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. Aw man, that sucks. I've got a non custom painted one that's in pretty great shape and has brand new never applied re-po stickers I'll be selling once the new/painted one gets here. Quote
derex3592 Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Cool! Might have to keep a lookout for that on the For Sale thread. I always hated how the thing looked in cruiser mode, even as a kid, but in Attacker mode, that's a whole other story! Quote
sh9000 Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Very nice TV SDF-1s being posted. I still have a completely white one that is MIB with unused stickers and another one I use for display. I still wish Bandai could get to reissuing it. Quote

Yeah with detailed improvements like they did with 1/48 VF-1 Quote

At $400 shipped w/ no PP fees I think that was a pretty good deal. Non customs in decent shape go for $200-250. Another $125-150 for custom paint is nothing. Quote

I think I know which one you're referring to. On eBay right? Quote

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! That sucks! Maybe you'll get another some time. 5 hours ago, derex3592 said: I now have a new found hatred for you @sqidd. GREAT addition!!!

Yeah, It looks amazing! @sqidd thanks for sharing! I may detail / weather mine one day. That Macross is great looking! Quote
jeniusornome Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 I’ve been keeping an eye out for a good deal on an Arcadia / Yamato one. I liked the one I had a lot but if I’m going to spend a bunch of money getting an sdf-1 I’d rather it be the newer one than one I’ve already owned. Quote

jeniusornome Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 /shrug. TV, movie, makes no difference to me. Anyway, outside of the original show, all further appearances of the SDF-1 are based on the DYRL version with the ARMD platforms attached. Quote

In effect your post just said to me "What matters to you is irrelevant so my argument holds weight". If you expect me to appreciate that you don't care, you need to appreciate that I do. Quote

Either way it would be nice to have an updated TV SDF-1. We will probably never see it unless some line of the Robotech / Harmony Gold side of things creates it. I know kitzconcept teased one a year or two ago. Colors were kinda off on it tho. Edited March 11, 2020 by Rogueload Quote

vlenhoff Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) Agreed, why not both!!! but... I can only justify one for now, so the TV it is. i just like the TV version so much better. I think the arms being an improvisation, gives it so much character. Oh we lost the ARMD, so lets put an aircraft carrier in there, lol. It gives it so much character, and it has a story to tell. It would have been so cool if they kept the TV Macross alive in all subsequent series, but that's just IMHO. It would feel like home, every time. Edited March 11, 2020 by vlenhoff Quote
jeniusornome Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Sqidd, you and I are on opposite sides of the collecting spectrum. I’m not even making an “argument” that needs to “hold weight” - I’m just expressing my opinion (“I don’t want to buy a figure I’ve already owned”) and you seem to think it’s not okay for some reason. I don’t know why you’ve decided to poke at me, but to answer your meme, it’s because I don’t have space, don’t want to add more display space, and can’t generally afford too many anyways. whereas from what I’ve seen of your collection, you buy 3-4 copies of everything and add more display cases when you run out of room. So no, I don’t expect you to appreciate my opinion. I don’t think you can even understand it. Quote
LORDRANCID77 Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 I used to go to the store and stare at that beautiful brick! Quote

LORDRANCID77 Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Is that the DX valk? I’m old school and I’m not up to date. Quote

sh9000 Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Saw this pic on a Macross FB group. I’ll try the setup with a HMR. Quote
