Shaorin Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I can't believe these valks are costing more than a PS3. look at it this way; i could have bought THREE of these criminally overpriced bastards with how much these two Audio components cost me, about a year ago; http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll310/shaorin-chan/PIONEER%20PD-91/PD-91JOHN5-29-112.jpg http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll310/shaorin-chan/PIONEER%20PD-91/PD-91CD-RAdjustment10-29-111.jpg http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll310/shaorin-chan/PIONEER%20PD-91/PD-91MacG11-26-102.jpg http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll310/shaorin-chan/MacGyver%20System%202011/VSX-D1SJohn9-20-11.jpg http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll310/shaorin-chan/MacGyver%20System%202011/VSX-D1S4.jpg -it was more than worth it, though;between the two of them. my music/AV sources have never sounded sweeter, and my overall Hi-Fi / A/V system has never looked better, to my eyes, at least...

Loop Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I received my shipping notification @ 3:55am PST. Can't wait to get my grubby hands on it. Quote

Andy NYK Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 On it's way out, finally. A Christmas gift from my wife. oh, my god. i'd like to have a wife like yours for x'mas, lol. So is anyone planning to get this and a Sound Booster? VF-19S Fire Blazer Custom customize the sound booster into some kind of miniature macross cannon^^ Quote
Chronocidal Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Whee, got my shipping notice this afternoon. Saying it will be here on the 5th, but if it's anything like last time, I might have it by friday. Quote
raptormesh Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 /Watches with envy. Glad they are going to deserving homes. Too bad I spent my budget on board games this holiday season. Will wait for pics! Quote
biggooftoybox Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Saw the 19S at CTMA today. Didn't ask how much... Waiting for my usual shop to carry it... I'm so glad i saw your post, i was just about to give up. I was actually at MongKok area last night but only went to Inn's Point in Yau Ma Tei and skipped Sino and CTMA since i was there on Monday. I didn't think they would stock the next day since everyone i had asked on monday had no clue. Which store/level in CTMA ha the VF-19S? I'm hoping to get it before i leave HKG on Friday. At least hope to get better pricing than HLJ and save myself on shipping. Thanks Quote
VF5SS Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Mine has shipped too. Maybe expect a review~ Quote
Tking22 Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Ho ho ho a shipping notice for me as well, I was kind of panicking when I saw everyone else posting about shipping notices and I hadn't gotten mine yet, I thought I had missed the pre-order or something. Quote
UN Spacy Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Perhaps Yamato should show the same care for their Macross toys like they did with their high end Patlabor's. IIRC the box art was better, each piece was individually wrapped, encased in silk, and didn't they include white gloves too? Quote
Jasonc Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 oh, my god. i'd like to have a wife like yours for x'mas, lol. Yeah, she's great. We just tell each other what we want, and make it easy. She knew I wanted the 19S, and so, bam, paid for. Whee, got my shipping notice this afternoon. Saying it will be here on the 5th, but if it's anything like last time, I might have it by friday. Mine says the same thing. I may see it on Saturday I think. 4 days is usual from my experience. Quote
jenius Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Wow... looks like I got some quick shipping. Estimated delivery date: 11/30. Neat! Quote

At least hope to get better pricing than HLJ and save myself on shipping. Thanks I saw it on 1/F of CTMA. I believe the other shops are beginning to carry it too, one or two days delay is common. Argh! I think my usual vendor won't carry it until Sat. But his price is almost always the best. And nice guy too. Quote
Chronocidal Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Wow... looks like I got some quick shipping. Estimated delivery date: 11/30. Neat! That's kinda crazy, but awesome if they pull it off. Which shipping method did you use? Best I've seen was my v.2 Alto, took about 60 hours total to get to the Fedex place here. I've been using Fedex for a while since they stay open longer, and I can get my packages after work. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 I got a Zoid from HLJ in like 20 hours once. It was like it was boxed, driven to the airport and went right into a plane, flew direct to O'Hare then went straight to a truck across the midwest to my house. Quote
jenius Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 I used fedex and am near san francisco... Package got to my office at 9:30am... Crazy fast. Quote
Reïvaj Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Looking forward to your review, jenius! Quote
jenius Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 man, I was going to post a different review tonight... Guess that'll have to wait while I play with this new hotness. Quote
charger69 Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 man, I was going to post a different review tonight... Guess that'll have to wait while I play with this new hotness. Pictures or didn't happen Quote
Raptor One Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Why are there no pics of this up yet?? #FirstWorldProblems Quote
anime52k8 Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 I haven't gotten a shipping notice yet... WHY HASN'T IT SHIPPED YET!?!?! Quote
Archer Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Are all your emoticon pics related to My Little Poniez?! First the avatar, and now this! Quote
Archer Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) I'm sorry this has gotten so off tangent, but that was hilarious! roflcopter is flying high today! Edited December 1, 2011 by Archer Quote
Loop Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Mine made it into customs, can't tell when though. I shipped it via EMS, and the USPS site tracks pretty badly. Quote
jenius Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Have your cotton cloth handy... there's lots of mold release on mine... most I've ever seen on a toy. I imagine the dark blue just makes it more visible... but yeah, you can actually see it caked on, not just feel it. Obviously it wipes right off, I've never really understood why it bothers people so much. Quote
Chronocidal Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Well, it's only a real problem when it keeps tampos from sticking, which is why it was such an issue from the v.1 VF-25. Fortunately, the VF-19 doesn't really have any markings that are in risky areas as far as I remember. Possibly the nose markings, but the rest are fairly in the clear during transformation. Quote
Jasonc Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Yeah, I've never had an issue with the mold release stuff. Simple wipe down works great. Remember that VF-19 Kai review, where that one guy was saying how disgusting the toy was because it's so caked on, and he didn't want to touch it? F!@#ing wipe it off (not said to anyone here). And I agree, as long as it doesn't screw with tampo printing, if that's the only issue, it's non importante. Quote
Mommar Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Mine made it into customs, can't tell when though. I shipped it via EMS, and the USPS site tracks pretty badly. Did one of the two sites tell you it was in customs? Mine left Monday via EMS but I've got no indication it's held in customs yet. Quote
ErikElvis Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Somebody's got to have some real pics by now! Quote
