So, if we all sit out a few years we'll be able to pick all these up for pennies on the dollar?

One twist, the next Macross series is being developed now by a more :Gundam-ish" team and studio affiliation.   Presuming it leads to something more profound, does that create a quantum leap pull-through for everything else in the product portfolio?

btw, am I the only person who orders through Tokyo Otaku Mode?  They've been great to work with but feels like nobody else has.

Usually for niche items with small runs, once the initial supply runs out, prices start going up. That’s why we often see the Valks that sit on clearance that were probably made in less numbers than the main hero Valk to begin with sometimes end up being worth more years later.

As with anything that has finite production runs, the price only goes up with the yellowing.

Have you seen gundam build metaverse? Or Kyoukai Senki? They are a profound experience, but in the opposite way of what you are thinking. It's possible that the survival of the Macross brand is at risk in these new hands lol.

To be honest, for a proper tornado version of the 25 it would probably have been better to just create a version that had the wings permanently attached.  That pivot point at the wing root is a terrible engineering design.  It needs more reinforcement.
