wmkjr Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) I never tried for an estimate for the detolf but someone bought a desk unit that was $205 and it was $100-ish for the shipping. But these detolf are heavy so it might be more. I will try to get an estimate just for the heck of it. Edited April 20, 2015 by wmkjr

But these detolf are heavy so it might be more. I will try to get an estimate just for the heck of it. Wow, that is pricey. Yes, Detolfs are heavy and very awkard to move the boxes by yourself. I know because I bought 4 and got them into my apartment. If it was easy, I would bring some detolfs back for you when I go back home for vacation.

If it was easy, I would bring some detolfs back for you when I go back home for vacation. Hahaha! Imagine waiting at the carousel in baggage claim. Thanks for the offer! If you did that, I'd buy you a pallet full of Spam, Hawaiian sun, Island princess snacks and whatever else you need from here! Wow! It might actually be more economical to have a similar display case fabricated? I might have to do that. Either way, shipping materials to the glazier/cabinet makers will still be pricey on top of the labor.
Garfinkel Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Wow, by comparison I have it easy. I can visit ikea by car in 30 minutes. Puttung it together on my own was a challenge however.
ChaoticYeti Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Finally got some supers for my VF-1s. I am sure now that I have a Yamato set, Arcadia will reissue. I see now why the pink/white Arcadia bothered people so much. Purchased from MW member, Mechapilot77:

w8kbrder Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 My first high end Macross toy. Picked it up off of a member here. These things are way heavier and intricate than I realized....holy cow! After successfully attempting transformation, I'm just blown away that someone could even create such a complex piece of moving parts to form not one..but three things. Pretty incredible and now I realize why "a toy costs $300+" ....it really is like buying a piece of artwork. Only bummer is it was missing the small curved plate the covers the back of the neck in fighter mode. Super bummed about it. Original owner doesn't recall it ever being in the package. Anyone that has the Arcadia YF-19 that will never see fighter mode want to sell that piece? $20!
ChaoticYeti Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Not to lessen your excitement, but it also looks like you are missing the stabilizers near the cockpit. Nice stand!

If you did that, I'd buy you a pallet full of Spam, Hawaiian sun, Island princess snacks and whatever else you need from here! If you have the Hawaiianair CC, the first checked in luggage is free right? Lol thank you for the offer too, I would do it if it was possible. Let me ask one of my friends in HI, I know he has a couple of display cases. I see where he got his from.
w8kbrder Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Not to lessen your excitement, but it also looks like you are missing the stabilizers near the cockpit. Nice stand! No I have those....just didnt have them in when I took the pic. Edited April 21, 2015 by w8kbrder
ChaoticYeti Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 No I have those....just didnt have them in when I took the pic. Whew. Alrighty. The black piece over the neck in fighter mode isn't much of an issue since the neck is black. It is always nice to be complete, but for most people that piece is a pass anyways.

Maybe I'll just have you 3-D print it for me.

I'd be royally peeved if Arcadia then announces that they're releasing it

no3Ljm Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 There goes the tax refund! 006.jpg That's a lot! Great purchase! It's rather... Oscillating Love that Orguss. You're also going to get an Olson if ever there's one, Renato? I'm just going to call this a good week. My first renewal and the tornado pack is awsum in person, really gives a 25 presence. *snip* Shout out to anubis20 for the ozma, good seller. Nice Alto Valk! Just picked these up locally. All 3 never opened and have been sitting in storage. *snip* Wanna share the rest of his catalogue, Saburo? I am somewhat jealous. Tv max 1A is looking like my next purchase. This weekend i did however get my first detolf, that counts right. Already tweaked it :-P 20150419_183143.jpg Good for you Garfinkel. I still don't have a Detolf. Hehehe.

dapro Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Got this guy in the mail today So you were the guy who got the low vis. haha
spanner Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Great purchase Gakken! Definitely a fine addition to your collection! The low vis version has to be my fav Roy of the bunch!
Gakken85 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Posted April 23, 2015 Well I have one in Robot mode. This one is for fighter mode
spanner Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Got another new toy! ok so it ain't got anything to do with Macross but its still a toy! essentially.. Seeing how I don't really do much for exercise these days and im not into walking or running, I thought I'd rekindle one of my other passions.. Mountain biking! So I picked up a brand new 2015 Merida One Twenty 7.900 27.5 (trail) mountain bike! Picked her up today! Took a few weeks to come in and setup. Not cheap either.. Is a mad thing to ride! Compared to the last semi decent mountain bike I last had a few years ago, this thing just craps all over it! Full of some juicy high spec components! Im sure if there are any of you who share a similar interest then I know you'll understand! Also picked me up a sweet new Bell helmet which has a removable face piece!

I see now why the pink/white Arcadia bothered people so much. Purchased from MW member, Mechapilot77: Don't know how hard it would be to track down, but if you find a TV set of supers (either stand-alone, or one of the Hikaru/Max/Miria VF-1J bundles), they'll have bright white reaction missiles. I actually picked up an early, bad shoulder release Hikaru 1J super bundle mostly for the TV-style packs, and fixed his shoulders with pieces from an unassembled kit.

barurutor Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 +1 to that. much easier to get junk 1J combos for the supers and order replacements off shapeways.
Gakken85 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Posted April 23, 2015 Sweet bike! I have a Cannodale Road bike from 2008 or so that I still ride about every week. It was still American made when I bought it.
Chronocidal Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Actually, just occurred to me... what shade are the reaction missiles that come with the YF-19?

Too bad the blue on it isn't screen accurate.
EnderWiggen Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 I picked the up the VF-0D recently. I really like it. A fair amount more diecast that a bandai 'gokin. I wrote a full review of it here http://kumastyledesigns.com/160-scale-perfect-transformation-vf-0d-phoenix-shin-version/
Ignacio Ocamica Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Actually, just occurred to me... what shade are the reaction missiles that come with the YF-19? White, not off white. I'm at the office right now but I'm 99% sure they're TV white.
