Great, now if they would only say something about improved ankle and high speed joints.

They know about the ankle problem...cause a lot of people complain about it in Twitter. They will try to fix it in this release. No words about HS mode.

Actually excited about this release, thanks Pedro and others for getting the info off of Arcadia's Twitter feed.

I still have (1) remaining YF-19 from Arcadia's initial release (unopened) and sold the others, the one that I did open I never transformed so I never did personally experience the issue.

I know we shouldn't do anything to a $300+ toy, but I used just a bit of clear matte tape on the underside to secure the wings and they don't move at all fully loaded (to be fair only one wing was slightly loose).

Simple fix you can't even tell. The ankles are a different story though.

Will get this rerelease if there's more tampo.

If Arcadia gave us a new cool paint scheme I might actually bite on a second...

Version 2's of Birds of Prey or Double Nuts, perhaps? Or VF-19A Lightnings? ;)

I'll go with Lightnings if ever. :wub:

This fix was so easy at the end that I felt unsatisfied when my YF-19 was assembled back with the wings tight in all 3 positions! I can't believe Arcadia haven't figured it out already...

I had disassembled the whole wing but in final, the fix doesn't require any screw removal, you can fix it directly from any mode, because the only thing you need is a 2mm long x 1mm wide x 1 mm high plastic scraps, such as plastic cards, WSF leftovers, etc...

First step: With a pencil, write a small mark on the bottom of the wing, to indicate the area where the hole finishes. -This hole was designed to accept the metal arm for High Speed mode position-

2nd step: Take the small scrap of plastic, and glue it over the pencil mark. The plastic scrap should be aligned with the wing short side.

What was the MSRP on the original release and anyone have suggestions of where too preorder if they do rerelease it? I'm new and have wanted a 19 for a long time.

Click the follow this topic on the upper right of this thread. It'll send updates on this thread to your email. Usually folks will put up the links for the preorder sites. Forgot the price, I think it was 32800 yen maybe? I think it was cheaper. But we don't know if it's a straight reissue with all those extra weapons set or a different one with some revisions.

The msrp was 32800 yen, and you should be able to find the preorder on all the normal webstores.

http://www.nippon-yasan.com

etc

The preorders normally stay up for a while unlike the bandai ones.

This is a brilliant fix.

anybody willing to put up the plastic nubs on shapeways :D?

Too bad that doesn't do anything to tighten up the hinges themselves. The whole mechanism really needs a redesign, they just made it far too minimalistic to support the weight of the wings, especially if they're loaded full of weapons.

Posted

Can not wait for the preorders to begin this month (as indicated by their Twitter feed) now I just hope they make a YF-21 to stand opposite of it.

You can make the bits from an old credit card, or any plastic sheets that would be 1mm thick. Shapeways wouldn't allow to print such a small piece of 2mm x 1mm x 1mm ;)

Yeah, with the size Xigfrid has posted, you can get a Styrene Sheet from any Hobby Store for it. ;)

Got one. :p

Nice! You got it from Arcadia or HLJ?

tempted to get a 2nd one but not sure I really need it.. nor the expense..

Just follow what you heart tells you. ;)

hehe!! If I did that then I would be buying everything and be broke and living on the street! :lol:

Hahaha! That's true. That's why I cancelled my VF-4G so that I will have budget on the VF-2SS Faerie SAP. Good thing I already have two. But I still want to have a new Arcadia VF-4G box. :lol:

Wow didn't expect this tonight. I'm in for one I agree with Pedro 2 is better than one:)
