  1. The Takatoku Destroids from the "Macross Collection Series" are not worth as much as they used to these days....with box and all contents in decent shape they average about 3500 JPY....the 2 Battroids from this set still command a higher resale value, as well as, the Destroid Monster....so if you got anywhere from about 25 to 50 usd for each to account for the proxy fees and int'l shipping fee one would need to pay to buy them straight from a Japan auction or retail shop, then you did well... Here is a full set.... https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/48218-takatoku-toys-macross-collection-series/#comment-1525158 A couple of things to watch for on these collectibles are bad yellowing on the Battroid figures and a poor leg design on the Destroid Monster that often leads to a broken leg...
  2. To milk the mold at least one more time with a "no shading" edition!
  3. Now you have to get the black strap version...
  4. Very nice....I'd just be interested in the box with inserts to hold the pieces....100 usd seems reasonable to me
  5. They seem to be getting them from Kids Logic....but then I'm not sure where Kids Logic is coming up with some of their names...lol
  6. Looking forward to this release....but I wonder why Cyrus\KC is still not referring to it as a "Gnerl Fighter Pod"? Emailed the question....
  7. Apparently the pilot that was initially offered with the early POs is now an "exclusive"....not sure if that means other pilot figs are coming with different faces? Would seem odd for KC not to milk the molds...for example, specific pilots for the missile-type Regults?
  8. Yes, if you are just looking for the Regult without the pilot it seems there are some available now....However, I would suggest to email Kitz Concept first before placing an order customer_service@kitzconcept.com
  9. It's been a long wait.....it'll be great when they finally come through....
  10. You don't remember the scene in SDFM TV where Bodole Zer and Breetai appeared in their battle armor and went berserker on Hikaru's Vermillion Squadron? One of my favorite episodes....
  11. I'm hoping they come through....unlike Bandai, for the most part Macross is KC's main IP license....so can they crank out more than just a couple of items a year?...probably...will they be able to? Only time will tell....I definitely want the Destrods....
  12. KC just sent an update regarding the Kickstarter....looks like he was working on the prod schedule and will now work on tweaking the designs and the molds.... He also said that anyone who backed the kickstarter can buy any item they did not back at the kickstarter price.....
  13. Since I completed my Henkei set a decade ago....I have come across everything you have pictured multiple times....the true diamond of the Macross Henkei set is actually the Takatoku/Marx Super VF-1S.... Without it....no Macross Henkei collection can ever complete... Again....congrats! Good to know there are still collectors out there that still appreciate these older SDFM era items...
  14. Welcome to the exclusive Takatoku Henkei Macross Completist Club....
  15. Doubtful there was any measurable impact for the average consumer...but I always order my stuff and have it shipped via EMS or some other express shipping....I guess to know if things have taken longer to receive we'd need to hear from folks here that go with the proverbial Chinese slow boat to determine if shipping via boat has been any slower to them as of the last year or so....from casual posts I have read on here folks seem to be receiving their stuff in the expected amount of time, some even said they had received their items quicker if you can believe that....so go figure...
  16. If the tariffs go both ways, which do....then probably...it really depends on what is covered in the Chinese side of their tariffs... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxbusiness.com/economy/china-responds-tariffs-us-goods-after-trumps-tariffs-chinese-imports-take-effect.amp The busts likely have nothing to do with the recent usps shenanigans....those busts were part of a months-long investigation from before all the tariff nonsense....
  17. Nah....totally unrelated to current clown show... https://apnews.com/article/usps-china-hongkong-shein-temu-b456d7b6d66780090bd5bef862dfda13
  18. YJA is going to be your best source for these and many other older Macross posters....sometimes Mandarake too.....for YJA you will need to use a proxy...
