Blaine23 Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 My original Jetfire (my link to the past) Joon's Hikaru 1J Joon's Milia 1J Joon's wacky blue canopy 1J Bandai Strike 1S Reissue Hikaru 1J Reissue Focker 1S Reissue CF 1A Reissue Hikaru 1A Reissue Super Focker 1S Reissue Max 1J Reissue Milia 1J ... and Jesse's recast GBP armor and Strike armor All I really need is a SuperO and an Elint... and a custom 1D... Okay, I'll admit it - I still have serious love for the chunky monkeys. Quote
Weaseldancer Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 Let's see, I have 6 re-issues, 2 Joon's, a custom Jetfire that was converted to a VF-1D and 2 other Jetfires so I have a total of 11 chunky monkeys. Quote
Skull-1 Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 (edited) I have close to fifty of 'em. I can't even remember the totals. My only disappointment is that I only have one Milia re-issue instead of two. I have at least two of everything else and in some cases a dozen or more. Six Supers.....eight Jetfires....eight DYRL "A" models, eight Cannon Fodders, four or five "S" models, two Max models....six Hikaru "J" models.... I'm losing track of them all.... But a lot any way. I kinda' went nuts and bought everything that came out in big bunches. I have no idea what I will do with them all. I think I was simply compensating for my childhood lack of Valkyries. I had a JF mint in the box that got stolen/lost when I was in high school. I have yet to recover from that incident. Edited October 14, 2003 by Skull-1 Quote
mech9T8 Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 I still love the 1/55, and here is what I have: 3 Jetifires; 1 converted to a Super VF-1S Max, the other to a Strike Roy (my pride and joy) 1 VF-1A Brownie 1 Super VF-1S reissue 1 VF-1J Hikaru reissue (to put in my GBP-1S) 1 VF-1A Hikaru reissue (which will be converted to a VF-1S strike with the recast armour I aquired). Quote
treatment Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 hmm. I only got 6 re-issues. two 1A hikaru. two 1S hikaru. two 1A CF. I gave my nephews both the CF and one of the 1A. They put it thru hell and back and it still ain't broken. I think they lost the canopies, tho. I'm gonna be painting one of the 1S into a Blue Max. Quote
PC Valkyrie Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 I've only got one 1/55 Super VF-1S Bandai reissue. I got it just to see what a genuine chunkey monkey looks and feels like, as the original toys from the 1980's were out of reach for me. I must admit that it is far more "playable" than any of my Yamato's. Perhaps, I should rephrase that: I feel far more comfortable playing around with it than my Yamato's because I am not afraid of breaking something. I definitely think it is superior that way. However, my main priority is still accuracy of appearance, so I haven't bought any more of the Bandai reissues. Been wasting money on the Yamato 1/48's instead. Quote

GobotFool Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 I've been pondering trying to pick up a vintage 1/55 Taka, but really for the cash they go for I could get so many other different things that I wanted. Quote

Kinda sad that with all those boxes I don't have a single super with armor... good thing i'm married cause I sure wouldn't want to bring a strange girl back to a bedroom with this much crap Quote

Toonz Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 (edited) so many of you have so many 1/55s...... me jealous.... Edited October 19, 2003 by Toonz Quote
Batou Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 Hah! Funny to see this thread is back - I just got my first chunky monkey from HLJ (picked up a Roy VF-1S while they were on sale). It's wild playing with this thing - it brings back so many memories of my trusty old Jetfire from when I was a kid. Ahhhh the memories ... It's a nice little brick, and I forgot just how solid these things are. And all the joints "click". The price was right on this, and I'm glad I got it now - it's definitely the one to hand to "friends" who like to get touchy feely with my Yamatos. "Here ... why don't you put that down and play with this one instead ..." Quote

bigkid24 Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 I think I have about 12 or 13. One each of the re-issues plus three extra super 1Ss, a strike valk, a 1990 re-issue, jetfire and a joons. Oh and two $5 boots. Still working on organizing my collection into displays. Quote
Graham Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 Recently sold most of my old Chunky Monkeys on ebay, so only have the following left. Takatoku 1/55 = 1pc. (VF-1A CF & 1 set of GBP-1S armor). Bandai 1/55 = 1pc. (VF-1S Strike). Joons = 1pc. (VF-1J Hikaru) Bandai Reissues = 7pcs. (1 of each type). Total = 10pcs. Graham Quote
Graham Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 Oh, and just like to add, the only reason I'm keeping any 1/55 toys is that when and if I have a kid, they will be used for 'baby's first Valks' Seriously, if I have a kid, and they show an interest in Macross, I'll give em the 1/55s to play with when they are maybe 4 years old. Graham Quote
myk Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 I proudly own 8 of these examples of solid, yet adequately beautiful designs. Folks, consider these Valkyries to be the Volvos of the toy universe. Quote

Kamion Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 I have one reissue 1/55 1S... It was cheap so I bought it. But upon getting it, didn't like it at all. So it's still sitting in the box up in the loft somewhere. Quote
Pat S Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 I have one Jetfire that I modified about 10 years ago. You can kind of see it in this pic... http://www.mrtwo.net/mr2modproject/temp/toys3.JPG Love that thing, takes 10 seconds to transform. Quote
joke-machine Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 Yeah, ugly as sin, but tough as a brick sh*t house Graham Well at least they don't fall apart by looking at them the wrong way (like some other brands we know) Quote
