Thanks, it been a busy past few months didn't have time to take photos also I haven't had anything Macross related delivered in a while, but that will change at the end of this month. I'll have some Valk photos when those arrive.

I have to dedicate this to all of you that posted beautiful pics of the 19P in that recent thread and forced me to buy one. So to all you enablers: i think i just fall in the same situation....now i waiting for the arrival of a 19P and a 19F (I think it was the last one in stock on HKcollectibles).
derex3592 Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Well this morning I had my first transformation session with my VF 27 with super parts..... I will say admit there was blood drawn.....ouch....stupid emo Brera brat...
ArchieNov Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Brera is emo? I don't think he is... Alto though...
Valkyrie Driver Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Honestly, They're both moody, brooding, pretty boys, but neither qualifies as emo, as they don't sit around proclaiming their issues, and feeling sorry for themselves... Besides, as the toy has no blood, that which was shed was yours, thus negating the emo statement entirely.
Gakken85 Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 Great stuff guys. Finally got a decent shot of my VF-0D http://i.imgur.com/DuXawqZ.jpg

No drawn blood for me though.. then again I don't ever handle most of my Valks which automatically reduces the possibility of injury! On 4/6/2015 at 12:03 AM, Gakken85 said: Great stuff guys.

derex3592 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 1:18 Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari "LaFerrari". Love it.
Gakken85 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 Sweet car man! Too bad it doesn't transform

Especially in the yellow! And for a Hotwheels too! I had a few Hotwheels 1:18 scale cars in the past but never thought they were quite up to the build and detail standard as AutoArt for example but this one looks pretty bloody good! I have been eyeballing a few other model cars lately and I might just have to add one of these to the list! And although the yellow does work I think for me it'd have to be red..

The Hot Wheels Elite are all pretty darn good. The 599 GTO was and still is my favorite. Last couple of years they had MSRP of well under $100 shipped. That was a deal. The new stuff is around $140ish. Kinda on the edge of not worth it unless you really like the car. AutoArt is of course better..but twice the price..or more! Edited April 7, 2015 by derex3592

mechaninac Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Sadly, Hot Wheels lost the license to produce Ferrari die cast 1/18 replicas; and instead of awarding the license back to Kyosho, or to AutoArt or Minichamps, Scudaria Ferrari decided to go with Maisto/Bburago... what were they thinking? Maisto and Bburago have never produced anything of satisfying quality to a serious collector. Hot Wheels Elite series are a very good value. I have their F-430 -- fantastic, their F-458 Italia -- excellent, and La Ferrari -- I find it a step back from the other two in terms of quality and execution, but still pretty damn good; none of them are as good as my AutoArts, but then, none of them cost north of $150, either. So, in the foreseeable future, Ferrari 1/18 collectors will have to settle for crude and cheap, and toyish looking offerings from the new licensees, or track down out-of-production Elite and Kyosho (I have Kyosho's F-40 Lightweight and Testarossa, both are sublime)... while Lamborghini, Bugatti, McLaren, etc. have AutoArt and other high-end companies handling their properties' 1/18 representations -- at least in part, Ferrari decided to go low-rent.

derex3592 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Didn't know that! Dang...well...no more Ferrari's in my future then. Yeh...WTH were they thinking???
spanner Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Oh yeah thats right eh.. they did lose the Ferrari license. Im kinda surprised Ferrari did that Unless Bburago and Maisto are going to significantly improve their build quality.

I did not know this, thanks. I used to collect the 1:18 Ferrari F1 cars mainly during the MS years but I was never that impressed with Hot Wheels. Then one year all of a sudden (it seemed) the prices tripled with no discernible increase in quality. That's when I stopped buying them.
spanner Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 thought I'd post this in the correct section this time.. Just ordered these two lovely little ladies through NY! sweeeeeeeet!!!
garyboy_palaboy Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I saw these limited edition 1:6 dolls, does anyone know anything about these figures? too bad my celphone's battery went dead, didn't get any pics what inside. But it seems they are poseable figs with clothes...
