34:30 You can also remove the green visor. That makes the battroid looks just like in the maintaince scene that appears in Macross Plus for a split second.

They should make a full pack version of the vf-1 that includes fast packs, missiles, and GBP armor.

Just got this in the mail a few days ago. Sure enough, when I opened it, the head laser was broken. Nothing a little superglue can't handle, but still. Just one of those things that you kinda wish you didn't have to do.

Hi there, I've figured out why the blue square "flap" piece that sits behind the neck/head does not sit flush or fully connect or latch onto the peg. If you lift that piece up, you will probably notice the end of that cockpit window (deep underneath) just needs a very small extra "tuck" back under the "backpack" structure. Use a little gentle force to push it back more and you should hear it pop into place. Then you will be able to close and nicely lock that blue square securely down. I saw you had mentioned this issue in your other transformation video and, I discovered the resolve last night on mine. Love your videos! Thanks for sharing!

I have one of these. It was worth every single penny.

Awesome review! I found on my YF-19 that as long as I use the barrel joint, it is possible to mount the gun to the arm cannon in the central position and it won't touch the ground when the fighter is resting on its landing gear. (This is with the super packs installed, so the legs are in the slightly lower position - I'm not sure if the gun would still have clearance in the clean fighter mode).

The all-important articulated tow bar.

I regret missing out on the Arcadia YF-19, but I just picked up the Bandai YF-19 to make up for the missed opportunity and display alongside my old Yamato 1/60 and 1/72 versions.

Could you please update or make a new video analyzing the 1/60 ARCADIA YF-19 Premium Finish version please? A comparison between the 1/60 ARCADIA YF-19 Premium Finish version and the BANDAI DX YF-19 would be great appreciated. I think that now the 1/60 ARCADIA YF-19 Premium Finish version is superior than the BANDAI DX YF-19 version. Thank You !!!

I do soo hope for a DX VF-11

I feel the vf-19 advance was better quality. Your issues are the exact same as mine. Good review.

Another deco difference to point out between Bandai's VF-19 and YF-19 is thay they un-swapped the red and black on those smaller stabilizers on the front (or bottom, depending on mode) of the legs on the YF-19. That always bothered me like hell on the Advance. Thank you for pointing out the articulation difference in the legs, btw. An excellent review as always, and I'm looking forward to adding this to my collection of beige Valkyries.

Really wish bandai would reissue their high-end Macross figures more often, I really don't feel like selling a kidney to be able to get one

Great review, waited ages for this lol, but glad to know that my YF-19 arriving sometime next week was the right call. I hastily ordered two, so hopefully I can sell one off without losing any money.

I gotta get this one. Oh great videos please keep them coming!!!

I would love to see them re-release all the Macross line in a 1/100 scale. Yes. Smaller means adding playability and sturdiness..

I got mine yesterday via an Amazon retailer (u$s400). Head laser was fine and I have the issue with Battroid mode and that cover in the back was popping out. The solution is to first lock that cover and then close the chest down until it clicks and it never pops out again.

Thank you for the review now iam going have to buy it thank you so much you really do a good job

i have the same problem with the back. Sometimes it locks nicely, sometimes there is no way that bay door stays in place

I just got mine today. This thing has soooo much detail! Definitely worth the $320 I paid for mine! The only decal that is missing is Isamu’s full name just below the canopy...I know it’s petty but they had payed attention to so much detail I’m just surprised they overlooked that.

The vertical stabilizers do not just click back on. On of mine popped when I open the toy and never have been able to reconnect it.

Super nice review! Please help me to decide,, I really love the SMS version but the lacks of swivel joints for spreading legs more for gerwalk mode really turn me down... From your opinion,, is the swivel joints worth the upgrade? For the records,, I don't care about the other differences

Are we going to get a video comparing the new DX Chogokin YF-19 Excalibur (Isamu Dyson Use) to this one?

If anyone comes up with alternative way to clipping the vertical stabilizers. I was thinking there might be a way to change that pressure hinge with a normal hinge. The person that comes of with a fix you could sell it in a kit and probably make a little extra income

As someone who spent a pretty penny on the VF-19 advance (lets face, it we all did); Do i need to go out and buy the Bandai YF-19 or are they basically the same aside from a reskin? Macross Plus is one of my favourite series but I think i can live with the SMS decals.

"This toy was released in September 2018" *five years ago*

wow.. these jet robots are so cool..

Everytime I see the movie I hate Bandai for so little details left of. They put the arm cannon that appears for 2 seconds. They make the armor in the head and the visor removable just like in the split second you see them when they are doing maintenance to the battroid. They change the canopy to the two opposite sided open just like in the OVA/Movie, but they left behind both of the one seated cabin and the shield post Isamu's ejection of Newmann. And the removable magazine for the gun and the hability to holster magazine and gun behind the shield was a nice touch on the Arcadia. You where so close, Bandai. So damn close.

I have a question. Does the articulations become easily loose just like for the YF-29 durandal (shoulders joints)?

Bandai almost hit it out of the park with this one. What is up with those vertical stabilizers. Of all the ways you could attach them to the jet.

Great review!!

Man that looks awesome

I need this!!!

i hope bandai will release yf-19 that are not full set just standard yf-19 with guns and some missiles not a fan of that fold pod and fast packs :p

Could make a more natural pose with those leg rockets by just using one at a time

‘Happy Console Gamer’ led me here!

Hello, thanks for your upcoming release schedule. Hope to get one of these things close to MSRP one of these days. Do you happen to know if bandai will be making any version of SDF1 and or vf-0? Does Arcadia have rights to these items? Thanks for your time

Are the missiles compatble with the VF-31 and other Bandai fighters that have hard points?

I see where ace combat got there idea for the morgan

Great vid as always Is the ordinance also compatible with the older vf 117s and yf 30 that have missile slots under the wings??? Im guessing it does

I don't know if you mentioned that the hip joint could be too tight and how to fix it. Anyhow, thanks for the review

Is it worth $378 if I own the vf19 advanced?

This or Arcadia's?

I just really wanna know how tall they are, between a mastergrade. no body even bothered to show comparison between a valkyrie and a mobile suit.

Hope bandai will re-issue of this, now the price is too unreasonable...

Where can I find Bandai DX Ozma Lee Yf-29 for a reasonable price? Cause everywhere I search is damn expensive or is Bandai goin to release again?

What happened to your hand, it is all scratched. Too much transformations?

So how long till the Fire Excalibur version?

The Bandai has much better penal lining than Arcadia

Dammm... again, that vertical stabilizer...

Is this plastic or diecast??

Hi again nail guns HOME DEPOY help give that luck in as you did kind Sir with scale Bandi toy models.😂😂😂😃😃😃

Naaniii!!!!toy??!!!

Wife is 19? (yf 19). Joking.
