calubin_175 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Sorry for being off topic, but I had no idea that Arcadia's was a completely different mould from Yamato. But I guess Arcadia's VF-19Kai and the VF-1 were just reissues. I think Bandai must have upped the production numbers from the delay. But this one tend to attract those who avoid Frontier era styled designs. Quote
neoexcaliber Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I'm starting to think Bandai really did ramp up production for this one. Up at HLJ. http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN992012/Act Quote
spanner Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Release is still on track for tomorrow (20th) right? Think I might have to pick up a 2nd one for myself.. Quote
Mr Bomber Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Preorder is up again on HLJ get yours! http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN992012/Act Edited June 19, 2015 by Mr Bomber Quote
calubin_175 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 This is also one of the few self contained releases as it also comes with its own super pack. VF-27 1.5 doesn't count as it is an obsolete mould. Quote
barurutor Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 gone again at HLJ, though I already had one confirmed order with them previously. Quote
valid Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 anyone notice that the gullet of this vf 19 looks like yamato yf 19 Quote
Murphy Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 CD Japan just shipped mine! Check your inboxes! Quote
spanner Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 CD Japan just shipped mine! Check your inboxes! same! just got email notification just then! sweeeeeet!!!! Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 CD Japan just shipped mine! Check your inboxes! Same here.....Now I need that HLJ do their job and send my second copy. Quote
Zaid Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 All of you who pick up multiple copies are absolutely killing it for people who haven't had a chance to get their first ones in. -.- Quote
nedragdnuos Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Yep, just got shipping notice as well from CD Japan! Quote
spanner Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I just hope NY doesn't mess about with their shipping process.. I don't want to wait for another whole week before they get their act together and ship it out. And I am expecting to receive payment request from HLJ anytime now! Still not sure if I will be ordering a 4th yet..? Seeing that only one of the three I have ordered is mine, I wouldn't mind a 2nd. Quote
Shukenzero Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Woo! CDJ shipped mine too! Now to wait a few days to pick up my second! Quote
Graham Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Also received shipment notification email from CD Japan today. Quote
neoexcaliber Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 All of you who pick up multiple copies are absolutely killing it for people who haven't had a chance to get their first ones in. -.- Something tells me it's gonna be easier to get one compared to a VF-25S or a YF-30. Quote
Zaid Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Something tells me it's gonna be easier to get one compared to a VF-25S or a YF-30. Should already be going on sale right about now, isn't it? Quote
mechaninac Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Ditto on the CDJ shipping notice: but since I chose SAL, I won't get mine for at least 2 weeks... Quote
spanner Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Should already be going on sale right about now, isn't it? I don't think there are many places that have them still available this close to release but im sure they will pop up again as people cancel their orders or more stock arrives..

Shukenzero Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Something tells me it's gonna be easier to get one compared to a VF-25S or a YF-30. Can still buy either valk right now actually so I think it will be easy to find. YF-30 is still so purdy Quote
Mechamaniac Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 The Arcadia version is definitely more anime chunky! My thoughts exactly. The Arcadia looks spot-on to the anime chunky battroid lineart. The Bandai looks more streamlined overall. I'm happy with it. I see the VF-19 Advance as the culmination of the YF-19 and Isamu's character. He's totally the type of guy to get sick of the military BS and go mercenary....and that's what he did apparently. Quote
Benbot Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Yeah, I just saw that. Not sure if I should go for it or wait for someone else. Quote
Firefox Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Got shipping notice from CD Japan. They are quick. Quote
Golden Arms Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Still available for preorder at Solarisjapan Quote
valhary Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 see the early reviews and pics I think fighter is for arcadia, gerwalk a draw and battroid for bandai and for this last mode I believe that arcadia=lineart / bandai=anime accuracy Quote
chyll2 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 so there are hardpoints in the wings. Will bandai release a web exclusive to fill the hard points of YF-30 and VF-19 Advance? Quote
Golden Arms Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I doubt it. Hopefully the 19 won't turn into a floppy mess like all of their other releases. Getting tired shoulders that won't stay on or hold their pose (29) and hips that loosen after one transformation. Quote
takatoys Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 see the early reviews and pics I think fighter is for arcadia, gerwalk a draw and battroid for bandai and for this last mode I believe that arcadia=lineart / bandai=anime accuracy Ditto. Quote
Swoosh Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Local store in Hong Kong has stock already, and people starts posting pics in facebook toys group. Quote
Chowser Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 *sigh* why did I look in here??!! Off to try to find it for a decent price. I'm really liking Bandai's recent releases. I don't have any Arcadias to compare though. My last VF-1 was a Yamato. Quote
valhary Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 that really intrigued me nobody in the reviews mention the landing gear also i hope scans of the instruction booklet Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Had a good night sleep and woke up with an email notice that NY shipped my VF-19Adv. How sweet. Now just waiting for HLJ's payment notification. Saw all the pics posted and it looks awesome. Based on the photos posted, I still prefer Arcadia's Battroid proportion. Anyways, Happy VF19A Friday everyone! Quote
Shukenzero Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Local store in Hong Kong has stock already, and people starts posting pics in facebook toys group. You have the link? Wanna see pics Quote
