    I'm looking forward to getting mine. :thumb s Strange thing is, I've spent the most on 1/48s & 1/60s, but I never had the urge to get em' the minute they're released. Same with the SV-51, I'll just sit back and enjoy the ride.

    You'll have a hard time finding one for under $160 before shipping.

    Mine's still sitting in the box--not the package, the box it came shipped it. Large Pile of Loot = long delays in opening new toys.

    Duh, it's Macross. They all have Gerwalk modes.

    However, on the 19, it's definitely the weakest mode of the three, as essentially, to form it, you need to disconnect all the locking tabs on it (which are in the arms and shins). So it's a floppy mess, with only gravity holding it together. Looks good on a display stand, at least.

    Yeah that's the only think I think is iffy on the -19, otherwise it is THE most gorgeous robot/aircraft combination I've ever seen!

    Never cared for the gerwalk mode, I will always find it silly. Looks more like a fan mode than anything.

    So stoked I went out and bought VF-0S and Super Armor for my VF1J. I also somehow grabbed Revoltech Prime, 2 TRU Soundwaves and 2 keychains. It was worth the 3 hour fight with my wife. That VF-0 is amazing. YF-19 still gets my vote for the best. Want a black/grey Lo-Vis so bad.

    heheh. i was just being ironic. it always amuses me when TF fans react to new TF plane molds and ask 'does it have a gerwalk mode'.

    Ok, I remembered that there was a forum where I could get news on the latest news on Japanese toys.

    Possibly the forums for toyboxdx.com or sgcollect.com. Either one works. At least, they're the ones I usually wind up going to.
