jenius Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Great, now if they would only say something about improved ankle and high speed joints. Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 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. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 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. -b. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 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. Quote
Gundam@EFSF Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 I want bandai to announce her dx vf19 before we need to make order... Quote
seti88 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 I want bandai to announce her dx vf19 before we need to make order... haha with delta coming on, i dont know when they will have the time for a 19 release... Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 anyone pre ordering this. i want to know if there was any changes... Quote
Sandman Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 i might preorder this is they improved the tampo mainly the intake markings. Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 anyone pre ordering this. i want to know if there was any changes... I Will get one. Quote
jenius Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Do we think Bandai will announce the preorder for the first VF-31 on the same day Arcadia starts taking preorders for the 19? Quote
derex3592 Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 If Arcadia gave us a new cool paint scheme I might actually bite on a second... Quote
Loop Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I already have 2, I think I will sit out on this one unless something is vastly different. Quote
no3Ljm Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 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. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Version 2's of Birds of Prey or Double Nuts, perhaps? Or VF-19A Lightnings? I'll go with Lightnings if ever. *snip* *2 for the Lighting custom. -b. Quote
Xigfrid Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 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. Let the superglue dry and THAT'S IT! Fighter mode: Battroid mode: High speed mode: Quote
Gojira101 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 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. Quote
wmkjr Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited January 11, 2016 by wmkjr Quote

I'm new and have wanted a 19 for a long time. 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.

Chronocidal Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 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. Quote
Gojira101 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 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. Quote
Xigfrid Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 This is a brilliant fix. anybody willing to put up the plastic nubs on shapeways ? 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 Quote

no3Ljm Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 hehe!! If I did that then I would be buying everything and be broke and living on the street! 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. Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Nice! You got it from Arcadia or HLJ? HLJ. Already have one....but I always want 2. Quote
