CTMA centre in Mongkok... use google maps, very helpful.

seems you've been bitten by the bug. SV-51 is a good choice, wicked looking fighter mode. but you gotta buy a VF-1, 1/60 or 1/48... your choice. Even if it's the oldest looking valk in terms of design, it just never gets old to look at. I never get tired of looking at my VF-1's even if the other newer valks look cooler and more advanced. Get one, you won't regret it. The new VF-1J super coming out this nov. would be a good choice.

weathered tomahawk is on yamato website... 12,600 JPY photozoomer

59 bucks!?!? damn! it's being sold here for double that! oh, well...

nice! that's the big bad robot from robocop on the right!?!? wow, that's BIG! nice white wood laminated display cab. hope it becomes available here... can only find natural and wenge.

congrats! you gotta get the YF-21 too... and next year the VF-11B is gonna come out... gotta complete the mac+ valks!

lotsa great news... VF-1D is looking really sweet! can't wait...

WoW! yf-19 store!

yep. 100% pinoy. i think you also need to buy a couple of "balikbayan" boxes esp. if you're there for a couple more months. i think you've seen the term "valkoholism" being used here, and tell you what, it's true and these are not as cheap as coffee and cigarettes. but seriously, for a macross fan it's really satisfying owning these collectors' toys. so buy everything that you think you really want... but don't forget to read some of the problems that members have had w/ their Yamato valks and inspect your valk/s when you get them coz Yamato's QC isn't perfect... yet. Pray you don't get a lemon... g'luck bro.

Mabuhay! get the v.2 VF-1... but down the line you gotta get a YF-21. The Nora is damn sexy too! ... valks (and other toys i.e. SOCs etc) in greenhills are legit, but i think it would be cheaper to get it there coz of the exchange rate and vat... and the prices here are like the prices there plus shipping... plus your in cebu...

if i were to buy only one garland, which would be the best one to get? thanks.

LOL! michel's valk looks like he's putting his "thing" out there while luca is trying to hide his between his legs... hahaha

there should be an open poll to determine who bitched about it and bought it anyways and who has the willpower to actually wait 5-10 years. ...and even if bandai keeps the MacF license for that long, the so-called "new" macross fans, who's first foray into Macross is MacF, will find out that Macross goes way way back. and they're gonna read this thread and think "what are these Yamato valks that everybody keeps mentioning?"... and guess who else is gonna cash in on these new fans???

love that underside shot w/ black aces fast pack and the kite under the left wing. great job!

if it was nearer the color (w/ black markings) of those CAT trucks then it would've been okay w/ me, i think...

try lifting it up a little to the back. the head articulation on this 21 makes a world of difference when making dynamic poses, it made me like it more than the 11 and 19.

whew, that was long. but yeah, i guess we just need to let the kid in us just enjoy these "toys" instead of over-analyzing everything. If you have the money and think you'll like it just the way it is, then buy it. If not then don't buy it. If you're not sure and you have money to spare, buy it and keep it for a week and if you end up not being satisfied, then sell it...

its good that the defender on yamato's website is not yellow anymore

...just couldn't help noticing when i saw this pic again that the GNU YF-21's head is not facing forward... i only figured it out a couple of weeks after i bought it that the YF-21 actually has head articulation ...

looks like somebody pissed on that destroid. saw it on Yamato website and thought wtf!?

LOL! the most evident for me from the start was the way Alto's VF-25 comes up to the flight deck just like Hikaru's VF-1J. Also similar color scheme valks and both w/ 2 antennae. Also, when they say "thank you"...

yeah, crappy english dub > ultra crappy tagalog dub... i cringe whenever i see anime dubbed in tagalog on local channels! was 6.5...

ROLMFAO!
