Novareign Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I just found out that Comic Con is here in Indianapolis til Sunday. Quote
derex3592 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I've gotten a few model kits here at the Irving/Dallas Fan Days/Comic Con from one guy that has a small table, but never seen ANY Yamato or Bandai stuff for sale. Quote
jenius Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 There is always some stuff at SDCC... but everything is there. Quote
Old Man Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Last time I went to WonderCon in SF a few years ago they had some Yamato stuff, but it was all 1/48 if I recall, and the prices were pretty high. Quote
SuperSenpai Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I can't imagine that you'd find good prices at a standard pop culture or comic convention for Macross toys, unless the dealer is willing to haggle. I haven't seen Macross merch at any cons that I've been to, but I've seen other high-end figures like Hot Toys and the prices were all pretty much standard retail or higher. Maybe you'll have better luck at an anime-focused con where there are likely more retailers carrying the same product (and thus have to compete on price), or the clientele is more knowledgeable so they can't gouge them.

gunbuster76 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 sdcc you'll find a few. very few. there's a shop from sf that has some decent stuff. and the guys from frank and sons. anime expo was a disappointment. although i did come up on a v2 hikaru 2s for a hundred there. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Thx guys are you looking for anything in particular? Quote
Gakken85 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Depends on the size of the con. I know on the east coast at Animazement, we had one of the creators of the Macross but not a single vendor selling any decent toys. I saw one over priced fire valk. The rest was just endless gundams and crappy action figures. The guy said everything went up north to a larger convention. I think in the South East it's hard to find for sure. I'm willing to bet I have one of the largest private collections of valks in the South east and I don't have an amazing amount. 24 yamatos? hah Quote
VX31 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 you guys forgot mwcon the best place to buy. i was there, the selection was nice. but some prices were higher than ebay prices... Quote
Falcon Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 you guys forgot mwcon the best place to buy. When is MWCon this year? Wish MWCon dates are in late September so I can use it as a good excuse to go Quote
Golden Arms Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I would say your best option would be to check the for sale thread on this forum. There are a fair amount of collectors here that sell their toys from time to time. If you find anything at a Con, I bet it will be way overpriced. Quote
xrentonx Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 True but sometimes there's nothing like pawing at a box in person before you commit to a buy Quote
UN Spacy Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 ...usually overpriced iirc. Last few times I've been to Fanimecon they had a few Yamato gems with questionable prices. Quote
