SaitouSad Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 http://www.angolz.com/store/1-60-macross-plus-yf-19-8001.html Another one up for grabs. ahh, much thanks.. pity it's a tad too pricey for me... I'll have to wait and snoop around... Quote
plutoniumhunter Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 No problem SaitouSad, just chanced upon it. Well yeah... YF-19s are in low supply, hence the high price... might be someone here who would like to sell theirs maybe? Quote
Benbot Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I'd wait anyway. I think it's a sure bet that someone is going to produce a superior version of the YF-19 pretty soon. Quote
whitestar Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 http://gencolle.jp/useritem/detail/item024231 Sorry if this is a repost, but I came across this japanase site when googling for vf-19p images. Awesome decaling and line-paneling, with missiles to boot! Has anyone modded their vf-19 to be able to carry missiles? There are other valks on the site that are as well done as this. Check it out Quote
plutoniumhunter Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 That's jaw-droppingly beautiful... Oh my wallet... Quote
aceoftherebellion Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 That really is pretty... although I question the speaker+missile combo, I'd think it'd be pretty much one or the other, it looks pretty good Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Makes me want to get the VF-19P! I just got the F today and am enjoying it. I was thinking of getting the P next month. Oh wait Friday is March....next month....... Edited February 27, 2013 by Valkyrie Magnus Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Damn! I just ordered the P from NY! Oh well, it's a beautiful Valkyrie. Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 The decals look great... except the Zola patrol group wasn't associated with the UN, were they? Also, I will never understand people's love for slapping corporate logos all over military craft. Yes, you might see them on a prototype, which is what the YF-19 and YF-21 were.. but you're not going to get a stupid engine label plastered all over an in-service aircraft. Heck, that's half the reason I'm tempted to strip all the markings off my VF-171. It looks like a flying corporate billboard. Quote
plutoniumhunter Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Damn! I just ordered the P from NY! Oh well, it's a beautiful Valkyrie. Lol, that escalated quickly! Quote
whitestar Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Damn! I just ordered the P from NY! Oh well, it's a beautiful Valkyrie. Good for you! I just got mine last week and she's a beauty. One of the first things I did was to replace the Basara pilot with a spare SV-51 pilot. I'm not all that thrilled with pacifist pilots Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Lol, that escalated quickly! The VF-19F l got looked so nice I decided I wanted the P sooner than later Good for you! I just got mine last week and she's a beauty. One of the first things I did was to replace the Basara pilot with a spare SV-51 pilot. I'm not all that thrilled with pacifist pilots Hahaha I like that! Yamato did such a good job on these Valkyries it's hard not to buy them Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I'm sorry to say this, but I don't like the 19P much, maybe it is like a lot of you guys say and picture do no justice to the 19P specifically. My VF19S, VF17S and a VF1J are waiting for me at home, won't be home until saturday to open my boxes. Maybe I don't like the 19P because Basara sat on it and sang like an idiot and then a whale blew up and its blood turn it into a 19Kai suddenly and more stupid Basara singing.. I guess I would get the 19P if i have some extra cash lying around (doubt it), anyway, its probably sold out everywhere by now thanks to all you guys. Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Basically the reason I like the 19P is that it's the only VF-19 we have any hope of customizing. I never even saw the anime it's from, so I've got no attachment to the design aside from it's the least gaudy VF-19 we can buy. I have never understood why the intake covers on all the others are ridiculous colors, while the covers of practically every valkyrie ever have always been gray. I might keep one in original markings, but any others I plan to get are likely to get stripped bare and have new markings put on. Edited February 28, 2013 by Chronocidal Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I never saw the series either so to me I just like the way it looks. Quote

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the Basara schemes at all. I hate the red and yellow and I'm not very fond of the 19P scheme either. However, these are great molds so I bought the 19P mainly for that (plus the headsculpt is kickin rad). I may change out the bronze/yellow on it for something less ugly because it doesnt match the red accents at all. I may get around to getting the Kai yet...though I hate the super robot mouth Quote
plutoniumhunter Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Lol, not much Basara love here it seems... He kind of grew on me somehow... Quote
Vifam7 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I hate Basara, but I did buy a VF-19kai. I'm planning on replacing the Basara figure and decaling the fighter in a non-Macross fashion. Quote
Benbot Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I was just playing with my 19 last night and I'm still shocked at how big it is. It's huge next to the VF-1 and even the VF-25 toy. Quote
jvmacross Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Are those done by you? No, they are cels used in the making of Macross 7 and Macross Dynamite 7......just trying to counteract all the Macross 7 hate...... If you have some time to waste........more Macross 7 goodness can be had here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?app=gallery&album=600 Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Jvmacross is the cells and book master Quote
plutoniumhunter Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Ah I see... Thanks! They look great! Quote
aceoftherebellion Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 LOL, Looks like opinions on 7 are as Mixed as ever. Personally, I love Basara and am much more interested in his red Fire Valkyrie and the Zola fleet version than I am in either of the Emerald Squadron production versions... But this is what was awesome about Yamato, they made all of them so it's easy to just get the ones you like. Quote

But this is what was awesome about Yamato, they made all of them so it's easy to just get the ones you like. When I first started watching 7, I disliked it, but it really really grew on me, to the extent that my opinion is the same as yours! Everytime I look at a VF-19S, I think of Docker... which puts me off, I might buy one eventually though, since it's close to VF-1S level prices for now... Quote
aceoftherebellion Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Exactly that. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Docker or anything, I thought he was kind of a cool character, but his VF-19 is pretty much dead last on my list of 7 mechs to buy... and I'd only be getting it to set up group-shot photos with Basara and Gamlin valkyries. I mean it's a pretty enough robot... I like the blue and all but eh. Quote
whitestar Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 The decals look great... except the Zola patrol group wasn't associated with the UN, were they? I remember reading somewhere that Planet Zola was UN colony, or something like that. Also, I think I saw the lineart for the VF-19p in the Master File book that had the UN Spacy logo printed on the right wing. Yeah, I'm not a fan of the Basara schemes at all. I hate the red and yellow and I'm not very fond of the 19P scheme either. However, these are great molds so I bought the 19P mainly for that (plus the headsculpt is kickin rad). I may change out the bronze/yellow on it for something less ugly because it doesnt match the red accents at all. I may get around to getting the Kai yet...though I hate the super robot mouth I'm probably one of the few that loves the VF-19 in all its versions. I totally agree that it's a great mold. My favorite out of all of Yamato's offerings. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) I always felt Docker was and unnecessary poor antagonist to Gamlin and a made the VF-19 look useless since they were supposed to be superior to the VF-17 in every way, unlike how Max and Miria kicked ass in their VF-22S. Back on topic, never saw the 19P as a canvas for customization, would be really kickass to see an awesome scheme on the 19P, the only thing that I have towards the 19P is the wings design is more close to the YF-19, VF-19A instead of the near inverted delta of the VF-19S/F which I thought made the fighter look fat.

I totally agree that it's a great mold. My favorite out of all of Yamato's offerings. My understand is that it wasn't a colony world so much as a recently encountered 'friendly' world that had recently been contacted and brought into the fold as a part of the U.N. government, with their planetary defense force working under the U.N.Spacy. If they weren't a part of the U.N.Spacy, it seems unlikely that they'd have been supplied with a unit as new as the VF-19... Quote
miro79 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) didn't get to preorder the rvf-25, but picked up this beauty today from customs instead. My very first macross toy. I'm happy! quick snapshot with some of its new friends Edited March 1, 2013 by miro79 Quote
miro79 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 on my vf-19s the rear gear bay doors require some force to open up, and they make a frightening snapping noise when they finally move... is that common with these toys? also the diecast sliding joint on one arm is pretty loose... Quote
xrentonx Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I noticed the same with my doors so outside of doing it the one time i leave them be. Quote
Scyla Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Hm I remember that in one of Veefs VF-19 reviews the doors of the landing gear make a snapping sound when you close them. Not sure if thats the same noise you describe. Quote

Just re-watched the VF-19 Kai review from jenius and the landing gear doors make some really loud snap noises. He also mentioned that you should be careful with the Gewalk joint because there might break a delimiter. Give it a watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFsvmis4dKQ&list=UUwLPOZ_xJKKVkcaE4DMM9cw Quote
