Raptor One Posted October 3, 2011 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
anime52k8 Posted October 3, 2011 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. Edited October 3, 2011 by anime52k8 Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 3, 2011 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
valhary Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 sorry Raptor One only found the vf 19s pics no news of the 17 Quote
Reïvaj Posted October 3, 2011 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

Old Man Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 HLJ has Preorders up as well. http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00224 Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted October 3, 2011 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. Edited October 3, 2011 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote
kamadoma Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Glorious. And to think I was about to pass on this because I'm more excited for the 17. Quote
numagus99 Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) amiami has their preorder up as well. AmiAmi Edited October 3, 2011 by numagus99 Quote
anime52k8 Posted October 3, 2011 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. Edited October 3, 2011 by anime52k8 Quote
kamadoma Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 So is anyone annoyed that the hand panels are the same? Quote
anime52k8 Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 No. it's more of that awesome blue on the toy. end of discussion. Quote
Raptor One Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Not really, should be an easy fix. If I'm gonna nitpick I do wish the head lasers were a bit more gray, the white makes them look unfinished. Quote
Reïvaj Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 So is anyone annoyed that the hand panels are the same? Certainly not me. I like the toy’s overall representation better than the line art so I don’t care too much about that. Quote

That's a good point and I hadn't considered that before pre-ordering at amiami. Quote
Reïvaj Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Here are some new pics. These pictures are smaller than the ones Valhary posted before. See here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=35341&view=findpost&p=931794 Quote
VF5SS Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 There's a secret to getting the raw pics from Yamato's site. but I'll never tell :3 Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted October 3, 2011 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. Edited October 3, 2011 by MacrossJunkie Quote

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. 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?? Mirrored comparison shot The feet is too small. lol Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted October 3, 2011 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

Reïvaj Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 The feet is too small. lol A can't avoid the feeling of déjà vu... Maybe it’s due to the fact this issue’s been extensively debated in another Yamato VF-19 thread… Quote
Arthurius Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 I keep coming back to relook at the photoshop pics of the new vf-19S, it is jaw dropping, honnestly, i think this is the nicest pictures of batroid mode a a valk i have ever seen. Simply incredible look. Too bad it is 255$ US before shipping.... Quote

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

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
VF-18S Hornet Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Just pre-ordered mine. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! Quote
DarkHawk Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 I am familiar with macross 7 as I have some of the bandai valkyries. However, I dont know the characters. Who is the pilot of this valkyrie? Quote
