No they don't. Seriously, if that's the best excuse you've got for a complaint against the 1/60, then you really, really, really don't want us to start bagging on the many problems of the Toynami veritech. That list of problems is much more detailed. And actually true. IMHO i think both 1/60's and MPC's have problems, and both FP's suck, that magnet crap sucks, but the floppy fps for the 1/60s aren't that much better. I also hate the pop off leg action of the 1/60's, that stuff just pisses me off, but the dirty swing bars make MPC's look just as bad. 1/60's have loose joints, while 1/60's get floppy as heck over time. I think its a pretty close toss up between the two, and thats why i bought the 1/60's last. I am just being honest about the toys and not getting involved with HG crap. and as a side note i own: 10 x 1/60's 10 x MPC's 6 (+ 4 in the mail) x 1/48's 13 x 1/55's so i think i am giving a pretty fair judgment on what i own

and the Fast Packs for the 1/60's are crap, and have problems staying on

i think the main point it that many Robotech fans do not understand the dif between 1/55s, 1/48's, 1/60s and MPC's they just buy what they see in advertisements as cool. Heck i started off buying the 1/55's and the MPC's before i bought any Yamatos so i think thats just the natural progression of things. I doubt you will find a Jack for 20 bucks anywhere, i think the one that was selling for 20 bucks is Ben Dixon, it seems no one wants a cannon fodder with a fat person in it. (jack's are like the low vis of the 1/48's, once they sell out, the price on those will prob get really high, remember only 5000 where made of vol6 while 15,000 was made of every other one) No matter how much you guys bash MPC's the fact is that they do have a pretty good resale value if you picked the right ones.... IE: Rick Hunter and Roy Fokker Last i checked Roy was going for 120 to 145, and Rick was about the same price. They may be crap toys, but those two sell VERY well on ebay. (and the fast packs for the VF-1s was going for 50+ bucks) I picked up my last ten 1/60's for pretty cheap, and the most i spend on one was 90 bucks for the VF-1s Strike (i was pretty disapointed with the fig btw, the FP sucks, but the 1/48s rock the house). Everything else i got in "blow out" sales, anywhere from 30 bucks to 60 bucks.... if you think the value of a fig is important then MPC's seem to be doing quite well marketing, marketing, marketing (one good thing for MPC's is that you know the exact amount they made and which one you got, which yamato doesn't do)

nice setup can you now take a pic of all your valks in one picture

no problem

ya PM me the 411 on those are you on AIM?

did they come in good shape? i tried to wrap it nicely for ya =) my work IP is still banned from ADC as it seems

it would be interesting if they followed the super possiables with DYRL MPC's and Strike Cannons......

one plus for the MPC's are that they are individually numbered and you know how many were released, as with yamato, i have no clue about any production quantities (even the low vis) for all i know there could be 30k low vis' out there....

wow i was just over at the auction section and i saw some posts of MPC's running well over 130 bucks (for vol1 and vol 3) i am somewhat impressed by this, but i think they are hitting these prices because 1. the people that buy them dont know better 2. people like to have the whole collection of something and those are the only two sold out so far 3. No matter how much we hate MPC's, if they had fixed the quality issues, they wouldn't be half bad.

nice pictures~!!!!

Hi can someone please explain this to me? http://www.toynami.com/macross.html they are Macross figures.....and they use the japanese names "HIKARU ICHIJO" but they are toynami????

I just bought another 1/48 that makes 6 I got a VF-1S Hikaru and i got a 1/48 FP (i got a deal for 45 bucks, new, no shipping) Trying to get 2 more for that price on sat

i do but i dont think it would cover the cost of the toys, i think my fire insurance prob would only cover the cost of the house if even that....

I tired to sell toys a couple years ago and it didn't work out for me. I ended up just buying stuff and keeping it. My gf sells toys and i try to bum off her when i can get a good deal. I try to stay away from toy dealing because it will just end up in my collection and never move

Whew! And I thought I was bad about buying stuff. you are bad about buying stuff~!!!
