modcineaste Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Thanks to everyone from Macross World to putting on a A Class event! Here's my Collection DX Report on Macross World '08: http://www.collectiondx.com/node/2720 Cheers! Leonardo Flores Quote
pochimus prime Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 wow thanks for posting this the customs were wicked! I especially loved the 1A Max in Zentraedi uniform. BTW, the Pony-Toy Go Round story you mentioned piqued my curiosity. What's it about? Quote
bigkid24 Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Nice report and pics. It's interesting to see from the eyes of someone that wasn't a registered member beforehand. Glad that you had a good time too. Quote
Save Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 "Later another collector brought some original artwork from many of the people who worked on Macross, one that was raffled off at the end of the day’s events." I don't remember flying to Long Beach to hand deliver the sketch! Quote

misterryno Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 hey, great report and pics, hehehe, glad to see you finally decided to join up and post, hehehe I got a question, how rare is this minmai wind up doll I got one that was assembling for my gf so she could play with it but put it aside for a long time I was told by quite a few people that it was a RARE item.....hence why they were selling it for 50 bones.

modcineaste Posted August 5, 2008 Author Posted August 5, 2008 Glad you all liked the review. I had a great time and it gives me a year to come up with a Custom for the contest. I changed the line in the article so it reflects that the drawing was not from your collection! I was a bit hazy on the origins of the raffle drawing. Cheers! Pony Toy Go Round was a magnificent Anime/Japanese Toy store in LA's Little Tokyo district and it was the place to go in the 8T's for Japanese Toys. There was actually three stores but one was specifically devoted Anime related Japanese toys such as Spiral Zone, Macross, chogokins etc...they had it all stock. I shopped there from 1985 to 1989 and they closed down roughly in 1993 due to the death of the owner. Really a great loss to the Japanese toy collecting community here in L.A. I only wished I had pictures of the Interior and what was in stock. Thanks again, LF Quote
