Updated.  I’ll keep the VF-4G in this shelf.

SEX

Most of Macross' historical Valkyrie progression in just one formation. What else could you possibly want. This is why Macross valks are so much fun. 3 modes, several armors and set ups. It never gets old to me.

 

Great pictures everyone. Interesting sideways display there Lordrancid. Also, Saburo's and Kuma-style's photo work, should be in magazines.

We learn through mistakes. Just keep at it, and soon, you'll see results.

I see you big boy! Is that the matchbox version???

I am 99% certain it is. I'll check soon, but i don't have any of the accessorizes for it.

Well, not sure if it is the matchbox, but it says Bandai underneath. I bought it at a collectible store out of the box like 17 years ago. This poor thing has been with me for nearly two decades now.

Matchbox licensed the SDF-1from Bandai, after they acquired the Takatoko molds. So yeah that is a Matchbox by way of Bandai SDF-1. I Still have mine for three decades.

^ That's what it was! Thanks for the info! (this may sound cheesy, but that Bandai logo always made me happy, when i spotted it in a toy, back then)(Like Jetfire, etc.)

You are lucky! I had to grow old, grow a beard, and then i was able to find one at a reasonable-ish price. It's radar array is hanging on one side, partly broken, but it reminds me of that episode when they go dark. I was going to fix it, but I never got to it. This is how i got it back then, and i am just grateful I have it at all.

I know this is a pretty simple toy, but it has the spirit of the Macross, and that's enough for me. Every once in a while i think about weathering it, but i have not made my mind up yet.

Yeah those radar antenna and side antenna are not durable I forgotten how many times I had to glue it in place. Gorilla glue works better than crazy glue.

I know, I'm showing of. But since we're on the subject of the Matchbox SDF-1 and I just scored a really sweet one yesterday I thought I would post pics. This dude is completely custom painted. There are no decals/stickers ion it. That's all paint!:yahoo:

That’s not showing off, it would be a travesty if you didn’t share. Beautiful pick up. Congrats!

Looking good!  It's one of my favorite pieces along with the DYRL SDF-1 PF Arcadia.

Damnit. And now I need one.  Make it happen @sqidd!

Man. I miss mine. Had one since I was little. It got some breaks and scratches over the years, two of the cannons on the shoulders broke off, the main cannons snapped and were repaired more times than I can count. 
 

around ten years ago we had an earthquake. Smallish and very uncommon for where I live. But itwas close enough for things to shake a bit. When I got home from work that day figures that had been perched on the top of shelves were on the floor in pieces, including the sdf-1. 
 

So I appreciate seeing some in such good condition!
