I agree, they even opened mine up and inspected it for a broken wing before shipping to me.
-
That last pic is B.A.D.A.S.S.
-
Ah, no. Because the Yamato VF-19 exists and the Arcadia YF-19 is being compared to that thing. Not the old, busted, Yamato YF-19.
-
The Arcadia YF-19 is better.
-
What did you do to the ankles?
-
Which is a bit ironic considering the V2 19 series is superior to the old Yamato YF-19 and yet with this new addition they completely forgot to add locks, just like on the old V1's. History repeating.
-
None of the ankles on my six 25's, three 171's or my 29 are loose in any way. If you want to talk about the hips, that's a whole other story. On my Yammies, all three 19's, all three 17's and now the Arcadia 19. If Bandai ankles are going bad too that needs to be recorded in reviews as well.
-
Considering how many people have had problems with the looseness of just their YF-19 ankles, to say nothing of the previous three releases, a side comment "they're loose, but they work" is a brush off for a bigger problem. He took a pic of the 29 right next to the 19. Are the 29's ankles loose but they work? Has anybody had problems with the ankles on their Isamu 29? I think it's valid to compare and contrast and say, hey, these ankles are not stable enough. Bandai got it right, Arcadia continues where Yamato left off by getting it wrong again. Even if he didn't own a single other 19 (which he obviously does from the photos) it seems like a brush off. People need to know they're still problematic.

I agree, I do not think it was an honest review.
-
I suppose if the panels on all sides of the arm can open without the hand inside the forearm there would be room for all of that stuff.
-
I don't believe they ever will but I agree with this.
-
It would also take more than just this as the lower inner calves are different to accommodate the different stabilizers between the two types of planes. Plus the hips are shaped different and would require attachment points for the smaller forward stabilizers on the Delta that aren't on the swept wing fighters. That would require a ton of dismantling and parts-swapping. I like the idea, but no way it's happening.
-
He means to have it open and close. Not to transform between modes. It can't close and open because the stuff that pops out is too large.
-
They wouldn't be able to do that scene anyway, Mark Hamil can't move that well anymore. -

What's wrong with the "villain" in Cap? It worked perfect IMO. Appropriate too. -
Were the 1/48's that cheap then!?!?

Actually, I did the best measurements I could on the swing bar. It looks like it's mounted ever so slightly off on the left versus the right. Or vice versa. It's slight, I'm not sure many have noticed, but it really does affect the angle of the wings, in all three modes, and the position of the main bar that mounts in the wing root is such that the wings can't ever be aligned quite straight. It isn't just on mine, well, it's on the two I've received however I can clearly see it in Bats photos as well. The bigger problem is it makes the wings look like one is slightly stubbier than the other. I would argue this is an engineering issue. To be honest, the rear stabilizers on the VF-4 were ever so slightly off as well but it was so minor I had to strain to notice and it didn't matter. But with the YF-19 the moment I took it out of the package something about it just seemed off. I had to turn it over and adjust things several times until I realized that, essentially, the inclusion of the High Speed mode has lead to the wings being off by just enough I can notice it. The 19P doesn't have this issue. For all I know the length's of the metal bars in the wings are off. And maybe not every batch is off, but on at least five of these things I've noticed the inconsistency and it has always been on the left wing.

Might pay attention to other posts in this thread more. I'm hardly alone.
-
Never buy another toy again? Problem?
-
It's actually a pretty big deal getting them symmetrical at their correct angle.
-
I see the metal, it tells me nothing about the actual functionality though.
-
Just nick the best bits and forget the rest. We got some new, good music and the concept of dual-sided lightsabers. The Pod Racing Game was kind of cool. Etc, etc...
-
https://flic.kr/p/n9BhmM Anybody notice how the left and right wings on BAT's 19 aren't at the same angle? Both the broken and replacement 19 I got are like this as well. Drives me bonkers looking at it all lopsided like that.

Given the number of movies a certain cast member has been contracted for I'd just assume something of that nature was going to happen. -
Boy, did they get that speculation wrong...
