  1. This almost looks like an alt universe version of Mad Max.....I have more faith in this film directed by Miller...than I would have for a Star Wars Episode 7 film directed by Lucas....
  2. Chicago as Star Wars mecca??? http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/24/showbiz/chicago-wins-lucas-museum/ So will the "museum" just have Episode 1 thru 6 stuff???.....from the article maybe there will be some Indy stuff too....should be fun....
  3. 28,040 after the Jungle 5% fee, which is basically a paypal fee, or do they no longer charge that? Either way sounds like the market value seems to keep going down for the M& M VF-1Js.....congrats!
  4. I'd take any one of them over the current gold-accented VF-19Kai....
  5. Yamato 1/60 V2 Super VF-1J Max Type - New - 26,500 JPY (before fees and shipping) http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m126566815 Yamato 1/60 V2 Super VF-1J Milia Type - New - 28,500 JPY (before fees and shipping) http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/180552096 Yamato 1/60 V2 VF-1D first release, non-option parts - New - 14,403 JPY (before fees and shipping) http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b158749540 Yamato 1/60 VF-1J Mass Production type - New - 35,000 JPY (before fees and shipping) http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k173612190
  6. Maybe that's why so many are not satisfied with how the fate of the crew of the Megaroad was handled.....seeing Isamu doing what he seems to have always loved to do...flying...was cool.........they should have left it how it ended in Flashback 2012....no need to say that the UNS "lost contact" with them.....it's funny how fans care for fictional characters.....but I guess the way the story now goes....is kind of like a friend or family member gone missing and you never find out their fate......it would bother you....
  7. Vintage Takatoku LCD game - Macross Space Fight - 25,500 JPY (before fees and shipping) http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r115594430
  8. Is the mini sdf-1 still coming out? I'd be interested in the sd sdf-1 if it is a completed toy....or at minimum fully painted kit... But I'll wait and see what the toynami sd sdf-1 looks like...plus it may be a tv version?
  9. Looking forward to where they'll take the series in terms of the antagonist....so far we've had alien aggressors, space whale poachers, maniacal humans and their out of control AI, mankind, the anti-UN, Supervision Army, Protoculture-created bio-weapons, and maniacal cyborgs and their manipulated bio-weapon-equipped-time-space-fold-networking space insects (or something like that!)...... Watched Macross Zero recently...and the premise of the Bird Human reminded me of the movie Prometheus....wonder if there are other "Bird "humans" out there on other planets....like Zola...ready to wipe them out if they get too close to bringing war-like ways to the universe....then again, are the Zolans yet another creation of the Protoculture?...I thought I read somewhere that they were...but not 100% sure....
  10. Generally, anything that sells on Mandarake can be considered a deal. Their prices do not reflect free market prices...a similar item will sell for more on auction...where the amount of collectors vying for the same item are free to bid up to what they feel it is worth....free market price... Mandarake is essentially a collectibles pawn shop.....they pay as little as possible for their stock....and thus can price it less than market prices....good for buyers....bad for the sellers coming into their shops....
  11. Great! That means the backhanded compliment given to you is fully negated!!! Clear skies ahead!!!
  12. Yeah...that's a nice Ishtar, but I think I'll hold out for a nicer one.....or better yet a nice VF-2SS cel! Thanks for the heads up on it though.
  13. The frequency in which this thread's integrity gets compromised....reminds me of several US retailer "secured" customer databases! No worries....I guess Macross collecting is more than just watching the numbers...so it's fun to discuss what they "mean".....as long as we also keep posting those actual sales.....
  14. In the Macross Universe....is there anything that governs the UNS/NUNS like the "prime directive" from Star Trek? Is there any back story of what happened when the UNS encountered the Zolans? It seems that the Zolans are the only sentient species the UNS has encountered that did not begin with blowing them up/or getting blown up by them....
  15. If you've been collecting Macross since SDFM TV....you'd know it's all about "feast or famine".....without the recent announcement of a new Macross show....we most likely would have been approaching another stretch of "lean times" for Macross collecting.....like after DYRL and arguably until Yamato came onto the scene (unlike the original SDFM, there really wasn't much to collect in terms of toys* during the Macross 7 era or Macross II/Plus).....we've been pretty spoiled ever since.... Macross is "hot" again...and has been for several years now....in terms of what is available to the Macross collector.....thanks to the upcoming new show....I don't see that slowing down.....(barring a complete fail of the new show in Japan)....we'll have to wait and see So "The" Golden Age of Macross collecting........no.............just a new, much more diverse and sustained one.....thanks to Yamato/Arcadia...Bandai.....the popularity of Macross F.....the 30th anniversary of the franchise....and hopefully the new show will keep fans interested enough for Macross merchandising to remain a profitable endeavor! * Actually, it was more or less in terms of anything.....for Macross 7, only a handful of "toys" were released, very few dedicated books....there were many CDs though....Macross II...one book? One kit?.....Macross Plus had nothing except a couple of books.......you can probably forgive the low merchandise for MII/Plus as they were OVA....but M7 was a televised series so not sure why Bandai did not exploit that merchandising license....
  16. So it can smirk at the enemy?
  17. ...and that's what Arcadia should be concerned mostly with....
  18. At that price...until it actually sells...it may as well go here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=18530 or here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41092
