[Horatio Positronic]

Is it just me or is volume 3 selling out faster than the first two? HLJ and Hobby Search sold out fast and I haven't seen many boxes up on Ebay.

Fortunately HLJ restocked so I was able to order a second box this morning.

[jolly-roger]

1 fold booster vf-25f

1 fold booster vf-27

[nanoplasm]

VF-4 might be secret, but it's practically in every box! >=(

[jolly-roger]

lol agreed, i think a hard to get is the armored alto or ozma

[Graham]

I would imagine there is a good chance we will see those in series #4.

I can't imagine there won't be a series #4 as there are loads of VFs still to do.

here s asmall preview of my little collection, also i ve detailed lined them and repainted the yf-19 and the vf2ss as well

[Horatio Positronic]

Got my second box today. I'm starting to think the Deculture versions and VF-4 aren't the rarest ones. I now have all six special valks from set 3, yet I haven't seen VF-25F fold, full armor or tornado.

[Save]

I only hope series #4 has the Vf-2ss with SAP.

[505thAirborne]

I only hope series #4 has the Vf-2ss with SAP.

lol now trick question do you have any spare alto armored and ozma super pack XD

[protostar8]

Wow, even though I like these things a lot, I'm glad I didn't buy any to start collecting them after seeing the cost of these tiny things.

They are the most swoosh-able Macross toys available.

Is the VF-25 really in scale (1/250)? It seems to be a lot larger than the VF-0D.

[Bariaburu Faita]

It depends on which one. The Sheryl Deculture is a secret and very rare, the Ranka, Cathy, Klanklan, and Nanase Deculture are common. The VF-4 is a secret but only uncommon.

[David Hingtgen]

For things of this size/scale, you can really assume it's more like "1/220 through 1/280, depending on how careful they were". When they're scaled down this much, even the largest and smallest versions are mere mm apart--and so if one is 1mm too long and another is 2mm too short, it's all screwed up.

Also, I assume these are all really "fit the box scale", to some degree.

I've got two Sheryl Deculture already just by opening boxes. I don't think it's THAT rare.

They did a pretty good job overall. The thing they really nailed is the proportions of the individual Valkyries. None of them have wings that are too stubby or feet that are too big or any problems like that.

[Bariaburu Faita]

grats! IMHO very lucky. are you looking to trade it for some combination of other ones?

To be fair, it is a lot easier to do that when you only have to worry about one mode.

[David Hingtgen]

Don't have to worry about having room for landing gear either.

[Horatio Positronic]

For Macross Fighter Collection 4 Bandai's top priority should be to include the VF-1 with Atmospheric Escape Booster. Right?

[jolly-roger]

the scale are pretty much on par qith each other except for vf-1 which are tiny little bits next to vf-25,

I still have some boxes to open. Anything left over from sets will be available for trade

i call shotgun on ozma super pack and alto armored

and possibly alto super pack as well

[Rabidweezil]

ugh...talk about bad luck. I got 4 boxes of series 3 and STILL do not have a complete set.

I'm missing:

RVF-25 Super Luka

VF-25F Full Armor Alto

VF-25F Super Fold Alto

Still missing the YF-21 from series 2 also

Got a lot of doubles and triples of others from series 3 and a few from 2 if anyone wants to trade for these!

EDIT: added some clarity

[Valkyrie23]

Hey Rabidweezil - I just went through my 3rd box of Series 3 yesterday, and I'm pretty sure I have a spare RVF-25 to trade with you.

I'll PM you with details

Would you like to post some extra stuffs on Trades and Sales thread?

I might be interested to buy.

I plan on posting in sales and trades. But I'd really like to only to trade until I get full sets. After that I'll gladly sell what I have left over.

[Rabidweezil]

Put up what I needed and had in the trade section. And I borrowed your list Horatio. Hope you don't mind. I appreciate you putting it together

No objection to you using my list, that's what I put it up for.

It's just a shame I don't have anything you need and you don't have anything I need.

[physioguy]

I'm getting a few boxes of series 3 within a few days, and I'm not trying to complete the set (I just want 4 from the 3rd set), so I'll have plenty to trade. I'll post my trade list then.

Unfortunately, I'm looking for 6 fro series 2 (0S, 25S, RVF, 1S, 19 and 21)

I'll post soon!

Just though I'd attach a pic to show ho a little panel lining makes such a big difference...
