From "how many yamatos do you have"...

[robokochan]

I have to say that this is one of the most interesting (and entertaining threads).

Who ever thought "numbers" could be fun

Good work!

[Kanedas Bike]

Hot Damn!! Now I remember how much I hated math when I was in school.

At any rate great job mcpaz - the next time I have to crunch some numbers I'll remember who to PM.

[vf1_soulja]

I'm having bad flashbacks from college

I hope there isnt a statistics test at the end of this thread!

Cool info mcpaz

[mcpaz]

Thanks everyone!

...hate only leads you to the dark side

Yes, master... can you post a photo of your damn-big collection, pleeeeeaaaseeee ?

(BTW, I must be already at the dark side; I still hate you... )

Just one question (for curiosity, of course): how long have you been collecting yamatos? Your 1/72 numbers make me think that you might be a 'happy'... ahem... "damn tab B" owner, aren't you? So you might be, as Graham and Shawn, one of the 'pre-diluvian' masters of the sith, I guess...

If so, I'm presenting you my respects...

(I still have hate running through my veins... )

Mcpaz

(yeah, I should say frustrated mcpaz.... )

[CHAN]

crap! 4 of each? Do you collect anything else besides macross?

And do you have pics? never seen such a huge collection in my life!

[hevangel2]

Hi Sith,

Just wondering, what do you do with your 4x valks?

Are you displaying them or just leave them in the boxes?

[bigkid24]

I should have known s_i_t_h_l_o_r_d would have been the front runner with his three mode displays. Everytime he posts his collection I'm amazed.

Anyway, this post has been pretty damn interesting.

So if MW accounts for a high enough percentage of Yamato's sales, I say they should finally give us an exclusive.

[GobotFool]

I havn't seen a picture of sithlords collection, I wanna see a picture! And what percentile of yamato's business is owned my MW

[Skull Leader]

I know this is old, but I think it's time for a new tally, since several more yamatos have been bought since the last

[soze]

Hmmm, I don't think I ever contributed to that thread...

Ones I have kept for myself:

4 1/72's

11 1/60's

9 1/48's

8 1/48 FP's

At one time I had much much more... but they have since been re-allocated to other fellow MW'ers. Shoulda kept all those Low Vis though darn it!!!

Holy Cow!

Wait until I get paychecks of six figures (not counting the cents) every month!

[Neova]

We need an update and I want to see Gene's custom collection!!!

[kensei]

? I thought I had the biggest collection of Yamato 1/48s.

1x VF-1A Hikaru

1x VF-1S Focker

1x VF-1J Hikaru

13x VF-1A Max

5x VF-1S Hikaru

2x Low Vis

Total: 23

*4x VF-1J Maxk with Fast Packs to come in two weeks.

[nhyone]

This result should be pretty skewed. Most people who own less than 4 VFs may not have responded. I own 4 VFs (in 2 scales) and almost couldn't bother to respond. People who own more than that, on the other hand, will be inclined to respond.

Great thread, very entertaining read, and it has given me the impetus to updated my tally:

1 1/72 VF-19A

1 1/72 VF-11

1 1/72 VF-21

10 1/60 VF-1s [1 HIKARU 1A, 1 CF, 1 ROY 1S, 2 MAX 1As (one for a KAKIZAKI custom...one day), 1 VF-1D, 1 HIKARU 1J, 1 MAX 1J, 1 MILLIA 1J, and 1 STRIKE 1S)

1 1/60 MILLIA Q-RAU

4 1/48 (1 LOW VIS, 1 MAX 1A, 1 HIKARU 1J W/FP, 1 ROY 1S, 1 FP set)

Approximate average spent in each category (per unit):

1/72s = $ 70.00 w/S&H

1/60s = $ 58.00 w/S&H

1/60 Q-Rau = $ 95.00 w/S&H

1/48s = $125.00 w/S&H

1/48 FPs = $ 60.00 w/S$H (note that one of the FP were included with the 1J)

[Draykov]

yamato has sold more 1/60's than 1/48 and 1/72 togheter...

Since the release of the 1/48, I've sold off 8 of my 1/60s...ones I'd never have bought in the first place if I knew what was to come.

Edited April 14, 2004 by Draykov

[calvin]

funny, I also have sold off most of my 1/60 scale to make shelf space for my 1/48 macross. I also would of never bought all of those if I only knew............

I kept the:

1/60 ve-1,ostrich,vf-1d and the super vf1j,(these will go soon when the 1/48's get here!!!!

all others had to go...........

I have 18 1/48's

5 low viz

4 vf-1s roy (2 1st run, 2 reissue)

2 vf-1j's

4 vf-1a (1st,reissue)M,H

2 vf-1s H

1 vf-1j max

13 FP :$ 3822 HKD ( $ 478.35 USD, average $ 36.8 usd for each)

Man , Shawn oughts to pin this thread.

The results are amazing , I mean s_i_t_h_l_o_r_d must be on ther drug trade or some crap like that , considering he´s spending that much just in toys imagine how much does he spend on cars , lager and women

Also , considering that only a mere 234 number of users voted in said thread and from just that number MW has collaborated already with 2693 toys sold to date , that crap about ¨Yamato has no obligation to care about MW members cause we don´t mean nothing to them cause we don´t contribute to their net sales ¨ is just utter BS IMO. Think of all those who didn´t get to vote and have 2 or more Yamatos at home. That has to count for something.

I´m still impressed by these numbers , some people need help with their shopping habits.

Though , if I had to choose between having a good life (nice family, great house , cool car , social life...) and a massive Macross toy collection , I would have to think really hard about it...like for...10 secs

YA~! my girl friend and my mother hate me very much~

but please don't hate me, we are the "band of brothers " in MW~

[Mr March]

That's some crazy statistics. Though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. I'm probably one of the self proclaimed non-collectors on these boards, yet I own three 1/48 Yammies...and did own a 1/60 until I sold it last year.

What can I say, Yamato makes a good product

[vanpang]

I have the following yammies :-

1/48 scale

VF-1A hikaru x 1

VF-1S roy x 1

VF-1A Max x 1

VF-1A low Vis x 2

VF-1S Hikaru x 1

Fast pack x 1

VF-1J Hikaru x 1

VF-1J with FAST pack x1

1/60 scale

VF-1S Roy (Strike)

VF-1J Milia (Super)

VF-1A Max

VF-1A Kanzaki

Q-Rau

Total : 15 pieces (including one fast pack)

The thing I have other projects around the house that needs to be done. I would like to get my little workshop setup. I am looking into paint and such. We will se if I have modelling skills. VF-1S Max is ready... just need some paint on the head. VF-1A Kakizaki will need some green paint. Also I willmake the one the VF-1S Roy into a TV roy and the other VF-1S roy for a TV Hikaru VF-1S FP.

Hey guys,

I think Yamato should award some of us with Yamato Loyalty Card or something similar as a sign of appreciation. Something like for every 4 1/48 scale valks you buy, you get a low-vis Valk free !!!

But seriously, I think Yamato should appreciate Shawn and Graham more since MW is one platform where we Macross fans can give feedbacks and suggestions to their products and indirectly Yamato's coffers Just look at the volume we are buying !!!

Fun thread McPaz - this was quite interesting.
