Vegas Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 so did anybody here won the weathered valk auction from ebay? Quote
Dante74 Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 If Yamato can tampo print all these little marking on this "Exclusive" VF-1, why didn't they do it on all the others? We've been buying Valks with crappy stickers for years now when we could and should have gotten fully tampoed ones. Quote
Wicked Ace Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 I prefer crack myself... . . . depends on the woman. Quote
Roy's Blues Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Remember how upset everyone was with the crooked skulls on the tail fins when the VF-1S first came out in 1/48. I would hate to think what would happen when the "NO STEP" is tampo'ed not parallel to the trailing edge on the wing. It would bother me to no end. Yet, it would be great to have all marking right out of the box. I wonder if anyone is trying to get a set of the shot glasses and then selling the Valk. Or even worse, they could misspell it a la "Excalivor". Who would want a valk that said "HO STEP" or "NO STOP" tampoed on the wings Quote
Wicked Ace Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Just say "NO" to "NO STEPs" on any variable fighter newer than the VF-0. Maybe a resident aircraft enthusiast or two will back me up on this. Quote
Fly4victory Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Or even worse, they could misspell it a la "Excalivor". Who would want a valk that said "HO STEP" or "NO STOP" tampoed on the wings I am all about the "HO" step.... even more so if she is like Lucy from M+. Quote
MrDisco Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 so haven't visited here in a while, but after receiving my 25th anniversary valks today I thought I'ld pop back in. when this gets released in Q3 are there some 'go-to' people here we can contact to place an order? Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 nice shotglass. I haven't checked all the new threads since i been away, but everyone knows that hljcom has Roy's 1S up for early bird again? whats that, 6 or 7th time now? Quote
Kicker773 Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 so won't we be able to order these anywhere? Quote
misterryno Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 so won't we be able to order these anywhere? As far as I understand you won't be able to unless you live in Japan. THAT'S UNTHINKABLE!!! Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 One of the biggest beefs collectors had when roy was first reissued was that: "OH NO, NOW YAMATO HAS SCREWED OVER THE COLLECTOR. I DON'T WANT THEM TO REISSUE ROY BECAUSE NOW IT'S DEVALUED THE TOY!11" Because of this I'm glad that there are some valks that are hard to get for these guys, so that way they can't complain when normal paint schemes are reissued and they can justify the high price. It allows people who were new to collecting the valks to still be able to get the normal releases long after the early adopters have bought everything want, (no shortages of popular mecha) without complaints that yamato is screwing over the collector by reissuing things. But having just said that. Man I wish they made a fully tampo printed Roy with weathering.. But all the upcoming stuff is more then enough for me. Quote
eugimon Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 As far as I understand you won't be able to unless you live in Japan. THAT'S UNTHINKABLE!!! good thing I have friends in japan. Quote
misterryno Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 good thing I have friends in japan. My friend in Japan has gotten married and is having a child. So I really have'nt been able to get ahold of him . Ahhhhh life.....it's a wonderful roller coaster ride. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) no... "it's a hell of a toboggan ride!" geez! Edited March 8, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
MacrossMan Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 good thing I have friends in japan. Let's be friend eugimon. That way your friend can get your friend a weathered Roy. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 I am all about the "HO" step.... even more so if she is like Lucy from M+. Lucy wasn't no hoe! She was a nice freckly blonde girlie. Quote
Fly4victory Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Lucy wasn't no hoe! She was a nice freckly blonde girlie. That is why I like the movie edition. They gave her a very "HO"ish scene. Quote
eugimon Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Let's be friend eugimon. That way your friend can get your friend a weathered Roy. I'll see what I can do for members here who are interested. My friend is NOT a toy/anime friend though.. he does freelance production/translation (he works a lot of jobs and is very busy as a result) work so I don't know how keen he'll be to do this. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I guess eugimon's gonna have a lot of new friends Quote
eugimon Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I'm not promising anything here guys. Right now, I don't even know if my friend will be in Japan or not as he travels a lot, so don't get your hopes up. Quote
Dobber Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I'd be interested also eugimon, if it can happen. What is the real price for these...not the E-bay price? OT, anyone know where/how we can get those Macross T-shirts that are in the background of the pictures that we've been seeing? I love the UN Spacey shirt!!! Chris Quote
eugimon Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Huh! Some friend you turned out to be! member name "chet" added to blacklist.... Quote

Chris Well, if it happens, please keep in mind that it won't be through wholesale. So I would be paying full retailing, shipping from japan and then shipping again to whoever. So, very limited number of units, I would need payment upfront and the prices are likely to be high but high due to shipping costs. I'm not interested in trying to make money off of this, but I do expect to break even for every unit (other than mine) which I bring in. I'll post up a proper thread in the for sale section if I do this. Please don't PM me on this at this point. Thanks. Quote

jenius Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 What about Rob AKA Samurai Monkey? Isn't he in Japan? He offers valks for sell occasionally, he might have the ability to help us out too. I think it's a wee bit early to try to make arrangements. Wake this thread in six months. Quote

Let's know when and if you're able to make this happen. I most definitely in it for one. Thanks! Quote
miriya Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I want to take a field trip to Akihabara and stock up on macross toys! Someday somehow. Quote
MacrossMan Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I want to take a field trip to Akihabara and stock up on macross toys! Someday somehow. Yep. Heck, I wish I understood Japanese. I would buy a time share in Japan just to shop and visit twice a year. Quote

misterryno Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 What about Graham... Yeahhhh.....what about Graham? Quote
miriya Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Graham master flash is in Hong Kong, right? But of course being "in bed with" Yamato he will probably have access to these weathered specials. And the inevitable proverbial refrain, "Graham is probably playing with it right now™!" Quote
azrael Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Yeahhhh.....what about Graham? Graham is in Hong Kong. Quote
Vegas Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 he's probably bombarded with requests too What about Rob AKA Samurai Monkey? Isn't he in Japan?
