The 2nd coming of the YF-19, Part 2

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.

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.

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) :wacko: 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. :p

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.

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.

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. :lol:

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...

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.

Tell me more about how you feel concerning the SHE YF-19, Graham. Don't hold back.

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.

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.
