no3Ljm Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Some things worth noticing. Based on F360's post, it's confirmed that there's an extra neck shield included. Kinda weird to assume to have a neck shield attached to the shield during Gerwalk mode while the extra neck shield is attached on the head. Based on this blogger, it's tedious to open the leg missile compartment. He needs to remove the wing holder every now and then since the peg from the wing holder is attached to the leg cover. I'm curious to see a Fast Mode of the VF-19 with the Adv Booster attached into it. But based on the picture and his comment, you can convert the valk into Fast Mode with all the Adv Packs attached into it, but there's not enough space to fold the wings inside the slit of the Adv Boosters. So it needs to be remove before he can fold the wings. Anyways, will still try to do this when I get mine. I really like the sliding gimik of the back part. Though I have a feeling that it's all going to be all plastic and not diecast for the sliding mechanism. I guess, this is the main focus of the valk where all of us should concentrate on while transforming it. If not, all we're going to hear is cracking plastic sound. Any confirmation if the wing bar is diecast? Quote

m30 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I just got payment request from HLJ as well (FYI: my PO was from one of the "open for 2 minutes" windows a few weeks back). Quote
Offswitch Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Nothing for my HLJ order yet. But I'm certainly happy that they're fulfilling those later pop-up orders! There's hope yet! EDIT: Scratch that!... I got the payment request 10 mins after I posted, haha! Whoohoo! Edited June 19, 2015 by Offswitch Quote
F360 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Just got my payment request too , I pulled over and pay it right away , lol Quote

Mr Bomber Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Any one got the actual weight of the vf 19 in box ? Need it to avoid any problem with with customs in my country. Edited June 19, 2015 by Mr Bomber Quote
MikeRoz Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 HLJ just charged me. Figured I'd get a chance to choose shipping method. Oh well. Quote
anubis20 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 HLJ has been paid! Just waiting now for a Figma Snake payment request i decided to buy right now and i'll ship Quote
wm cheng Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Woohoo!!! So excited I just got payment for HLJ! I just love this interpretation, so sleek, all the proportions are to my personal preference and all that nice Tampo - it just puts the Arcadia to shame (and cheaper to boot!). I think I'll keep my chunky Arcadia in Battroid and display this proudly in the sleek aircraft mode or dump that Arcadia crap (especially hard after all that work I had to do it to get it looking acceptable) and get a second Bandai for all the cool extreme Battroid poses too?! Hmm decisions, decisions... Quote
spanner Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Just got HLJ payment notification! Now just waiting on NY for a shipping notice and thats all 3 done! Hmmm so am i ordering a 4th.. decisions decisions.. Quote
mickyg Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 All paid here too! HLJ came through this time. Quote
Bahamutzyro Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Just got my notice and both are invoiced from hlj. They are paid n hopefully shipping tonight. Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I just realized that my NY order will be here in a week or two since I forgot I choose ECO Registered with them. And paid for HLJ as well. That one will be here first since it's on EMS. Can't wait to see it. Congrats everyone! Quote
calubin_175 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. I was wondering, does Hong Kong usually get popular Macross items in stock on release date? My impression is that Hong Kong doesn't have as many people pre-ordering and they usually wait for the retail release. I remember seeing many Voltes V and Metal RD Hi-NuGundam upon release. Of course, that was due to the Asia official batch stock. Quote
Mommar Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Well HLJ and Play Asia have both charged me... Quote

505thAirborne Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Just got my notice from HLJ a few hours ago. Payment sent.... now the waiting game. Quote
Mr Bomber Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Is on stock now on HLJ AGAIN get your seconds and thirds people. (i myself im thinking about it, even if it mean next month ill be short for the VF29 percival Quote
mog_kupo Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 LOL 5 minutes late and its on order stop again Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 http://toysdaily.com/discuz/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=239885#lastpost Just wondering. Should we be concern with the folding thigh joint? I asked a co-worker for this note from the site posted above: 但雞腳MODE有個問題, 不知為何要把迴旋關節做在這個位置.... 雖然也做到八字腳, 但跟舊YAMATO比起來感覺奇怪了點... But there is a problem with 'chicken feet' structure. I do not know why they use the moving joint in this position. Although it can do spread feet, but feels weird compared with the old YAMATO model. Quote
calubin_175 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I only started collecting Bandai Macross this year, so this is my first time experiencing the hype in anticipation of a new mould/release. The last new mould was the YF 30 and Arcadia's 0D. Quote
Golden Arms Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Welcome aboard Calubin. The time of new releases is when you will see grown men turn into infatuated 12 year old girls at a Justin Bieber concert! Fun times. Hobbysearch isn't showing stock, come on guys, hook a brotha up!!!! Quote
mickyg Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 All added to shipment from private warehouse at hlj, and of course, I'm short a few dollars to ship it... Ah the joys of having a dedicated hobby account that relies solely on PayPal funds. More eBay sales to top up PayPal! Quote
Loop Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I woke up this morning to find my CDJ order has shipped, then while at work today HLJ took payment Can't wait to have one in hand to compare with my Arcadia's. A couple of things I am sure I don't like on the bandai is the gap in the rear and the hollow calves on the back of the leg. I think I also prefer Arcadia's chunkier look to the thin legs on the Bandai. Quote

CAM00336.jpg DXVF19A_thighjoints.jpg I asked a co-worker for this note from the site posted above: 但雞腳MODE有個問題, 不知為何要把迴旋關節做在這個位置.... 雖然也做到八字腳, 但跟舊YAMATO比起來感覺奇怪了點... But there is a problem with 'chicken feet' structure. I do not know why they use the moving joint in this position. Although it can do spread feet, but feels weird compared with the old YAMATO model. I don't see what the problem is, it can actually be posed decently in Gerwalk unlike the Arcadia version. Aaaaaaaaaand there's the brokeback fighter look from the original Yammie.

Major Focker Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 thanks to joppewo i got an order in. about 6 mins after his post. i had a tab opened on the VF-19 page at HLJ which i kept refreshing. when i saw joppewo's post i refreshed it again while also opening another tab from the https link in his post. the non-https tab i originally had still showed order stop, but lo and behold the https link was open for orders and remained open even after i got my order confirmed in my account. weird...
