Maybe they already have VF-19F & S in the pipeline . 

 

I don't doubt.  If they aren't cutting steel for the molds necessary for the Blazer specific parts, I'm sure they already have all the necessary 3D data done, validated and ready to go to the toolmaker.

Up early for pre-order at AE, that's one (hoping for at least 3-4 )

Edit: Also up on Big In Japan (I've had good service with them for a few DX orders now), and there doesn't seem to be a limit, so grabbed two more there.

As early as last night when the links were posted in the PO thread.

Hah, guess I haven't been keeping up with the thread.

Preordered 2 from the same store with private warehouse option selected.

I got 2 via a proxy, no muss, no fuss.

I'm wondering whether this one will hit clearance sales after release.  If it starts showing up discounted on Amazon later, I'll probably grab a few more for customs.

Ugh at that price definitely sticking to one. I'll just have to be satisfied with my Yamato version.

I'll definitely get a 3rd if I find it cheap at Amazon or Mandarake so that I can leave one in Fighter mode and the other in Battroid mode.  I've seen the Fire Valkyrie go for pretty cheap so I'm crossing my fingers.  I'll keep my Yamato 1/60 in one mode.

There will probably be plenty on Mandarake after release.

This should be an easy custom.

At that point, unless you actually want the half-coated fighter mode, it'd be a lot less work just swapping the head and shoulder fins to a normal Fire Valk, and touching up the parts that aren't already red.  

I'm thinking something more like this:

I've been wanting to make one of this type for a while, but I really want to take that even a step further, and customize it into a short-winged variant.  

I'm much more comfortable experimenting on an HMR than I am with one of my old Yammies, so I'm going to see if I can't find a way to print up some conversion parts for the wings and wing gloves.

Yeah that's definitely how I would make the custom.  Although I'd have to get a spare Fire Valkyrie and that scheme is not high on my list.

I usually make customs of canon schemes but Skull Squadron variants are always welcome.

Painting over yellow really sucks though.
