Saviant Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 I finally got myself the only Valkyrie I had wanted from when I started collecting, An Arcadia VF-0A, listed for 35000 Yen from Mandadrake, used and opened. I received it this morning and it was brand new, still sealed. Of coarse I transformed this bad boy straight away to see if any of the legs come off, and I am proud to say both legs are perfect and no pin in the cockpit area sticking out, still removed the canopy as a precaution.
seti88 Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 still one of my fav valks, in spite of having to do some repair work on it! Love the color scheme... not that often seen in macross valkdom..
Saviant Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 I just loved its look in all modes, but yes the colour is a big part of it as well and I have always liked the vf-1a style head, so it just ticks all my boxes
Slave IV Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Nice! I’m still waiting for a fixed PF version of the 0A.

sqidd Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Another classic! Which I quote all the time. Very loud! Most people don't get the reference. I don't care. The funny looks are worth it.

I think between Aliens and RoboCop you have a majority of the great lines and classic scenes. Aliens may be the most quotable movie ever! "Why don't you put here in charge!"

Then you have some classic comedies from that era...Ghostbusters, Better Off Dead, Caddyshack... BTW, I do that “I like it” all the time too. Only thing is I’m pretty sure everyone knows exactly what I’m talking about based on the giggles they get from it.

Slave IV Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Stick around I’ll be back Ok, I’m done but could go on forever, lol. But I really meant I need help. I broke down for that Deluxe Mando but I don’t even collect Hot Toys. It’s a scary slope to head down but I had to have it. It will go with my Hot Toys Deluxe Boba Fett too well.

sh9000 Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Speaking of Robocop, I ordered the Hiya Toys 1/18 ED-209 along with the different versions of Robocop from Robocop and Robocop 2. You have 20 seconds to comply. Nice Carbonized Mandalorian @Slave IV. I settled for the regular release and I’m waiting for a Black Series Mandalorian in Beskar armor. Hot Wheels. DST The Black Hole V.I.N.CENT and B.O.B. Maximilian is coming in separately.

I feel like someone will eventually make higher quality ones, preferably diecast with lots of gimmicks.

Man, I LOVED Max when I was a kid. I think I've seen The Black Hole almost as much as Star Wars. Had to get this guy. I would rather have something that cost more money (even a lot more money) and get a higher end toy. But this works. It was only something like $30. Can't complain about that.

Valkyrie Driver Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Here’s a full shot of what I’ve acquired in the last month:
HardlyNever Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 With Macross releases slowing to a trickle lately, I've decided to follow one of my other nostalgic/guilty pleasures: Gundam Wing
Aaadriiann Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Bandai Robot Spirits Evangelion Unit 03! I had this a few years ago and regretted selling it so I'm glad to have this in the collection once again. And! I technically purchased this blank shirt from Walmart for my wife to use her Cricket to print me a SMS logo. I love subtle anime shirts. Edited March 20, 2020 by Aaadriiann
Grey728 Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 @sqidd Please send us an updated image of your entire collection in your office. I’d love to see it. Actually I’d love to see everyone’s collection and how they display their stuff. It doesn’t have to be exclusively macross.

It's an Art Design machine that's used for home projects, scrapbooking/cardmaking (my ex-girlfriend's mom has one that the family bought two years ago. It's going to be used more frequently in these months since the lock down in Canada is countrywide). I guess that we're still getting our toy fixes somehow in some fashion or another. I thought our toy collecting will be on hold till this virus is passed over. I guess not...

Actually I’d love to see everyone’s collection and how they display their stuff. It doesn’t have to be exclusively macross. It's kinda in flux right now. I'm not happy with the entire presentation. I need to put some more lights and white backing in one cab (black right now). Lights in a Detolf. A few shelves (Macross Zero) are a bit bare because I left room for three VF-0D's. And I have a VF-0S with Armor to unbox. The Plus shelves are a little weenie. One more YF-19 for Gerwalk to go there and hopefully some Bandai DX 21's. Come to think of it I think I have 8-9 valks to un-box still. And 4-5 Primes. First world problems I suppose. I've got a box full of YetiStands to set up too. I'm getting tired just thinking about it! I've been slammed trying to get my new web site done. I'd rather have a sharp stick in the eye.
