Vermillion21 Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 (edited) Before members start yelling at me, I know I saw a thread weeks (months?) ago asking people to list how many valkyries they own, but I couldn't find it in the forum search to continue the thread. So I started a new one. I am a big Macross fan, but it is difficult to justify to the wife getting more valkyries. She says "they look the same, just with a different style head and paint scheme". Sigh. A shame, since I only just recently, finally, got a 1/48 Yamato and love it!! Need to get more .... Q) How many valkyries do you own? Please list. I have: 2x 1/48 Yamatos 4x 1/55 Bandai reissues 2x 1/55 Toynami MPC (with regret) Maybe if enough of you post, I can prove that I am just a "rookie" amateur collector ....

Godzilla Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 Go here: How many do you own and here: Official valk count. As for me: look at my siggy. It says it all. But not count yet since I dont have the VF-0s (coming friday) and the 2 Vf-1S Hikarus. Also on preorder is 12 stealths FPs and 8 LV 2s. Quote
kanata67 Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 (edited) why does some fool always want me to count my jetfires??? as long as the wife thinks all 40+ 1/55's are the same one I keep messing with she doesn't notice the additional numbers. that and I am too lazy to count hey!!!! I'm beating godzilla at something on his list . and no... not the 1/48 by a long shot Edited May 23, 2006 by kanata67 Quote

Ginrai Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 Aren't both of those threads for Yamato toys only? That's why I never posted. I have plenty of Takatoku/Matsushiro/Bandai Valkyries, but not Yamatos. Quote

vlenhoff Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) 2x 1/55 Toynami MPC (with regret) 401517[/snapback] Are Toynami MPC really that bad? I've always wondered if i sould at least get one... I own 56... Is that sick? Nah Updated totals! Edited June 17, 2006 by vlenhoff Quote
myk Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Are Toynami MPC really that bad? I've always wondered if i sould at least get one... They're pretty bad, although I did pick up the YF-1R just to have a black VF-1. Of course, Yamato ends up releasing one a few years later in a bigger size, no less... Quote
Bishop Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Just started my collection... so just a few compared to you guys! Bandai Reissues VF-1S + FAST pack VF-1A Owned an old Takatoku VF-1S for 20 years (Highly damaged, but still standing ;-) Yamato 1/60 VF-1S VF-1A (Blue and Red) May be I will be tempted with an 1/48 one day...

kanata67 Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 dammit... make me go look... most of my breakdown is in the 1/55 revisited thread but here is a recap... 1 1/48 with f/p and gbp + a stealth f/p on the way, yammie 2 hcms 4 jm's 5 1/100 8 mpc's 3 19a yammie 2 21 yammie 2 11b f/p yammie 1 11b yammie 5 boxed jetfires 3 boxed strike 1 chinese super 1 each 1/65 19 and 17 29 non f/p 1/55's safely boxed 1 gbp in styro only 2 1/55 in styro only 17+ loose 1/55's and I still need A few more 1/55's to have them all I am sure I missed a few along the way as I am not willing to go through my tupperware at the moment or clean my "office" Quote

I hesitated for a loooonnnng time because of their price point, and I was very happy with the 1/55 Bandai re-issues. But I finally gave into temptation this month ... man, why did I wait so long? The 1/48 Yamato Valks are a thing of beauty!! Quote
Vermillion21 Posted May 24, 2006 Author Posted May 24, 2006 2x 1/55 Toynami MPC (with regret) 401517[/snapback] Are Toynami MPC really that bad? I've always wondered if i sould at least get one... I own 55... Is that sick? Nah 401816[/snapback] Yes, regretfully they are. Now that I have "seen the light" I know better. Compared to the 1/48 Yamatos they just don't hold a candle (or a gunpod for that matter). Nice packaging though ... gotta give Toynami that!! The sad thing is, a lot of Robotech fans who love the mecha are not informed/aware of the 1/48 Yamatos (like I was for awhile), because you can't mention them on the Robotech site forums. It's against their "terms of use", because Toynami gets annoyed when you mention anything other than the MPC. Quote
jenius Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 They're pretty bad, although I did pick up the YF-1R just to have a black VF-1. Of course, Yamato ends up releasing one a few years later in a bigger size, no less... Um, the YF-1R isn't black, it's an odd brown color. Are you saying you bought one to paint it black? The MPCs are just over-sized Bandai HCMs with a few minor tweaks (for the better) and a knee that swivels outward. Nothing special but not entirely lame. Quote
vlenhoff Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 I'm always itching to get one, but I guess I'll pass. Thanks guys. I don't know why when you don't have something it appears extra appealing. BTW, I also though the YF-1R was some sort off purpleish/brown color.... I wonder what is the deal with Yamato releasing limited valks instead of releasing the 1A TV series for Max and Kakizaki. I personally thing they would bank on a 1D, but that's just my opinion. Quote
