eugimon Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 The Yamato 1/48 Scale VF-1 Valkyrie Accessories Survey link doesn't seem to work for me. Anyone else have this problem? yup. busted for me as well Quote
Macross73 Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 yep not working but i got the others done Quote
Dante74 Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I guess its night in Aussieland now. HEY KENSEI!! WAKE UP!! YOU NEED TO FIX THE LINK TO THE ACCESSORIES SURVEY!! Quote
do not disturb Posted December 29, 2006 Author Posted December 29, 2006 done! the only one i didn't do was the zero stuff cause i havne't gotten everything as of yet. also is there any way we can see the totals? Quote
Wicked Ace Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) is there any way we can see the totals? A bar graph would be nice to see "who's in the lead." Of course making a graph of the results (which keeps track of updates) is probably a pain in the @ss, so perhaps someone can help out kensei -- might be nice for Graham to go into a meeting with Yamato people armed with such a graph, showing how much of a chunk Macrossworld consumes (and how much influence Macrossworld should have on Yamato's offerings).

jenius Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Man, seems like a lot has happened in this thread. When the survey is completely ready for answering can we give it its own thread? That'll help draw some attention to it. Quote

IMO, no good thread stays on topic! i'm sure kensei will start a new thread when he wakes up. til then.... how much have you spent on yammies? Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 yup. busted for me as well It's still not working for me either Quote
mister_e Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Until kensei can fix the link in his sig, you can still get to the VF-1 Accessories survey, he just misspelled the domain name. Here's the fixed link: Macrossworld's End of 2006 1/48 VF-1 Accessories Survey Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Thank you Mr_e, I've just added my totals Quote
Hurin Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Man, seems like a lot has happened in this thread. When the survey is completely ready for answering can we give it its own thread? That'll help draw some attention to it. I'm thinking the same thing. May see about bringing some more attention to this in other ways too. Quote
Dante74 Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Needing to enter all those zero's makes me feel like I'm missing out on a lot of valk goodness. Yamato sure released a lot of Macross stuf, most of its repaints though. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I`ve spend less than 100$ for two 1/60 VF-1 valks . No interest in Yamato cuz of their QC issues. Quote
Solscud007 Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 I`ve spend less than 100$ for two 1/60 VF-1 valks . No interest in Yamato cuz of their QC issues. then what do you collect instead? MPC? Takatoku/bandai? Quote
kensei Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) I guess its night in Aussieland now. HEY KENSEI!! WAKE UP!! YOU NEED TO FIX THE LINK TO THE ACCESSORIES SURVEY!! ??? ** Fixed! Yamato 1/48 VF-1 Accessories Survey Also congrats to the person who has a very respectable 42 1/48 Scale Valkyries in his collection! This is going as expected. The most responses are of the overview survey, less for the others. It's not bad having to have several surveys afterall, as you only use what's relevant to you. Saves a bit of time. Man, seems like a lot has happened in this thread. When the survey is completely ready for answering can we give it its own thread? That'll help draw some attention to it. I put a note on the bottom that I would like to get answers on the 6th Jan, but let me get to the gym before I make a new thread. then what do you collect instead? MPC? Takatoku/bandai? Would be interesting to see how much you actually spend on other products. Yamato alone does not make all Macross. Especially, I want to see how much you guys shell out on those Elintseekers.

Aegis! Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) Awesome work! I´ve been wondering about the exact bulk we´ve spent on Yamato toys like for ages I second the idea of giving Graham the results so he can go face-to-face with Yamato´s representatives and show how much we´re worth in their niche market ....did that sound kinda sad somehow ? As said before , great work Kensei, thanks a lot! I´ve already voted, I´m dying to know the results Edited December 30, 2006 by Aegis! Quote
kensei Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 I'm gonna make a separate thread and also advertise to three other forums to do this. Apparently, there is only a 10 day limit on these surveys. We've massed over 200 valks in 1/48 scale already from 16 people. That's amazing! People have a decent sized collection at least. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 then what do you collect instead? MPC? Takatoku/bandai? Bandai but mostly kits, since a kid I`ve always prefered Macross kits over toys. Quote
Sumdumgai Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Typo in the Macross Zero survey. VF-0S production should be VF-0A. Just a heads up. Quote
kensei Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Thanks! Fixed! BTW, is it just me, or has Aegis' posts been coming up with some pretty funky characters (diamonds with ? marks in them) lately? Quote
Ghadrack Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Survey's completed. My Yamato collection consists of: 1/72 YF-19 = $75.00 at a con about ten years ago 1/100 Monster = $140.00 1/60 YF-19 = $165.00 1/48 Hikaru 1-S = $120.00 1/48 Hikaru 1-A = $105.00 1/48 Hikaru Super 1-J = $145.00 1/48 Max 1-A = $95.00 1/48 Max Super 1-J = $140.00 1/48 Millia Super 1-J = $140.00 1/60 Millia QRau = $85.00 1/48 Roy 1-S = $105.00 1/48 Low Vis 1-A version 1 = $130.00 1/48 Cannon Foddder 1-A = $120.00 3 X 1/48 Super/Strike Fast Pack sets = $165.00 1/48 GBP-1S = $65.00 1/48 GBP-1S Low Vis Woodland = $65.00 1/60 VF-0A = $135.00 1/60 VF-0S - $135.00 Total - $2,130 if I added properly I may have been a little off on some prices here and there by 5 or ten bucks, I tried to get as close as possible. Prices have been really incosistent over the years with different dealers. Quote
Aegis! Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) Thanks! Fixed! BTW, is it just me, or has Aegis' posts been coming up with some pretty funky characters (diamonds with ? marks in them) lately? Oh, yeah , it´s something to do with my laptop´s keyboard (it lacks the ' character ) and the Quick edit Mode in the forums that translates the ` as a weird diamond/heart like character. Weird, isn´t it ? Anyway back to topic, I can safely guess that we ,at the very least, translate to 25% of Yamato´s market, I don´t know how big Yamato production runs are but it isn´t a big company as Bandai so i´m guessing is not that large a number and given the bulk that some members here have accumulated I think MW should be the VIP in Yamato´s market.

do not disturb Posted July 12, 2008 Author Posted July 12, 2008 just thought i'd bump this up to accompany that other thread. this thread is both amazing and depressing. Quote
EXO Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 people don't really add shipping and all the stuff they spent for resin side covers and hands, paint for some customizers and shelvers and all that... lol. Quote
Vegas Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 people don't really add shipping and all the stuff they spent for resin side covers and hands, paint for some customizers and shelvers and all that... lol. in my case.....gas, food and car rental too Quote

Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 this thread was bad as is but now you're making it worse. Well in my case, I pay 50% of import taxes at customs!!! I don't want to figure out my total Quote
Guest sh002 Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 too much to list. i might eventually direct my money to bandai if their macross frontier valkyries turn out good and enough 1/55 reissues come out. i will still buy any remaining 1/60 releases from yamato for macross plus and macross zero (if they are still putting out anymore from this series). i might also collect a few of the new 1/60 vf-1's but definitely not all.

Valkyrie Nut Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I'd say about £350. Thinking of getting the VF-0A as it's on sale at HLJ. Is it worth getting? Quote
