kajnrig Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Just another heads up that I'll let go of one of my two preorders come release. I've got one at amiami, one at HLJ. I'll open a thread in the FS section come the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anime52k8 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 the fact that I'm going to have 3 different YF-19's is starting to sink in and I'm not sure what to do about it. I'm keeping this one for sure but do I dump the 19ADVANCE because it's the same mold with different accessories or the arcadia YF because it's the inferior version of the same valk. decisions, decisions.

Sildani Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Clear plastic is more brittle than colored, though, so that might be a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an idiot, ignore me. Imo it's a mark up since you are paying the taxes that you should not be paying. Anyway, I would grab it at that price now if I really need one.

YF-19 is best YF, keep them all obviously. I'm going to dedicate a display case or shelf just to my -19 collection.

Inferior? It looks like the Plus version in every mode. This YF-19 looks like the computer model, but not like Plus except for maybe more accurate intake shape.

TrickyCustomer Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I'm excited for the dx version. I have the Arcadia yf-19 here in fighter mode with my yam yf-21. Just waiting on the yeti stand now so I can have them in formation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjdetweiler Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) To my ocenia brothers, cancelled my order from Aus Ani, also considering cancelling my order from Mykombini as well, I don't own any DX Macross and I planned that this to be my first one but will focus on the new 1/48 line starting with DX VF-1J since that his the Macross/Robotech I grew up with.

It might not be a line. IIRC the only confirmed release is the VF-1J, and while it would make sense to populate the rest of the VF-1 series in 1/48 scale, I wouldn't expect that same scale to apply to other Valks. The VF-1 is incredibly small compared to its descendants (and even its VF-0 parent), such that the larger 1/48 scale still puts it at around the same absolute size as the other DXes, which range around 1/55-1/65. Maybe they'll do the VF-9 Cutlass in 1/48 scale, though. If @Xigfrid's rendition is anything to go by, that VF is even smaller than the VF-1 and could use the scale bump.

jenius Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I think the statement was more like "The VF-1 is my favorite so the announcement of a DX VF-1 is making me forego the DX YF-19." Not so much a worry that everything would be coming in 1/48. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggy99 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) I interpreted that as meaning starting to collect the VF-1 1/48 toy line. Bandai will definitely continue to release more VF-1 in 1/48. Edited September 3, 2018 by eggy99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VF-19 Adv had really nice deep panel lines, so I expect the YF-19 will be the same. It allowed for some really nice shading on my weathered VF-19 Adv. I need to take a better set of photos of this. Currently this bad boy is wrapped in bubble wrap from the office move last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
