What gets my goat most of the time is that I believe most scalpers are not really actual Macross fans. At most, they're just temporary fans. They're actually just really in it to make a profit at the expense of the fans they've most likely deprived of the chance of getting the valk during pre-o and/or during release-dates. As such, can't really blame them scalpers, either. Sadly and unfortunately, some actual fans agrees and are willing to pay the scalper-pricings.
-
Apples and oranges. As such, if I can use my valk-toys to go work and stuff, i prolly tolerate and pay the price-jacking. Coz going to work in an valkyrie is just priceless...
-
Yeah, but what/who defines the actual "market value" other than the manufacturers? As we've seen with Ami's preorder-madness, most scalpers that got the items from Ami got it at a very generous pre-o discounts from the actual msrp. Most of the scalpers will then flip these items at significant price-jacking. No one really buys at msrp unless it's specifically a TWE item. As such, I still say screw Bandai. Ain't playin' their artificially/deliberately-induced supply-limitation. Just go without, I say!
-
Anything $20 over the original msrp that is not in new/mib/misb condition is scalping to me. I don't resell anything, so I couldn't care less about how/why "resellers" or scalpers justify their price-jacking.

Well, only a few here are fluent and literate in japanese. Majority of us just watched TV, DYRL, Plus, Zero, and even II so many frickin' times in so many years with either or both official english-subs and fansubs that most of us have it as second-nature and don't even bother turning on the subtitles when re-re-re-re-(infinity)-watching these series again and again and again and again... Except for M7 and Frontier, of course. M7, coz majority here prolly still watched the old hk-engrish subs. Frontier, coz it's just so boring and pedestrian coz of the Sheryl/Ranka thingamajig...

Now you're gonna put the Sheryl-fanatics in such a bind to get this. This Bertille does have much much better proportions and presence than any/every Sheryl figure I've seen.

As long you didn't pay too much for it, then it's all good. Better than nothing for now. Like somebody else already said, maybe some generous member here can donate to you at least a better toy that they're not using anymore.
-
Yeah. They're plain-janes. Possibly could use some panel-lining to make either one a bit more eye-candy.
-
The MkII should've come with at least the Flying Armor, however boring the FA is. As such, I think you're talking about The Defenser super pack, which is indeed a TWE: http://p-bandai.jp/tamashiiwebshouten/item-1000094877/

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Definitely the 0D. Much much prettier. And huge. And expensive. The YF-30 looks like a dumbass next to it in the pics. edit: here's a pic from CDX: http://collectiondx.com/gallery/v/Toys/Arcadia/vf0d/arcadia+vf0d+34.JPG.html -
Those tiny Banpresto valks. So much potential to be great, but Bandai really just cheaped out on it. Crappy plastic, crappy insecure parts/accessories, easily lost tiny parts, etc, etc. I got tired of it all one day and just threw it all out. Despite all that, I reckon those crappy Banprestos were still much better looking and rather more durable than any toynami... edit: omg! actually still had an old pic of 'em Banpresto-goobers from '03...
