Zaid Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 So far whatever has been available seems to have gone through, so let's assume that stock is just plenty and there's enough to go around. Likely someone cancelled an order they just put in, or someone cancelled their reserve. This is honestly one of the best looking valks I've seen in a long time.

Golden Arms Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) It's still up for order on HLJ. It says waiting for stock if you order. Maybe Bandai has started making larger production runs for these toys The YF-29B is also up for order as well!

Loop Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Is it just me or does the side view remind you of the "dreadful" Yamato YF-19 gullet? And yeah the Gerwalk poses could be better. I hope it's not because of some weird range of motion limitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's not because of some weird range of motion limitation. It's not just you, it has the same sort of problem the Yammie V.1 did. It makes the side view for fighter and Gerwalk look terrible.

Chronocidal Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Is it just me or does the side view remind you of the "dreadful" Yamato YF-19 gullet? And yeah the Gerwalk poses could be better. I hope it's not because of some weird range of motion limitation. Honestly, it doesnt to me, and this one actually looks even slimmer than the Arcadia, probably thanks to all the tiny folding bits involved in the torso transformation. The profile of the front end actually reminds me more of the Hasegawa kits. The key thing about the gullet is really how and where the profile of the underside crosses the leading edge of the intake. The Arcadia's underside crosses a little below the "bend" in the side of the intake, and at a fairly steep angle, since it curves downward into the groin plate between the thighs. The Bandai one looks not only like it crosses the intake at a higher point, but the angle is shallower, leading me to think there is even less of a belly. The overall profile of the plane is also much more like the Hasegawa, with the forward fuselage being much more flat, and the spine looking more level. I used to complain a lot that the profile of the old Yamato was just terrible, because the nose looke like it was stuck up in the air. I modded my Yamato to drop the nose, and the resulting profile made the nose tip roughly level with the centers of the exhaust, which was essentially what the Yamato VF-19s and Arcadia YF-19 have. But this one might top them all, because instead of just bending the nose down, it actually compresses the entire plane in the vertical direction. The skinny legs help it quite a bit, but the whole plane just looks flatter, and the profile curve from the nose tip, along the body profile curve to the back edge of the wing looks like a very gentle curve all the way to the center of the feet. It really looks very much like the line art from the TIA book to me. My one concern with the gullet is actually the panel that drops... it just seems to bulge out, and doesnt match the curvature of the rest of the underside for some reason. It's pretty minor, but I really wonder why it does that, and I might actually try to thin that panel out to fix it if I can, or make a new panel that doesnt do it.

usagiz Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I lucked out yesterday morning with Anime Export! Just paid shipping! Yay!! I like the plastic color on the Bandai over the Arcadia. The force barrier punch looks like a much better accessory than the pile of Arcadia missiles. Usagiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be awesome if it does get fulfilled because it'll be perfect to ship together with the YF-29B when that is released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoexcaliber Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I don't know if they're fulfilling any more pre-orders. I placed one yesterday and they haven't sent any payment requests.

They've sent me payment requests on Sundays before and they're usually around the same time around 1.30-2.30 AM. Why shouldn't they fix it if it's a bug? It's just giving false hope to buyers who might cancel their pre-order elsewhere because they think they managed to secure one from HLJ.

takatoys Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Maybe it's an agreement between Bandai and HLJ. Let Bandai know to keep fabricating the toy a little more and don't let Arcadia to sell a future YF-19 reissue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F360 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Yeah it's the weekend , it's Sunday morning in Japan right now , there's probably no one in. Also the cut off time for shipping from Japan is probably Saturday evening their time. Hobby search also don't work on Sunday's and also closes on the 2nd and 3rd Saturday's so all the people that order the vf-19 from them will have to wait for the weekend to be over to get any update . The good news is 24hours from now (USA Sunday evening) , will be their Monday Edited June 21, 2015 by F360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
