The regular release came with those rims.

spanner Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Hey guys, moved house recently. Sold off quite a bit of stuff before and after the move but also purchased a few more 1/18 cars. Thinking of picking up a Valkyrie again. Just not sure which one to get.. I'd like a DX VF-1J again or maybe I'll wait for them to release a brownie in that line. Hope everyone has been well!
Slave IV Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Always love seeing your car collection @spanner! But yeah, get some Valks back!

You got some catching up to do on the 1/48 DX line(?), but i think that's the same for everyone since pre-order madness was crazy...... DYRL is getting the 1/48th treatment at the moment, you might just be in at the right time.... Edited July 26, 2019 by seti88

Oh, and speaking of which: This 1:50 diecast German crane cost over $1000 USD. CM's Patlabor figures sold separately. No more complaining about the cost of Macross toys!
no3Ljm Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Love your photos, @tekering. And welcome back, @spanner! Yes, you really really need to have a Valk in your car collection.
spanner Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Thanks guys! Yeah I definitely need to add a Valkyrie in there somewhere! Just no idea what I should get..
Xigfrid Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 @tekering I have also noticed that all the 1:50 diecast models are really much more expensive compared to 1:64 ones, I really don't know why there is such a gap! Unfortunately, there are less choice about engines in the smaller scale. @spanner Glad to hear you would come back ! I think you can begin with the DX 1:48 line if you want to keep the display tight. I can't see Bandai making anything bigger than the VF-1 in this scale.
sh9000 Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Welcome back @spanner and nice pics! Feel free to post more car pics in the Diecast Car Collectors thread.

vlenhoff Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 @spanner Welcome back! Awesome car collection! @tekering Gorgeous pictures as always! @sh9000 4 x VF-1D, you are a very sick puppy. So cool!
Mommar Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 So between the four packages I got the day I came back from a business trip and the three more figures I found today here’s the haul for the week. Scourge/Hela, Luis/Ghost, X-Factor Cyclops number two, Outback Dazzler number two, 80th Anniversary Classic Thor (an amazing figure!), VF-31E times two and another LP by Hybrid.

ridgebacks Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Not toy related, but I did switch from a Detolf to a larger cabinet so I can stuff more VF into it Have a couple more things waiting to be shipped out before the end of year.
Slave IV Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Got these Strictly Briks towers as a play set and display for minifigs. kids set this up.
vlenhoff Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) The cheap stands or Marcross Arcadia Yamato Dx Base Support Holder Stand Transparent 60 Series VF-1 (yes, they misspelled macross) finally arrived. They are very thin and my V1 1/60 Ostrich slightly bends it open a bit. With that said i love it, as it gives the fighter mode a very dinamic pose... but just that pose. With the V1 Elint the stand may need some trimming for best fitting. It hits the antenna coming from the arm undercarriage and it puts pressure on it. I had to put the Elint V1 back in my older flightpose stands. In any case, 1/48 without the gun fit pretty well, and it sort of saves space if you fold the wings back.

jeniusornome Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) @kkx hooked me up with a nice deal on KC's SD M&M pair, and I am just loving them. This cute couple is going to be sitting right in the middle of my red shelf. I snagged a 31C from Mandarake! Paid a little more than I would have liked, but it was the only 31 I wanted so I splurged a little. I considered just doing a Hasegawa kit, would have been a lot cheaper. But on this red shelf, I also have Arcadia's 1J Milia (ty @jrhudson311, also where I got the little Miriya) and I’m going to put a PG Gundam kit up there, so the big figures on it will all be 1/60 this way. I've got the KC SD Max and an Arcadia 1J Max on my blue shelf right now (got the Arcadia Max in an ebay auction, brand new, for just under $180 shipped, and I had about $30 off of that in ebay bucks, so, woohoo!). Hoping to find either a renewal VF-25G or YF-29b that someone might want to trade for my DX VF-25A for that shelf. When I finish clearing out the rest of my stuff I'm picking up a PG Strike Rouge, planning to paint with extra red for Miriya (Skygrasper too, going to try and just mirror her VF-1 scheme for that) and a PG GP01/Fb with a blue treatment for Max. Edited July 28, 2019 by jeniusornome
kkx Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Looking great. The tiny helmet under the SD Milia is super nice. Good luck with your plan, hope the PG01 Max will work out well. I have one unbuilt, might follow your example.
