Chronocidal Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Hmm... Good thing I have a bit saved, cause I can't stop drooling.. this'll be my "end of the term" present to myself for surviving through finals week. I would absolutely love to see the supernova schemes though... dunno if I could afford it, but who knows? Now, the big question.. think they'd consider doing a scheme like this?
rdenham Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Since I have used Ebay & HLJ for most of my recent Yamato purchases I am unfamiliar with "neova" & "BBTS" what are their web address?
Dobber Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 (edited) Graham, If Yamato can indlued an extra set of canards with the 19, why couldn't they just Tampo print the Skulls on the Stabs of the VF-0a and inclued an extra set with the Bunny printed on it. The stabs conme out easy enough. The one thing they Yamato hasn't seemed to figured out yet is that their stickers SUCK!!! Chris Edited November 30, 2006 by Dobber

I'm sure Graham has brought that to Yamato's attention, but i'm curious about what was their reason? But to be fair, i think all mass produced toy's stickers are pretty bad. Even the non-foil Gundam stickers (which i have no idea why they include stickers when all of them could just be easily included in the decal sheet) were pretty bad as well.
Mechamaniac Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 So the chunk behind the seat comes out eh? Cool, here's hoping that the FP/Fold Booster release will also include a second seat and a teeny Yang figure.
jenius Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Cool, here's hoping that the FP/Fold Booster release will also include a second seat and a teeny Yang figure. I believe Graham confirmed this.

Kyp Durron Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 So... How big is this joker gonna be? Looking at the pics, if that box is the same size as my VF-0S and they had to put that puppy in at an angle, it's gonna be huge!! -Kyp
Graham Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Pretty big. About the same hight as the 1/60 VF-0 in battroid mode and about 1cm longer than the VF-0 (excluding pitot tube) in fighter mode. I've got some good pics of it in Battroid mode, standing next to the 1/60 VF-0A and 1/48 VF-1S. Graham
Kyp Durron Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Cool!! It will look great next to my VF-0S then...kinda like old v.s. new. -Kyp
Macross73 Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 That pretty big. When will you be able to post those pics?
Macross73 Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 (edited) i hate waiting.... edit: sp too impatient to type correctly Edited December 1, 2006 by Macross73
falcon14141 Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 (edited) The section behind the pilot seat is removeable. The Fold Booster set will include FPs,Yang + seat. Graham I have the feeling we all missed something... (at least, I did) just checked back on the thread the fold booster pictures.... and it seems we could have figured that out by ourselves as a second seat and Yang figure were already included... Edited December 1, 2006 by falcon14141
kensei Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 I really excited about this simply cause it's my first Macross toy that doesn't resemble a VF-1 in any way.
Dante74 Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Damn Kensei, why did you have to give me another reason to buy a first production run YF-19?! Must... be... strong and refrain... from ordering...
Nani?! Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 I'll give you another reason, best damn yamato EVER.
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Is it out? Is it out? No? Damn! My girlfriend is going to Image Anime right now to see if she finds it. Nevermind I gave her a looooong list of posible toys. I too have been train not to order the first issue, but in case I do, is there still any e-tailer taking orders?
do not disturb Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Is it out? Is it out? No? Damn! My girlfriend is going to Image Anime right now to see if she finds it. Nevermind I gave her a looooong list of posible toys. I too have been train not to order the first issue, but in case I do, is there still any e-tailer taking orders? i doubt she'll find it there since it comes out on the 7th and its only the 1st. not to mention the shipping time from HK to the US before IA receives it. the only company stillt aking orers is maybe BBTS, i can't think of anyone else at the moment...
emajnthis Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 toy-wave is still taking preorders it seems at $150 before shipping.
David Hingtgen Posted December 1, 2006 Author Posted December 1, 2006 Everyone might want to go check this thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=20932 Out of box pics in battroid mode of final version.
wldr Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Looks like a pretty sweet toy. I like the articulation on it.

Kyp Durron Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 So, is the Dec. 7th release date still on track? -Kyp
lechuck Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Coming back to the topic of recolours again. Would you guys buy "what if" versions of other Macross characters, for e.g. Hikaru, Roy, Max, Millia paint schemes for the YF-19? I realise some of these might be just a colour stripe here and there but I think I would buy a Hikaru version. Since we've gone the way of none canon paint schemes anyway, this shouldn't be a problem. And they might sell better than the standard "no name" versions...
ComicKaze Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 Do the wings in fighter mode look a little too short/stubby to any of you? I would sacrifice some Battroid mode looks just for longer sleeker wings.
UN Spacy Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 Naw. I just want the YF-19......and I'm pretty much burnt out with the DYRL VF-1 color scheme.
JELEINEN Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 Do the wings in fighter mode look a little too short/stubby to any of you? I would sacrifice some Battroid mode looks just for longer sleeker wings. Not this again... No. They look fine.
Chaos Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 So, if the YF-19 comes out on the 7th (I heard the 30th of Nov) how long until we see an improved second run?
jenius Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 So, if the YF-19 comes out on the 7th (I heard the 30th of Nov) how long until we see an improved second run? Do you want me to use my Magic 8 Ball or do you want to ask another member to use their's? There is no reasonable answer to that question as Yamato doesn't even know what improvements as of now might be necessary to the toy... and in the long run we might see no improvements at all.
eugimon Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 Do you want me to use my Magic 8 Ball or do you want to ask another member to use their's? There is no reasonable answer to that question as Yamato doesn't even know what improvements as of now might be necessary to the toy... and in the long run we might see no improvements at all. mine says: don't count on it. So, I don't know what to tell you chaos, it doesn't look good.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 Well i'm on me way back home via Tokyo around the 12th so i blimmin well hope there is a couple of 19's waiting in Akihabara for me!
