Yamato & Bandai Macross Toys

That's pretty arguable IMO, those pieces are no more parts-forming than the intake covers normally are.
I'm glad they included them for people to use if they want to.
Without them, no one would think it any less "perfect transformation" than the original VF-19 don't you think?

Personally, a bit annoying/disappointing as I don't like having loose bits floating around. Definitely not a deal breaker tho, I will still be happy to have it.

Yeah, i've done a real number on myself watching Macross 7 in preparation.. while the cartoon is pretty samey (oh, Basara saves the day again!), it has it's moments nonetheless.

But.. and i'm a bit ashamed, i've become quite addicted to Fire Bomber music! I nabbed the "Best Collection" from here... it must just appeal to my butt rock tastes, but i'm looking forward to having it playing while playing with the new VF-19!

The beauty of strong joints!

Now they just need to show us a pic of the toy upside down with the chest staying in place

I finally got around to ordering a YF-19 (Bird of Prey). I'm eagerly awaiting its arrival and am considering getting into the Macross shows (I've got Macross Zero kicking around on a hard drive but no English subs for it )

Final question about the 19 before I stop bugging people - does it have side to side leg articulation at the hip?

[SharkyMcShark]

Actually never mind that last question - the review on Macrossworld shows that metal hip bars allow the legs to move outwards for poses.

Right now to spend the next two weeks anticipating this arriving...

Subs been have been out on that for ages.

Whats the YF-19 Bird of Prey?

[kurdt_the_goat]

YF-19 Bird of Prey is a redeco of the original 1/60 YF-19.
Yamato released it in 2009 along with another, Double Nuts
They're both supposedly prototypes from after the story of Macross Plus, inspired from some other source material (i think).

You can grab Macross Zero (& pretty much everything else) from this site with subs! They only let you download 3 files a day though

hey you can find one @ amiami... not sure if you are after this one or the one with the armour parts...

he is placed on backorder... but from my experience with amiami, they usually do fulfill backorders. Order may take up to 2 weeks though...
