Could it be that overall the mac 7 designs are just thicker and chunkier overall though? The yf-19 doesn't have those beefy 'pants' of the fire and blazer valk and make it look like it's got unnecessary crap stuck to its body and instead has a slimmer frame. Those ugly 'bumper bars' lines near the feet make it look overall bulkier and more rounded. If it has more volume it feels stronger. Couple that with the hollow feel of the yf-19 due to having empty space for the hinges of the wings to go for the high speed gimmick. It's just a lighter robot overall.

The landing gear doors do feel thinner though.

Just pick up mine, before transforming it, just but visual inspection, first problem I got is the head unit slightly mis-aligned to its neck, see if I can unscrew it and move it back to center.

Now I going to transform it the first time and see if there are any QC issue.

So for those who have been getting theirs from HLJ -- how fast have they been shipping these things out? Are they turning them out pretty quick or sitting on them for a few days? I've got one sitting in Private Warehouse, but am debating on asking them to ship it.

Ive bought 2 on separate ocassions from HLJ. My original one with 7 other items in my PW shipped on Saturday less than 24 hours after payment. I bought another one yesterday and it shipped today.

Did you use EMS? How quickly did it get to you from shipping to door? I noticed you live in Bowie so I figured our ship times would be similar.

Ship time from HLJ to my doorstep in TX is always 4 days. (using EMS) As in they ship on Sunday, I'm picking up on Wednesday, well Thursday AM if I miss the drop-off attempt on Wednesday. I have had it be 3 days a couple of times. That blew my mind.

Ok My left foot is weak and the outward sway on the hips isn't the best..... <_< Like to splay her legs if you try to do much more than stand straight. Good things she's pretty.

Wait, are you still talking about the YF-19 :huh: ?

Thanks Derex. By the way, been meaning to ask you -- where did you get your avatar pic from?

Fedex on the first one got here on Tuesday. This one is EMS so ill let you know if I get it either Tuesday or Wednesday.

See, I just gotta disagree with you man. It feels fine to me, though a different texture to the VF's to be sure. I actually find the weight, size and texture hugely satisfying.

I think It might just be, due to it being the first "New" 19' that's not gloss, I think the matte finish is throwing me off. To be honest it feels just as nice, and solid as the Arcadia Roy VF-1. In fact the only thing that's an annoyance for me, is the rear wings are loose, but once transformed, they stay where they are. So in reality, i don't really have any complaints. It's solid in every mode,

Really? I ordered one Thursday when I thought there would be no chance of getting a replacement if I waited for the crooks to get back to me and I'm STILL waiting for them to ship the damn thing.

vrooom!!! that is hot!!! why is there ice coming out behind your tires?

i don't want to transform mine. i moved the parts just to check all the stuff around, everything you guys said is true.

the only parts that feel hollow are where the wing holders attached to the back legs. (and the little flaps under the cockpit.) everything else is rock solid.

the freaking legs joints closest to the intakes are so solid and tight to move to gerwalk. both of my feet are tight on both valks. i feel the black paint will scratch off easy in transforming them. so i'm going to wait for a video before trying. i want a fool proof way to transform them.

so far, my favorite is the yamato vf-1, that is the most solid toy, i feel, was ever made. i have out a vf-1j mass production and low viz 1s which has landed on top of my package of chips ahoy.

second is the 4g.

I pulled out one of my VF-19's to compare some of these more thin bits and see if they really are more thin or not. All of the gear bay doors are the same thickness, however I will say that the YF-19's doors don't fit as well as the VF-19 doors do. The only real difference is at the forward section beneath the cockpit. On the VF-19 part of the fuselage extends all the way to beneath the cockpit, so that explains part of it, but even still there's a very thick triangular piece which extends to the interior. On the YF-19 that thin bit is still triangular but not nearly as much. I noticed the VF-19 does fit together better. There's obvious clicks when pushing the nose into position and sliding that piece beneath the cockpit in as well. On the YF-19 it doesn't fit as well and I can't get mine to really click and lock into place like the VF-19 does.

Took my time transforming my YF-19 and snapped a few shots.

I have processed one so far, maybe I'll post a few more later. Enjoy!

(updated image, mistransformation fixed. :) )

Mine just left customs in SF so it's looking like Monday for me (possibly even next Saturday if they leave me a note).

Great pic. Have you noticed that the hips, biceps and that piece under the uniboob are a bit mistransformed?

Shield and gunpod too.

I noticed mistransformation after I had taken the the pictures. :(

I was just glad to have gotten it to that point without breaking anything. I'll retake photos tomorrow. :)

Great pic. I really wish the gunpod were the correct color though, then it would look even better.

I see you painted on grey lines.
