iguanaman8989 Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Today's HLJ shipment. Couldn't say no to the discount on Mirage, and I'm loving the Kyuranger mecha so far. I've got the second cockpit set en route from CS Toys, it didn't really seem like HLJ got many to begin with, the listing went to discontinued right after release.
anubis20 Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 Got the 1J Bundle in a trade and the Low Vis from @davidwhangchoi took a lot of convincing to get him to sell me a copy with this i now have a complete DYRL VF-1 collection.

Hikaru's VF-1J with supers looks great and Roy's low vis 1S is probably the best 1S in my opinion and a must have in any collection!

I've paid a lot for my VF-1S Low Viz to complete my VF-1 v.2 1/60 Yamato Collection but in my opinion worth every penny! Congrats!
spacemanoeuvres Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) Nice vf-1, now you just need the low viz Armor parts Tried to pick these up today but too rich for my blood Edited May 12, 2017 by spacemanoeuvres
Valkyrie2008 Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 It's nice to see everyone pile of loot, here's my share. It's been a while since I bought anything. I should sell some of my old stuff instead of just collecting.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) Nice hauls everybody!!!! The Low Viz is my favorite VF-1S Edited May 13, 2017 by Ignacio Ocamica
ArchieNov Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 I had the opportunity to get a low-viz VF-1S back in the day for retail price and I passed on it. It didn't look nice to me. IMO, the paint scheme made it look like it was a bad photo of a VF-1S taken at night. Years later and knowing the value it goes for now, I still do not regret passing on it one bit. I still find it ugly. But hey that's just me. All the best to those who really like that paint scheme.
spanner Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) my last lot of recent (non Macross) purchases have been of the scale model car variety.. Firstly was a Fronti-Art 1:18 Koenigsegg Regera, the fully opening version! This was BIG bucks ($790 USD) but seeing how I love the real car I had to have this model! It is stunning! Next was a Kyosho 1:18 e93 BMW M3 cabriolet. This has a wonderfully accurate functional folding hard top roof just like the real car. Got this for a bargain locally. Ungraded the brake calipers to the big brakes from a e92 coupe.. looks heaps better! Then I found a AUTOart 1:18 Aston Martin Vantage V12. Another gem of a model. Very nicely detailed. And lastly (found it today actually) is a AUTOart 1:18 Nissan S30 Fairlady Coupe - Wangan Midnight - The Devil Z.. watched the anime which was only quite average but I fell in love with the car and found one in Japan for quite cheap! Macross has definitely taken a back seat for a little while.. Edited May 13, 2017 by spanner

spanner Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Thanks! Kinda but not from one of my other cars.. I bought the replacement brake calipers from ebay.
neko878 Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Got some Junkions in the other day and had a little fun with them.

I just setup a 2 x 4 section and they are AWESOME!!! I originally ordered 10 and after setting up a corner section I immediately ordered 11 more lol Once you get started with these you will want to build a 1/1 base with them hahaha
spanner Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 another non Macross purchase.. found this AUTOart Lambo Police car cheap on YJA! There was 6 hours to go with no bids yet so I placed a bid and hoped for the best. Woke up this morning to an email notification saying I won the action! cheer'n! And for less than half the price of the cheapest one I could find on ebay!
derex3592 Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 me thinks Spanner has an AutoArt obsession going on right now..... Not that there's anything wrong with that!
derex3592 Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 i have the sliver version of that Aston Martin, quite simply the best looking coupe IN THE WORLD! imho....

Lorh Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 My loot this week.... Only took 20 years to be able afford Macross toys... :). Still waiting on my VF-31F though...

And sadly there are also many are now double or more their original release price.. some which I had previously but sold off and now want back again.. 53 minutes ago, no3Ljm said: Congrats Spanner!
