SilentCrossHairs Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Let me clarify. What Macross item or items do you own that is so special that you are never going to sell? Let me start with a list below. I choose these items because to me these are classic Macross designs. When I close my eyes and hear the word MAcross these are the items I will see. Yamato VF-1 Low Vis 1st edition Yamato Konig MOnster 1st edition Yamato YF-19 Yamato VE-1 Elintseeker 1st edition Bandai Ozma Armored Messiah Bandai HiMetal Blazer VF-19 Quote
em.gg Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 does it have to be a toy? I would have to say my Macross Design Works book with an original sketch by Kawamori inside, my original colored Macross F sketches by series animator/illustrator Mamoru Yokota, Macross F poster signed by Mayn and Nakajima and other signed memorabilia I have... Quote
nukatsuka Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 I would choose my gold book with a Mikimoto sketch or my custom chunky vf-1d. Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) My 1984 Bandai Hikaru Ichijo 1/55 scale VF-1S Strike Valkyrie, plus my Flashback 2012 & Macross Gold books. Purchased both back in 1994, their apart of my youth and could never part with them. Edited March 9, 2011 by 505thAirborne Quote
jenius Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Probably my Takatoku SDF-1 with the little jets still on the sprue and all that goodness. Quote

It can be other macross items. I just collect toys though. Quote
Jasonc Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 My Yamato VMF Minmay and the Chinese dress. The doll may not be necessarily one of a kind, but the dress is. I guess if it was a choice between being homeless and hungry, there's no question there, but it's one of the prized Macross possessions. Of course, then there's the 1/1 helmets, and the Gold Book.

Vifam7 Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 No toys. Though I do have various autographed Macross items like books, CDs, and T-shirts that I'd never sell. Quote
Mog Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 My customs: Considering the amount of time, thought, and effort that went into both of these, I don't think I could ever bring my self to sell either of them. Quote
ae_productions Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 SV-51 Ivanov Ha ha! I knew you were going to pick that one. I remember how hard you searched looking to get your hands on one of these! Glad you finally found one! It is a magnificent piece of Mecha! The fighter and battroid are very intimidating! Quote
JET7 Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) does an orguss takatoy count? if not.. my hasegawa 1/72 strike vf-1a,1s.. - sweat - time spent - masking tapes - sanding - the zen of superglue - that i myself built ... priceless Edited March 3, 2011 by JET7 Quote
ff95gj Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 My 1/48 Weathered Focker 1S + Weathered SSP; and 1/60 Hikaru 1S SSP... The 1/48 TV Max 1A and Kakizaki 1A... And I am fond of the white TV Focker 1S too. How long we have been waiting for a proper TV 1S? With Focker? Once the circle of Destroid is completed (ALL FOUR OF THEM), they would be my prized possession too. But with only 2 now, their value is not as high. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Sell?? none. collect, protect, never neglect. All my stuff i collect is a piece of me (my fandom) i guess, coolness that is immortalised in plastic. Well, if i had to run into the house ablaze with fire an only can manage to grab ONE valk, it would be "1" of my YF-21's 1/60 LOL ^^^ good times me and the 21' twins have shared. rofl. If that one melted i guess it would be my VF-11A..... i'd also have to grab my gold book! Ohh and this, i'd have a million screaming macross fan suddenly all cry out at once if i left this one in the burning house - Edited March 3, 2011 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
Frogze Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 I'd pick my 1/60 YF-21 as well but it'd be a tie with the VF-1D. Quote
Arthurius Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 me, for sure yf-21 as if only left with 1 valk, this would be it, and the person who sold it to me made it a darker blue that looks simply amazing, ie NOT for sale.... unless it was to save a life or something Then, it would be my yf-19 bird of prey scheme, as well as my 1/48th vf-1s Roy with fps, again NOT for sale. on a seperate note, the only other toys, none macross, that i would simply not sale are the MP Optimus Prime and MP Grimlock, as well as my painted custom MP Gundams. Final Notes: - if i had Mug's yf-21, which i always complemented as the best scheme on the planet, then that would be THE one - haha to UN Spacy's link, good one Quote
charger69 Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 1/60 Yamato SV-51 Ivanov was my first ever Macross item, and I can't explain how amazed I was when I handled it for the first time! The most iconic is 1/60 VF-1D though Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 This is bit of a tough question to answer, but here goes: 1/55 VE-1 ElintSeeker - Bandai 1/55 VT-1 Super Ostrich - Bandai 1/55 Super Valkyrie - Takatoku 1/55 GBP-!S - Takatoku While on the non-Macross (mecha related) items, I would say: 1/40 Olsen Orguroid - Takatoku 1/35 Bilbine - Takatoku Quote
Froy Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Holy!, how and where did you get that? And for me my Yamato V.1. VF-1S Roy Focker. My very first Macross toy/item. Edited March 3, 2011 by Froy Quote

widowmaker Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 My Takatoku 1/55 VS-1S with fast pack set. It has been with me for nearly 30 years. I still remember my dad bought it for me from a toy shop at HKD 135, which is less than USD 20, at that time. HKD 135 was a big money for a 7 year old kid, I could never forget the price tag of this super valkyrie. Quote
Old Man Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Here's my most prized Macross item... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=33790&st=0&p=870875&fromsearch=1entry870875 ...that is, until I get my Kurt Custom Moon Act finished, then I'd have to pick both . Quote
Arthurius Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 has anybody noticed that the yamato sdf-1 was not picked??? Guess it wasnt the holy grail afterall, haha!!! Quote
valhary Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I love my sdf but the problem was that I see first the 1/2000 and that make lose points add the highest price anyway my priceless is the vf 1s max version until yamato released the vf2ss Quote
hkj711 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 1/55 VF-1S Strike Valkyrie(my second macross toy when I was a kid) 1/100 VF-1S (my first macross toy when I was a kid) 1/1 Roy Focker Helmet Quote
charger69 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 has anybody noticed that the yamato sdf-1 was not picked??? Guess it wasnt the holy grail afterall, haha!!! Title says "priceless" not pricy Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Hahaha nice one, I think a tv sdf-1 would be the true holy grail, that and shoji-san youth formula. Quote
SilentCrossHairs Posted March 4, 2011 Author Posted March 4, 2011 Title says "priceless" not pricy Exactly.......... Quote
MyClone Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Two I could never part with: the Matsushiro Jetfire my parents bought me when I was young, and my Joke Machine VF-1S (Robotech release), which was the first Macross Valk I bought for myself (also way back). Best, MyClone Quote
