takatoys Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Those are some lovely YF-19s! More pics please!Ok, two more before I go to sleep: Quote
eggy99 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Arcadia really should fully tampo the premium finish version. Quote
Scyla Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Arcadia really should fully tampo the premium finish version. No they shouldn't because than I would have to ask myself if it was worth buying the first release. In addition would never ever buy an Arcaida product again because I would wait for a release that includes them. Quote
wm cheng Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Those are some lovely YF-19s! More pics please! How about this one... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=35120&p=1198988 These Arcadias are getting to be too much work to look acceptable in my display... Quote
no3Ljm Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Loving it guys. Hope Arcadia will do the same on that Premium Finish released one. Quote
spanner Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 It'll have the shading / weathering but definitely wont have any more tampo or markings.. this is Arcadia we're talking about here! LOL! Quote
wmkjr Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 They will throw in waterslide decals for this one. Just to PO everyone. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 yf-19 Premium finish pre-orders projected around april, not sure yet - Mr. K Quote
matic Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Anyone know how much more the premium version will be? Yf-19 is my second favorite valk design. Quote
derex3592 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Got my 19 out today for some pics and a transformation session Edited February 22, 2016 by derex3592 Quote

barurutor Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 reissue PO up at N-Y https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/15372-macross-plus-yf-19-with-fast-packs-reissue.html sorry if it's been posted earlier, I only looked back until page 172. Quote
mooman Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Got my 19 out today for some pics and a transformation session Great pics. The details are awesome, especially that little pilot. Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Got my 19 out today for some pics and a transformation session Ooooh. That 'arm cannon'... Quote
Bub Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Has Arcadia mentioned any improvements / difference of this reissue with the first release? Quote
Offswitch Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Unfortunately, nope... Nothing announced so far. Hopefully they at least tighten up the wing bars and ankles... But chalk this up to a huge missed opportunity on Arcadia's part. Quote
mechaninac Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 ^ Yep! Expect the same weak wing bars and gimpy ankles as the original release. Quote
microtree33 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Unfortunately, nope... Nothing announced so far. Hopefully they at least tighten up the wing bars and ankles... But chalk this up to a huge missed opportunity on Arcadia's part. Is it normal for Arcadia or Yamato before them to announce incremental improvements for reissues? I'm not sure I want to wait a year or whatever it will be for the Bandai DX-C YF-19 and the current issues with this release are a deal breaker at that price point. Here's hoping Arcadia surprises us, but in a good way. Quote
Gundam@EFSF Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Still available for pre order in Hk store, around USD 260 Quote
Renato Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Is it normal for Arcadia or Yamato before them to announce incremental improvements for reissues?

Here's hoping Arcadia surprises us, but in a good way. I wouldn't say it is "normal", but they sometimes do blog posts about improvements and changes. They did a really long one for the VF-19Kai reissue. I don't remember any more specifically, but I know there are more. Quote
Sildani Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Posted by Arcadia on Twitter yesterday, courtesy of Google Translate: "Good morning! This month is a perfect transformation YF-19 (reproduction) release date! We revved up!" Quote
Mr Bomber Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 http://www.hlj.com/product/ACA82042 its up to order, low stock weird, i havent received my payment request. Quote
GabrielV Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I just responded to my AmiAmi payment request this morning. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 My compulsion to buy Macross toys makes me want to get another Arcadia YF-19, but beyond that I neither need or want another one. If Arcadia opts to do another paint scheme, well then... -b. Quote
General Rasp Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I really want to get the re-issue version because I missed out on the first release. But I am having trouble justifying that price if Arcadia hasn't addressed any of the issues. At $265 the toy should not have lose ankles. I want to buy it because second hand market prices are ridiculous and I love Macross plus. But if they haven't fix the issues from the first release then I would rather wait for a sale. Quote
treatment Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) It's become such a lottery with Arcadia right now. VF-0A == exploding hips. VF-4G == loose joints. YF-19 == no mention whatsoever if they ever fixed the loose ankles for this re-issue. About the only Arcadia valk that seems to be fine is the 0S and the pinkish VF-1J/VF-1S... Edited April 25, 2016 by treatment Quote
David Hingtgen Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I will likely sell my Arcadia -19 if Bandai does a true Isamu YF, or a YF or 19A with neat colors. Then I will be Arcadia-free and almost Yamato-free. Don't know if that's good or bad. Quote
iguanaman8989 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Payment request just went out from HLJ. Quote
Old Man Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I recently scored a set of the T-REX parts for this, so I'm in for another copy, even though I'm sure no improvements were made Quote
no3Ljm Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 My compulsion to buy Macross toys makes me want to get another Arcadia YF-19, but beyond that I neither need or want another one. If Arcadia opts to do another paint scheme, well then... -b. Pink 19, b? But kidding aside, same here. If they do those Birds of Prey or Double Nuts or Lightning, I'm in for one. Though I have to choose which one. I really want to get the re-issue version because I missed out on the first release. But I am having trouble justifying that price if Arcadia hasn't addressed any of the issues. At $265 the toy should not have lose ankles. I want to buy it because second hand market prices are ridiculous and I love Macross plus. But if they haven't fix the issues from the first release then I would rather wait for a sale. Don't expect that it will have a fixed ankle joint. Think of the recent VF-4G one. It still have those loose arm and ankle joints somehow. Not to mention some loose missile tabs. Expect that 80% it's still going to be the same. And like you mentioned it has a ridiculous second hand market prices on the first release. And those have loose joints as you mentioned. And like always, we'll never know if there's ever going to be a sale after that. Anyways, good luck. It's become such a lottery with Arcadia right now. VF-0A == exploding hips. VF-4G == loose joints. YF-19 == no mention whatsoever if they ever fixed the loose ankles for this re-issue. About the only Arcadia valk that seems to be fine is the 0S and the pinkish VF-1J/VF-1S... Not sure about the pinkish VF-1S'. Mine has the feet pop off on both Valks when I pulled it during the first transformation right out of the box. And those are purchased MISB. Just saying. I recently scored a set of the T-REX parts for this, so I'm in for another copy, even though I'm sure no improvements were made Looking forward to see those Frontier Parts. Quote
