Mizicke5273 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Was this brand new in the box? Who was the seller? Bought it from Ebay, new in the box and unopened. Might actually go after a VF-19P now.....who knows though. Quote
miro79 Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Geez the vf-19f I ordered from Amazon that was shipped by them but was sold by another seller just came in today. The old lady started threatening a divorce and we got into a big old fight. What tops it all off was they shipped a 19s. REALLY , I should of guessed 263 shipped was too good a deal. More over if I keep it I'm throwing away 80 bucks. Great wow...hope this is not to personal, but since you told us here... You shouldn't be worried about recieving the wrong order, or throwing away 80 bucks.. be worried about your marriage. Thats something, no toy in the world is worth ruining it. but thats just my own opinion. Quote
Kurisama Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 ^ agreed, no valk (any hobby) is worth losing a partner. I'd melt down all my valks if it meant keeping the one I love - and the one who loves me. Maybe not my customs, I'd hide them somewhere. Quote
Mommar Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 So here's the thing, does she always get mad when you buy something for yourself? And how often do you buy things for yourself versus for her? Second, does she dislike all of your collecting habits, or are your collecting habits TOO much? Because if it's the first of both of those, and only the first, she might not be the right woman anyway. Quote
Reïvaj Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 ... she might not be the right woman anyway. !!! Please let's go back on topic!!! Quote
Mommar Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I still can't identify where to look for those cracks on my 19's. I'm especially curious about my 19P since it took a dive off a shelf. Quote

They are underneath the cockpit section. When you bend the cockpit down during the battroid transformation, they are right there. Quote
Mizicke5273 Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Got the hinges that were made for the YF-19 in yesterday, and got to modding them today. They needed to be substantially sanded down and the result is that they barely catch the tabs. With that being said, you could possibly reduce the amount needed to be sanded away, by boring out the screw hole. As that is the reason why I needed to sand so much of the back of the hinges off, as the screw holes would not line up. Quote
VF5SS Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 I started working on the new hinge part. I don't think it will be as difficult to get working because this has fewer tricky curves. Quote
Shaorin Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) suppose that this might be an issue with all 1/60 VF-19s down the road? my initial copy has been through a jillion transformations by now, without even the slightest hint of a problem in this area, let alone any other. this just a simple isolated case perhaps? bad molding?

Busted VF1A Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 19F hinge.jpg I started working on the new hinge part. I don't think it will be as difficult to get working because this has fewer tricky curves. Oh, Sweet godsend. My aluminium ones keep failing to fit properly, and I need to start from scratch each time I mess up. Quote

It seems like a far less frequent issue then the YF-19 hinge issues. Mine broke due to my cat knocking it off a shelf, not because of wear during transformation. Aside from the very few I've seen in this thread, I've not heard of this happening. Quote
Mommar Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 I still don't understand where this piece is as I'd like to check my 19P that took a spill. Quote

SaitouSad Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Quick heads up. HLJ's daily sales today has listed the VF-19S Emerald Force for a pretty decent pricehttp://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00224/SciAnd for anybody who still doesn't own the Macross Quarter, it's been lowered slightly more Quote

Edited June 12, 2013 by Shaorin Quote
Mizicke5273 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Awesome, thanks for the heads up about the Quarter. Been wanting one, but decided to wait and pick it up last. Good thing I waited, that price is too good to pass up! Even after all that I spent already this month. Quote
Falcon Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 still not as good as HKC, but a decent enough alternative for if and when HKC's stock dries up... But with shipping would it still be cheaper? I'm wondering because I also have items in my HLJ warehouse. Quote
grymg Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Shipping for HKC is running at around $24. However the yen is getting stronger so HLJ might be more expensive anyway even with the combined shipping. HKC prices aren't based on the yen. Quote
skullmilitia Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Anyone got a picture of the 19P with the Sound booster? Quote
3D-Brainx Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Anyone got a picture of the 19P with the Sound booster? There's one o two somewhere on this thread. Don't remember who posted them or when. Quote
anubis20 Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Anyone got a picture of the 19P with the Sound booster? Quote
VF5SS Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Well this part is basically ready to go. They will need to have all of their edges sanded down because right now it stays in place without the need of the screw. It's a snug fit. Quote
VF5SS Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 http://www.shapeways.com/model/1133711/19f-hinge.html All set for fixin'! Quote
VF5SS Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 You guys may need to reorder the part because shapeways cannot just upload one of my models without utterly F-UCKIN' it up somehow Quote
Mizicke5273 Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 ORDERED!!! Same, two sets of both black and the polished. This is awesome; thank you for taking the time! Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Is the neck hinge a common or just isolated issue? I've check my 19S and19F and they both are ok. But I've only transformed twice. Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 I think we've only seen one or two cases of it, and I believe one was dropped off a shelf to cause the damage in the first place. I wouldn't say it's wide-spread at all, but it's something that can happen if the right pressure is applied. The VF-19's nose is just much easier to detach than the YF-19's, and the plastic is also a higher quality. Quote
Busted VF1A Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 The shelf dropped one was mine... damn cat... Anyway, Shapeways just canceled my order for the part in black. They said that they couldn't make it in that material, so I reordered in the basic unpolished white. If I don't like them that rough, I may reorder in polished white. Quote
