I would not give that, or any other toy outside of a low end TF to a 3 yo. I thought it was cute to let my daughter play around my Brave Max once, she stuffed it with food. Aside from that she could break something off and hurt herself.

Joints on a VF-27 v1 are very loose
blackconvoy_D01 replied to blackconvoy_D01's topic in The Workshop!
Thanks for the advice. Took the shoulder apart and tightend up with the glue. Does anyone have any tips for the loose ankles without taking them apart? Im a bit more hesitant about doing that. -

I just purchased a v1 VF-27 from someone who claimed that it's been dormant for some time, but the way the toy stands and handles tells me otherwise. Can anyone please direct me, or tell me how to take apart and tighten these joints?

I did. I hate to wait for this stuff. I want it now or ASAP (not 3 months out), so its v.1 for me.

Macross Collectibles Market Watch - Current Auction/Store SOLD prices

LoL, the most I ever got for a mpc appendix was $150. And I got that much because it had a custom strike cannon added to it. It was a good sale. -
Macross Collectibles Market Watch - Current Auction/Store SOLD prices
blackconvoy_D01 replied to jvmacross's topic in Toys
I agree. I transform my recently acquired valks at least once a week, so it'd be all worthless by the time it left my hands. Flipping them is hard business (I flipped my Robotech MPC's to expand my Yamato collection). It's even harder to sell them and get back nearly what you paid/ need if you're doing so because you happen to find yourself in a financial pinch. -
I feel similar. I want it, but I dont think I have the patience or drive to go out of my way for it. Ill settle for a v-1 at a good price.

True, but at least you know it'll be there when its suppose to be. There are worse things to preorder for nearly half the price: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TOY10400&mode=retail I wonder if the v1.5's booster will be to heavy in gerwalk without the stand supporting it?

Can you define what is about a toy that makes you collect it?
blackconvoy_D01 replied to Gakken85's topic in Toys
I collect for a number of reasons depending on the line of toys, for example; TF Classics/ Generations- I use these toys as an expansion of my love for TF:G2. MOSPEADA- For what used to be a like of RT, but I love MOSPEADA more. I imagine that my collection has to take back out into space because of some reason or another. I kinda like crossing it with BSG, because like the reimagined series the designs are somewhat dated, but MOSPEADA is so versitile- between the Legioss, Tread, and Ride Armors. Macross- similar to MOSPEADA as to an old RT reference, but the community has opened my eyes. You can appreciate so much in the world of Macross becuase there is something for everyone. You can own two valks and reimagine them in practically any series. If you dont like one portion of the series, there are so many other variations to choose from. Also the toys are real high quality and I've never looked back and said; "I regret buying that valk." Batman- always was a huge fan. It got heavier when I lost my mom last year (which was the only reason I sold my Macross and other collections. I sorta channeled Batman- in the respect of his fitness routine- to refocus my feelings- getting into shape was the best thing, aside from the support I got from my wife and child to help me get over the worst. Guyver, Cowboy Bebop, GITS, and so on, just love 'em. Better that than drugs and alcohol. -
I noticed a big blotch of glue near my rear right landing gear. But otherwise its a 'like' all around.

Macross Collectibles Market Watch - Current Auction/Store SOLD prices
blackconvoy_D01 replied to jvmacross's topic in Toys
No, I meant it in the sense of; I purchased a v.1 VF-25 with the armored parts, and then the v.2 came out fixing all the flaws of the original. And at the time I had paid lets say $350 for the v.1- but now I wanted the newer, and I cant afford to buy it without selling the older one. You get it? I wouldnt want the same thing to happen to the VF-171 right now becasue I just got one. -

I hope that there isnt truth to a VF-171 reissue. I'd be very upset if so. -

blackconvoy_D01 replied to blackconvoy_D01's topic in Toys
I hear you, Im not mad about it. I've had good communication with NY, theyve been real good to me. Im just surprised, because it's never happened to me before. I appreciate the feedback.
