  1. ...that costs 10 bucks!

    Hi-Metal R

    Well....we kind of already got to see how it would have looked for the Hi-Metal Strike Hikaru.....now we just need his boxart for the Elint and SuperO!....Oh, and the VF-1A Hikaru!
  3. Oh he'll quit some day.....but Tenjin or someone else will be there to carry the Macross torch....Macross Forever! Good idea on the spreadsheet....the trick would be to keep it up to date....
  4. I agree. I also would like to know what folks are planning on doing with all of their loot when it's lost its luster or the time comes for it or you to go? In my opinion, the worst possible scenario would be to have your kids sell off your stuff at a yard sale! Oh, that's some "Macross" sketch my Dad had hanging on the wall....20 bucks you say? Sold! Sure, I'll thrown in the bluray! I'm thinking that at some point I will sell it all to avoid something like that. In the meantime, my wife knows what the stuff is worth in case of a sudden exit....sorry fellow Macross collectors!

    Hi-Metal R

    Almost there...and with plenty of bonuses for the Macross loyal fans of the past 30+ years! Hi-Metal R(espect)!
  6. OK...maybe 79 dollars which is what I paid for the MPP-10!
  7. No, I think that MWer recasted his own fan racer...it's a KO but not one of the Chinese KO's that people are getting all upset about.... I'm curious about the VF-1 KO, but I'm waiting for someone else to "waste" their money before I "waste" mine!
  8. ...and
  9. Guess no one is quite ready to quit on Macross collecting...
  10. Ok...good job....but now one with the VF-1J's and Glaug's arms knocked off!
  11. I know Yamato.....Arcadia is no Yamato....
  12. How well would these scale to a 1/60 Yamato/Arcadia/KO () VF-1? if it were to scale similar to how the HMR Regult scales to an HMR VF-1....you might be able to drum up some additional sales.... How about painting services?
  13. Kenny Rogers' wisdom works well for collecting too!
  14. Your best bet is to make a list of everything you want to sell, find out what the current market selling prices are, and then set some realistic prices if you want to sell quickly....basically, you want to get the most out of your investments, but also offer a lower cost option to your buyers than what they would have to pay via ebay or YJA.....that is if you want quick sales.....if you want to try to get the most cash....auctions may work better, but are more work as you have to list each one individually.... Maybe PM Davidwangchoi...he's a good seller and prices his stuff fairly...he has sold many VFs recently.....he should be able to guide you in the right direction...
  15. Yep...right along with you....
  16. Just Kawamori throwing out some ideas before everything that actually made it onto the show was finalized...if anything it looks to me an idea that eventually was adapted for the Tomahawk.... Here is another example of early concept Valkyrie "add-ons"..... ...which then was likely adapted here....
  17. Bandai HI-METAL R VF1-J Armored Valkyrie.....11,510 JPY https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w181963614
  18. The good thing about Macross Cel or Art collecting is that there is no way you could ever have a "complete" collection in the same way you could the mass-produced toys, figurines or even the books and other media. So as long as you have some set goal and adhere to it, you could keep collecting as long as it remains enjoyable and/or affordable to continue doing so. The only thing that I would advise against is quitting if you are not ready to quit. You will find yourself obsessing about it too much and trying to justify your decision all the time. If you can walk away from the "game" and still come back and "enjoy" seeing what others have without feeling the urge to rationalize your decision to quit...or worse, starting up again...then you are officially over collecting. If you cannot do that, coming back to "peek" is the worst thing you can do if you really want to quit collecting. As you have said, the urge to collect is no different that the urge to drink, smoke, or any other addictive habit. Some collectors just have to go "cold turkey".
  19. Not yet...have you?

    1/1800 SDF-1?

    No real info on it yet....possibly just a prototype for a 1/3000 version....if it will be released, it would make sense to release it sometime next year during DYRL's 35th Anniversary...
  21. With "friends" like that..... https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/jun/05/star-wars-biggest-collector-steve-sansweet-theft Hope he can recover all or most of his stuff.....
