Ok... many know I have a 1/55 fetish. I think I only need 9 more [mib or boxes for my loose] to have all of them boxed. 10 if somebody proves to me joon's made a 1a. Maybe more depending. Can anybody make a list of every 1/55 that was made off the original taka molds and sold boxed? I say boxed because every carded knock-off I've seen wasn't worth the plastic it was made of [even the obsessive have to have boundaries . I consider it a proper 1/55 if I can swap parts between valks using taka's as my control... so toynami don't count

I think I know which ones I need/exist, but looking through my loose valks I came across a taka 1s with a red chest stripe rather than yellow one and got confused. Did taka ever make a red chest stripe 1s? It's not a jetfire chestplate as its the hikaru 1a black/red rather than jetfires red/black. Anybody?

anybody have that stupid french valk I need

I know everybody is 1/48 crazy at the moment, I probably would be to... if there weren't still 1/55's my completest butt still needed , but a little knowledge will aid my mental anguish immensely

[big F]

Wow I didnt think there were that many. Well at this mo I have at least one of all the Jetfires and the Galaxy Command one ( no boxes ) so it safe to say I have a few to get.

[Fortress_Maximus]

Anyone care to post their 1/55 collection in the existing thread? kanata67?

[VF-ZX2]

I know where you can find the french one incomplete with broken head lasers for 75$, but I feel that is too high of a price for one.

[nightmareB4macross]

Are you also looking for the box variants??

[kanata67]

Are you also looking for the box variants??

if you mean like how the strike boxes can be smooth and glossy or dull and textured... not realy.

$75 for an incomplete frenchy with broken head lasers?!?! I'd probably pony up if it had the box and directions just so I could not have to worry about it anymore.

still no idea with my mystery taka? I'll try and take pics shortly.

[VF-ZX2]

Yes, if we can see pics we may be able to identify it.

[easnoddy]

Actually, I'm positive there was a RED Joons 1A produced. I've seen them in a few Ebay acutions over the years. Prety hard to find.

It's not a Joons. The type Kanata is looking for are all boxed. The version your thinking of is carded.

**I added the Blister Packed types on to the list, just for reference.

Thanks for the input easnoddy.

Pretty sure. The only ones I've ever seen are the red versions from China. They pop up very rarely on ebay.

Ive seen one on Ebay as well went for a high price it was on eBay Uk though and Macross prices over here can get a little inflated.

[kanata67]

I know there was a 1/55 with led's I have yet to aquire... supposedly...
till I have one in my possession I don't believe...

Oh yeah... whats a good site to host pics as I finally took pics of the valk and my collection..,. since people have been harrassing me about me jetfires

Remember VF-1X that used to post here? He had an online store for a while before he got into drifting. Anyway, he also was a 1/55 completist and did finally hunt down a Red VF-1A Joons. He had pictures of it on his site and this was years before the Chinese blister carded knock-offs started.

Also there is supposedly a Green Taiwan 1J knock-off in the Robotec box along with the grey 1J Hikaru. I had the grey one at one time. Had a nice box and the inner tray was actually styro instead of plastic.

Well, if you didn't know what the deal is behind the name nightmareB4macross, now you know.

[phatslappy]

With so many beautiful 1/55s and so much love to they give, why would anyone bother going to the 1/48?

[easnoddy]

its been a few years since I've seen one, but I'm pretty sure the Joons red 1A had a Space Gandam box.
