kensei 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! I got a mission for ya. Capture and ship those available in Akibara-whatever and ship them to my address! Aussie intelligence depends on it. We will do a full QC analysis before we alert our team and allow them for the get go.
Kyp Durron 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? Well, let's just hope that Yamato has learned enough to make this one right from the get-go. Mine is already paid for and if Graham says that it's tight all around, then I will take him at his word till I get mine and see for myself. 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. I don't know what you're talking about...it looks awesome to me. -Kyp
Chaos 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? I'm not asking for clairvoyance. Let me restate, and I'll be precise so I don't confuse anyone: In the past, several Yamato valkyries showed shortcomings associated with the first production run. These issues were partially or completly resolved in later runs. What was the amount of time, in the past, that it took for Yamato to produce these improved second runs? I intend to use this number to speculate on the time it takes for Yamato to improve on currently theoretical YF-19 shortcomings. Let me know if I need to post a third version with smaller words.

I intend to use this number to speculate on the time it takes for Yamato to improve on currently theoretical YF-19 shortcomings. Let me know if I need to post a third version with smaller words. so you want us to speculate on unknown fixes to unknown problems... well, given that we don't know: yamatos budget on the yf-19 retooling costs if there are problems extent of the problems nature of the problems (is it a materials issue? a design issue? quality control issue) the interest of yamato in resolving those issues if the yf-19 will do well enough to justify a resissue if yamato will be in business if yamato will be bought out by sanrio and only make hello kitty if japan will be destroyed in a catastrophic earthquake between now and then if the world will be destroyed because a giant asteroid was not split by a crack team of miners and astronauts I'd say Jenius' referral to the magic eight-ball wasn't so far off. Now, why don't you run along back to the yamato sucks thread you little troll?
Dante74 Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 You forgot to mention the things we DO know. let's see. Yamato is going to release the 1/60 YF-19 on the 7th of december... ...Graham says it's going to be tight... ... ... Nope, can't think of anything else.
Mog Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 There's a few other things we DO know: ...Fast Packs and Fold Booster are supposed to come out sometime in the first half of 2007 (Feb. or April '07 if my "I'm too lazy to check back of few pages on this thread" memory serves me correctly) ...And we're all gonna die...........eventually. Just sit tight; I'm sure there's a bunch of guinea pigs (including yours truly) that'll give you 2nd release waiters all the feedback you want once we get our hands on the YF-19 in the next few weeks.

Chaos Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 (edited) EDIT: Nevermind, I found the info. Definately getting the first run, cause I don't feel like waiting that long. It'll look great with my other Yammies. Edited December 4, 2006 by Chaos

Still waiting on the very much needed VF-0S 2nd release. The VF-0A fixed a lot of the VF-0S flaws. If you look to the past, or ask others to do it for you, you'll see that Yamato tends to release an improved variant or two before going back and doing a 2nd release of anything.

aaajin Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Ill buy the 2nd version Vf-0s only, and only if they come with tampo printings like the 1st version. If not, I'd rather pass...
promethuem5 Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I didn't get a VF-0S and am hoping for a second run, but Graham says Yamato's gonna work harder on the QC for the 19, and the 19's my favorite, so I'll be damned if I'm waiting for this one... just counting down the days now.
kensei Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 3 days to go. It would be wonderful if they realise that QC is an important issue regarding toys.

Briareos Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 3 days to go. I think we need a countdown script. The YF-19 so much deserves a midnight launch party. I'd be waiting on the line in the freezing cold for the stores to open.
do not disturb Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 3 days to go. so they say... i know i ain't holding my breath!
kensei Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I should hope at least, Graham stays up until 11:59pm on the 6th to hit the load button for the review.
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I should hope at least, Graham stays up until 11:59pm on the 6th to hit the load button for the review. His post at that time will consist of : Tee Hee Hee! Its 2359hrs here so its still the 6th. Which means I can't post the review yet! Tee Hee Hee! Or something like that...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) Well the box is suitable enough. Not too big. Nothing flashy, the Yamato way. The front flap cover is ok for the freaks that display the mintyness on their shelves. And the 19 looks safe enough in it's snug plastic holder thinghy. The wings look fine you haters. From the above look down view angle im looking at. (a pic, not the valk in my hands!) It's ok! *lowers the yamato box hater stick of doom* Edited December 5, 2006 by ruskiiVFaussie
VFTF1 Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) Hi everybody! This is my first post. I'm generally a Transformers collector, but used to play the Robotech Role Playing games as a kid and had fond memories of the Macross: Do You Remember Love movie... Anyways... I got into collecting Macross/Robotech toys only last year, and my collection is no where as big as some peoples... But I do have the YF-19 preordered at HLJ... and was wondering when in December it would come out...well... I guess now I know 2 days huh? Does that mean HLJ is about to rape my credit card? Anyways, first post ... So far my favorite Valk is either my VE-1 or my Masterpiece Shadow Alpha... Am looking forward to the YF-19, since I have the YF-21 and the VF-11B....... and hello to everyone! VFTF1 Edited December 5, 2006 by VFTF1
kensei Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Not in my timezone. The review will come at the same time regardless. Graham is in my time zone, which means you get it a day earlier!

Graham Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 JUst heard from Yamato that the toys are being delivered to the shops today. From what I understand, it willbe on sale in Kotobukiya on 7 Dec and all other shops on 8 Dec, but I may be wrong about that. Graham

Graham So, does that mean you are posting your review on the 7th or the 8th? *anxiously waits*
Graham Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 7th December at about 8am HK time. Less than 24 hours to go. Graham
recon Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Hi Graham, Would you be picking up a mass release piece? Hope you could do a comparision between that of the mass released ver and that of the prototype version you have in your hands, so as to verify any discrepancies..especially the joints area, workmanship, paintjob or any areas. Tks Cheers
Graham Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 My review of the mass-release version, actually it's of two of them. What I'm reviewing is exactly the same as what you will be getting. Although I also have an early preproduction sample as well, it is not covered in the review. Graham
Edwood Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Anyone get a shipping notification from HLJ? I'm still waiting. -Ed
