when i saw on the other thread that they're asking for Y2000 each for the Fast Pack add-on for the GNU's... it does seem that they tend to become greedy at times... on a different note, i think making these "Limited Exclusive" stuff makes them "greedy" or maybe selfish (not money-greedy). the first time i saw the weathered 1S, i didn't know it was gonna be a limited release, i just really liked it coz it looked awesome, not because it's an exclusive item. i think it's greedy or selfish of them to leave the countless non-Japan-resident Macross fans salivating. i dunno, somebody said it might be a culture thing, this Limited/Exclusive thing.

heard from a store i get Yamatos from that it's already fully-booked... so all's left for us foreigners is to wait for it to pop-up in evilbay.

while my vote would go to Hikaru's VF-1S... Roy (the character) still is ace! His death in DYRL is more dramatic and heroic and let's not forget he taught Hikaru everything he knows from planes to women.

this sounds like a very cool idea. i'd love to have a Macross dining set (plates, placemats, utensils), a Macross towel, Macross bedroom slippers etc. (maybe Macross speedos ...not)... but where does one find these things??? hmmmm, maybe i'll try a local "personalize it" shop.

FLAME YOU, FLAME YOU! ... kidding ... but i'm still crossing my fingers that it'll come out this Dec.

GNU > Revo definitely... esp. since its in ABS instead of shiny PVC.

Half-gerwalk Nora never gets old... must try that sometime. love your GL stuff.

don't doubt... HOPE! do keep me posted if it will come out this dec.... i will move heaven and earth to get it from CT.

Thanks. I'm waiting for the new 1/60 m&m to be announced too, it took all my willpower to resist the 1/48 m&m set that i saw going for a very good price of around ~US$260 (for both!) just to wait in agony for any news of the new 1/60s... the revos are for battroid (obviously! ) and v.2 m&m i would display in fighter or gerwalk.

Thanks, man. Only the 1J, YF-19 and revo 1J Miria for Macross. Daimos, MazOVA and Go Shogun for the other stuff. Good thing you told me about Richmond coz the MazOVA at Sino was 2x the price. Hope you can display your "babies" soon... saw a Detolf at one of your local IKEAs for HK900++ (not sure) double the US60 its being sold for in the US.

will these be with matte or glossy slip-on cover?

wow, big-ass pics! congrats... chicken hands still make me laugh LOL. that's why my lone 1/48 will stay in fighter or half-gerwalk only. it's a 1/48... no shoulder issues there...

i know what you mean. poor Isamu... not being treated like the hero that he is. i see you got the 21 too. safe trip pare.

thanks. the display cab is a locally made "detolf look-alike" w/out the overhead light. mine's wider w/ double doors but there's a single door version w/ the back part being glass also that looks exactly like the detolf by ikea. sadly, it's 3x the cost, but at least i get a rebate w/ my frequent shopper card. i also considered having the detolf shipped here to the Philippines, but it would eventually cost double. i also checked the detolf in Ikea HK and it's also selling for more than double the price its being sold there in the US ($60, i think).

the hands for me is indeed one of the most noticable and most welcome improvement. hate the middle to pinky configuration of the old chicken hands. agreed, the more humanoid proportions of the v.2 VF-1 is definitely nicer, better... (VF-0S looks like a WWE wrestler compared to the VF-1)

... good luck Isamu ... hope you land in one piece

yeah love Voltes too (although pissed with the hands that can't hold up his sword properly )... gotta get the re-color GX-31V past the wife somehow

Thanks guys. had the max revo for quite some time and i just gotta have miria too, 1/60 v.2 m&m soon. cockpit was pure luck... well, i'm on a strict toy collecting budget by the wifey so i get only what i really want to keep. bought some stuff before on impulse that i realized i didn't want as soon as i got home, i sold them at a small loss... wifey not happy . Ultra Magnus armor is the bomb!

i see you're on you way back to the PH. i would recommend that you at least put it in a "balikbayan" box. that's what i did with my hauls from hk... not a dent on any of the boxes. but if you don't really care for the box/packaging i think that the contents might survive being checked-in as long as you have it marked FRAGILE. but there's still a risk since you don't really have any control over what happens to it once it rolls out of your sight on the conveyor belt. get a small balikbayan box, you won't regret it.

it's working now. Thanks!

just wanted to share my "relatively newbie"/small but growing collection. the space behind the revos is for the much anticipated Hikky VF-1S and VF-1D . Still trying to figure out where to put the up'n'coming v.2 VF-0S .
