Rare KO showed up today. surprised its still up on the bay for the asking price. Space Gandam - Robotech Macross Valkyrie KO - VF-1J 1/55 - MIB Box Is it really a knockoff if it had its own cartoon show & storyline? or should it be adapted as an alternate timeline?

I would have given my right arm in school to had that. it was a status symbol in my school to have had a cool lunchbox in the cafeteria. now kids get pizza hut for lunch . KR was one of my favorite shows right behind the A-Team, Punky Brewster & The Fallguy.

I love this little guy I got him the day before Christmas

Its almost half price if you buy from there website Boxformers they have a nice nemesis prime box too

I just got two jetfires last week & two came in today late due to holiday grind. two I got a great deal under 250, while other two I paid a little under double that. (one has a good box with no flap crease) (I had to send a couple back after buying them in the last few months, resellers were bleaching/scotch brite them because they were yellow then claiming they were like brand new, ruining the finish of the plastic & the whole toy. they were not toy collectors, but greedy people who wanted to make a quick buck. Unfortunately I did not think to keep the pictures) Condition scale of 1 to 10 one is a 9.6 Mint, one is 9.0 NM+, one is 8.7 NM, one is 8.5 Excellent+/NM All have unused Armor, two had all paperwork, two had destroyed paperwork & ruined sticker sheets . I will over time three will get completed with the correct paperwork then put in repo boxes in acrylic cases. while the 4th will be sent in to be graded loose for display. All are in Rudolph Reindeer Condition with big solid color red noses. Will buy an unboxed abused jetfire soon to use to build an Evil Jetfire Complete with box & paperwork. After that it's all back to Macross & VF-1

I took it out of storage and it seems to just be victim of bad QC and not an early variant I was hoping it was an early edition. I already opened it twice and just could not bare to stress the box flap again (was extremely tight) next person to open one last time will be someone as CAS or CAD

Nice! I'm still waiting on mine, 1 from BBTS & 1 direct from KC What's wild one just popped up on Ebay with the guy saying he just got his today & didn't like it

Thanks! did not know it was part of a mini series and it would be a challenge to find the others. not sure when she signed it but I might just join her fan club soon then have her sign a mint copy of it. at least with this one I wont feel too guilty looking through it.

I got a Macross #1 Japanese Comic in the mail Friday. it was signed by Minmay & just $20. It's small looking not the size of western comics. not sure who made it? not sure if they make holders for them? its on OK condition 5.0 out of 10 scale, it looks like a book.

They are Robotech, maybe the best on the Robotech Side at the moment? that's why I ordered them because I have autographs from all the robotech stars to add with them with photos of the pilots for a special set. I'm guessing your experience playing with them and quality feel in hand was kind of disappointing? Your right all the Macross stuff is better in most ways but from a as far as my limited experience can tell just not sure detail wise. http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=12688

Thanks! It does alot and explains why the contents in these vs. the ones I had long ago were of a different quality. ones I have now the tech cards with punch holes are dull dim colored paper with no shine but before they were brighter, more color deep with a shine to them. my 1/55 VF-1S STRIKE VALKYRIE I had to open the box not because I wanted to but long ago a bug crawled into the box and died on the arm so it had to be removed + plus the tape fell off long ago. no one ever opened it all the decades and I was shocked at the bad workmanship from a chip in the chest plate to a deep gash in the plastic were the heads mouth area is and a big long deep gash running the whole length on the leg armor. the one I had year ago was NM condition and was 10x better looking, perfect paint, zero flaws. I never realized until you pointed it out they really just had no great quality control at some points while I have a dozen jetfires that look perfect, flawless paint that came out of the same plant? the only thing they all have in common is zero yellowing all snow white I'll take your experience in mind and look for some toys from the same company at that time. something unpopular, no one likes, that has some bags and just shove them in those bags and hope for the best at CAS but I'm not trying to get a grade, just wanting a clean archived label to show its complete & original. thanks for your help.

I was just comparing quality of detail of KC vs Toynami. I plan on just having them graded out of the box on loose scale for display only they will never be played with. thanks for advice I am still learning again and new

Still out of stock on V2 versions, I'm going to buy them all considering the price point and what's the alternatives like toynami in on the robotech side. Just ordered GOF from BBTS, it's still in stock. =)

HI Everyone! new to the forum but have been reading it for a few weeks and would like to see if anyone can help me locate some info on 1/55 versions of VE-1 Elintseeker & VT-1 SuperOstrich complete in the box I have both, but need pictures of what both box's contents look like unused/just opened, exactly as it came out of factory untouched. I want to get mine graded but just archived complete would be good incase they notice any wear. all I can find is pictures of them in gently used ones in the box. I'm certain I've got a the paperwork but Did the heatshields come in a bag tucked inside one of the foam compartments ? I know my 1/55 VF-1S STRIKE VALKYRIE has a bag with Minmai and it would seem strange they would have left a heatshield in the box to bounce around. I'm just wanting to find out if it was in the same kind of bag? maybe with some kind of paperwork or toy ad?. or was it attached factory to the cockpit? I had these toys a decade ago and was forced to sell them, now I have them again as I get back into collecting certain Macross/Robotech stuff . I would be grateful for any help Thanks Spark Mine look like these
