Agent-GHQ Posted March 21, 2006 Author Posted March 21, 2006 Damn!! That is a clean and shinny VF-1S Strike Valk. Even the landing gears are glossy and shinny too. Got to love the 1/55. Quote

jenius Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Bandai valkyries on the USS Flagg .... sweet!!!! If I'm not mistaken, those are three Takatoku valks and one Bandai Strike on the USS Flagg. You can tell the Takatokus by the armor which was a lighter gray color. Bandai started making them bluer with their 1990 reissue and then again with their 2000ish reissue. Of course, the GBP was never reissued so that's gotta be original (although the valk might not be but seeing the rest of that collection, I'm pretty sure it is). Very nice and white chunkies Sephiroth! Quote

Fortress_Maximus Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Great pic of the 1/55s on the USS Flag! I wonder how the 1/48s would look... *ducks* in a separate thread. Quote

jenius Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 This thread needs a sense of humor. Perhaps some joke machines could help? Quote
Veritas Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 This thread needs a sense of humor. Perhaps some joke machines could help? 404018[/snapback] Nice nothing like some JM's to lighten the mode. Nice and clean too. I always wondered why they didn't steal this design for the JM rip off morphers they released all those years ago with the release of the Robotech DVDs. Those morphers were actually a step backward in toy design. Had they looked like this they would have flown off the shelves. I don't know how many places i saw those in the bargain bins only a couple of months after their release... whew sorry ranting. Quote
jenius Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 Well Toynami ripped off Takatoku's Paro-Valkyrie to do their morphers. They probably couldn't get permission from Bandai to do a jokemachine and these things would definitely cost a lot more to produce than those craptastic morphers. Quote
Culverin Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 hey hey... just for to help fill me in cause of my newbness what are joke machines? re: the SD Figs that Jenius posted, what series they from? Quote
Vermillion21 Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 hey hey... just for to help fill me in cause of my newbnesswhat are joke machines? re: the SD Figs that Jenius posted, what series they from? 405129[/snapback] Check out the newbie thread - they answer the question in the first post ... Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 hey hey... just for to help fill me in cause of my newbnesswhat are joke machines? re: the SD Figs that Jenius posted, what series they from? 405129[/snapback] I'll just answer that. They are called joke machines because that's what it states on the Japanese packaging. So the name stuck. The american versions didn't have that name. Knowing how we are about macross, we like to keep the original names ie. Macross - robotech. The japenese versions came out with five different JM's. VF-1S roy, VF-1a Max, VF-1a hikaru, VF-1j Max, and VF-1J Miriya. The matchbox versions came out with only three. VF-1S roy, VF-1J Max, and VF-1J Miriya. There's a picture guide to these JM's on the main page in the toy section. I'd post up pix of mine, but they are all in boxes. Quote
Bub Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 I finally added a minty Bandai 1/55 VF-1S Strike Vakyrie to my collection. My wife got it for my birthday last week on ebay for about $260. It came with all its accessories, unused sticker sheets and box was pretty much unused. The red heatshield is from an original Bandai 1/55 VF-1A that I picked up ebay for about $40; I think it looks great on the Strike. This is my new favorite Macross toy next to my Takatoku VF-1A Super Valkyrie and my Takatoku VF-1J w/ GBP-1S armor. I like the new Yamato stuff, but I love the scale, ease of transformation and look of the 1/55's...these are the toys I grew up. Damn! $260 for a mint Strike!! Lucky!! Quote
Mechafan Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Man that is a good price. I wished I could say the same. Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Indeed great find and nice collection! Love the chunkies! Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Believe it or not, the minty strikes have been only going for less then 300 bucks. Demand hasn't been high for these. So buy it now while it's cheap! Quote
Vermillion21 Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 I dunno mate, I've seen some of them go for over $300 on eBay the last year or so .... Quote
Sephiroth Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 (edited) More 1/55 chunky, goodness... Edited June 10, 2006 by Sephiroth Quote
Vermillion21 Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Another USS Flagg and Bandai 1/55 combo ...awesome!! Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Love it, we need a squadron of those! Loving the chunkies. Btw, has anyone ever repainted a chunkey to LV colors? Got one? Post please! Thanks! Quote

jenius Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 wow, that's fresh and clean. Is that the bootleg or genuine TT? I haven't looked at mine in a while but something is striking me as different... (probably just my cruddy memory though) Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 yup, that looks like the real deal Takatoku to me. Although he didn't pull out the bridge and the radar dish thingy to the side. Oh well... Quote
