scand Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I'm about 10 years too late to the VF17 party but finally have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froy Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) Browines!!! Thanks to @sh9000Â for pointing me to Jungle when a opened one was available. It was like 2 months ago. A few days latter one more popped up. First time getting Macross stuff from them. Super Hikky comes from Mandarake. Just picked up the last too ones from the post office. Brownies weren't particulary cheap but I'm happy I'm still able to fill some gaps in the Hi Metal R collection.

The non-Macross purchases thread is in the "Anime or Science Fiction" subforum, where all the non-macross stuff goes. The old thread is closed and archived. Seems pretty straightforwards to me. The links are just a shortcut to the relevant sections of the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometime ago, 3 of those did, but got cart-jacked as I was pondering what else to add to the package lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Midnight version don’t seem to have many fans, especially when the normal version have tripled in price going by Mandarake’s rates. It wasn’t on my radar either as I’m usually not a fan of transparent toys, but Macross plastic crack kicked in strongly when the opportunity came up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not too bummed about that one because it’s more of a cool to have thing that isn’t going to replace my PF Arcadia or a possible bigger future SDFM version. But yeah, I’m either lag and miss out or go crazy and buy everything instantly in multiples. I was doing the latter for a long time but back into not caring as much and holding back mainly because I am way over the limit on space. If there is something I really have to have, I won’t miss out anymore though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacrossMania Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 21 hours ago, sh9000 said: Imai 1/100 Armoured Space Suit. These models play a critical role in filling out the Macross universe that existed in the 80's. Of course the toys anchor the whole franchise, but the models were really the imaginative element that made the cartoon "real" for me as a kid. Dark, foreboding, filled with danger and risk. The box art somehow brought to life the darker elements of the franchise far more than the toys did. Although they were fun, the toys were more just play things in line with the cartoons. The models were reality smacking you in the face. In that sense, I think they are critical representations of Macross during that time period. Definitely worth collecting for that reason.
