McFly!! Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 sweet pickups, spanner! what, no nsfw pics of m&M yet? hehehe
Old Man Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Nice pickup spanner! I remember they were a pain to track down, even 4 years ago, but I just had to have M&M in the V2 sculpt. Enjoy
spanner Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks guys! Im so excited that i finaly got them! Just cant wait to get them and put them on display! Its felt like there has been a hole in my collection thats finally been filled! and I'll have a VT-1 again which will be awesome!
derex3592 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 The VT-1 is the only Valk from Yamato (aside from weathered editions) that I'm missing. Just never picked it up when it was released. Grrrrrr.....
spanner Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Where'd you find em! haha I found them on the Japan Auctions.. Super easy!
calubin_175 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Ordered Alto's Armor Renewal for 27k + 5%, At least it is still lower than the auction price of 35k ish + domestic shipping.
spanner Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 sweet pickups, spanner! what, no nsfw pics of m&M yet? hehehe hehe! not yet but soon! Nice pickup spanner! I remember they were a pain to track down, even 4 years ago, but I just had to have M&M in the V2 sculpt. Enjoy yes they have been a right prick to track down! I had seen them available a few times on the Japan Auction sites but they were always asking frightening money for them! Like I said they weren't cheap by any stretch of the imagination but still not too bad either! Heck its only money and it always comes round again and im more than happy with the money I spent! Nice one, Spanner! Those are pretty great purchases! Very hard to find indeed and a fine addition to any collection! Reeeeaaalllyyy looking forward to getting them! Estimated delivery is about two weeks away though..
caslon Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Hey guys! I made some BIG purchases over the weekend! Finally found another VT-1 to replace the one I so stupidly let go previously.. AND I also managed to score both Max & Milia's VF-1J!!! These two have got to be the holy grail of Valkyrie and I physically cannot describe the emotions that are running through me right now as I have been on the hunt for both Max & Milia for a considerable amount of time now.. Hopefully I will see them all in a couple of weeks which im sure will be a long and painful wait! Yes they were by no means cheap but on the other hand I think I got them at a fairly reasonable price considering how rare they are and what the price they demand! All brand new items too! Can't wait! So this pretty much completes my VF-1 collection apart from a few weathering editions which I probably won't bother with.. I know there is a possibility that Arcadia may (or then again may not) re-issue them but at this stage its still a complete unknown and I think I would prefer to have a set of Yamato originals.. Regardless im still very content with my purchases! TOY-RBT-0865_01.jpg TOY-RBT-0866_01.jpg TOY-RBT-0740_04.jpg I need only M&M set and Zentradi uniform before complete my entire VF-1 toy line! Congratulations to your latest acquisition! Good luck Spanner!
spanner Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I need only M&M set and Zentradi uniform before complete my entire VF-1 toy line! Congratulations to your latest acquisition! Good luck Spanner! Dang i didnt want the Zentradi uniform till now! Thanks for igniting my want for it! Now to go on the hunt! Will also need to buy a 2nd TV Max VF-1A.. Thanks Cas!
happy_spike Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Dang i didnt want the Zentradi uniform till now! Thanks for igniting my want for it! Now to go on the hunt! Will also need to buy a 2nd TV Max VF-1A.. Thanks Cas! I've always been hunting for one, but do you see what they go for!!?? They are crazy expensive.
derex3592 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 It's been an exciting (and expensive) last 7 days! Gotta say...loving these Bandai offerings so far!
ChaoticYeti Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I am curious, are these new purchases? Or...have you just been opening your MISBMISB collection? I tease. Great haul. Frontier valks are a lot of fun.
derex3592 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 All new purchases....and now I'm going to eat a can of spam for dinner
dimension Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Those VT-1s are really hard to find. Took me awhile to find one for myself.

Regardless im still very content with my purchases! TOY-RBT-0865_01.jpgTOY-RBT-0866_01.jpg TOY-RBT-0740_04.jpg I do want an M&M set, though I think I'd want their VF-22s. I have only one VF-1 on display at the moment, and I'd like a few more, but a VF-1A and a VF-1J GBP are higher priority than the VF-1J M&M. I don't have a VF-22, and I do love the M7 valks.
spanner Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I've always been hunting for one, but do you see what they go for!!?? They are crazy expensive. I saw one on the japan auctions for something like 110,000yen.. just wee bit overpriced!
calubin_175 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Managed to snag a VF-25F Alto Renewal unopened for 13k yen from Mandarake. I was surprised that it fit into a <2kg small packet as I thought their stores don't have long short boxes, maybe it is on a store to store basis. This is way below the current market price of 16k in Yahoo Auction. So I got Alto VF-25F + Armor Renewal for 40k in total before shipping, not too bad for today's prices.

dapro Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I bought this from Angolz like two years ago and totally forgot about it in the closet. So it is kind of like recent purchase I guess.
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 All new purchases....and now I'm going to eat a can of spam for dinner hahaha
abbadon Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 some better pics... Pretty cool! I bought this from Angolz like two years ago and totally forgot about it in the closet. So it is kind of like recent purchase I guess. Nice one, dapro!
Old Man Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I bought this from Angolz like two years ago and totally forgot about it in the closet. So it is kind of like recent purchase I guess. Hey dapro, is that the version with the rainbow tint canopy?
spanner Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I bought this from Angolz like two years ago and totally forgot about it in the closet. So it is kind of like recent purchase I guess. hehe! gee I wish I could find something like this that I had forgotten about in my closet! no chance of that happening sadly enough.. Nice rediscovery!
Ignacio Ocamica Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I open all of my valks so no such surprise for me either.
chyll2 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 it is just like you've hidden some money and found out years later that you did it (though honestly, the chance of it happening to valkyrie I purchased will never happen)
dapro Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Nice! How do you misplace max! Haha. I got inside a big box for storage that has other boxes on top of it. haha Hey dapro, is that the version with the rainbow tint canopy? Clear canopy. hehe! gee I wish I could find something like this that I had forgotten about in my closet! no chance of that happening sadly enough.. Nice rediscovery! Yea! This was one of my early purchases of macross toys!
dapro Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Just got this in today thanks to Gakken85. Slab a strike pack on it and it looks stunning.
Gakken85 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 Looks awesome man! Glad you're happy with it.
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Looks awesome man! Glad you're happy with it. man great buy, i would've asked for it but i already have so many. great deal gak
dapro Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 David has so many unopened valks. He is like a store inventory! I noticed there is difference between the older v2 DYRL Roy and the 30th ani. one. The older one has rainbow canopy\ flip preview box\ 2 tabs on each side on the box vs. 30th ani. has clear canopy\ no flip preview on box \ one tab on each side\ newer crotch like 1\48, and optional parts. The 30th has better QC (no shoulder crack), but I digging the rainbow canopy. So I am displaying the older roy and 30th goes back into the box as MIB.
Gakken85 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 Yeah the rainbow is underrated. Most I have seen are unpeeled. My Roy combo set has a rainbow and I like it a lot.
