dapro Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Its Official, I have just purchased my first toys for macross. Quote
Benson13 Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Congratulations. Now let me introduce our good friend Addiction. Addiction meet Dapro, I think you guys are gonna hit it off great. What did you get? Quote
dapro Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 I got 1/60 Macross VF-1S Roy Focker Movie Ver with Option Parts (30th Anniversary Sticker) and 1/60 Prefect Trance VF-1A Max. They are currently on sale this month. Quote
plutoniumhunter Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Congrats! I bought my first valks a couple of days ago too! Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Be warned! After I joined Macross world in the summer of 2012 I bought a ton of Valkyries =) Quote
plutoniumhunter Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 On sale where? I believe he got his at Angolz. Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Yup, it's just a downward spiral from here on out, but it's a fun ride! Quote
dapro Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 Wow, I went back now to see I can get another 1/60 Macross VF-1S Roy Focker Movie Ver with Option Parts (30th Anniversary Sticker) and it is listed as out of stock. I hope they honor my order this morning. Quote
plutoniumhunter Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Well, you could opt for the Hikaru Ichijyo version. Quote
Loop Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Congrats and welcome to the club. This site will help you bleed money on valks LOL. Since I have been on here, I have compiled a pretty large collection of valks, but nowhere near Kickers level I started collecting later than a lot of the members here. I started around the 1/48 to V2 1/60 era. You will love the VF-1's they are easy to transform and look great. Edited February 17, 2013 by Loop Quote
dapro Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Yea, I am super excited. I may have gotten one of the last one they had in stock. I guess the Roy Fokker Vf-1s is more popular. Edited February 17, 2013 by dapro Quote
Loop Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Roy will always be one of the more popular vf-1's Quote
erock Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 NOOOO! You fool! I haven't bought a toy in like 6 years. I thought "hmmmm, these new Yamatos are really nice, I'll just buy one 1A on sale. What can it hurt? I'm selling my first release collection that was sadly hanging out in storage for years, right? Just one is all I need." Enjoyed the nice addition to my bank account for a bit, now I have a 1/60 11B and 21 on the way, a 171 cf on pre-order, and I'll buy a VF-4 repaint if it gets made, plus who knows what else. THE HUMANITY! Do you want to end up like me? DO YOU?!?!!!!!1!one!!!1! Quote
505thAirborne Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Careful you don't contract "Kicker-itis" after this first VF purchase! Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Same with me. Hmmm a Max tv VF-1A that couldn't hurt. I now have 11 v2's I bought 9 1/48's 1 VF-11b 1 VF-4 3 VF-19's 2 YF-29's 1 VF-171 and 1 VF-25 g renewal in 8 months! Edited February 17, 2013 by Valkyrie Magnus Quote
vt102 Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Congratulations! The addiction has begun! Mine has been going off and on since 1998. Quote
Phalanix Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Wow, I went back now to see I can get another 1/60 Macross VF-1S Roy Focker Movie Ver... See? It's already started... There's no turning back now! Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 I actually quit collecting in 2009 but Macross World made me restart my collection! Quote
nexxstrait Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Its Official, I have just purchased my first toys for macross. Welcome to the club! ... I already feel sorry for your wallet man Quote
dapro Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 I already got the fever! I am looking for the Vf-1 super/strike parts already! haha Quote
mqvu Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Congrats on your first awesome purchase ... I'm quite certain you'll be adding more to that collection before you even know it Quote
plutoniumhunter Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 A dangerously sweet poison, this is. Quote
Lightning Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 before long you'll have 7 of them....one for each different number....don't ask how I know Quote
arrow Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 you've started at a great time. so many variants out there at 1/60 than several years ago. Quote
SaitouSad Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Same for me. I never had the guts to start a Macross collection. Until I bought the 30th anniversary VF-1S (Roy and Hikaru) at the last HLJ sale last year... now my collection is slowly expanding, as I've been desperately trying to get the Frontier Valks, and a YF-19. I settled for a v1 VF-25S with armour pack 2nd hand and a VF-19 (Kai and P), a VF-1A, a Macross Quarter and the 2 Queadluun-Raus (Max and Milia) -- all through sales, but were expensive nonetheless.. It's a very slippery slope.. All of these only since October 2012..... Quote
ff95gj Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Please allow me to repeat my old story here:I thought a VF-1S Focker w/ SSP and a VF-1J w/GBP are all what I needed for the iconic ones.Then I found a Vermillion Squad would be needed as well.For the movie counterpart, a Skull Squad.Who can say no to the Max and Millia VF-1J?You've got a 1S, 1J, 1A, and you want a 1D.What's the 1D counterpart in the movie? The VT-1....I can continue with it, but you get the picture. Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 That's exactly my reasoning too lol Quote
connor99 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Congratulations, dapro ! I hope ya do find some SSP's, 'coz as you already probably know, a VF-1 is an absolute beaut, but with some SSP's on, it is totally bad ass! Quote
KH355hamdi Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 I've got bitten 6 months ago. I lost over $3000 over that period just on Macross stuff alone. Quote
Loop Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) LOL click on my Macross collection link in my sig. I got all of that since I started up in early late '08 early '09. Don't really want to know how much I have spent lol. That list does not include my non macross stuff either... Edited February 19, 2013 by Loop Quote
dapro Posted February 19, 2013 Author Posted February 19, 2013 Now I want to get a glass display case. bleh...I need self control and fast. Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 That's a long list of stuff to get in that period of time. Quote
