48 YF-29 kit.
  17. Chronocidal
    Not as nerdy as you might think. I love HLJ's sturdy shipping boxes, so I've got a generous supply of them "folded away" myself right now. Next time I move, people are going to think I came from Japan.

    Actually, unlocking that race can be the tricky part, since anything past race 3 you have to unlock by completing another quest. I don't remember unlocking the races being a problem, because I completed them without realizing it, but going and looking for them is another step in the process.
  19. Chronocidal
    Something of that magnitude, I don't know. Depending on scale, it'd be orders of magnitude more involved than something like what Experten makes. The sheer number of parts to make might make it impractical using anything besides actual injection molds.
  20. Chronocidal
    Depending on the target, this may not even matter.. After maxing out the gunpod stats, I can often kill stuff with it before I get close enough to even get a missile lock. Just might take a little manual aiming.
  21. Chronocidal
    Or this...

    Sounds pretty similar to BBTS sadly. I had a preorder in on the very first day for the second run of the original YF-29... It never happened. They never updated, never gave any info, and just kept pushing the listed release date back. I wound up cancelling that order when NY opened up orders for the second run of the 30th anniversary release. I probably had my order in there a good 9 months, with no information from them at all. Hope Hobby Fan doesn't wind up in the same boat.

    The only downside to this one is that giant bulky missile pod. Aside from that, it looks really similar to the SV-51. Nose folds under the cockpit and backwards, the legs seem to actually stay in place while the pelvis rotates down, meaning we might have a full-on waist joint. The arms seem kind of unnecessarily complicated though. They lay along side the legs like the SV-51, but that angled fin-shaped panel on the forearm is actually a piece of the underside of the wing. There's a few folding panels that open up, and the arms bury themselves in the wing root.

    Actually, I think I'm gonna see about converting one to actual blue angels markings. I dunno if I'll get too fancy, but I kinda want to see how hard that would be to do. I might just buy some pinstriping tape, and make the markings with that to see what will potentially scratch.

    I think once you unlock all of the rank 3 valks, it just comes down to personal preference, because unless I'm mistaken, maxing out any valk to 999,999 will result in identical base stats. It just comes down to preferences for what weapons you want to use. Personally, I like having reaction weapons around for area of effect shots on bigger targets, but the number of things that they're useful on is pretty limited. I do prefer using multi-missiles to the rapid fire ones though, just for coverage. As far as looks, I just love using Isamu's YF-29. The beam gun turret packs a lot more punch than any head laser, and you can pretty much fire it from any direction as long as your target is above you.
