505thAirborne Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Awesome collection @LORDRANCID77. The Old Yamato 1/48 may not be as poseable as the new DX Valk but still looks damn good IMO. I definitely like this pic cause I own all 3 as well. Quote

Expand SEX Most of Macross' historical Valkyrie progression in just one formation. What else could you possibly want. This is why Macross valks are so much fun. 3 modes, several armors and set ups. It never gets old to me. Great pictures everyone. Interesting sideways display there Lordrancid. Also, Saburo's and Kuma-style's photo work, should be in magazines. Quote

vlenhoff Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Well, not sure if it is the matchbox, but it says Bandai underneath. I bought it at a collectible store out of the box like 17 years ago. This poor thing has been with me for nearly two decades now. and to go back on topic, a dark mood pic of some of my HMR Quote

So yeah that is a Matchbox by way of Bandai SDF-1. I Still have mine for three decades. Quote

(this may sound cheesy, but that Bandai logo always made me happy, when i spotted it in a toy, back then)(Like Jetfire, etc.) You are lucky! I had to grow old, grow a beard, and then i was able to find one at a reasonable-ish price. It's radar array is hanging on one side, partly broken, but it reminds me of that episode when they go dark. I was going to fix it, but I never got to it. This is how i got it back then, and i am just grateful I have it at all. I know this is a pretty simple toy, but it has the spirit of the Macross, and that's enough for me. Every once in a while i think about weathering it, but i have not made my mind up yet. Edited March 10, 2020 by vlenhoff Quote

jeniusornome Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Man. I miss mine. Had one since I was little. It got some breaks and scratches over the years, two of the cannons on the shoulders broke off, the main cannons snapped and were repaired more times than I can count. around ten years ago we had an earthquake. Smallish and very uncommon for where I live. But itwas close enough for things to shake a bit. When I got home from work that day figures that had been perched on the top of shelves were on the floor in pieces, including the sdf-1. So I appreciate seeing some in such good condition! Quote
derex3592 Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 I now have a new found hatred for you @sqidd. GREAT addition!!! I had mine since childhood but sadly about a year ago both his arms snapped off moving him out of my display case. Plastic had just gotten to brittle over time. Quote
