    yeah same I had a lot of stuff I had collected from the 80's, 90's early 2000's that I sold off including my v1 collection of Valks so I could go motorcycle racing! Which was also a very expensive hobby! Which I gave up in 2010 and started collecting stuff again.. The other problem I have is everything I buy I have to pay that extra bit more for postage because I live in Australia.. especially stuff from EU or USA is always much more expensive..

    pew pew alright! For a while there my savings account was getting shot to bits! Just did a quick tally of the money I've spent so far on my Macross collection including all the girly figures and it's about $11,500.. If I include the few Valks I've bought for my son its just shy of $13,000. I know there are guys out there with far bigger collections some with many multiples but for what I've spent so far it's pretty crazy! And there are quite a few more I don't have yet which would cost a lot more pretty pennies!

    Bandai might get their knickers in knots trying to decide if the yellow bits will be yellow or gold! CDJ were only a few days behind HLJ with the Prophecy release so personally I doubt we'll have to wait that much extra.. fingers crossed regardless!

    an Ozma paint would be great but maybe some more non character based paints in favor of some cannon fodder / military paint schemes would be nice for a change!

    Yeah was on or about's that time the prices really started to hike up.. prices had started to rise considerably then I started to panic! The most expensive individual Valkyrie I've purchased so far was the mass production VF-1J.. $550 (no regrets though), then Hikaru's J & the VF-4 at about $500 each.. my VF-1D was about $450 then Ozma $400, then Micheal & VE-1 $350ish etc etc.. its been a costly & bumpy road to get this far and there is no end in sight! But I say bring it on!

    Can't disagree on this one.. my 25S & Armor parts cost me $600 between them! The Armor parts alone cost me more than Luca, CF & Prophecy (each, not together) did!

    That's a real shame guys as the VF-19 range are just gorgeous things!

    Also bought this Ranka Lee - Wish of Valkyrie - Glowing Red edition quite cheap on Mandarake to replace the original winking version.. I think this color version is much nicer than the original!

    thanks guys! I really am over the moon about it! Just got home from work and been sitting gazing in awe at her!

    Saburo mate! We're all family here so no one will mind another image quote!! Besides what's wrong with showing an extra bit of love!

    what he said! I also used the superglue trick on my VF-25G as the shoulders were just too loose and floppy to hold up his enormous obnoxious gun.. worked a treat!

    I don't think I'll get any 22's, it's not that I don't like the 22's but now that I have the 21 for my Plus collection and considering that I only really like them in fighter mode I think the one is enough! Also I have the 4x M7 VF-19's, so I'll just stop my M7 collection at them. I'd rather spend the money getting a few of the other VF-1 variants I'm missing from my collection anyways..

    Awesome!!!

    Indeed she is! But nahhh won't be buying another.. would love to have multiples of certain Valks but funds and space are too limited at the moment..
  21. spanner
    She arrived this morning! My hopes and prayers were answered by the smiling gods of Mandarake! She is in absolutely perfect mint unopened untouched unadulterated condition! The box has some minor scuffs & a little corner damage but it was still sealed! So put simply, I couldn't be happier! I never once lost faith in Mandarake! I knew the YF-21 were larger than other Valks but dang she is a big sexy bird! And now sitting proudly on display with my other Macross Plus birds! Here is a pic of my new baby!

    Lovely! And the VF-4 has the front row seat!! Thats a great looking cabinet! has it got a mirrored backing?
  23. spanner
    hmmm yeah good point. They are on the rather pricey end of the Valkyrie scale.. Im glad I got mine when I did and not pay the ridiculous prices they want for em now! they are an exceptionally beautiful thing! especially in fighter mode! im sure you will just adore it when it arrives!

    nice display! I'd love to get me a ED-209! One thing I've noticed though is there aren't so many VF-4's being shown on display.. the odd one here n there and that's about it.. is it just me or has anyone else noticed that!? As much as I do absolutely love my VF-4G, I'll admit for a while there I did feel like it was a kinda oddball Valkyrie which really didn't fit in with any of my other Valkyrie on display but I certainly couldn't imagine not having it!

    The 3 best 29's! Nice layout! This is a great shot! Really brings out the sleek and sexy lines of the 25!
