Sanity is Optional Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 2 minutes ago, CF18 said: So watching all the reviews, my only disappointment is that the unit only come with 8 missile mounting pieces, so you get all those missiles but not enough pieces to mount them on the VF-31s and VF-171s. I'll make a Shapeways model, if @Xigfrid doesn't beat me to it. Might take a few weeks though, I've got a prior commitment to replicate shield missile adapters for @Sildani.

This guy is doing at least a 3-part in-depth review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqPGXDutSNY Yeah it may look a little stubby in fighter mode but I much prefer the smaller heal when in battroid! The adv heal is too long and no one likes clown feet. Also, got shipping notice today! Yay! Got it sent via DHL so that should mean I'll have it before the weekend!

For about 2 seconds I thought your left vertical stab was missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice balance of the two would be the Arcadia heel but doing what’s different seems to be what got Bandai here in the first place so I guess that wasn’t going to happen. As it is, VF-19 heel for fighter and YF-19 for battroid/gerwalk but neither are particularly offensive to me now either way. I’ll still wait til I have it in-hand to really consider.

The adv does have a different look and the fastpack are a military green which I think makes it look better than the blue. The blue just blends in too well that it just looks plain. also that’s it for the vf-19 adv , they aren’t gonna make more , so I don’t think you will find it for less than msrp . A fair consideration. Just took delivery of my copy from CDJ. I'm pretty impressed with their speed and service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saviant Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Well I got a VF-19 Advance I brought through fromjapan and also my YF-19 from biginjapan today, and just got the email from HLJ that my other shipped. I opened it up and one of the wing tabs was so tight it wasn't funny, I popped it out after using a nylon iphone tool, there was no damage to anything inside the box so I was incredibly happy.

I'm only now starting to take note of the points system from CDJ, Amiami, etc. Never really give them any consideration up till recently. Was too focused at list price.

Shizuka the Cat Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Is it just me, or is it a real pain getting the gunpod to attach to the arm cannon in fighter mode?

Scyla Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I hope they do a YF-21. However I‘d prefer a VF-22 from Macross Delta first because I think it would be awseome to see Bandai try to implement an itegrated canopy cover.
