technoblue Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 I'm waffling on the PF version too. I have their original full set pack release, Bandai's VF-19 and their YF-19 too. I think Arcadia is going to have to do something along the lines of the 0D to get me to budge this time. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 I have the bandai releases but I don't have any of the Arcadia/Yamato 19s so I'm going to grab this one. I don't know if I would splurge for it if I had any of the previous Arcadia/Yamato releases. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 The original Arcadia release (in my opinion) is superior to the Bandai in fighter mode, especially for anime-accurate looks. It's not as good for battroid, and lacks a lot of tampo however. Quote
505thAirborne Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Was the 1st Arcadia YF-19 (non PF) this expensive? I feel like the price tag went way up on this one. Quote
jenius Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 I'm going to wait and see if any webshops decide to carry the PF version before I make a proxy purchase. I've been burned now by using proxies on two Arcadia website exclusives just to end up paying more than I would have had waited for webshops to carry them. Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 If they do a -normal- PF version I might bite for one, and sell off one of my originals.. but I just want tampos, not any of the panel lining or shading. Quote

I do know it went on discount, and I bought mine marked down a bit (¥22,960). Quote

While it's way past my budget I am very curious to see what their PF Version will look like. Wonder if Arcadia will go the VF-0D route? Quote
no3Ljm Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 I'm not sure if Mr.K is referring to the YF-19's weathering version on his latest tweet: Google Translate: "Unfortunately, weathering painting cannot be achieved, but please consider it. Thank you." Quote

So not the "weathered" version.....was sort of hoping it would be.....maybe it was a PITA to have done the VF-0D "weathered" so they are steering away of another one for now.....guess I'll be saving some money on this "PF" release.... Quote
no3Ljm Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Or probably lots of Japanese customers complaints of paint rubbing on the VF-0D? Quote

"Please consider it?" Japanese is a poor language to begin with, but Google is particularly bad at translating it. It's more like "I'm afraid the weathering wasn't possible. Thank you for your understanding." Machine translation may yet become a reality, but for now it's still a pipe dream... Quote
scand Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 I'm sensing a shelf-warmer. Hopefully the wings will stay in place on this one. Quote

Yeah, that's not happening without a redesign of the mechanism... which technically exists, if you don't mind sacrificing high-speed mode, and doing some disassembly and parts swapping. I'm not sure if the parts are available right now though, I'm going to have to see if they can still be ordered. I'm fine with no weathering at least, but my wallet is still going to be jumpy until we know for sure whether a normal PF will happen. Quote

And yet....it pretty much assisted any non-Japanese reader understand that there would be no "weathering" version released this time around...seriously, it's not like we are requiring Google to translate some legal document or medical terminology critical to a life or death decision.... Google Translate keep getting better all the time! Quote

Mommar Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) The weathering really only made sense on the 0D anyway. It literally is supposed to look like it's been exposed to sea spray. None of the other Valks from any series have that same look. Panel lining and tampo are fine. Man, I don't know. The FromJapan shipping price was ludicrous. Is there anyplace actually cheaper anymore though? Edited February 25, 2021 by Mommar Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Sooooo, hopefully HLJ puts this up on their page so I can avoid paying proxy fees and consolidate shipping. Quote

Mac Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 I wonder if Arcadia fixed issues with the Yamato one on this release and not just some panel lining and more tampo.... Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Might be able to get one through Anime Export, but don't know how their price will be, and not sure if their new options to pay later would apply. I wouldn't mind waiting until September to pay for this one, if I can. It does look like they're going forward with the whole panel lining deal again, but I only now realized just how few panel lines the Arcadia YF-19 even has to fill in, so it doesn't really stick out like it did on the VF-4. Quote
Mac Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 AmiAmi has the pre-order up for the re-issue if anyone is interested. https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-002551 Quote

Sandman Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Finally! Been waiting for a pf yf-19 to get the intake warnings tampooed. Though it should've been on the regular release to begin with. Quote
Sandman Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Maybe Nippon-Yassen will carry the pf? JK! Couldn't hold in my laughter typing that. Quote

When I think of weathering on the YF-19....I think of how it would have looked after brawling with the YF-21..... Quote
MKT Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 The PF price.. is just hard to justify, not only just against Bandai’s, but against their own, normal version that’s been sitting below MSRP for some time now. Normal release circa 20k yen on secondary market, vs PF at more than double the price... Quote
