So, now that most of us have their Ghost in hand, do you think it's worth the money you paid for it? I, for one, find it to be a little expensive. It looks great, especially on the VF-0, but it's basically just a piece of plastic as it doesn't really do anything, except deploy it's landing gear. Not exactly something you can spend hour upon hour playing with. I know this sounds strange coming from a guy that doesn't play with his toys, but what got me into collecting Valks is the engineering that went into making these things transformable. When I show people my humble collection and I tell them that the fighter they see on the shelf transforms into the robot next to it they sometimes don't believe me.
hmmm, I just realized that I'm slowly turning into a completionist...
What was I saying? Oh yeah, is the Ghost worth its money?
From a collectors point of view, I'd say maybe, as it's up to the individual collector if he/she wants to spend $40 for a piece of nicely shaped plastic to complete their collection. It makes for a nice display piece that'll add some variety to the line up of Valks, but at $40 it's a little too expensive IMHO.
From a players point of view, I'd imagine it would move to the bottom of the toybox quite fast as there are much more exciting toys in Yamato's Macross line up. You can swoosh it around for a bit, but the Ghost from the combo isn't secured to the VF-0 tightly enough to play with so it'll fall off during the first barrel roll.
Just my 2 cents.
