Right, but I was confused about what was inside of them.

Have you not owned any of the Yamato VF-19's? Unless the plastic on this release is more brittle those tabs do a pretty good job holding everything together.

The listing of topics for the podcast underneath states the topic is at thirty nine minutes however it's realistically more like around forty seven or forty eight minutes. And there isn't much there. The run-down is, everything on it looked like a finished production except for the portion that holds the missile box, which was still resin. No release was given. That's it.

Shape, function, fit, materials, quality...

You may have to slide the head out and re-position it. I had this same problem with my 19F and it was because the head wasn't quite aligned and it kept pushing one of the flaps next to it up.

Maybe you should get a real camera because these are awesome now. Great photos have nothing to do with the tech and everything to do with the picture and these all look great.

The figures have some minor poseability out of the box, yes. Based on those Gamu pics I should be pretty happy with the Gerwalk mode on the YF-19 regardless of how well it stands. He got several decent poses out of it. Just got the phone call, mine arrived at home a few minutes ago too. I am, however, decidedly unimpressed with EMS compared to the ship times I have had from Fed Ex to here (since we live in the same town.)

I don't know, I find the argument that the missiles shouldn't be there because they aren't in the Animation amusing considering his primary concern has been two stripes of grey on the fuselage that also weren't in the Animation.

I am curious about that as well? Oh, on second look it closes up that gap in the shield... I'm not sure why that even matters, really.

I was only asking because after the second release people were saying they could still find a few of them around various stores after the pre-orders were up. Sounds like the Tornado Packs might have whipped up some additional frenzy.

Having a pinned thread for transformation video's would really be a good idea, especially for anyone new having trouble who stumbles across this site. I think it would be a really nice feature.

What is sold out, the 25F's? I thought that one was supposed to be relatively easy to get, what with this being the third run. Is that not the case?

SON. OF. BITCH.

That same pose with my VF-19S completely ruined the ankles. So that's good if they're staying tight like this here. You can't fold those legs at the knees any farther under and move the ankles any farther back can you? So the body of the plane is still horizontal but it's in a really tight crouch?

How many YF-19's do you have?

The VF-19's had tabs in the wing roots that locked into the upper body. Are you sure you haven't missed something? I'd be surprised if that isn't the case here.

Geeze, my 19 isn't even in Albuquerque yet...

I noticed your Gerwalk is standing almost completely level. Is it very stable in that pose, like leaving it for a day you wouldn't come back and find it had nose-dived? And if so, the ankles don't become a floppy mess after pushing them back that far? Are both the thigh and knee joints all the way forward?

Damn, talk about tight tolerances.

I would buy the HELL out of that Blue one. I am curious if something is blocking the locking mechanism. It also appears things aren't locked down further along the neck. Could something back there be out of alignment? Could somebody who has their 19 help out pipedream with pics, etc? I hope he doesn't have a problem with his.

F**cking LA Customs, this is the fifth day it's been sitting there.

I would like a redesigned Fold Booster as well. I don't feel like the color or shape of the old booster really matches this new YF-19 very well.

After looking at more pics it seems to me the diecast parts are still color-matched to the older shade of tan originally shown but it looks like they were never updated to match the newer, lighter color. What kind of decaling are you planning to do?

Press the black triangle to get it all started, drop the nose cone a bit, pull the canopy fully open, then push the nose cone back up. The black triangle will still have to remain depressed however.

The only way to fully open the cockpit is to drop the nose cone downward.
