BANDAI DX YF-19!!

[VF-Zer0S]

Thanks for the info guys!

ill likely be passing up since my Fire Valk is my go to -19. Can’t wait to see pics when it comes out though 

[Valkyrie Griffon]

Sorry for confusion. Is this just a reissue? Didn't they do this valk already? Or am I thinking of the VF-19 Advance?

You are thinking of the VF-19Advance which is very similar except for accessories and possibly a different canopy.

[brouken]

Whoa, pre-order on the 27th of April? That came out of nowhere!

Hope there's a pay later option for this because I'm definitely in for one although I already have the VF-19 Advance (I knew there was a reason why I didn't spend money on the VF-31A ) Those missiles are way too tempting, and this will be my first Macross Plus Valkyrie if I manage to get one.

Here's hoping that Bandai will make a YF-21 to go along with this.

Hi there, I'm kind of a newbie in terms of PO madness (only ever did it for the 31J).

 

Does this mean I should be up at 3am EDT on Saturday, technically?  My memories from the last time I did PO madness are fuzzy

4/27 16:00 in Japan means you'd have to be ready at 3 AM Eastern time very early Friday morning.

You can thank the Germans for this (seriously).

You lost an hour of sleep because of Kaiser Wilhelm.

Guys, if the pre-order is set to open on the 27th, how come its not on the Tamashii Website? Shouldn't there be an official announcement for this?

[seti88]

There is still a week for bandai to update the website, so look out for more info next week.

[kajnrig]

It wouldn't be on the Tamashii website as it's not a web exclusive. (Correct me if I'm wrong on this.)

You might start seeing store pages popping up in a couple days or so, from my two experiences with these premium figures. Hobby Search typically has one up a day or so in advance, just with the item listed as Discontinued or some such thing that grays out the purchasing box. Same with Amiami. HLJ won't show a page until the item officially goes on preorder, and the quickest way to find it is to use the Advanced Search function (thus my link in the previous page).

I'd imagine that CDJ, Big in Japan, NY, etc. will have pages up in the upcoming days as well. IIRC, NY has a countdown timer to preorder launch.

[spacemanoeuvres]

The Tamashii website has a page for all releases. So it should be there soon or shenanigans.

Ah, good to know. Thanks for the correction.

[seti88]

Yup, look out for bandai's special long and tall form posters.
Normally as a special articles page in the tamashii site.
 

for example the most recent vf-31s

I hope NY lists the YF-19 around the same time as they did for the VF-31S.  I’ll be ready.

I've got Friday off coincidentally. My body is ready.

I don't need a following day -- off. Period. I stay up late no matter what until I secure a preorder. That's how dedicated I am. Remember, This. Is. Macross!

 

[F360]

Was there a price shown yet?  is it gonna be 28,000 yen?

The vf-19advance was already 24840 yen msrp

Y28000? If that what it is, Bandai prices is just going up from here on now. Now I have a reason to stop buying. Hahaha!

 

[Eslim109]

Can someone please provide the sites that will be, or most likely be, selling the YF-19? (And I'm assuming these same sites will sell the MB Strike Gundam)

does anyone know if this will have the forearm cannon?

Supposedly it either will come with the forearm cannon, or there will be a super-pack add-on for it with the arm cannon.

Hey David. Not sure why you got downvoted for that question. 

But to answer your question, I know based on what everyone posted here and some pics. It will come with Fast Packs, Fold Booster, and an array of missiles. Probably Yang Neumann will be included too.

Yeah. I think as what @spacemanoeuvres mentioned from the previous page, the Arm Cannon was just mentioned in the podcast. But who knows, right? I mean, Bandai included that useless Pin Point Barrier effects on the Frontier VF-19Advance version which we all know it didn't even transformed to Battroid mode for it to use the said effect parts. Maybe this time they will sweetened the deal by including the Arm Cannon.

With fold dildo and the ammo pack ,maybe with out the frontier busters.

I believe the MW podcast has an episode where they discussed the YF-19 display. I want to say they described the arm canon used during competition/testing in M+

 

[seti88]

The arm cannon was discovered in place of the gunpod under the fuselage in fighter mode, discussed in the podcast.
Lets wait and see, hope they don't ultimately decide to remove it...and yes the punch effects would better served to be included here.

yes! that's great news

[eXis10z]

OMG dx yf-19 and mb strike po on same day.

And after the Kairos debacle does that mean lesser competition to po from NY from the people here? I assume it'll be slightly easier.
