That's cool. 1/64 die cast cars are good enough along with 1/60 Valkyries. Even though I have multiples of 1/64 KITT and KARR I still bought this because it's Knight Rider. 7 hours ago, Slave IV said: Ah, makes sense. Good deal in that case! I have not seen the new X-Men wave at retail yet. I really want Shatterstar! Saw them in person last night at a specialty shop but not paying the markup. Meanwhile, I think I might have secured an HMR Dougram for myself, finally. Yeah I'm still deciding where I want to get the X-Men figures for the cheapest. I saw 3.75" Moon Knight in person today and it didn't look that good. Got the HMR Dougram ordered at HLJ. I'll have it shipped with a few Macross books and whatever else ends up in the PW. It probably won't last in time to ship with the DX SV-262 and 8 Mechanical Chain Bases. For non-Macross HMR, I might just get a few here and there. Edited March 3, 2017 by sh9000

I'm sure most that X-Men wave will be on ~$10 clearance like the previous one so I'm not in a rush. By the time I decided I wanted Dougram, it was sold out at all the good preorder prices. Hopefully the one I just ordered will come through. I just ordered Xabungle too. I'm not missing any more HMR releases.

HardlyNever Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 About a year late on this one, still excited nonetheless. My first (and probably last) non-SDF Macross purchase (it kinda counts as sdf right ): Got the display stand as part of the purchase. It's a lot sturdier than I expected.

thetrollphysicist Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) I'm really happy to be able to win this thing on a Yahoo Auction last week, and to be honest, i was kinda surprised when they said im the highest bidder and actually win this YF-21 to complete my Macross Plus collection Edited March 5, 2017 by thetrollphysicist
505thAirborne Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Congrats on the YF-21, hope you got it for a good price!! That is another Valk that I would love to have in my collection.

Hope Arcadia gets around to the yf-21 soon. About 34,000 yen, and to be quite honest, i dont really want an Arcadia YF-21,cuz i know Bandai is gonna release something similar in their DX Chogokin line sooner or later 8 hours ago, Lolicon said: Nice score! But does that mean you won't buy a future Arcadia YF-21? No i won't, because i will save my money for that special Bandai DX Chogokin VF-22 Sturmvogel II with NUNS markings in the future Edited March 6, 2017 by thetrollphysicist
Xigfrid Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Arcadia has just announced the SV-51 as the new mold, so it is pretty safe to think that the YF-21 will not be on sale before at least 2 years from now.

That's true even if I really wanted to see a new YF-21 mold by Arcadia. Even if I want Bandai to have their own DX YF-21 or that VF-22 shown at Delta, I still wish more for an Arcadia one.

Lolicon Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 I am a consumer whore so I will buy the Arcadia YF-21 and Bandai VF-22 if they ever released them.

Have to hold off on a yf-21 for now since there's so much coming out in the next couple months.

So it did command that price nowadays. Can't imagine that it was just like 2.5 years ago when I purchased my two 21's over eBay for a total of that amount. Arcadia should really make an updated YF-21 soon. I wouldn't mind to get two of those again.
Zx31 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Finally got my most recent four Valk purchases on a shelf.

What do you think of the TT GC Machine Nest bases (http://www.gundammodelcenter.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=16)? $80 shipped, for the equivalent of 5 MSG renewal chain bases.

I have visions of a massive base in which to woosh my valks around hahaha I almost bought the Machine Nests a few times over the past couple days but it's my understanding that the Knock Off versions are made from old molds and inferior/thinner plastic, causing fitment issues which also makes them tough to use with the official Kotobukiya versions. Overall I think the 25% markup on the MSG versions will make for a nicer display. We'll see. Maybe I'll buy a machine nest set anyway...for research purposes hehehe
connor99 Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 My latest haul! Thanks to ultraman zoffy for the hook up.
