what???? MPC Great???? news to me but anyway: MPC: 1-it sucks major donkey balls yammie 1/48: 3-i love 'em J.J. i edited it just for you

since you guys are breaking upi vf-1j's how much does a head cost? PM me if you would like

running off the list that mcpaz posted (not the counting the updates posted here) MW world people own a total of 3938 Yamato Valks 993 1/48's 2042 1/60'2 920 1/72's

I know Graham started a "how many yammies" thread but i was wondering how many yammies you had plus all the other valks you own. Toynami 1/55 (MPC): Bandai 1/55: Bandai 1/65: Bandai 1/72 (HMC): Bandai 1/100: takatoku 1/55: Yamato 1/60: Yamato 1/48: Yamato 1/72:

hey thats really nice of you to go through all that trouble to list everyone out with their collection great work~!!!

corrections for me 1/48 = 10 and i should have 11 on friday when i meet up with soze

they do not sell vf-1js by themselves unless you but it off of someone like that. In the for sale section Neova was going a parting service for us: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=6809 not sure if he has anymore, but i bought the blue fp =)

i think some people on this board have sold a valk or two in there life time, it doesn't mean that you aren't a collector if you sell a valk. And if i ever were in a crisis its good to know you can fall back on your toys for resources. I dont collect toys for profit, but i like the idea that they not only look cool, but they gain value as they age (might not be a lot, but they still do)

nicely said

I think the problem is how one defines "collector." To me, a collector is somebody who aquires a number of some item due to an interest in the subject and the intention to keep them for posterity. However, many of the so-called collectors I've know who ammased huge stockpiles of toys based on their resale value actually had very little appreciation for the toys themselves. While they called themselves "collectors" the toys were actually more like merchandise to them. At that point, it's not so much a collection as it is inventory. At least, that's the way I see it. The way i collect toys is the same as how other people collect cards. think about it

If I want an investment I'll look into the stock market. If I want a cool toy I won't buy an MPC Valkyrie. not everyone is like you Well in that case, the Low Viz 1/48 blows the pants off of the MPC in terms of resale value. What does that prove? ----->1/48's RULE~!!!! (i love the low vis i got~!!!!) all it proves is that the 1/48 low vis has a higher resale price than a MPC or a 1/60 but when you compare MPC vs 1/60 MPC = higher resale some people find the resale price of the toys they collect important, and thats the point. (btw the topic is 1/60 vs MPC, not MPC vs 1/48) If it was MPC or 1/60 vs 1/48's the 1/48's would win pretty easily

Shin... It looks like you're responding to my post, because of the point by point comparison. If you are you're a little confused about what I said, and if you weren't I apologize profusely. My point by point comparisons were 1/48 vs. MPC and I rate the 1/48 higher in all ways. 1/48, then 1/60 then MPC I actually thought my 1/60 was better in this regard than my MPC. In fact both 1/60s that I've handled have been much better than the single MPC I've handled. Of course the 1/48 beats them both. Agreed that they're about the same. 1/60 is IMO a superior toy to the MPC so 1/60s at current prices are a much better deal than an MPC at any price. This is probably the only area where 1/60s and MPCs will beat the 1/48, and even then some MPCs won't (Rick and Roy). I think the 1/60 wins in this area also. The only mode on the 1/60 where this could be a problem is Gerwalk where the 1/60s legs have a tendency to not be stable. Agree strongly here. 1/48 is the best. If I were picking solely between 1/60s and MPCs I'd buy 1/60s, though. Heck, even with a 1/48 in my collection I'll probably buy more 1/60s before I buy another 1/48 simply because of price and the fact that the 1/60 *is* a nice toy. Just not as nice as the 1/48... if you like to see your toys become worth more and more money, as of right now the MPC kills the 1/60

hey pat thats a great book~! (btw it was nice meeting ya)

great job~!! have pics of the rest?

thats nice~!!!! did you buy a kit or you created it on your own?

i'll post a report in the where to buy section for f and s stuff =)

you do have a point there

i prob go every wed night and sat morning to check up on stuff so i am pretty much a regular

i think the 1/60's would be the easiest to convert because of the pop off leg action

Teasure Island is the place that always gets the macross stuff first, and this topic was first posted today, which means it just hot stores in HK

i doubt it i think you should go next weekend they didn't have jack on wed, and that auction was from HK, not the US, so you would still have to wait for them to get airmailed if you are lucky they may have them on wed but prob shoot for next sat or next next wed hope that helps

nicely said and 1/48s ROCK~!!!!!

... and exactly how many times did you have to refinance your house to get that collection? house? what house? damn man houses are over rated. Card board boxes are the way to go~!!!

20 bucks? Really? Ironic since they'd be limited "collector's editions" eh? The 20 bucks deal was when some national chain (GameStop I think ) was blowing out their toys last year. That price didn't last as you can't find any toys at GameStops these days. Didnt a Toynami MPC Rick Hunter VF-1J go for more than $100 earlier this year on eBay? I'd love to be able to dump my 1/60 Yamatos at that kind of price, but they are actually the ones getting only 20 bucks these days. thats what i noticed too , tons of blow out sales for the 1/60's
