Nope-no green tint at all Maybe they took the pictures under a tree I don't feel too bad at the $30 each, but was disappointed pulling them out of the bubble wrap I just went 'oh...these are just sunburt beaters' Guess I got cocky after finding that pre-production display DX VF-1 😛

Who called just a regular sunburnt VF-19?????? You are the winner!! That seller really needs a new phone camera...how in the heck could the colors be that far off. I mean that is WAY off. Auction on left, what I got on the right Sometimes you win, sometimes not.

I've never seen the Gummy GBP before, especially in radioactive strawberry flavor Nice find!

The poor Tomahawk reminds me of Mr Burns s

If anyone has any of the older or newer catalogs I'd love to see them. I think I have a 93 and 94? I've got to do some more digging over the holidays. One goal is to try to reach out to Ron as see if he has any stories to tell about his business over the decades, I'm sure he has quite a few.

That is awesome-thank for posting!

Just noticed something interesting https://www.ebay.com/itm/255845435462?hash=item3b91938846:g:kScAAOSwW4JjgDNV I got both my monsters from Ron @ GTC back in the day (same set of stock, from TCI) The whitebox has a Tatsunoku sticker, while the blue has the standard big west The ones in Japan have the bigwest sticker. Just stupid info for the nerds

Anthony from Wise Guys Hobbies sent over a new video of the warehouse, and did a quick tour https://www.macrossworld.com/the-gtc-legacy-project-part-2-warehouse-introduction/

I say just strap a 4k go-pro on your forehead, and start going through boxes grab box, go through it, rinse and repeat would be a great way to self-inventory and archive in time Imagine you had a video like that from 1985 going through all the cool stuff, it would be an instant classic And if you don't do it, your are punishing the children of the future. So selfish. 😛

Anthony from Wise Guys sent over another video today, I'll get it uploaded tonight. Its an awesome mini-tour of the warehouse where they will be setting things up. Stay tuned! S

Yeah...how about the JVMacross Living-Legacy Project? I'll throw it on the main page too! Grab a camera and start going through boxes.

Ok...think I fixed it I did not know Firefox (or other OSes) might have an issue with HEVC videos...converted to H264 and re-uploaded Please refresh and confirm they work Shawn

I was going to ask around if anyone had an earlier catalog to share, would love to see more of the earlier items. You might want to try a different browser? The videos are there in a desktop browser And I just checked my my phone-they play in CHROME, but Firefox is not seeing them Interesting! Open CHROME

Is there anything you DON'T have!?

I wondered what was wrong with the feet on this one Then looking at another ad, it had a reflective base...someone missed that when they did the extraction from the original image

Hey! That's the factory ad from above. wild.

Yeah good catch! That one in the booklet is literally the same one n the ad, very cool. So the mai photographer/model builder team took a ton of pics of all the dioramas for various uses...and I'm sure those negatives are stuck in a box in someone's attic in Japan fading away 😛

And this one from Imai...that AINT the released version of the 1/72 Gerwalk kit...I think it could be a prototype. Check out the canopy and nosecone. Maybe they we not happy with it, so they decided to quick change it to the 'beak' version that was finally released. vs the BEAK

Yeah, the mecha factory ads are some of my favorites...just awesome I bet they had a lot of fun building those!

digging through more

some more!

Seeing the GTC project pictures has got me all nostalgic...so figured I'd break out some Model kit ads from various magazines I've been collecting since we did the original Model ads page on the legacy site from 2005ish. Hope you enjoy! I'll be doing some official scans in January

Having fun frame stepping into the videos and identifying the specific cases! From video #1, room #1, right wall Top to bottom we have From video #1, room #1, middle right wall I believe we have 6x cases of the Arii 1/100 small missile Regult around the U shape Top of the U on the right I think is the Arii 1/100 Super Gerwalk In the center is the Arii 1/100 Super Fighter and I think that says AR-327 on the box, which could be the Aroo 1/100 Scout Regult On the left wall is a Southern Cross In the hallway Imai 1/100 Tomahawk (not sure which color box) and AR-302 implies the Arii 1/100 Defender
