Recommended Posts

Just saw at HLJ..... Only "first version" of YF-19 (alone) available...

Does Graham or anybody else knows if a new batch will be released?

Thanks!

It's pretty standard Yamato operating procedure. They make X amount of them, they sell out, then a year or so later they make another batch. It's doubtful your boat has permanently sailed.

Keep your eyes open, it's popular so they will eventually reissue it. I advise you to stay patient and wait until a pre-order opens up on HLJ or a different shop you trust (I advise against Hobby Search).

Some places over here in Hong Kong still carry them, the only problem is that shipping cost a bomb!

I believe Yamato will soon release the combo pack again but I doubt they will release the satnd alone Fast Pack/Fold Booster.

When you're almost dying to get one, Yamato would have released another batch. Same as with the FAST Packs back then and the Max and Millia's and especially the Roy VF-1S. The only thing that I am still waiting for is the bloody super VF-1J Hikaru.

the only way i can imagine Yamato not re-releasing this is if they are towards the end of their Macross contract and moving on to another big anime license.

the chances of this though...slim to none.

hmm.. i'm kinda glad i got one of the combo even though i already have five YF19s. keeping this one in a minty sealed box just in case they do stop making it.. sigh glad i also picked up a few FP to go with the remaining individual valks..

Not long ago, HLJ listed this as discontinued for about a week or so and then listed it in stock again for about a week or two and then back again. I do not think it is really discontinued. Although, on the yamato japan site, it is still there but without shopping cart option so maybe it is discontinued? I wish I had been able to afford one when I had the chance. Beautiful valk for sure. Now I guess I will have to wait for the supernova version.
