Mommar Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Hey, respects cultural differences! Bad fit and color is bad fit and color, I don't care where you're from. Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I just hope he isn't wearing a plaid shirt with those striped.. leggings? Or are those just really high socks? Can't tell. Either way, I hope he's coordinating. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Got an email from Hobby Search on my pre-order last night (was basically an email about items I have on order that come out soon). Can't wait for the end of March! Haven't been this excited for a Yamato/Arcadia release since the 1/60 TV Max 1A. -b. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I didn't notice the high socks until it was pointed out Quote
skullmilitia Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 That's it! I'm canceling David's canceled, then preordered, then canceled, then preordered order because if MrK doesn't know how to color coordinate his outrageous outfits, it's obvious the YF-19 will explode when left near anything plaid! Why you no like MrK outfit? You square? Quote
CoreyD Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 HAH! I remember seeing those guys in the park last time I was in Tokyo (ca 2006). Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 you mean Mr. K's (the yf-19's verision 3 toy engineer designer) Well, you seem to always be the one to post them. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Well, you seem to always be the one to post them. thanks, yeah i got 4 pre ordered so i guess i'm pretty excited of any updates but i'm just as happy when anyone posts something new about the 19. i'm glad Mr.K is checking the assembly parts again to make sure nothings wrong.

Not much time left to properly check them if we're only a month out from release. Quote
SaitouSad Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 thanks, yeah i got 4 pre ordered Jesus, 4! Though I'm one to talk for buying 4 VF-25Fs back during the reissue (though in hindsight I'm kinda glad I did, what with the new Tornado Parts) Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Jesus, 4! Though I'm one to talk for buying 4 VF-25Fs back during the reissue (though in hindsight I'm kinda glad I did, what with the new Tornado Parts) Its not only toy collecting, this is an investment!!!

Mommar Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 If you can swing it and you have the room, that's cool. I'd like three personally, but not of the same paint scheme (and preferably not paying for them all at the same time.) Quote

Why you no like MrK outfit? You square? Why does the guy on the right make me think of Jeff Goldblum? Anyway, yeah, I would love three of these as well, but I think I'll wait to see if any more schemes appear. I'm ready to beg for a low-vis or supernova scheme at this point. The double nuts and BoP just didn't cut it for me. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Don't tease, I would buy the crap out of an assembly kit.. especially if they made it in white. The thought of Supernova versions still makes me drool. it looks like you're not the only one. but several people have requested an assembly kit. and mr. k has responded to each counting up a vote. he's up to 4 votes now. (i think he's playing around) also he responded to someone asking why was it suddenly moved up from april to late march. he said at the time it went on sale last year he thought it was going to be late march written in the sale title but it was posted late april. he responded "was it sudden?" so i guess this wasn't a sudden change in plans to him personally.

xrentonx Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 So insensitive to my financial well being! Whyyyyyyyyy ...joking, of course. If I'm not paying now, I sure as hell will be paying later. Possibly by a lot more too Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 it's march... is it almost time yet Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I'm excited too, but my recent vf-1s from arcadia had a really scratched up canopy. I hope this doesn't repeat onto the later release but I know it prob just my copy of it Quote
Isamu Dyson Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Hmmm, pretty quiet these days for an end of March release. Is this what we call, "the calm before the storm"? Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) i'm excited and checking everyday! Mr.K in china now, final arrangements at the factory in full production checking paint Edited March 10, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
Loop Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I'm excited too, but my recent vf-1s from arcadia had a really scratched up canopy. I hope this doesn't repeat onto the later release but I know it prob just my copy of it Weird, I did not hear any reports of this. I Will be checking the one I never opened. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Weird, I did not hear any reports of this. I Will be checking the one I never opened. i had yellow paint splotches on the black stripe of my arcadia vf-1s. but i don't care, i cared more that it was very sensitive to lighting making it pinkish white like the assembly kits under certain conditions. but i'm here to support arcadia. let's go 19's!

Valkyrie addict Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 We're close to mid March, can Chinese factories really assembly, package and distribute all the YF-19 in less than 3 weeks properly? Quote
skullmilitia Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 We're close to mid March, can Chinese factories really assembly, package and distribute all the YF-19 in less than 3 weeks properly? Have you ever seen one of those assembly factories? They could the 3000 in a few days time. Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Have you ever seen one of those assembly factories? They could the 3000 in a few days time. Yeah I work at a machine shop where we have 5 workers including myself. We grind like 25k parts a day. I'm sure they have more people working on assembly that 3000 is cake Also on my vf-1s the clear plastic blue and red parts fell off when I took out the landing gear. I'll post pictures later but I'm just glad that nothing really major was broke. Still a solid piece of art if you ask me Edited March 10, 2014 by VF-Zer0S Quote
Falcon18 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 From Arcadia's twitter; Coming reaaalllyy sooon.. Can't wait. Quote
Benbot Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I'd give it another 2 weeks before these are in stores. Quote
takatoys Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I have not bought a pair of the same valk in years, but I will eventually buy another one. Hope Arcadia releases a new paint variation pretty soon. Quote
Valkyrie2008 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 HobbySearch still have it available at $287, for those interested. I'm not sure if I want to spend $300 on a valk. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) BibRwvUCQAADMLO.jpg Nice pose, I like it. That cord looks amateurishly placed on the floor, and it should be a lighter shade of gray. Gonna have to cancel my pre-order. Edited March 11, 2014 by ChaoticYeti Quote
skullmilitia Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 If that's the final product, it's only a week or so away from retail. I'm guessing they will hold it back until 3/31 though. Quote
