come on, it should be about the same price as the Fast Packs, i say around 60 to 75, nothing more anything more than 75 would be a rip off as for the 1:48 Bundle i except to see the same prices as the VF-1J's with FP's around 160 to 180 Also look at the 1:60 with GBP, it sells for 90 bucks now, and the GBP sells for 35 not that expensive

OK, I think there are a couple of reasons why MPC's are going for so much. First off, i beleive most MPC collectors are aware of 1/60 Yamato Valks, and dont like them. I hated the pop off leg action and it really bugged me. (even though i ended up atleast one of each mold) I actually bought a 1/60 VF-1s way before MPC's were released and thought it was a piece of crap. I paid like 60 bucks for it and hated it. If you played with it, it would get all floppy and end up looking like crap. When i first saw 1:48's in stores i already hated 1:60's and thought the 1:48s were just super sized versions of the pop off leg action valks. Without research i think many other robotech collectors out there wouldn't know the differance and aren't willing to spend 100+ on a pop off leg action valk. With MPC's, i like them more than i like the 1:60's and i think basic collectors prob will too. They have the feel of the old school bandai valks but with added detail. The Fast Packs for the MPC's (when you can get them to stay on) are way better than the 1:60 rubber feeling fast packs. Also another reason why MPC's are going for so much is that we all know how many were made. They are numbered on the box, and with 1:48's they just keep making them. You dont know how many are out there, there were never any production numbers released. Also just when you think you are getting something rare like teh vf-1s (1:48) they go and make a 3rd wave.......With the MPC vf-1s, you know they arent going to make anymore, atleast not in that same box. Summary Main Reasons: 1. Collectors left with bad taste from 1:60 valks (may think 1:48'S are OVERSIZED 1:60s 2. Robotech Name Recognition 3. Limited Production with individually numbered and signed boxes 4. Known Production Amount 5. Numbered Boxes on the outside, so it pisses you off when you are missing a number (IE 1, 3, 4, 5) 6. Good Marketing plan from Toynami to get the MPC Name out, and Good Stock photos

great news

as a side note, i think its neat how Takara has reissued some diaclone repaints of transformer figs: IE Diaclone Magnus, Diaclone Sideswipe, and the newest one, the Diaclone Insecticon Set (through E-Hobby)

EXO Posted this on AP: Thought i should share it here: "Man, I'm excited about this news. While I wasn't too impressed with the story of Gasaraki, I was blown away by Yutaka Izubuchi's design of the TAs, the bipedal tanks of the show. Now Max Factory has released photos of their upcoming figures set to be released next year. I'm assuming these are going to be die cast, because of the company releasing it...

congrats~!

thats pretty funny dig dug was badass back in the day

i was kinda disappointed when the new camera's swithced to that new memory stick format. I have to buy new memory sticks to use them =( thats why i am not buying sony camera's anymore. Since i have to buy new memory might as well not be limited to a sony only perspective

voted can you pay me my money now

not like yamato stuff never gets delayed did i say too much

its not 1/48, and it will not work with any 1/48's or 1/60s i think many MW members have that already...

Does that mean in DYRL, Max cross dresses?

i agree on the 350z part, I would prefer it in SILVER

it yamato was as big as bandai or takara then i think we would be able to get quality products much faster and cheaper. but because they are small, development time is slow and the cost is higher to produce these toys. I think Takara has achieved a great task by producing the BT's and showing how good transformers could be. They basically follow the same rules as yamato, (preset car design, and trying to follow G1 anime designs)

dude a similar thing happened to my house except they tried to rob it when my brother was home with his friend. The stupid fool cut his hand on the glass and continued to try to rob the place bleeding..... My bro busted out the bat and pinned him down til the cops came. It was real fun from what i hear. The robber was begging for my bro to stop chocking him with the bat, LOL.

Predaking is being reissued?

exo gave me Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! when i requested Hasbro.... thats sad....so sad.... LOL
