Valkyrie23 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Now we're counting other stuff?! Crap... I also have everything in a spreadsheet and I've been and will continue to sell off things to help mitigate the cost. My collecting priority is Macross, so if I have to get rid of non macross stuff then SO BE IT! Except of course a few pieces close to the heart (MP Optimus, various comic figures, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaitouSad Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Bought these just before the whole Yamato / Arcadia thing happened -mostly late last yearVF-1S Hi-metalVF-1S 30th Anniversary (Roy and Hikaru)2 x Strike/Super PacksVF-19Kai with Sound BoosterQuad Rau x 2 (Max and Millia)VF-1A CFVF-19PMore recently as a panic buyYF-19 1/60 v1 (2nd hand)Fold/Booster Pack (2nd hand)VF-1J with Fast Pack bundle (pending as the site may be a dud)VF-11BProbably nothing much in Yamato's catalog I really want. I wouldn't mind a YF-19 renewed package (preferably with Fold /boost pack) if I could get oneWould still want a VB-6 and VF-25S/F (but those are Bandai) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) I am strictly keeping it to Yamato Macross buys that were because of the news. I don't think it is necessary to list all my other toys I have bought since Jan. From Jan 2012 to now, I have spent the most ever on collectibles and the list is huge lol. I am actually wondering if I went overboard with my panic buy list, I guess I could let some of them go If I decide that was the case. I already have at least one of each thing on my list of panic buys in my collection already. Edited March 22, 2013 by Loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMax Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Basically right now, my hand is forced to get some of the "optional" items I was debating whether to get: Got: 1/60 VF-17 Super parts 1/60 weathered olive green Tomahawk 1/60 weathered khaki Defender Still debating: - 2nd 1/60 VF-17S + accompanying super packs (Since I cannot complete Diamond Force with the 17D cheaply, i'll use the 17Ss as the followers instead of the leader) - 2nd 1/60 VF-19s (Since I cannot complete Diamond Force with the 19F cheaply, i'll use the 19Ss as the followers instead of the leader) - 1/60 unassembled VF-1D - mainly for the unique option part: the vertical 2 seater Edited March 22, 2013 by BlueMax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I suppose that my last purchases (one VF-17S and one VF-19S) could be considered panic buys, or maybe impulsive ones; however, I prefer to refer to them as belated aquisitions that happened to coincide with all the bad news regarding Yamato and welcomed discounts from HKC. Aside from the one time expense for a VF-4G upon its release, this has been the most I've ever spent on a single month on Macross related collectibles, or any collectibles for that matter. After these two birds, the only Yamato VFs I still need to call my collection complete are a 1/60 VF-1A 2.0 CF TV ver. and a VF-22S Max; if I were to come across a VF-19F and/or P and a VF-17D for roughly the same price as the deals I got on the two I bought from HKC I'd get them too.

Valkyrie Magnus Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I spent so much that I don't want to know how much I spent. But I have no regrets except I have run out of shelf space and run out of space for new shelves. I do collect other toys too but they are on hold for Macross stuff.

SaitouSad Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 So to all the folks making panic purchases here... how are you gonna store all them HUGE ASS Yamato boxes, when you already have limited display space for the Valks themselves?

Valkyrie23 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) I have no more room at my apartment. 'm also trying to force myself to open up more of my toys and get rid ofthe boxes. I do it for a select few keeper/sacrificial "play" valkyries, but I want to extend it. Just have to convince myself that I'm not gonna sell them anyways - at least I don't want to - ever. Other than that, hello parents' garage! Also, I will probably start getting rid of my other, non-Macross collectibles and electronics. If I want a complete lineup of anything, it would be Macross!

I recommend what Kicker does. He pulls out the trays and stacks them. Collapses the cardboardboxes and it saves a ton of room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dapro Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Nothing so far. I keep getting out bid on ebay and were too late on the sale threads! I did get autographed mini helmets by Joe Montana and Jerry Rice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I don't know if it counts but I was going to wait for the 17D and 19P to go on sale... but then I snatched them up as soon as someone mentioned the 19P was 'low stock' at HLJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edi Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hey Edi - where did you get the DYRL Super/Strike Parts? I got them on both on eBay, one was a set with the VF-1S TV 30th, and the other with the VF-1A DYRL. I was kind of surprised to see them at a relatively good price, as the parts alone have sure gone up in the past week or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ff95gj Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Wise. I doubt if the 19P will ever get re-issued, Yamato's closure or not. I don't know if it counts but I was going to wait for the 17D and 19P to go on sale... but then I snatched them up as soon as someone mentioned the 19P was 'low stock' at HLJ.

arrow Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 My last purchases were the VF-19S & VF-17S right at the time the news came out. I will be moving to a new home early next month & was thinking of selling some 1/48's. After this news, I'm keeping them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
