Besides the Ozma Revival and HMR Milia, I really spoiled myself this Christmas. Shout out to Mandarke for being an enabler to my Macross addiction.

Is your friend a Macross fan too?

No, he's a poster dealer. 😅

Season's Greetings, everyone!  🎉

"Small" haul from Mandarake.

This were past year purchases, no Macross toys for this year yet. Oddly it took only 1 week to make it from Japan and thru customs via EMS.

Max unopened and Fire and 0S are openers.

Max puts me down to just one last DX VF-1 to get, Kakizaki. 

I have been tempted to grab a Hikaru Mechanical Edition, but I already have a Strike one. And for the anniversary VF-1J a really don't care that much. So far only 2 have popped at Mandarake for a good price. If I happen to see one I might grab it to complete a trio of them in each mode.

Bandai 1/55 Origin of Valkyrie VF-1A Max Super Valkyrie.

Nice! Hope they get there 💩 together enough to finally release it in 1:48 DX Format! This Max VF-1A was only released in the "Origin of Valkyrie" line in 1:55?

Besides the corners of the box showing some wear, the toy itself was in pretty pristine condition. Now I just gotta find a place to store this big ass box.

Yes. I now have it displayed on my Archi Pro stand in fighter mode fully decked out in Strike parts and missiles.

I think that was the first toy I ever purchased with a box so big it made me angry.

You should see the box for the LEGO UCS AT-AT. This is one of the few LEGO boxes I've kept even though it's impossible to fully dismantle the set once it's built.

I'm glad it went to someone here. I was watching it, but kept looking at my wallet. One day I'll get it.

You could post pix, you know. ;)

So you took the plunge and finally got it @rsvictor1976, so enablement points for me. :yahoo: What shipping method did you use for that monster (and you got it where this branch charges more for their S&H as they're the centralized hub for processing and distribution of the items for sale).

I got it from the Sahra branch since it was the only one with availability. I had to use EMS for this one just because the price difference between DHL and EMS was huge. Sadly enough I also bought another Hi-Metal R figure and used EMS on it as well and I think it's taking longer. I read somewhere that EMS seems to deliver items faster the bigger the package are. But let's face it, the biggest enabler in this forum is @jenius with his reviews.

Perhaps I just haven't pulled out these VF-1J HCMs for a long while, but I'm not sure if I ever paid attention to the yellowing on the Millia VF-1J's legs....Bandai was setting expectations pre-release!

Finally found one for an amazing price. Clean complete and oh so nice. Maybe I’ll find the Strike Pack one day for just as great a deal as this.image.jpeg.8be3eb227e5f648600c3e21af7dfa4c7.jpeg

That's a nice find. Where did you get it? Mandarake?

Another Bandai 1/55 Origin of Valkyrie VF-1A Max Super Valkyrie.  I wasn't planning on keeping it but decided to open this one and leave the other one sealed.
