Honestly, I am one of those "needs to have a box" types....so if I were you I would be working on getting my money back.... Here is what I found on Amazon...if you paid the same or especially if you paid more...I would file a complaint and get my money back via whatever method you used to pay for the mazinger.....that way you can replace it either right away or when you receive your refund... http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B008GM4KWS/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new Personally, no box for me equals no buy....but if I had to assign loss as a percentile...I'd say 10-30% of current market value.....depending on how hard to find or rare the item is....for example a vintage hard to find toy with no box but otherwise complete... Good Luck...and honestly, I think it would help to know what vendor had the nerve to think it was OK to send you the toy with no shipping box...it's ridiculous really...for a $400 item?!?!? If you do not want to out the vendor...PM me....so i can avoid them....

I own all the MtF books...text-only script works for me....

How did you pay for it?....Was it described as being in mint box?....If you paid via paypal or eBay....you should be covered including shipping....Most credit cards also provide some sort of purchase protection....the key is to take action quickly....there are time limits in which you are allowed to file a complaint to try and get your money back.... Who was the seller?....Which Mazinger Z?

You guys with your fancy pant, new wave, perfect transformation and lineart accuracy valks......

I also hope that Arcadia revives the 1/60 Macross line...even if it is only as online exclusives.....paces them out....almost like a subscription...2-3 a year.... The prices above, with the possible exception of the VF-4G, I would say are not scalping prices...just market prices based on a demand created by the belief that Arcadia has indeed abandoned the 1/60 line.....we are basically seeing within months...what took years to happen to the old Takatoku/Bandai 1/55 prices......I am thinking history will repeat itself....maybe not soon...but eventually....someone, if not Arcadia, will buy the Yamato molds and start cranking them out..... With that said, there are some samples that I don't think will ever be made again......sort of how Bandai has never re-released the 1/55 VE-1 or VT-1 (maybe next year though on DYRL's 30th?).....like the VF-1J Commander, VF-1S stealth, and a few others... So let's not lose hope...or forget what has happened to Macross toy collecting in the past.....

Seems that Yamato's demise has made the market for several macross collectibles go crazy in recent days..... Using this topic to post recent actual COMPLETED and SOLD auctions.....auctions of great absurdity should not be posted here...unless of course they actually sell....

For me, Macross Zero and Macross the First actually have helped in bringing the pre-DYRL "look" inline with the current "look" of the Macross universe....basically, the valk color schemes and military uniforms.....I also appreciate how the Macross Frontier designers went the extra step of designing different uniforms for our beloved heroes...after all they are SMS not NUNS.....

Issue 12 and 13...seem like new covers... ......adding 2 more to my HLJ pile.... http://deagostini.jp/mcr/backnumber.php?id=38445&issue=12 http://deagostini.jp/mcr/backnumber.php?id=38449&issue=13

Yamato/Arcadia 1/60 Metal Siren is now probably just a fool's hope.....but maybe a 1/72 kit? http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k158108512

http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b142732639

Don't think they are meant to be removed....

Looks like it is from the last episode of SDFM TV....

A Yamato 1/60 VF-2SS would have been the best thing to ever come out of that series.....maybe Arcadia will surprise us?

Is the story depicted in the comics still centered in Georgia only? Any hints on what is going on in the rest of the US....or world? Maybe it's time for the tv series to take a break and do some Walking Dead movie or mini-series specials depicting the zombie apocalypse across the globe.... I'd like to believe that hope is not lost and that there is still some hope for a "cure".....plus what about military and other ships that were out at sea when things started going to pieces?...Nuclear Submarines? North and South Pole? Remote areas of the world? Islands? International Space station?

Nice April Fool's Day trick Bandai!

Is that a new image for the Takamatsu event? Perhaps the Exhibit book is getting a new cover? If anyone is going to the exhibit and can help me find this postcard book, I can pay in advance...thanks!:

Takatoku

About 200 USD...but that was before Yamato went belly up....now...it's anyone's guess.....the low-viz is one of those valks that was probably never going to be re-released anyways....at this point it's kind of a grail item for those looking to complete a 1/60 V2 collection.....if you are looking to sell, PM me with what you were looking to get for it....

It'll start as a 1/72 kit...go to a 1/48 kit...then be released as a 1/55 DX in time for the DYRL 30th anniversary....

just watched last Sunday's episode...WOW...I knew it was coming, but not like that...can't wait for how it will all end this season.....but I agree, the Governor storyline needs to end.....

Too bad it's looking more and more like we'll never get to see her made into a PT variable toy....

That's good news...I was thinking we would need to wait longer for new covers....soooo...that's 9 confirmed new covers....21 to go? Or will they hook us in with more than 30?

re: New Hidetaka Tenjin painting of the VF-11MAXL in fighter form Will that be the cover image or just an illustration within the magazine?

yes and no...before MtF...SDFM TV was canon......just like Macross 7 was cannon before FB7.....now it's possibly some TV show dramatization of the events of that time.....but yeah....you have a point.....can we all just fold back to 1982?
