Reaction Warhead Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 If this is real, then Bandai is out to get Arcadia. They're stepping on their chest with this release. Operation Bankrupt Arcadia is now commencing. Quote

If this is true, however, then i want to see a Bandai YF-21! And after Bandai have destroyed Arcadia.... Quote
wmkjr Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) If it's true then they're also doing a Basara in DX Edited October 29, 2015 by wmkjr Quote
seti88 Posted October 29, 2015 Author Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) I dont get it tho, as i would thk that arcadia would have some exclusive hold on the M+ license for 1/60 as they released the YF-19 fast pack version not too long ago. This is from reading abt all the licensing issues from past forum postings.. Unless of course its somehow recinded from arcadia's part? and for that same reason, M7 licensing too.. Edited October 29, 2015 by seti88 Quote
Moosey Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 M7 licensing - VF-11C???? Looks like Arcadia are gonna be looking for new jobs at this rate! Quote
Graham Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Why not? Have mold, will milk. No, no, no, it doesn't work like that. Nearly every part of the VF-19 Kai is completely different to the YF-19, so much so that about 98% new molds are needed. Quote
Universe1010 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 No, no, no, it doesn't work like that. Nearly every part of the VF-19 Kai is completely different to the YF-19, so much so that about 98% new molds are needed. What are the differences in the vf 19 vs yf19? Quote
Darotower Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 The best part of this things are Bandai's prices are far better than Arcadia's!!!! Quote
kajnrig Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 What are the differences in the vf 19 vs yf19? Transformation mechanism might be similar, but legs are bigger(?) and more rounded, with different feet and tail fins. Wings are different. Shoulders are completely changed (more exaggerated and "anime" than YF-19's blocky ones). I believe it lacks the forward canards of the YF-19 as well, and the forward fuselage itself isn't as aggressive as the YF's. Then again, this is all from what I remember of the old Bandai VF-19 toy I had as a kid, so... Quote

Bandai is not teasing a 1/60 YF-19, the title refers to the giant SDF-1 and then it says: "Also 1/100 Valkyrie II & VF-4, 1/60 YF-19 & Macross Delta fighters". Animenewsnetwork provides links and information for all those releases/series. The 1/100 Valkyrie II is clearly the Evolution Toys one. Quote
auberondreaming Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 The best part of this things are Bandai's prices are far better than Arcadia's!!!! And this is why Walmart is successful. Quote

I was skeptical too but when i read the bandai will release part of the article i woke the hell up! Adrian lozano you better be reporting correctly else you will have an itano barrage of missiles commenting heading ur way!! Its a exhibition until the weekend, so its possible that the annoucement is true as the trade interviews roll on. Of course we cant say if bandai will follow thru on it.. Evolution toys is releasing a current 1/60th not 1/100 and certainly with out a SAP. So unless they suddenly are canabalising their release i would thk the 1/100 refers to bandai. Quote

Then again, this is all from what I remember of the old Bandai VF-19 toy I had as a kid, so... The most important difference is that VF-19 comes with 'two shields' rather than one like YF-19. Quote
wmkjr Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) The best part of this things are Bandai's prices are far better than Arcadia's!!!! The worst part is Bandai's general release ordering is a nightmare. Bandai is not teasing a 1/60 YF-19, the title refers to the giant SDF-1 and then it says: "Also 1/100 Valkyrie II & VF-4, 1/60 YF-19 & Macross Delta fighters". Animenewsnetwork provides links and information for all those releases/series. The 1/100 Valkyrie II is clearly the Evolution Toys one. In its larger 1/60-scale DX Chōgōkin line, Bandai will offer: Macross Plus: YF-19 Macross 7: VF-19 Custom Excalibur (Basara Nekki Special) To me, there is a difference between teasing and will offer. Hopefully the author did the fact checking before putting out this article. Hard to find it credible when he says the largest toy of the Macross spaceship was only 1/3000 or is the 1/2000 not considered a toy but a model kit? Edited October 29, 2015 by wmkjr Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Hmmm... meh. Don't really want another VF/YF-19 (Unless it's the ACTIVE). I want to see what Bandai can do for an updated YF-21. At least this may lead to one. Edited October 29, 2015 by MacrossJunkie Quote
mechaninac Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 What are the differences in the vf 19 vs yf19? It's easier to list what is NOT different: Landing gears, maybe, and perhaps the pilot seat. Quote

Chronocidal Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 If they go the extra mile and rework the VF-19 Advance to have the correct canards and canopy? I might bite. I'm just a sucker for that airframe, even in McDonalds form. I'm not sure what Bandai hopes to accomplish though... are they just trying to adapt Macross as a second cash cow to supplement their domination of Gundam? With all the improvements they keep making, they still don't seem interested in making aircraft, so much as mecha that coincidentally transform into flying machines. I'm being incredibly picky I know, but when are they going to actually start painting their landing gear white? Yamato did that from the start, and Bandai not doing that just winds up making it look like they really don't care, despite all the other effort they put in. I can't help feel like they actually cling to certain inaccuracies as if they're a trademark. Quote
Jasonc Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 If Bandai is taking over, it would be a sad day. Bandai's quality isn't as good between the Arcadia 19, and the Bandai 19 Advance. The engineering just seems overdone and too prone to floppy mishaps. That said, at least there'd be more stuff continuing. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) i honestly think it's a bad source/structured article, some of the things in the article doesn't even make sense. i'll wait for confirmation. pics or it didn't happen Edited October 30, 2015 by davidwhangchoi Quote

Golden Arms Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) The AD 2012 panel if my 40 yr old eyes don't deceive me looks like Hi metal R vf-4 that was theorized. Today has been like force Friday for Macross Fans minus all the overblown hype! Edited October 30, 2015 by Golden Arms Quote

neoexcaliber Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Yikes. Reminds me of Bandai debuting the YF-29 Isamu within days of the Arcadia. YF-19 pre-order. Edited October 30, 2015 by neoexcaliber Quote
seti88 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 This is turning out to more interesting than any delta news Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 its a hi metal scale so not too much head to head Quote
