    So I just saw the guy from the Epsilon foundation explain how he sold the Sv units to Windermere.
  2. Giantman
    Here's an odd question and I hope this is the correct place for it. How did the Windermereans come to use the Sv fighter line as their own? If I'm not mistaken the Sv Draken is a descendant of the original Sv's from Macross zero right? Is there some connection between the anti UN forces from Zero and the anti NUNS sentiment shared by the Windermereans? Also I'm only on episode 14 of Delta, so if the answer contains spoilers for the series conclusion please keep that in mind, thanks.

    Any news on these KOs? Supposedly they were to be released months ago? Has anyone received them and if so how are they?

    Why do you think Arcadia does such small runs for their releases? I know Yamato over saturated the market, but when Arcadia has a release that sells like crazy why don't they do more re-releases?

    OMG, that is literally my top 4 Macross wish list in one picture! On a completely unrelated note what is your address and what times is your house unoccupied? Of course I'm completely joking, sorry not really a joking matter. I had a good friend who over the course of 30+ years amassed the most amazing collections of Star Wars stuff I'd ever seen and by inviting over the wrong people ended up robbed blind, the police recovered most of it back minus what the bastard was able to sell......... So, not funny I guess.

    Hey all, a couple of questions. I was wondering if one of my benevolent Macross friends could give me a list of the different stores from Japan to buy collectibles from, I'm familiar with Amiami, and Jungle, but I've read references to others on the forum in the past but can't remember the particulars, a list of good options would be greatly appreciated! Also my next question is why does Arcadia do such limited runs of their releases? I know Yamato over saturated the market with endless and sometimes undesirable releases, but what prevents Arcadia from doing more than 2 releases of toys that have such successful sales? Thanks for your replies in advance.

    Yeah, when you are in the market it takes some research to keep from paying out the nose.

    Also, be super careful with the legs on the 19, mine snapped at the gerwalk joint, I slipped it back in and has no cosmetic damage, but my heart broke knowing it wasn't in tip top shape anymore.

    Oh man, I want a VF-11 so damn bad. The prices on eBay are stupid though. I somehow managed to get my Arcadia VF-19 for only $300 or so with shipping.
  10. Giantman
    Awesome thank you.

    Hey fellas, can anyone vouch for the yeti stand? I want to get one for my Arcadia VF-19, if so can you give me an idea if which parts to buy. I took a look at the site for about 30 seconds and realized it was a bit more involved than picking one out and ordering it.

    I think the 25 is the best looking valk in the series.

    You guys know anywhere to get the new premium finish Arcadia Ichijo vf1s?

    What are the release date on the new ride armors? Also, does this mean that Figma, Sentinel, and Riobot are all releasing ride armors? Or am I missing something?
  15. Giantman
    Has anyone gotten a KO yet?

    I'm just really impressed how well designed, pose-able, and true to the G1 the Transformers masterpiece line is. I forget who said earlier that waiting for the Masterpiece line was the long game, I couldn't agree more. I love how now as an big kid trapped in a 37 year old Dad's body that I can share these new amazing collectibles with my girls.

    Congrats! Whats the Miclone's name? Here is My Arcadia Yf-19. I wish I would have dropped the cash for a Bandai Vf-19 renewal instead, but she's still a beautiful piece. the damn wings and ankles though.......
  18. Giantman
    I won my Arcadia Yf-19 bid on eBay. $297, after which I found one on jungle for $200. Damnit. Oh well.

    One of the hard points on my Arcadia VF-1S has gotten a little sloppy, causing too much play and not enough friction for the missiles. It will still tab in and I can display it but the smallest bump makes it swivel around. I was thinking of using a toothpick and applying a dab of Testors model glue inside to tighten it up but thought I'd get some input and advice from my fellow Macross colllectors. Any and all suggestions are needed, thanks.

    The transformation video from scorched earth was one of the most terrifying and difficult undertakings I think I've ever seen!
  21. Giantman
    What do the different designations VF, YF, SV etcetera stand for? VF is variable fighter, correct?
  22. Giantman
    When are these available, as I saw the tabao M+Ms are pre-order, but the Fokker VF-1S on tabao and yoycart are already available I think. Has anyone received one yet?
  23. Giantman
    Good lord, I wonder if you took the combined monthly purchases of all our members and added it up, we could probably fund a small army somewhere. I have a decent job, but this is proof that I need to go back to school. If my damn kids weren't so hungry ans needed new clothes all the damn time I could keep up, little parasites!
  24. Giantman
    LOL, this really takes KO to a whole other ,level! Here is my Masterpiece Swipe "Robot Former" by Tanaka Tony......... I need to stop buying these KOs, I will drop some cash on an original Takara Tomy on payday if the Arcadia YF-19 I bid on gets outbid. I put a $350 max bid, I just hate dropping much more than that on a single piece.

    Wow. M5s are beautiful and handle so amazingly.
