Edit>> I was in a real hurry, so my original post was a mess. Edited December 6, 2006 by Sebastian
kensei Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) Huh? ? But how? One month earlier? I think you mean today. That fifth pic makes it look like it came straight out of this pic http://www.steelfalcon.com/Macross/Images/YF19orbit.gif Edited December 6, 2006 by kensei
eugimon Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) *drool* graham, you can post your review now Edited December 6, 2006 by eugimon
AlphaOne Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Gorgeous! It's a real beauty! But, uh, is Isamu missing some feet?
Godzilla Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Man, when you called me, Sebastian, I was like no way he has it. I need to pick me up one...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 I'm sooo glad the intake decals are tampo'd. The wings look fine to me with those angles!
anime52k8 Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Gorgeous! It's a real beauty! But, uh, is Isamu missing some feet? I was about to say... or maybe he just hase realy massive caves. it looks realy awsome.
Graham Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Heh, the old 1/72 looks really fugly next to the 1/60. Graham
Graham Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Backdoor release maybe as I don't see any BW sticker on the box! Graham
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) lol I guess it's a bit much to think 'back-door' releases ain't gonna happen with something this "BIG" coming out. Well the feet don't worry me much at all, as the whole suit looks beefy and soughta "Super-Deformed". I like it! Edited December 6, 2006 by ruskiiVFaussie
Graham Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 I'm not allowed to post my review until the oofficial date unfortunately. Graham
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 That's fair enough, we know your itching to post it.
recon Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Lucky b#$tid!!. Quick sebastian, give us a short of review of the workmanship, paint job and lastly the joints, wether are they rigid or loose in battroid, valkyrie and gerwalk? Tks Hope to receive mine sometime this week or next.
big F Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Looks good. Im going to have to get one when Im in Japan now.
Ivan Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Backdoor release maybe as I don't see any BW sticker on the box! Graham Do backdoor release have QC issues?
Graham Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 A back door release is identical to the genuine retail release. They are both from the same production run. The only difference is the back door version has no Big West licensor sticker. Sebastian's one is definitely backdoor. I just spoke with Yamato and no shops should have it for sale yet. Graham

Graham You know Sebastian... he's a backdoor lover... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=58...=backdoor+lover
Dante74 Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 I was hoping that seeing pics of peoples YF-19 would keep me from wanting it for myself untill a second production run, but it did just the opposite. I WANT ONE!!!!111
Dante74 Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 The rear landing gear looks kind of weird. Does it use the same system the VF-0 does?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) Yeah it's like the tyres aren't inline, looks crooked to me too. Edited December 6, 2006 by ruskiiVFaussie
Twoducks Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Heh, the old 1/72 looks really fugly next to the 1/60. Graham I feel sad for the poor 1/72 when looking at that pic
Macross73 Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Very nice. I thought that the color would be lighter though.
kensei Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 I feel sad for the poor 1/72 when looking at that pic He looks so inferior doesn't he? He's now beginning to lose the $300 USD price tag status.
Macross73 Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) Very nice. Why do the legs looks short on the Pilot figure? I thought that the color would be lighter too, more white than cream. edit: i thought that it was white in the movie i guess it just looked that way compared to the 21 and the 11b just checked ebay and its already on sale, # 220056837182 "This is an original product and given to main distributors and wholesalers prior the official release." http://cgi.ebay.com/On-Hand-Macross-1-60-Y...1QQcmdZViewItem Edited December 6, 2006 by Macross73
kensei Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 May I ask what shelf you are using Seb? It looks related to a Detloff, but with more width.

ghostryder Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Great... I was doing fine looking at the Yamato promo shots, convinced I did not want this toy. Sebastian's pics make it look better at every angle...
Dante74 Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 May I ask what shelf you are using Seb? It looks related to a Detloff, but with more width. I noticed the same thing. They look like Detolf but better.
jenius Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 I noticed the same thing. They look like Detolf but better. Agreed, I'd much rather have those then my Detolfs! I'll still probably end up going custom but some cheap alternatives in the meantime would be greatly appreciated. If anybody knows of any cheap large display cases they need to start sharing! It looks a little more cannonfodder brown to me than I'd like, I'm a fan of it looking almost white but it seems to be in line with the 1/72 release color wise so whatever. Hopefully a future paint variation is white.
kensei Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 I jsut love the extra width. It's perfect for storing stuff along the shelf and reduces congestion with the toy displays. I looked up the Detloff for any of it's offshoots, but nothing.
VF-19 Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 I jsut love the extra width. It's perfect for storing stuff along the shelf and reduces congestion with the toy displays. I looked up the Detloff for any of it's offshoots, but nothing. It looks like a custom Detolf. I'm seeing the two back panels from the detolf, as well as the two side bars that the glass planes lay on. But I can't wait for my YF-19...
Sebastian Posted December 6, 2006 Author Posted December 6, 2006 Huh? ? But how? One month earlier? I think you mean today. Yeah, sorry I was in a real hurry wen I posted the pictures... now I am in a nice tropical Island so I can get drunk while I tipe! YAY!! That fifth pic makes it look like it came straight out of this pic Yeah... they copied my pose. Man, when you called me, Sebastian, I was like no way he has it. I need to pick me up one... Yeah... youshould take me more serioulsly... but is same with my wife so I am used to it Backdoor release maybe as I don't see any BW sticker on the box! Yep, that's rite...
