Got a preparation in progress notice from NY

[sh9000]

Just checked my email.  Same here.

[Saviant]

Just got an email from nippon that the YF-19 is up again, 29800 yen

[kazuo]

If you have a credit card that has no FTF, pay N-Y in JPY, and use the slowest JP Post shipping option, you can get it for ~$285 USD delivered.

[takatoys]

The fold booster is so detailed! Expensive, but this new YF-19 is worth each dollar.

[nightmareB4macross]

This is a definite must buy. The quality and accessories really make the price with purchasing.

[onnasake]

Home from work to see that IT HAS SHIPPED!!

I'm in Saitama and I think it's coming from Tokyo, so there's a very good chance I'll have it on Saturday, the 22nd....release day.  

 

Man.....this excitement is really helping me not think about the fact that this was the most expensive single toy item I've ever bought.  I'm not used to dropping this kind of cash but thankfully it looks really awesome, so I'm hoping I'll have zero regrets.

Looks like NY is out of stock already. Anyone who wants to get this post release better have a web-monitor set up, or be stalking this thread.

First 2 minutes - features of Yf-19 Full Set Pack, other time - VF-19 Advance transformation video

Preparation in progress at NY

[TrickyCustomer]

I saw this on YouTube and thought it was the new mplus version review but sadly only get a short glimpse of it at the start.

No point reshooting a new video for transformation right...

back again n again increase the price

[Sildani]

Speaking of... back in stock at NY for ¥31,600. 

[Xigfrid]

Those VF-19 and YF-19 are generous packs for a DX toy, a lot of accessories and a lot of posing hours for their values

[brouken]

Anybody get a payment notification from Amiami yet? My lone pre-order for the DX YF-19 is with them, and I'm getting worried that they haven't asked for payment yet, considering this will be released in a couple of days.

At first I was thinking that I went overboard, but the more I look at pics the more I think I want to get up one more. 

-b.

[TrickyCustomer]

I got a notification from NY that they were back in stock too. I got mine ordered through nin nin game, two from nippon figures based out of Italy and the last one from ami ami which I haven't paid for yet. I'm selling off most of my collection now so will only keep a few choice valks. 

[mickyg]

Anyone get any request for payment from CD Japan?

And is it just me, or did that pictorial on the new bird, show a revised elbow joint? I could swear it looks like the range of motion is better than on the Advance. 

[onnasake]

So far the only disappointing thing I've noticed is there doesn't seem to be an optional piece for you want a one-seater, like the Arcadia.  I guess it's just always configured as a two-seater.

Cdjapan doesn’t do payment request .

you either already paid or your creditcard is already authorized.

[easnoddy]

Got one for 31600 yen from NY. $320 shipped or so. 

[Cowboy17]

Ended up cancelling my pre-order at HLJ. Decided I didn't like the SPACEY and NETFC printing on the wings.  

[nightmareB4macross]

Can’t wait for this to arrive.  The added armaments and weaponry make this a must for me.

Same question  I haven't receive it yet, but also the way  AmiAmi  work is that until they have the item in stock they can go ahead and create the estimate of the shipping cost and finally send you/send us the payment request, another thing to know if AmiAmi had a stock but ran out  the item page will change from "preorder closed " to "Order closed".

Stupid me posting this in the wrong thread.

Oh, the way the gunpod stores into the arm cannon... C'mon, Bandai. Actually I'm just being nitpicky, it's crazy enough that they got it working at all, but still, making it sit horizontal and off-center? Ew ew ew.

 

[AlphaOne]

Looks like it can still be attached vertically and centered

[jenius]

I thought the official release date was 9/22?

[kajnrig]

I want to be encouraged by that pic, but this IS Bandai... Meh. I'm sure I'll find out for sure when jenius's review goes up, and whatever the case, it's not a big deal anyway.
