Bandai VF-19 Advance....!!!


Scream Man

Recommended Posts

I got another. The one I recently bought went to my girlfriend's brother, this one will go to a friend of mine for Xmas, zero interest in owning one myself.

I wish I was your friend :)
Can I be your friend too. ;) Edited by no3ljm

To be fair, this friend is more of a brother, I've known him since I was 3, and we always exchange beastly Xmas gifts, I've already hinted to him that I NEED a PG Banshee model kit.

Hahaha! That would be cool if he will include those option LEDs and other weapons too. ;)

I just wish I had a close friend that was into Macross. Even my twin brother doesn't share my love for Macross :(

How is this back in stock again? This was released back in June.

Aren't you glad that there's some restock of this beautiful valk? :rolleyes:

Anyways, it's low stock now so for people/members who still hasn't any, now's your chance to own one. Go! Go! Go! ;)

Finally got around to fully exploring this beast and I'm mad at you guys.

No one warned me how goddamn hard it was going to be to transform it into battrod mode.

It's never leaving plane mode again. Ever.

EVER.

Edit: ALSO, and to piggyback on the below post and blame Bandai, I had to use an iPhone toolkit to get the right wing peg out of the leg.

And no, I did not watch the videos because I'm a man and real men don't watch videos or read the stupid tiny Japanese(duh) instructions until :KJ!@EU&GHKJBSC!

(I didn't actually think of that, just banged around in the instructions for over an hour.)

Don't blame us. Blame Bandai. :lol:

We just love a good valk. ;)

By the way, did you check out those videos how to transform this?

The second time will be much easier , just don't transform your valks drunk and you'll be fine .

I haven't transformed mine in awhile (I have the FAST Packs on, and one of the wing boosters falls off very easily), but other than the grey parts attached to the backs of the legs and boosters, the transformation was pretty straightforward to me. The hip joints are tight, and there's always that fear of snappage, but I felt it was easier than many of the Bayformer toys. I watched a vid before I got mine, and my copy's instructions remain sealed in their bag. I've transformed mine about three times..with packs, it's a pain, but without, pretty easy, similar to Arcadia's. Just take it slow and steady. The transformation is a huge part of owning these toys...if you're someone who just likes one mode over the other, I'd think a nice model would be a better investment for the money.

The hips(and that sticky leg tab) were the scariest. I didn't realize that the hip levels/raised groove thingies were spring loaded and needed to be depressed to move the hips back down for fighter. I have sausage fingers so I had to use tweezers. (again, dat iPhone repair kit doe)

I like it in fighter more anyway and short of my earlier rage, I do think it's quite an amazing piece of tech and toy.

Another thanks for the little nudge I needed to buy it and to Anubis for supplying it.

Managed to snag one - total cost 22680 + 2490 ship + 1134 handling charge - 26304 so not bad IMO. Originally there were six, then four... The moment they hit Macrossworld, gone. I think there might be one left now.

Good for you. That's a really good price. Really tempted to get one myself but my preference is for the Acadia one. :)
