Loop Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Yeah I think it's the high speed mode wing connector, I wonder if they should have not included that feature. Quote
Falcon18 Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Mr. K says something about the intake lip. Thinner? Or lower or something.. Can't really tell much about it. Someone with better knowledge can probably talk about it better. Mr. K @ Mrk_arcadia Whoa! Clearance of the intake and the sub is low. ~ It is not justified more.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 still trouble shooting... みすたーK @Mrk_arcadia9h 腕のロックが効かない。 " The lock of an arm is not effective" Quote
Reïvaj Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 I wonder if that's why the arms weren't fully transformed in the last pic. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) reminds me of the episode in macross where the vf-x appears. roy said many test pilots risk death testing prototypes. it's a good thing we have isamu test piloting this, he's not afraid of death, malfunctioning locks or broken parts. Edited November 22, 2013 by davidwhangchoi Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 In Plus, Isamu pilots the 3rd YF-19 prototype, I assume the two previews pilots also bit the bucket. Quote
mechaninac Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Better they thoroughly test and retest, find, and fix any potential weak areas, inadequate locks and attachments, and breakage prone spots now then to release a flawed, and very expensive, toy that could sink their fledgling company if the YF-19 proves to be a turkey. Take your time Arcadia, and give us a product that's beyond reproach. Edited November 22, 2013 by mechaninac Quote
Loop Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 ^ Agreed, I would rather them play with it and find the flaws before release. If it causes a delay I have no qualms as I would rather have a perfect toy. Quote
UN Spacy Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) The leg missile hinge broke? I also don't like the color of that black...it's too dark. I'm THIS close to canceling my preorder. Edited November 23, 2013 by UN Spacy Quote
skullmilitia Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 The leg missile hinge broke? I also don't like the color of that black...it's too dark. I'm THIS close to canceling my preorder. The wings are the wrong tan as well!! Lol Quote
Moosey Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Even if it it's fragile, I'm good with my pre-order. I fell in love with the -19 for it's fighter mode for the most part and since it's gonna arrive on my door step in said mode - I'm good! I'll let you, my fellow intrepid (and more experienced) collectors/fans decide which parts are weak before I even attempt to transform mine......... Yes I am a bitch. Quote
Loop Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) ^^ LOL Edited November 26, 2013 by Loop Quote
s001 Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 My guess is that the wing hinges are made of diecast. So it's gonna be ok. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 on the special 19 site more comments are updated: one question i thought was interesting that clears up a question i had: customer: "the gun pod comes with a detachable clip, will there be a space in the shield where a spare clip can be attached?" Mk. K: "I put a gimmick to accommodate the grip in aircraft form. There's no mounting of spare magazine in shield back." Quote

Tober Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 HLJ's Black Friday Weekend Sale now has it at 26,568 JPY. 19% off. Given their cheaper shipping it makes it comparable to Big In Japan's price. Out with the old order, in with the new. Quote

How can I do all this without THANKING YOU! Edited November 28, 2013 by close313 Quote
Tober Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 OOH SNAP! How can I cancel my old one! Order a discounted one first to make sure they still have stock. When you get the order confirmation email go into your account and edit your previous order, setting the quantity to 'CANCEL', then confirm - it will take about 15 minutes for the new order to show up in your account. EDIT: No worries Hope they don't blacklist me. I did this to my other Arcadia pre-orders too... Quote
Falcon18 Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Well that sucks. I put in my order with Amiami for the 19 and 1S. Any chances of Amiami having the same sale? Quote
Tober Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Well that sucks. I put in my order with Amiami for the 19 and 1S. Any chances of Amiami having the same sale? I'm not sure Black Friday Sales are that common in Japan, or anywhere outside the USA/Canada... I don't think you can cancel orders at any of the other stores anyway (except NY), not without warning or blacklist penalties anyway - not worth the hassles IMO. Maybe if you ordered with NY you could get them to price match HLJ... maybe... Quote
Falcon18 Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Yeah.. I know about those penalties thing. Pretty much why I'm keeping my orders. Dont wanna get blacklisted from my first order lol. Oh well.. Quote

Oh well.. If it helps, i think u can cancel via amiami at most once with good reasoning. I got this tip from googling how to cancel from them and found answers from some figure forum. I cancelled my roy that way(first order with them) i dont think i am banned but im pretty sure i cannot cancel anymore. Quote
Loop Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) I got the e-mail this morning about the sale. I did the same, I cancelled the 2x 19's and the 1S Focker and 1S Hikaru. I reordered them at the discounted prices. Edited November 28, 2013 by Loop Quote
Dobber Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Yeah, I got the email too. I just didn't think preorder items would be on sale too! I went back and reordered all the stuff I had on pre-order. Thanks for the heads up! Chris Quote
Loop Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Now if I can just get them to adjust the price on the Metal Build Destiny Gundam I have on pre-order. I dispatched an e-mail, but I am not banking on it. Glad I got the 19's down to about 260 a piece. Edited November 28, 2013 by Loop Quote
Sandman Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Awesome thanks for the heads up. I was originally going to get one. This sale made me decide to get a second one. I can't seem to find the arcadia vf-1s(s) through the search function. Are they still available to order? Quote

barurutor Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Cancelled my earlier order with HLJ. Thanks for spotting this! I have 1 more order with Amiami just in case they don't honor the price adjustment. Quote
