Loop Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Yeah I think it's the high speed mode wing connector, I wonder if they should have not included that feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon18 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Mr. K says something about the intake lip. Thinner? Or lower or something.. Can't really tell much about it. Someone with better knowledge can probably talk about it better. Mr. K @ Mrk_arcadia Whoa! Clearance of the intake and the sub is low. ~ It is not justified more.

Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Yeah I think it's the high speed mode wing connector, I wonder if they should have not included that feature. +1 The wing connector is a potencial point of failure.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) reminds me of the episode in macross where the vf-x appears. roy said many test pilots risk death testing prototypes. it's a good thing we have isamu test piloting this, he's not afraid of death, malfunctioning locks or broken parts.

Valkyrie addict Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 In Plus, Isamu pilots the 3rd YF-19 prototype, I assume the two previews pilots also bit the bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Better they thoroughly test and retest, find, and fix any potential weak areas, inadequate locks and attachments, and breakage prone spots now then to release a flawed, and very expensive, toy that could sink their fledgling company if the YF-19 proves to be a turkey. Take your time Arcadia, and give us a product that's beyond reproach. Edited November 22, 2013 by mechaninac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 ^ Agreed, I would rather them play with it and find the flaws before release. If it causes a delay I have no qualms as I would rather have a perfect toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosey Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Even if it it's fragile, I'm good with my pre-order. I fell in love with the -19 for it's fighter mode for the most part and since it's gonna arrive on my door step in said mode - I'm good! I'll let you, my fellow intrepid (and more experienced) collectors/fans decide which parts are weak before I even attempt to transform mine......... Yes I am a bitch.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 on the special 19 site more comments are updated: one question i thought was interesting that clears up a question i had: customer: "the gun pod comes with a detachable clip, will there be a space in the shield where a spare clip can be attached?" Mk. K: "I put a gimmick to accommodate the grip in aircraft form. There's no mounting of spare magazine in shield back." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tober Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 HLJ's Black Friday Weekend Sale now has it at 26,568 JPY. 19% off.

Tober Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 OOH SNAP! How can I cancel my old one! Order a discounted one first to make sure they still have stock. When you get the order confirmation email go into your account and edit your previous order, setting the quantity to 'CANCEL', then confirm - it will take about 15 minutes for the new order to show up in your account. EDIT: No worries Hope they don't blacklist me. I did this to my other Arcadia pre-orders too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon18 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Well that sucks. I put in my order with Amiami for the 19 and 1S. Any chances of Amiami having the same sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure Black Friday Sales are that common in Japan, or anywhere outside the USA/Canada... I don't think you can cancel orders at any of the other stores anyway (except NY), not without warning or blacklist penalties anyway - not worth the hassles IMO. Maybe if you ordered with NY you could get them to price match HLJ... maybe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon18 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Yeah.. I know about those penalties thing. Pretty much why I'm keeping my orders. Dont wanna get blacklisted from my first order lol. Oh well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well.. If it helps, i think u can cancel via amiami at most once with good reasoning. I got this tip from googling how to cancel from them and found answers from some figure forum. I cancelled my roy that way(first order with them) i dont think i am banned but im pretty sure i cannot cancel anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) I got the e-mail this morning about the sale. I did the same, I cancelled the 2x 19's and the 1S Focker and 1S Hikaru. I reordered them at the discounted prices. Edited November 28, 2013 by Loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Yeah, I got the email too. I just didn't think preorder items would be on sale too!

Loop Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Now if I can just get them to adjust the price on the Metal Build Destiny Gundam I have on pre-order.
