  1. Those are nice....I need to dig mine out...there are about 4 or 5 different sets...oddly enough, I have never run into any that have actually been painted...you could be the first!
  2. TV-Kun, October 1982.....
  3. B-Club Special Yuji Kaida Artworks - Meganix....this books contains several illustrations from Yuji Kaida...illustrator of all the superb box art from the legendary Bandai Hi-Metal 1/55 scale Macross DYRL toys.... The book is light on Macross but contains many illustrations from several anime shows such as Gundam, Dunbine, and Patlabor...
  4. Probably not compiled in any one book. You may be able to find some info in magazines such as B-Club or Great Mechanics...but I do not collect them so not sure which specific issues may have the info you are looking for. Perhaps Sketchley or Mr. March can chime in or you can reach out to them directly, I believe they collect the magazines that may contain the info you are seeking.
  5. http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1023974600&ref=list
  6. Have been killing some time during lunch with these on my Android.....
  7. Wife: And what did you spend on that Macross junk this time? Collector: What? This junk? 20 bucks...don't worry about it!!!
  8. How does one make a profit in the "gaming" hobby? Vintage games or is there some secret illicit gaming black market out there???
  9. Do you just feel this way about collectibles? The "concept" pretty much applies to everything with a perceived value in our free market economy....cars, homes, rent, degrees, you name it! You may have been "price-jacked" today and didn't even realize it? Enjoy electricity? Gasoline?
  10. Complete set of Macross 7 Trash Spanish language edition published by Editorial Ivrea from Argentina...... Been looking for a complete set for a while.......the search is finally over.......I guess I'll have to read them....someday!
  11. During a precise time of the day, in direct sunlight, it would be "greenish".....
  12. Well...I guess if you break down the combo as getting both a VF-1A and SSP set....the SSP are market rate ($150 or so) and the VF-1A is the new Arcadia going rate for new VF-1 releases....so around $300+ or so combined....plus if you wait for possible Arcadia re-releases...the Kaki -1A will be pinkish-white...and the SSP might be way off...as apparently Arcadia can't do shades of blue correctly....
  13. Maybe because it was the last on many collector lists....they slowly sold out at clearance and now folks are scrambling for what becomes available? Good example of supply vs demand I suppose.
  14. Downloaded ROMs of Macross II and Macross Plus for MAME4Android.....awesome time wasters!
  15. Cels, art, sketches, and any items with signatures are among the most difficult to place a value on. Most times the item is "one-of-a-kind". As a result, the value is highly subjective. In the end, the item is worth what the seller is willing to part with it for and more importantly what the buyer is willing to pay for it. Open, non-reserve auctions are usually the best way to gauge the value of such items. Even then, it could still be influenced by "the right buyer, at the right time". For example, the signed poster you listed has been on eBay for weeks, if not months....is it not "worth" the asking price?....or has the "right" buyer not come along?
  16. You can find Macross posters on ebay and Yahoo Japan Auctions.....If I ever get a chance, I'll post what I have in the For Sale thread. Most Japanese Macross posters will be B2-sized...however, there are some B1-sized available too (closer to standard sized US movie posters)....the B1-sized Macross theatrical posters will set you back $100 or more depending on condition...and they are harder to find than their B2 equivalents. Many really nice Macross posters were also freebies (furoku) included in vintage anime magazines...those go for anywhere between $15-$100 depending on rarity and condition. This one in my collection is priceless....
  17. I'd suggest you post an inquiry on value in the "What's it Worth?" thread...but like the fold drives on the SDF-1...it seems to have vanished.... Anything...and everything imaginable..... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showforum=42
  18. No worries.....I did, however, intentionally title the thread Macross Collectibles Market Watch... But, yeah, for a great majority on MW, it is ALL ABOUT THE VALKS... (I collect those too)
  19. Macross collecting is more than just about the "valks".....plenty of good deals are still occasionally to be had on ebay if you collect more than just Macross toys....
  20. Nice stuff...I like old catalogs
  21. But, if they were to pass onto each consecutive owner through the millennia as MIBMISSB, would it have matter if they were damaged? Eventually, they would have crumbled anyway.....it already happens to some of these toys out of the box!
  22. Yeah...I think some MW members have chimed in about their scores..... I wonder if the seller just decided to exit the hobby or concentrate on another area of Macross collecting...I think I have seen that seller sell other stuff like cels....the guy easily made over 10K USD.....probably would have been double if he had sold everything off during Macross Panic One....
