NOTE: I can't ship HLJ items to countries other than Australia. I'll post in the for sale section if I am successful at securing my POs. I'm an Australian resident so this is good to know! thanks for the heads up kind sir! Quote

spacemanoeuvres Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Beautiful display; now I know what to do with my spare room...when I get one Quote
derex3592 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 I still HATE the GIANT WHITE WRITING on the wings.. I'll keep my Arcadia for now. Quote
lechuck Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 It's kind of weird the box has "Full Set Pack" labelling, but the depiction of the YF-19 is in bare bones trim. Quote
Scyla Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 I guess red-black paint error on the chest and leg fins is here to stay? Quote
Zx31 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) The chest paint isn't an error, it's a design difference that creates a gap over the red stripe that isn't there in the art. The legs are fixed on the box art and promo images, so the display piece is most likely still a hand painted proto. Edited July 27, 2018 by Zx31 Quote

derex3592 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 I think now I see what annoys me about the Bandai offering -- Battroid looks to skinny -- fighter looks good, but the Arcadia battroid looks beefier and more like a bruiser like in the anime, to each their own. I'll prob wish I got this when they announce a new 21 sometime soon... Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Anime magic, it's hard to have both battroid and fighter be accurate for the designs older than frontier (when they used CAD models and CGI to keep things consistent). Quote

Well, I would offer the idea of having some time to recharge your wallet by assuming Bandai would do the Macross Delta VF-22 Immelman first....but chances are you will be getting that one too! Quote

I guess a YF-21/VF-22 is in the works as they could milk this along with the VF-19 for M7 line, along with some changes. What i really hope is that bandai will do an improved rendition of the VF-17S/D But before these, i would love for a YF-19 super nova version to be released too Edited July 28, 2018 by recon Quote

And though it may just be an early sample on display--the chest-stripes are still backwards. I'll wait for an "anime-accurate-colors" version. (that may end up being never, but I'm not paying $$$$$ for huge ugly tampos that are wholly inaccurate/inappropriate and would be extremely hard to correct due to overlapping multiple colors) Quote
