Dobber Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Glad I finally got somewhat of an answer to what I've been freaking asking for days now and was ignored. Thank you Graham for bringing up the gear and stand....at least you can get these guys to ansewr a freaking question. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 IIRC the latest Figure Oh mentions that landing gear, fists and the stand will be included with the 19S. One other thing is that the missiles are separate pieces that you attach to the inside of the leg cover: in other words, they do not actually physically store inside the leg. You need to take them off, then replace the cover onto the leg. That's awesome except for the missles not being able to be stored within the leg.

Thank you Graham for bringing up the gear and stand....at least you can get these guys to ansewr a freaking question. Chris Regarding the stand, I had answered your question two posts before you even asked it. If anything, I was the one ignored... As for the missiles, I just remembered the deal with them so I added the info on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) Actually it WAS your post that made me ask the question. Too many times we see pictures that show a display stand displayed with the toy, or someone makes an assumtion that it will,and then the stand is not included. Just because it is shown in the pictures means nothing, which is why I asked the question and again later on wondering if the text below the pictures stated if a stand is included, especially because they showed a couple different stands in the pictures. You never mentioned before that you read it in a mag. you just said it even comes with a stand. after pictures were shown of it on a couple diferent stands (see reason above). Again, shouldn't be so hard for someone to answer, and evidently wasn't when the write person asks or makes a statement on such Chris Edited June 15, 2010 by Dobber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The page on Tamashii's site makes no mention of the inclusion of the stand but the magazine Renato read, did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Thanks Shin. I'm over it now, it just bugged me at the time, not anyone in particular, I just didn't see any proof of it comming with the stand besides Renato's statment. Should've just asked more directly, just thought someone would've answered if they new and I didn't want to come off argumentative...which is funny because that's exactly how I was later!

Raptor One Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 The new pics are nice. I just gotta say that the 19 looks pretty badass sitting on its landing gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Anybody got the firm release date for this. I'm guessing 25th July? Definitely buying 2, one to keep in fighter mode, the other 2 keep in battroid. Hope we get news about the VF-19F soon as well. I want to complete Emerald Force.

Midi_Amp Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 So, is there a clear confirmation yet whether the gunpod can be attached to the underside of toy in fighter mode? The Cybergundam website picture shows a little bit of something stuck below the fuselage in fighter mode... But that's shown with the action base. Action base usually employs a special clip to display an attachment, like Bandai 1/72 Macross F model kits. But looking at the smooth underside of VF-19Kai, I don't think there's a place for a clip to be put there. So most likely the Blazer Valk just "sits" on top of the action base roots? Like Graham I'm planning to buy two of these... But I just want to make sure first with the gunpod attachment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 The fighter definitely, just sits on top of the landing gear. The landing gear plug into the display base. So basically, it's a sort of cradle arrangement. Unfortunately, I've seen no news or pics indicating the gunpod can attach in fighter mode. Bandai may pull a last minute surprize, but I kind of doubt it. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandai already surprised us with the leg missile bays. The leg mold definitely needed to be retooled to allow it to be partially removed like that. So why stop there? Here's hoping Bandai insert magnets on the gunpod and on the arms so we can have it attached to the fighter mode without awkward looking attachments.

Unfortunately, due to the angle and positioning of the arms on the Bandai toy, that wouldn't really work. You would need some sort of extended connector, like on the VF-25DX toys.

Graham Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 A typhoon may hit Hong Kong this weekend. Hope it won't affect the release date! Naughty Ivan! Don't say such things. Now go and stand in the corner until I say you can come out. Hopefully, they would be shipping by truck from the factory in Southern China, so unless the typhoon signal goes up to No.8 or higher, the delivery won't be affected. Anyway, as we often get Bandai stuff a day or two before Japan, I'm hoping they might start showing up in shops as early as tomorrow.

Graham Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Checked yesterday lunchtime, but not yesterday evening, so don't know.

Graham Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 No luck in Oriental 188 Center. Checked 3 shops. Two of them just got a restock of the Hi-Metal VF-1J Hikaru, but no sign of the VF-19S yet. May check Ins-Point in Yau Ma Tei after work. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renato Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Nice box! I really like the head illustration. Poor Docker, though, he's not distinctive/recognisable enough to be part of the box art. By the way, anyone in Tokyo right now can view a sample of the actual toy on display at the limited Macross Shop in Akihabara, which is in the information centre of the UDX Plaza.
