Raptor One Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) I'm impatient so I did a very quick and very crappy mockup of what the 19F might look like. Edited October 3, 2011 by Raptor One Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) that's such a pretty shade of blue they're using. It's like a slightly richer, glossier version of the blue on the YF-21 (who's color I love). I'm glad they didn't go with a lighter blue.

UN Spacy Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Looks awesome...but I'm torn between the S and F. I can't get both with the VF-17S coming in December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reïvaj Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Not that it’s of any importance but looking at the pictures it looks like the die-cast back piece is slightly different as to not to be able to hold the Kai’s sound booster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) Apart from the massive knee armor and fatter arms in the lineart the toy looks to be accurate. Good job. just got to wait for misterfanwank's youtube review before I take the plunge. Just kidding lol I think everyone on macrossworld should subscribe to his channel though. Yeah and there is a gap in the chest. Come on give bandai credit where credit is due. The little 1/100 still looks better in that one area.

anime52k8 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) I went with HLJ, it's only a 2% difference on the list price and HLJ's shipping is typically 20% cheaper. I'm probably going to have to skip the VF-17 and anything Bandai puts out for the next year but I don't really care, it's that pretty.

MacrossJunkie Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) There's a secret to getting the raw pics from Yamato's site. but I'll never tell :3 Well, I'm not sure about your method, but one easy way is to just pull the info right from your browser's cache Load all the pics in the viewer and then look in the cache. For Firefox, just type about:cache and view the list entries. You guys would see something like "http://www.yamato-toys.com/photo_data/viewzoom/11/1956/a/001b.jpg?1317660614858" as the URL. Then download if you want. Edit: You can also pull the file from your hard drive since it should be already there. For Firefox, clicking the cache entry will also show "file on disk:" followed by its location.

MacrossJunkie Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 The feet is too small. lol If the feet were that big in battroid, it would be way too big in fighter mode. It wouldn't even fit back inside the leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm gonna nitpick I do wish the head lasers were a bit more gray, the white makes them look unfinished. I agree. I think I will tint mine with a tad bit of gray to take the edge off the stark whiteness when I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Is that 20% cheaper shipping for just SAL/ EMS or is it for FedEx too? I haven't ordered from HLJ for many many years. Is FedEx going to cost more than SAL and EMS?? HLJ wouldn't ship something like this via SAL as it has too high a list price. For EMS they automatically apply a 20% discount to the shipping cost, and in my experience HLJ tends to ship using smaller boxes and lighter packing material so there shipping prices tend to be a little lower on top of that discount. FedEx typically cost slightly more than EMS for smaller orders, but for larger/heavier orders it tends to be slightly less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
