Hello RichyX

welcome to the boards, you'll find lots of usefull info in here

well, you're question is sorta vague, what kind of model are you looking for? what is your budget?

if you want scale models, the best ones are mostly from Hasegawa

if you want toys, currently, the best is Yamato, but they are sorta expensive and right know you have reached a sorta big debate on the forum about their toys, in general, they are very good in detail, but it sometimes leaves a bit more desired for their price

the Robotech masterpiece valks you mention are for some reason expensive and consider a collector item but they are really nowhere near as good as Yamato's, but if you want to make a profit, keep them sealed up cause their market value keeps increasing over the years

it's nice that you're getting into a lot of Macross, but errrr.... try not to mention 'robotech' too much here since people aren't very fond of it (long story) and also, don't dwell too much on Macross 7, hhahaha! theirs a newbie thread that might be usefull (if you want to read 80 plus pages)

also for peoples collection, you might want to check the 'display your collection' thread

Display collection

hope this help, good luck, nice to have a new member, welcome aboard!

Welcome to the boards. Im also new here. must admit I did learn a lot from the guys in here. started collecting macross toys...

As valkyrie addict suggested yamato would be the choice if budget is not the problem.

thanks for the reply

ill try and keep robotech to a minimum now then lol

i want to start to collect the built models and toys, they will be only display anyhow as there too much detail to be played with i think

i do have some model kits but havnt a clue where to start on these yet

1 is just a valkire and the other with the gbp armour is it? anyhow there going to take ame a good fe months to build and paint etc

ill take a look in teh newbies section but 80 pages is quite long

and will go take a look at that link to see some of your colections so i can be jealous of

thanks for the replie much appricated
