Haha, I kinda didn't want it but seeing the recent posts about them made me want one again. Then I forgot to buy one during the last sale and told myself I wouldn't buy it unless I could get the same deal (thinking it wouldn't happen anytime soon). And here I am with one soon to be delivered. Oh well, i love F-14s and don't have time to build them (models) like I used to. Seems really nice. Also got me thinking when I saw that custom VF-1 with the Jolly Roger paint job and AIM-54 missiles on the wings...Did the VF-1s have some sort of swivel tech on the hardpoints to adjust the angle whenever the wings were swept to different angles? It's something I've thought about before but don't know if a definitive answer exists or is it just an artistic license thing?
ZorClone Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 re: boxes... if I opened the toy then I will keep the toy, thus I have found a better home for the accessories like an air tight plastic bin or something. Therefor the box has been tossed in the recycle bin.

I swore I would avoid HMR valkyries. *sigh* I have fallen down the rabbit hole. *bangs head on table repeatedly* baka baka baka baka So... I guess I have a VE-1 Elintseeker, a VF-1J Super Valkyrie (Max), and a VF-1J Super Valkyrie (Miria) coming... eventually. List all your purchases so far, then get the total $$$ spent. Post it next to your computer/workspace. Maybe that will reign you in... That said, I haven't done a total of what I spent on toys and books since latter half of 2016. Usually I had been keeping track of the expenses (with a spreadsheet), but somehow I lost track. Now I'm afraid to get the totals for the other purchases and see the truth of how much I really spent
Focslain Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 So she arrived monday, but didn't have time to pull her out of the container until last night. My first DX, the VF-31C and dang this one is pretty. Thanks to @spacemanoeuvres for taking such care in this. Also I didn't know these were so big, the Armoured version is going to be massive when it comes out.
spacemanoeuvres Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 Awesome! Glad she went to a good home and don’t forget to pickup the super parts! They are still available for preorder at NY, enjoy

Sanity is Optional Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 My VF-31A just showed up! Spoiler Unfortunately my DX Chogokin VF-31A from NY still hasn't shipped.

Kuma Style Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 So back when I was a "rookie" collector and even more of a rookie dog owner, my just-bought puppy ate the Pero (cat) that came with Figma Dorothy Wayneright and I snapped the neck not too long after on my Figma Roger Smith (both Big O characters.) Luckily I got a lot from someone the other day who literally threw them in for free! Awesome pieces and I've been missing them since the days they got effed up. Max Gokin Big O in the BG;

There's a lot of peeps who would love to have one of those! I have wanted a VE-1 ever since I first saw one (a 1/55 scale Takatoku/Bandai version) at a Japanese toy store in Los Angeles back when I was 10 years old. I have fantasized about it ever since! I never liked playing with dolls growing up, but Macross mecha really sang to me. (Okay, I also liked stuffed animals and My Little Ponies when I was young. I'd play house with them with my cousins) Now that I am a grad student, I just could not wait any longer! I needed to fulfill this Macross toy desire of mine I have been harboring for the past 15 years! I am not getting any younger.

Shizuka the Cat Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 My first HMR arrived just now from AmiAmi. I blame you @jenius for this... lauding these HMRs so much, and producing videos that make them look so yummy!

TrickyCustomer Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 I don't understand the fascination with the elintseeker. What am I missing here?

It's a more significant variation of the VF-1 than the A/D/J/S (head is more different, unique supers), has a more "military" color scheme, and has a big radar dish.

borgified Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 @Shizuka the Cat: That is quite a turnover from zero valks to nearly a platoon in a matter of a few weeks all thanks for us in enabling you (and more to follow I hope). Hmm.. Going to get the SDF-1 either the regular format or the Premium edition? As for the marriage part.. I think that our parents want their kids to grow up and start a family of their own so they push us to the limit.

I agree the RVF-25 is the worst of the Frontier paintjobs, but it's still better than a lot of the ones in Delta, and I like radar dishes. [edit] Heck, I bought the Luca -25 before Ozma or Michael.
