stillAkid Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 I would yamato toy first. Yamato is gone. Bandai will always be there Quote
Scyla Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Well the Bandai products where already payed before Yamato went belly up. And MP-11B was released this month. expensive expensive. Quote
D_Unit Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 i just came back from Fan Expo and got a 1/100 VF-2SS for $20 & a 1/65 VF-17S for $50. paid $30 to get in and didn't want to leave empty handed so i guess that qualifies as panic. the gentleman at the booth told me he could still import over some Yamatos if i wanted so i'll be emailing him soon (dude's prices seem reasonable).

usagiz Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Feeling good after getting my third VB-6, a TV CF VF-1A, as well as another fold booster and camo ghost booster. I'm feeling that my Yammie collection is good enough. No rush Arcadia, slower releases eases the wallet strain! Quote

Kanedas Bike Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 It's a haul so awesome it can only be shown upside down. jk/jk -b. Quote

m0n5t3r Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Hey all, here's my score from last week, and came in the mail today. have a weathering special kaki from hlj stored in private warehouse:) Congrats... Awesome haul. Love those old flip-top boxes... love the VT-1. Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I gotta stop looking! I said I was done a few pages back and I still have valks coming in. This very addicting. Quote
Loop Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I gotta stop looking! I said I was done a few pages back and I still have valks coming in. This very addicting. LOL, I would too If I did not have em all for the most part. I am missing the of the non cannon scheme YF-19's. I also skipped the weathering releases. I think I am OK with that though. Quote

I'm feeling that my Yammie collection is good enough. No rush Arcadia, slower releases eases the wallet strain! a 3rd VB-6 ?! I swear.. those are so difficult to obtain (unless I pay the close to 300 bucks for them) Quote
Lolicon Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 a 3rd VB-6 ?! I swear.. those are so difficult to obtain (unless I pay the close to 300 bucks for them) They were pretty easy to get when they came out. I don't think anyone was in any rush to buy any Bandai Macross products at the time, though, especially coming on the heels of the awful V1 VF-25 line. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Congrats... Awesome haul. Love those old flip-top boxes... love the VT-1. thanks I gotta stop looking! I said I was done a few pages back and I still have valks coming in. This very addicting. yeah, i think reading m0n5t3r and your post, made me feel like getting the kaki weathing special from hlj was worth it Quote

I don't think anyone was in any rush to buy any Bandai Macross products at the time, though, especially coming on the heels of the awful V1 VF-25 line. I pretty much missed the boat on that one, because I came in late to the game. All the new renewals (VF-25G and RVF), and reissues are what's helping me get my collection. I'm not sure if they will ever reissue the VB-6, and I've been scouring around for one that's not ridiculously overpriced. Lost a recent auction too because my proxy's bid got cancelled by the seller Quote

Lol I think I have to check in at Valkyries Anonymous =P thanks yeah, i think reading m0n5t3r and your post, made me feel like getting the kaki weathing special from hlj was worth it I was on the fence about getting it too. But it was one Valkyrie I didn't have that was not too expensive. I am glad I did get it. Quote

But it was one Valkyrie I didn't have that was not too expensive. I am glad I did get it. did you store it in a private warehouse or get yours shipped? i'm curious what it looks like in person, i'm waiting to ship it with some hopeful pre-orders.

Valkyrie Magnus Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I couldn't wait so I shipped it right away Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 oh man it looks just as good as the max next to it. All you need is some water and miria shooting down kaki and you can recreate the scene from the movie. Quote
Duymon Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Saw a YF-19 from a private collector on Amazon for 205.99 shipped. Took one look at the pics he sent me and snapped it up instantly Never thought my 1/60 YF-21 would have its archrival in the display case Quote

Took one look at the pics he sent me and snapped it up instantly Never thought my 1/60 YF-21 would have its archrival in the display case first thing you should do is loosen the screw by the right metal hip bar... or this might happen to your YF-19 - http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=35649&p=1038990 Quote
Loop Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 a 3rd VB-6 ?! I swear.. those are so difficult to obtain (unless I pay the close to 300 bucks for them) I scrounged the SP version up at MSRP with the help of a friend, still waiting for it to arrive. I skipped the VB-6 a couple years back, but felt like I had to have it. Ebay prices were too high imho. Quote
Shaorin Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 it continues to amaze me; how beautifully engineered the Yammie 1/60 VF-19k/S/F/P is. one transformation after another, it just falls into place and locks together so precisely... withoutquestion, the 19S is my personal favorite MACROSS toy of all time, andis likely to remain so for the foreseeable future...

Valkyrie Magnus Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 oh man it looks just as good as the max next to it. All you need is some water and miria shooting down kaki and you can recreate the scene from the movie. Lol that would be a cool diorama. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 i missed the punchline, is the photos shots messed up Not really messed up, but they show up upside down for me. Doesn't diminish your purchases though so it's all good. -b. Quote
usagiz Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Awesome purchases! My iPhone does the same thing with photos, nothing worse than posting a pic only to realize that your camera is evil! And my VB-6 monsters are all Yammies, they are going for half of what the bandai ones sell for... And all to make my own Daetelus attack scene! Now I realize I need more tomahawks! (null) Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) that's so weird, as on my pc its showing the rightside up??? yeah i did take pics from my iphone... now i feel weird posting pics as i'm seeing something different from everyone else. usagiz, or anyone who has an iphone, can you pm me how to post pics correctly? (as i pasted the links from photo-bucket and still don't see the pics upside down currently so i'm blind to the upside down issue) Edited April 23, 2013 by davidwhangchoi Quote

xrentonx Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Those pics all look right to me from my Droid Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Those pics all look right to me from my Droid Thanks, Here's what came in the mail today, my last bunch of yamato's i ordered, aside from frontier pre-orders Quote
skullmilitia Posted April 24, 2013 Author Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Just snagged Brand new 1/48 Max and Miriya Super's for 400$ shipped from Japan, hopefully it's not an error, and I actually get them the price includes EMS shipping too. Crossing my fingers. I've been wanting these since discovering Yamato 6 years ago. Finally with-in reach, please, hopefully. the yen to USD rate helped a lot, saved me about 80$. Now just need to find me a low Viz in 1/48 and I can rest until something new is announced. Edited April 24, 2013 by skullmilitia Quote
vt102 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks, Here's what came in the mail today, my last bunch of yamato's i ordered, aside from frontier pre-orders Where did you find that 30th Hikaru J???? My friend has been looking high and low for that version. Quote
