aaajin Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) actually those are its eyes. the yf-19 is supposed to have eyes beneath the lens. god knows why maybe wmcheng was referring to the "lights" near the root of the wings in fighter mode : Edited March 29, 2014 by aaajin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Found a small review of it here! http://fastcast.blog51.fc2.com/blog-entry-1606.html the review also reveals an indent at the root of the wings for frontier supers (if arcadia gets the licence) : Edited March 29, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoosh Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 As far as new Valkyrie molds go, yes. The next is the VF-0D next year. Otherwise, there are various Wonderfest items, the mimi SFD Macross kit, and the possible re-issuse of older Valks. The first repaint of this mold could be the MF version with SMS FAST Pack bundle.

Mommar Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) the review also reveals an indent at the root of the wings for frontier supers (if arcadia gets the licence) : Except I pointed out those indents were there back when we originally were discussing the Frontier-style Fast packs months ago. They're on the top and bottom of the wing roots. Edited March 29, 2014 by Mommar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're on the top and bottom of the wing roots. also don't forget the jet skis packs all kidding aside yeah i do remember, i'm just posting the review confirming what we were talking about Unless there's some additional attachment point hidden on the wing root we haven't seen/noticed I can't see this really working for the Frontier Fast Packs. We could be surprised, but more likly it's just for the Fold Booster with, possibly, a forward thought to maybe supporting the frontier design at some point (though, again, attachment point on wing root?) here you go pat on the back Edited March 29, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tober Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 O-Oh, just a sticker sheet (I don't see any waterslide decals) and what's with the silver paint for a light, for $400 I'd thought we'd get a clear lens. They possibly couldn't make an indent in the wing for clear parts because of the internal swing arms for high-speed mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 They possibly couldn't make an indent in the wing for clear parts because of the internal swing arms for high-speed mode. They don't have those parts on the VF-19 either. But I was still speculating they couldn't have those indents for the same reason, the collapsing of the wing into the root is too tight plus it would show through the wing if they were clear.

aaajin Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 They possibly couldn't make an indent in the wing for clear parts because of the internal swing arms for high-speed mode. they could do it like 21/22 styled wing lights, i.e using very shallow indent, paint the indented area, then glue thin clear plastic on top. but I guess painting is easier/cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I just paid for my preorder from Nippon Yassan. Excited to get it! Does anyone know whether the stand below is included or where I could purchase one? I noticed the same stand from a couple of different pictures in jet mode. Thanks in advance! , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon18 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Aw sadded. Why only a sticker sheet. I was looking forward to another decal sheet Yeah.. I think the shoulder holes are for the Frontier fast packs. Maybe Arcadia has licence to that since they have licence to the 19? Doubt that metal stand comes with the 19. It's been said that this release doesnt come with a stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I've heard some rumors about Arcadia expecting a third party to make Frontier super parts for this toy. I wouldn't put much stock in it but that's what I heard. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Actually, that makes sense, I seriously doubt Bandai's going to let anyone in on their cash cow yet. I'm sure they're well aware of the resourcefulness of their customer base though, both in terms of molding and casting, and in terms of 3d printing. I probably wouldn't even use the shoulder packs myself, since they wouldn't work well in battroid (technically neither would the boosters), but I'm hoping they sized those notches to let you stick the existing VF-25 packs on it.

takatoys Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Arcadia nailed the definitive YF-19. Sadly, it cost a bit much to have a pair. But, I will be waiting for a Ravens scheme or any other fancy version, coz this valk looks great in any color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takatoys Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 By the way, still in stock at HLJ. Those of you who have doubts of spending too much, will regret later not buying this one when it was available. That happened to me with the VF-4, hope Arcadia reissues it this year.

Falcon18 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I hope that one's a decal too. But both look like sticker sheets to me. Arcadia's decals have a different base colour from the stickers as seen from the VF-1. Unless that doesn't matter.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Random 19 question: What are the grey tubes that sit under the chest section Battrroid?

I guess it's been a while since the last time you made a purchase on Yamato/Arcadia toys, they have been doing that for many release before.

Cdr Fokker Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Those side by side images with the Yamato 19 are like a comparison between a super model and a chimpanzee... Eh, I don't think it's that drastic. Obviously the new one is much better, but I still think the old one looks pretty good - which is why I still haven't decided whether or not to order one of the new ones yet.
