Nice collection Kensei and the new display cabinets sound cool. The opening door would probably be best for viewing as they would give you a clear view of the collection when closed. A sliding door wouldn't be as clear where the panels meet when closed. Does that make sense? Crazy thought I wonder if would be possible to make a kinda garage door type door? When closed, would be like the normal door, but when opening, would save space as would fold up into the cabinet and not stick out... As this is a picture thread, here's a snap from my small collection. Apologies for the quality as I used my camera phone. The figures on the shoulders are a lucky cat and buddah!? Thought it was a cute place to put them. Cheers,

I came across the Figure Ou issue while searching the forums. I take it this a hobby magazine type book like Dengenki Hobby and the like? Still would be nice though to have a dedicated book, just eye candy to look at . While its great to find and look at the toys online, such as the many Yamato VF pics on the site which helped convice me more and more to buy my first one its not the same as having a book in hand to gloss over. Will check out the Figure Ou, if I can find a copy somewhere. Thanks.,

Just wondering if anyone knows of any books that show Macross toys similar in fashion to the "Transformers Generations" book or the new "Transformers First Series Complete" by Jive. Both of these books are coffee table books (I guess) consisting of 100+ pages of photos of the toys and other bits of info. Has something similar ever been published for Macross? Thanks,

Thanks. Well, aside from the 1S I've got the Max Super 1J and the normal Hikaru 1J. I actually wanted to get the 1S as my first valk but missed out so am pleased the 3rd re-issue came out. Now if only they had a TV version or perhaps a TV version add on pack consisting of hands and pilot thrown in with some fast packs....

Transformers in a way for me!? What you say!? Well, liked Transformers for the robots, etc, then saw a commercial for Robotech Macross Saga and saw well, robots which was the initial hook that drew me in. After that hook, when I started watching the show the hook shifted to the actual story. I got into the characters and was surprised to see people die, etc. It was a cartoon soap opera and quite different than anything I had seen before on Canadian TV at the time. The robots (mech) were still cool too Later I found out all about the HG stuff and seeked out SDF Macross info which led me to Macross Plus, Macross 2, DYRL, SDF Macross, Macross 0 and Macross 7. Whole lot of Macross... but it was that first Macross / RT that grabbed me and started my interest in Anime... Cheers,

Hi, I'm new to the boards but have been lurking for a year now Just got my VF-1S the other day and thankfully it turned out pretty ok. No missing pieces and the joints felt tight when moving them and the backpack hinge seems ok. On the other hand, the skulls are crooked, but only very slightly and the head is a bit wobbly as well in fighter / gerwalk mode. I also noticed that on mine, the left (from the pilots view) nosecone has a sort of scraped look to it. It kinda looks like someone took a razor and scraped that side of the valk. Also, one of the intake covers had some glue bits stuck on it. Overall, I am happy, now just have to worry about that VB-6 Monster which is shipping. PS: Happy New year to everyone out there and thanks for rekindling my Macross flame and starting my valk addiction! (small collection at 3 but was only going to buy 1) Cheers,
