seti88 Posted September 24, 2018 Author Posted September 24, 2018 tekering, you probably need to mr laquer the inevitable 21 too, in order to match your "naked" yf-19? The 21 cant be louder than the 19 right? after guld is the "quiet" type compared to isamu... Quote

Expand True and I agree sir. But to some who's more into 'anime-accurate' ones, that YF-21 looks fine to them. Quote
Mommar Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Just imagine the entirely unnecessary tampo Bandai could put on a YF-21. Quote
Zx31 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Well, there's all that surface area. It'd be a shame not to fill it with idols. Quote

That's why I personally like stickers as an option, but I know they aren't very popular (and seem to be falling out of favor). Quote
no3Ljm Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 And lots of NO STEPs on the wings. Btw, Tekering, hope you don't mind. Bandai should update that blue color too. Quote

Shizuka the Cat Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 YAY! I am so excited, DHL revised the estimated delivery of my YF-19 from Wednesday to today. Given that it was shipped out on Saturday, if it arrives in just 2 days, I think DHL will be my go to for any future orders. Quote

If a butterfly so much as glances in their direction, they fall off. But at least they go back on, so it's just really annoying more than anything else. Expand Glad that you’re finally getting the hang of it. Like what I said before, feels like most negative reviews are from people who’ve never handled a toy like this before. You have to be very delicate with it, be familiar with the tolerances, and know exactly how to transform it. Regarding the tail fins, I don’t have that issue. I was actually wondering about what people were complaining until you mentioned it was them falling off. Strange, I don’t think that was ever an issue even on the Advance. Quote
Negotiator Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 My ami+dhl was originally scheduled to arrive Wednesday but instead received it this morning in so cal. Almost missed it but dogs woke me up and had to flag the truck down on his way out of my block. Meanwhile. Hlj hasn't shipped yet. Quote

Expand I think it’s fair . The adv does have a different look and the fastpack are a military green which I think makes it look better than the blue. The blue just blends in too well that it just looks plain. also that’s it for the vf-19 adv , they aren’t gonna make more , so I don’t think you will find it for less than msrp . Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 My first one arrived at home from amiami. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 DHL says they'll drop off today. EMS already tried to deliver, but nobody to sign. So I guess trip to the post office tomorrow, but at least the one from DHL will be here. Quote
ArchieNov Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Yes I know it is silly, but I kinda do like the look of the fold booster attached in battroid mode. Even cooler is that the figure has no problems holding it despite the weight. Quote

Mounting the Gunpod along the Arm Cannon in Battroid mode but make the 'gunpod hinge holder' folded lke how it mounts vertically in Fighter mode. Thanks!

F360 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 I’m sure you can’t really use a fold drive like that. It would make other wmd useless. Quote

kajnrig Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Well, the YF-19's fold booster is only rated for a single fold jump, so that's not a concern. HMMMMmmmm.... Quote
CF18 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 So watching all the reviews, my only disappointment is that the unit only come with 8 missile mounting pieces, so you get all those missiles but not enough pieces to mount them on the VF-31s and VF-171s. Quote
Trifalger Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Well this has privately been my plan for some time in the case I couldn't cope with the heels but it seems like it's an easy job to swap either the heel or the entire foot of the VF-19 over to the YF-19. Quote

The adv heal is too long and no one likes clown feet. Also, got shipping notice today! Yay! Got it sent via DHL so that should mean I'll have it before the weekend! Quote
