ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Well, i *was* goin with HLJ with the early bird price, but nah stuff it i will wait for the review... Christmas for sure if the first release is up to scratch. Bloody better be witht he price tag..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emajnthis Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 With the Godzilla preorder my final price is about the same price i paid for my VF-0 at its launch: $160ish. I love the YF19 but it doesn't have to be at my door the day after it comes out since I already waited forever for its release as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JELEINEN Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I suppose when you say, "flying" you meant hovering. I do remember wheels were hugging the ground but the main bike itself was kind of suspended in mid-air without the aid of conventional shocks and springs but thru the use of what I assume to be magnets. It would be nice to have something that gives all the 1/60th collection a sense of scale rather than the wingspan comparison. I think he means the homemade one that Isamu and Guld built as teenagers.

Deimos Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) Is it time for new pics yet? hmmm... judging from the fact there is no new pics, this will definite slip into a late dec ship date ? Edited October 17, 2006 by Deimos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadghost Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 If you guys think the 1/72 yf-19 is expensive, try buying a lancer evolution and building it up to look like the yf-21 from the out side to the inside, I swear to you it will be the largest project in MW history(chokeing in my own drool) It will most likely cost me more than a 2grand of after part configuration, not include'ing the price of the car. two-three years of hard work, al be one step closer of have'ing the real thing, well kinda.

UN Spacy Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Graham. Can you find out if Yamato will have tougher QC this time around? After paying so much for the VF-0S I'm afraid of more loose elbow and shoulder joints. YET keep the same awesome paint and tampo printing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrowyn Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I feel this desparation inside me to buy one...nay, three of these bastards but I'm worried about two things. One, really, just split into two parts: -Will there be a "fixed" release when (/if) they correct some of the flaws that are bound to crop up in the first batch(es)? -Will Yamato just go ahead and release a version With the Fastpacks, possibly one updated from the initial release to fix errors and also work better with the Fastpacks themselves? Not to be the little stormcloud mucking up your day, but problems like these are not inconceivable to toy owners of ANY brand. This is a very expensive "investment" and I want to be sure I don't gip myself by jumping the gun, and I've suffered before due to both impatience and the wait-and-see. You never know what Yamato is going to do with their production schedules, what they might re-release due to good sales, but I remember what happened last time with the YF-19 and me (see the above wait-and-see, poor sucker waits for Toycom to pick up the license). /sigh. What to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Arrowyn, don't worry your not alone. We can wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fort Max Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Flaws and unforseen errors not withstanding this toy has been designed from the word go with the fastpacks and fold booster in mind so I don;t think they'll be any major issues there. I'm sad to say that I won't be buying one straight away after all, partly because I can't afford it and also because I pre-ordered Gunbuster first.

eugimon Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 yeah, it looked that way to me as well, just wanted confirmation. imo, the SHE kit is no way the definitive yf-19... the 1/60 looks like it'll blow it out of the water in nearly every way.

Nani?! Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 yeah, it looked that way to me as well, just wanted confirmation. imo, the SHE kit is no way the definitive yf-19... the 1/60 looks like it'll blow it out of the water in nearly every way. the sculpt definitely blows away anything out right now... I still want to reserve final judgement when we see the final paint, the tampo printed markings, and sturdiness of the thing.... The resin sculpt prototype blows away even the supernova kit IMO...

Graham Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 The SHE has huge ugly square intakes, no landing gear & the wings set too far forward. Also, the feet are not accurate in fighter mode. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Knight Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I think I'll probably wait AT LEAST a few weeks after it finally gets released, before deciding if I'll get the first release version, or hold out for a later version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odin Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I originally preordered 3, but as time goes on and common sense has time to ponder the purchase, I have gradually went down to one. If only they didn't announce them so early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComicKaze Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 (edited) Any Canadians have an idea where to pre-order a YF-19? Don't want to pay insane customs fees from buying from a U.S. shop. Or Graham, anywhere in Hong Kong that has pre-orders or is just a good place to buy them? I could get my friend there to pick me up one.
