SaitouSad Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 http://www.angolz.com/store/1-60-macross-plus-yf-19-8001.html Another one up for grabs. ahh, much thanks.. pity it's a tad too pricey for me... I'll have to wait and snoop around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plutoniumhunter Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 No problem SaitouSad, just chanced upon it. Well yeah... YF-19s are in low supply, hence the high price... might be someone here who would like to sell theirs maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benbot Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'd wait anyway. I think it's a sure bet that someone is going to produce a superior version of the YF-19 pretty soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestar Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 http://gencolle.jp/useritem/detail/item024231 Sorry if this is a repost, but I came across this japanase site when googling for vf-19p images. Awesome decaling and line-paneling, with missiles to boot! Has anyone modded their vf-19 to be able to carry missiles? There are other valks on the site that are as well done as this.

aceoftherebellion Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 That really is pretty... although I question the speaker+missile combo, I'd think it'd be pretty much one or the other, it looks pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Magnus Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Makes me want to get the VF-19P! I just got the F today and am enjoying it. I was thinking of getting the P next month. Oh wait Friday is March....next month....... Edited February 27, 2013 by Valkyrie Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Magnus Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Damn! I just ordered the P from NY! Oh well, it's a beautiful Valkyrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 The decals look great... except the Zola patrol group wasn't associated with the UN, were they? Also, I will never understand people's love for slapping corporate logos all over military craft. Yes, you might see them on a prototype, which is what the YF-19 and YF-21 were.. but you're not going to get a stupid engine label plastered all over an in-service aircraft. Heck, that's half the reason I'm tempted to strip all the markings off my VF-171. It looks like a flying corporate billboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the first things I did was to replace the Basara pilot with a spare SV-51 pilot.

Valkyrie addict Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'm sorry to say this, but I don't like the 19P much, maybe it is like a lot of you guys say and picture do no justice to the 19P specifically. My VF19S, VF17S and a VF1J are waiting for me at home, won't be home until saturday to open my boxes. Maybe I don't like the 19P because Basara sat on it and sang like an idiot and then a whale blew up and its blood turn it into a 19Kai suddenly and more stupid Basara singing.. I guess I would get the 19P if i have some extra cash lying around (doubt it), anyway, its probably sold out everywhere by now thanks to all you guys.

Chronocidal Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Basically the reason I like the 19P is that it's the only VF-19 we have any hope of customizing. I never even saw the anime it's from, so I've got no attachment to the design aside from it's the least gaudy VF-19 we can buy. I have never understood why the intake covers on all the others are ridiculous colors, while the covers of practically every valkyrie ever have always been gray. I might keep one in original markings, but any others I plan to get are likely to get stripped bare and have new markings put on.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the Basara schemes at all. I hate the red and yellow and I'm not very fond of the 19P scheme either. However, these are great molds so I bought the 19P mainly for that (plus the headsculpt is kickin rad). I may change out the bronze/yellow on it for something less ugly because it doesnt match the red accents at all. I may get around to getting the Kai yet...though I hate the super robot mouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vifam7 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I hate Basara, but I did buy a VF-19kai. I'm planning on replacing the Basara figure and decaling the fighter in a non-Macross fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benbot Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I was just playing with my 19 last night and I'm still shocked at how big it is. It's huge next to the VF-1 and even the VF-25 toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceoftherebellion Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 LOL, Looks like opinions on 7 are as Mixed as ever. Personally, I love Basara and am much more interested in his red Fire Valkyrie and the Zola fleet version than I am in either of the Emerald Squadron production versions... But this is what was awesome about Yamato, they made all of them so it's easy to just get the ones you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is what was awesome about Yamato, they made all of them so it's easy to just get the ones you like. When I first started watching 7, I disliked it, but it really really grew on me, to the extent that my opinion is the same as yours! Everytime I look at a VF-19S, I think of Docker... which puts me off, I might buy one eventually though, since it's close to VF-1S level prices for now...

aceoftherebellion Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Exactly that. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Docker or anything, I thought he was kind of a cool character, but his VF-19 is pretty much dead last on my list of 7 mechs to buy... and I'd only be getting it to set up group-shot photos with Basara and Gamlin valkyries. I mean it's a pretty enough robot... I like the blue and all but eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestar Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 The decals look great... except the Zola patrol group wasn't associated with the UN, were they? I remember reading somewhere that Planet Zola was UN colony, or something like that. Also, I think I saw the lineart for the VF-19p in the Master File book that had the UN Spacy logo printed on the right wing. Yeah, I'm not a fan of the Basara schemes at all. I hate the red and yellow and I'm not very fond of the 19P scheme either. However, these are great molds so I bought the 19P mainly for that (plus the headsculpt is kickin rad). I may change out the bronze/yellow on it for something less ugly because it doesnt match the red accents at all. I may get around to getting the Kai yet...though I hate the super robot mouth I'm probably one of the few that loves the VF-19 in all its versions. I totally agree that it's a great mold. My favorite out of all of Yamato's offerings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) I always felt Docker was and unnecessary poor antagonist to Gamlin and a made the VF-19 look useless since they were supposed to be superior to the VF-17 in every way, unlike how Max and Miria kicked ass in their VF-22S. Back on topic, never saw the 19P as a canvas for customization, would be really kickass to see an awesome scheme on the 19P, the only thing that I have towards the 19P is the wings design is more close to the YF-19, VF-19A instead of the near inverted delta of the VF-19S/F which I thought made the fighter look fat.

My understand is that it wasn't a colony world so much as a recently encountered 'friendly' world that had recently been contacted and brought into the fold as a part of the U.N. government, with their planetary defense force working under the U.N.Spacy. If they weren't a part of the U.N.Spacy, it seems unlikely that they'd have been supplied with a unit as new as the VF-19... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miro79 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) didn't get to preorder the rvf-25, but picked up this beauty today from customs instead. My very first macross toy.

miro79 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 on my vf-19s the rear gear bay doors require some force to open up, and they make a frightening snapping noise when they finally move... is that common with these toys? also the diecast sliding joint on one arm is pretty loose...

Scyla Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hm I remember that in one of Veefs VF-19 reviews the doors of the landing gear make a snapping sound when you close them. Not sure if thats the same noise you describe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just re-watched the VF-19 Kai review from jenius and the landing gear doors make some really loud snap noises. He also mentioned that you should be careful with the Gewalk joint because there might break a delimiter. Give it a watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFsvmis4dKQ&list=UUwLPOZ_xJKKVkcaE4DMM9cw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
