    Before, i used to collect mostly on coolness of toy, and look only, thus why i have a few more macross yamato toys than i really wanted, or gundams or transformers. Now, as space is limited, and money as well, i only collect based on feeling first (ie nostalgia), of a series (Yamato Macross / MP Transformers / Gundam Models / etc...) based on favorate characters and then look. However, toy must be high quality, otherwise, i will skip. Such current examples are: Yamato VF-19 Kai (favorite macross character) and third party Quake Wave (Soundwave "MP Transformer"). Both toys are highly nostalgic, and high quality, and of course look too. The nostalgic is important, as i have to be watching the show again sometimes, and spark the extra boost in making me pick up the toy and play with it. Of course, finaly, but just as important, the price. It if is above 200$, it is a pass. Of course, sometimes, the design and look are just to apealing, and one might brake their own rules, as I sort of did for the vf-19s, which i am keeping in a box for a few months at least until I have too strong of an urge to open it, otherwise i may sell it, as space is extremely limited when you live in a condo, and also have alot of plants and a few small and a large aquarium too .

    ok, I got my vf-19 Kai Fire Valk yesterday, and wow, not only was it fast shipping from HK Collectibles, but the toy is so heavy and beautiful, no pictures on the net can do it justice, as when you have it on hand, it is much nicer. Transformation was a bit hard, but with a couple of videos on youtube, I think I got it right. Man, what a beauty, now is my favorite valk of all time, and finally I have a leader to my squadron!!! Finally have the valk to my favorite macross Character. I received the VF-19S too a few days earlier, but not sure if I will open yet, might keep it and sell it later. I sort of Panic bought it, but got over my budget, and can only keep it if I succeed in selling some of my old toys, or maybe wait till next year for opening it up until the coast is clear, as my wife would kill me . I was also debating if I should have gotten the vf-17S vrs the vf-19s, but it didn't get the same rave as the vf-19, which is really worth raving about.

    A recommendation. Make samples of each and display it with a transformer so we can see the final product. Also, if you are in any other forum which you are promoting this more, ie a transformer's 3rd party forum, such as http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/ then pls pm me so I can follow you there. A special request for me, if at all possible, display them not only with the smaller transformers which you would normally do, but with some of the MasterPiece transformers too. A booster for MP Sideswipe as mentioned by another member would have nice chances I think, many would have liked it. Good Luck.

    For the YF-21/22, the fighter mode is probably the best looking of all valks, and the batroid mode is not bad either, but transformation is more complex, but nothing to worry about when you are following a youtube video on how to. At the cheap prices these were going, definetly get them, and you can even leave it in fighter mode forever, its a beauty. In batroid mode, i leave the air intakes cover off, ie i dont put them on, and i find it looks even better. The original yf-21 came with a stand, very usefull. Anyways, i dont see why one shouldnt pick it up if they like the design, and it sure isnt a loosy goossy when fully transformed, unlike the yf-19.

    Hey Kicker, pls post a pic once you receive iron man and hulk with your captain America and Thor. Wow, I am really liking the Captain America, what are you thoughts on it vrs the other ones your have in your avengers team. Edit: Just saw how awesome the Hawkeye is, wow, you gotta get it too!!!
  8. Arthurius
    man, that vf-1D virgin roads with the super packs is sweaaaat!!! Nice one, man I wish I had bought it when it first came out
  9. Arthurius
    Well, the yf-21 has the sleekest alienesh fighter mode of any valk out there, and is one of my favorites. The yf-19, well, a second version will never be made by Yamato, and many, including myself, like the yf-19 better than the vf-19, but of course, its is a very loosy goosy mess. I am hoping the vf-19 is extremely sturdy. Not sure if I will keep both the VF-19 Kai and the VF-19S that should be coming in the next few weeks (it is kinda expensive having both, unless I can sell some of my old toys)
  10. Arthurius
    If they make this Arcee (still not approved), I will be buying it for sure!!!
  11. Arthurius
    Thanks for posting the pics. Man, what a good deal you had, I just bought from HK Collectibles, and with the savings and shipping, it still comes to 200$ !!! Anyways, I love the batroid mode picture, but not sold yet on the booster. One I get it, I will probably display it without the gun, with Kai on it's shoulder. Kai is my favorate hero in all of Macross, so I am very excited to receive this, this along with the Fans Project Quakewave (shockwave) I received are probably going to be my best toys in my whole collection, along with my yf-21, yf-19, and MP Grimlock. I have to admit though, the vf-1/48 have still proven to be my most sturdy good looking toys, but hopping the vf-19 will be almost as sturdy as it is supposed to be one of Yamato best toy.
  12. Arthurius
    Hey, thanks, they go well together with the yellow strip on both of them... I guess I might have to pose them together.
  13. Arthurius
    yea, good old days, until just before 2nd version of the 1/60th vf-1 i think, when i was trying to keep up with the new molds, and many great sellers like Valk-Exchange, and i think that was the booming point for me. Brings me back a few years for sure.
  14. Arthurius
    I have a request: Can someone take some nice pictures of the VF-19 KAI with the VF-19S together in a cool poses, in batroid mode. Thanks in advance. Edit: damn Shaorin, those pictures of the vf-19s are sooooo sexy, you are making me NOT regret my purchase!!! I am mad at you, GRRRR!!! , now if you can take a few more with that same background, so I can get even more "mad".
  15. Arthurius
    But Yamato is no more, you cant vote for them, I demand a recount!!!! . And Arcadia will likely not take on Macross either (and even if they did, whos knows what quality level they will offer)
  16. Arthurius
    ok, where is the cheapest place to get the fire valk kai? Is it hkcollectibles, and if so, is that the cheapest price that they ever had, or did it used to be lower? Also, where can one get virgin roads nowadays (online store wise)?
  17. Arthurius
    I ordered last sunday, and it shipped out on friday
  18. Arthurius
    Why is the thread locked?
  19. Arthurius
    Hey Shaorin, Yea, the 19s definitely looks better color / head wise, just that Basara was my favorite character of all Macross (in terms of main characters anyways). Maybe if I got the pilot somehow, I would be even more trilled. I think will go nicely with my yf-21, similar scheme, though I know different blue. Anyways, if I had money for only 2 more macros toys, and if I could actually find them, I would also get the vf-11C and the Virgin Roads, those would be my priorities even though of course there is so many others to buy, those are just two I really would have liked more than others. The Ostrich would be a very close one too actually Anyways, I still haven't gotten any confirmation from HKC, other than they received the money on sunday, but nothing about delivery, thus I hope they are not out of it when their site shows in stock.
  20. Arthurius
    ah man, where did you get the vf-11c, and how much!!!! In plane fighter mode, it is one of the best looking ones to me, along with the yf-21 of course . And I like the C version better, looks little a space shuttle. Oh and congrats on the VF-0a, I love that one in Batroid mode, it is like a low vis, but nicer to me
  21. Arthurius
    thanks to this panic thread and the low price of HKC on the VF-19S, and thanks to Shaorin for putting those "damn" addictive pictures on the VF-19S, I came out of the dead and bought it!!!! I wanted the vf-19 Kai, but it was 30$ more expensive, and I figured the S looks nicer....hope I made the right decision. Edit: oh, and I am actually rethinking selling my yf-19 25th anniversary.
  22. Arthurius
    it's after Z, apparently sometime in the 10 obscure years before the next saga started.
  23. Arthurius
