ps99042 Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Ahh...the VF-4. Or in this case, VF-4's. Edited March 12, 2012 by ps99042 Quote
ps99042 Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Finally decided to open up my remaining 1/48 Valks (sold the rest) and turned the dinner table into a makeshift Prometheus... Edited March 12, 2012 by ps99042 Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 VF-4's and a row of 1/48's, such beautiful sights!! Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted March 12, 2012 Author Posted March 12, 2012 Ahh...the VF-4. Or in this case, VF-4's. Just where did you get those VF-4's from and who's the manufacturer? Quote
ps99042 Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Just where did you get those VF-4's from and who's the manufacturer? They're from the Bandai 1/250 scale Macross Fighter Collection. Saw 3 from a seller on eBay and bought one and liked it so much I bought the last 2 from him too. They were pretty marked up but I love the VF-4 so much I just closed my eyes and clicked "send payent". Quote

505thAirborne Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Nice pics GMANIFESS, even more Destroid love!! Quote
GMANIFESS Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 SWEET!!... I don't understand the hatred for the Robotech Destroids. For the size & price i think they look pretty damn awesome. Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Thanks dude!! I agree, they're no where near as poseable as the Yamato toys, however the price is right for the size, details not to shabby, fun to make customs with and you can buy a Phalanx and Spartan!! Quote

I agree, they're no where near as poseable as the Yamato toys, however the price is right for the size, details not to shabby, fun to make customs with and you can buy a Phalanx and Spartan!! Exactly! I found the Defender & Tomahawk at a local shop for under $20 MISB each. Once they got panel-lined & decaled they look great. AND yes... I definately have to get a Phalanx & a Spartan. Got to complete the Destroid set. Atleast Matchbox had the decency to put 4 out of 5 Destroids in the same scale.... (im talking to you Yamato ) Quote

(im talking to you Yamato ) Ain't got nothin to do with decency and everything to do with "...did anyone else buy these things at full price?" I sure as hell didn't! ...however, now that the olive drab Tomahawk is on sale at 38% off, it's lookin more and more enticing! What I'm trying to say is, don't blame Yamato, blame guys like me Edited March 26, 2012 by xrentonx Quote
GMANIFESS Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Someone cleaned out the regular olive drab at HLJ. Never cared for Yamato's factory weathering. Prefer to do it myself if at all. But atleast Yamato took some clues from Hasbro & milked the 2 molds with a few repaints before it was all over. Quote
xrentonx Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Yeah. I would prefer the regular olive drab too. I was never a Defender fan so that's an easy pass. If Destroids were as sexy as Valks, I'm sure more would be made. As it stands, if we're talkin OG Macross, I'll only go for a Tomahawk or Monster. Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) My newest acquisitions!! Max VF-1A goodness!! Edited March 30, 2012 by 505thAirborne Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Definitely 1/60 V.2!! The first two I have ever owned and there will be more to come, I own eight of the 1/48 scale Valks & 10 of the older V.1 1/60's. Every time I was going to get a new 1/60 V.2 my money ended up going else where (Bills, repairs, you know non-fun stuff) but I decided to get these guys and see what the hype was all about, I get it now and they are one very solid very awesome toy. Next purchase Fast packs!! Edited March 31, 2012 by 505thAirborne Quote
DarrinG Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) I don't care for the giant GBP TV 'ham-hands' though! Edited April 2, 2012 by DarrinG Quote
valkfighter Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Hi, my first 3 sets of 1/48 super&strike parts, the stealth ones look great on roy`s valk. finally 3 of my 5 1/48 valks have fast packs. these sets are brand new, I already put the misiles on 2 of them. I will keep one without them. I am really amazed by the size of these accesories, had it already on 1/60 v2 but in this scale is awesome. Quote
505thAirborne Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Nice pics valkfighter, Roy's Valkyrie looks really deadly with those Stealth Fast packs on. I have a few of the 1/60 V.2's and they are impressive, but something about the size & detail of the 1/48's' still makes them my favorite!! Quote
GMANIFESS Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 INDEED. The 1/48's will always rule my collections. So sad that scale isn't supported anymore. Quote
Benson13 Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 I'd love to put a stealth strikepack on my VF-1S. Quote
GMANIFESS Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Yeah Roy's VF-1S looks much better with a darker color Strike package. That off-blue color never looked good on his color scheme. Quote
treatment Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 ehehehe! just got my 1/60 Isamu 11b, and it's really frickin' awesome! Quote
Reïvaj Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 ehehehe! just got my 1/60 Isamu 11b, and it's really frickin' awesome! Congratulations! That's a great toy! Quote
Rabidweezil Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 25$ at a local flea market Best deal ever. Who the f**** sells Valkyries at a flea market?! That's like...blastphamey! Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 25$ at a local flea market Best deal ever. Congrats!!! That's a steal. Quote

DyNo Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Your the luckiest guy on Macross World DyNo!! Was it NIB or Loose? Either way one hell of a deal! It was NIB just sitting on a table with some junk around it. Quote
Rabidweezil Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 It was NIB just sitting on a table with some junk around it. you know some poor bastard is going to come home where his mother or wife says how some sucker paid $25 for the "transformer" she found in the closet. Quote
Benson13 Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 I would seriously get a divorce if that happened. Quote
Kicker773 Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 There was once a member on here who got a divorce but was unable to get his stuff due to a restraining order and he had a ton of customs. The ex wife put all his stuff on eBay. There were a few of use who didn't want to bid, but I know someone did and it was a group of valks including a custom. That was a sad story and remember it clearly. I'm not sure if anyone else remembers that situation. Quote
