Golden Arms Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) Its official, I'm now a member of the my 19 shipped club! Edited June 20, 2015 by Golden Arms Quote
spanner Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Considering that the Arcadia YF-19 is a little more buff when in battroid mode I think I will keep the Bandai in fighter mode.. most likely with supers fitted. The Bandai display stand and pin point barrier punch gimmick thing will also be staying in the box! High speed mode never to be used.. icky.. I must say the Bandai 19 does pull off gerwalk better than the Arcadia does! I think the boob cannons work a lot better on the 19 Advance than they do with the 171.. still kinda weird and little bit of an after thought but they work. I guess Isamu has been busy modding the crap outta this bird more to his liking! Still no postage tracking updates as yet.. :/ hoping its well on its way and that its just the scanning data that hasn't gone through as yet.. Might hold off buying another till this one arrives so I can make a better informed decision about it.. Quote

Make sure you show off the leg missile. Just to annoy Arcadia to no end... Edited June 20, 2015 by treatment Quote
neoexcaliber Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Can I assume everyone's gotten their payment request from HLJ, even the late orders? Could HLJ really have delivered this time? Quote
spanner Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) Make sure you show off the leg missile. Just to annoy Arcadia to no end... hehe! yep will do! but I think my Yamato VF-19S beat Bandai's 19 to it! Edited June 20, 2015 by spanner76 Quote
raptormesh Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Yeah paid for mine and I ordered just last week. Quote
barurutor Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Can I assume everyone's gotten their payment request from HLJ, even the late orders? Could HLJ really have delivered this time? I got payment request as well and I was in the last batch of orders last 30 May AFAIK. Quote
Valk-1S Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Can I assume everyone's gotten their payment request from HLJ, even the late orders? Could HLJ really have delivered this time? I think they are and they are getting more in. Orders have been opening and closing throughout the day still. Just keep checking for those still looking for one. You need to look at the actual product page as what I found is that the status on the product page is different from the search. Search could say order stop but when you click on it, the product page lets you place an order in. Quote
505thAirborne Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Just received my EMS tracking number from HLJ, next week is going to be a good one! Can't wait to finally have this Valkyrie in my collection! Quote
F360 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Here's some new pics,, can you see the special one? Quote
aaajin Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Any confirmation if the wing bar is diecast? gb151.jpg From the looks of it, seems plasticky...but who knows, maybe Bandai would go great lengths as to etch hidden diecast bars just to prove Bandai >> Arcadia. Anyways, not liking the gullet on the fighter. Arcadia's the thang for me, but enjoying members posting pics of the new 19 "incarnation". cheers! Quote
valhary Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 holy crap! looks also very small in fighter mode Quote
F360 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 It's around the same size as the Arcadia version. Quote
Viiof Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Here's some new pics,, can you see the special one?What exactly is the "special one"? Quote
Shukenzero Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Sold out at 1900 odd HKD. New stock price raised to 2200 Quote
wmkjr Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) The 3rd one with the crooked tailfin? Or the 7th Yamato one with the boosters? Edited June 20, 2015 by wmkjr Quote
Big Irv Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) Fraggin' Bandai and this CURSED Macross hobby! First, all the sites state that it's coming on the 20th. Then, outta the blue it all changes to the 19th, completely killing the entire purpose of taking Friday off! Fraggin' unbelievable!! I'm sitting here soaking up the futility! Ah...well. Hopefully, Bandai issues a re-release due to the big sales on this Valk. Edited June 20, 2015 by Big Irv Quote

F360 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Yup , the 3rd one with the old Yamato yf-19 with the bandai boosters it kinda blends in I'm surprise there's no pic of people using these bandai boosters on their fastpack Arcadia in fighter mode yet. Quote
Vifam7 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) Would greatly appreciate if someone could post side profile comparison photos (with landing gears down) between Yamato, Arcadia, and Bandai. Edited June 20, 2015 by Vifam7 Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 i still don't see how bandai can get away with copying Arcadia Mr. K's the high speed gimmick. i mean, that took some imagination to design and implement. surprised bandai has the balls to copy it so blatantly. Quote
rnurmin Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 In a way, i guess it also shows that Bandai agrees w Mr. K's designs (indirectly giving kudos to Mr.K) Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) I don't see what the problem is, it can actually be posed decently in Gerwalk unlike the Arcadia version. *snip* Ok, wtf is up with the uber derpy fugly GERWALK poses from the early purchasers!? Like this from http://blogppoi.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2015/06/dx_vf-19-ad-dff.html : http://blogppoi.cocolog-nifty.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2015/06/19/g5.jpg and like this from this td-thread: http://toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-239885-1-1.html http://i537.photobucket.com/albums/ff334/serenadechin/CAM00331.jpg MWF members need to give this valk the proper A-stance.... That's why I posted the pic that the blogger is showing for that swivel thigh joint. This is the first time I believe Bandai did it to their DX Valks. All their releases somehow has a bending thigh joint while the swivel left to right were done by the knee joint. But with this release, the swivel can be done from the thigh joint itself. So that's the thing. They remove the swivel joint like the ones in Arcadia and put it on the thigh joint instead. Look again on those photos. There's no photos in Gerwalk mode in A-stance mode in where the swivel comes from the knee. So basically, our concern will be is on the thigh joint. We just need to be glad if that joint will hold for awhile. I have a feeling that joint will be the fragile one. Unless it's diecast. Can I assume everyone's gotten their payment request from HLJ, even the late orders? Could HLJ really have delivered this time? Yup, HLJ shipped mine too. From the looks of it, seems plasticky...but who knows, maybe Bandai would go great lengths as to etch hidden diecast bars just to prove Bandai >> Arcadia. Anyways, not liking the gullet on the fighter. Arcadia's the thang for me, but enjoying members posting pics of the new 19 "incarnation". cheers! Yeah, that's what I thought too. Hope it will last. i still don't see how bandai can get away with copying Arcadia Mr. K's the high speed gimmick. i mean, that took some imagination to design and implement. surprised bandai has the balls to copy it so blatantly. In a way, i guess it also shows that Bandai agrees w Mr. K's designs (indirectly giving kudos to Mr.K) And knowing that Kawamori supervised both designs. I guess, Bandai paid some royalties there.

Gwynne Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 And knowing that Kawamori supervised both designs. I guess, Bandai paid some royalties there. Yeah, I would not be surprised if Bandai had to throw some money at Arcadia for this one. Quote

no3Ljm Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Good luck Zaid. Better get the one in HLJ for SRP. The only online shop that still holding this for preorder is YesAsia. And they charging it for $328.99. Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Looks like they are currently out at HLJ, but expect to get more stock, so I was just able to order one. Hope it comes through, I'd realy like a second one of these. Quote
Frogze Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Got a shipping notice too, upgraded automatically to EMS so hopefully I'll get it somewhere next week. I'm curious if the MF boosters can be set in battroid mode with the wings folded in as in the pics of the Arcadia with the T-Rex parts. It would look way less silly to me Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 https://secure.hlj.com/product/BAN992012/Act Still up...that's weird. ....😨😨😨 Quote
spanner Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Who knows might end up getting a cancelation notice.. Quote
