calubin_175 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) Is there a way to maintain the joints of Bandai DXs? Is the Yamato VF-4 Lightning the rarest of holy grails for Macross collecting, at least for modern collecting excluding vintage?

ChaoticYeti Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 It is the most expensive. Not hard to find. Anything less than $600usd is considered a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benson13 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Thanks guys. I appreciate all the warm and fuzzies. Damn son! You shouldn't rob banks dude...LOL. Congrats though seriously. I've got a 27, 25, and the 30 coming in soon. You're going to love that 30. It has a swivelly waist and everything. I just got reaction weapons for it so it'll be armed and ready to wreck shop.

anime52k8 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) So after a long wait, this finally arrived. The blue is probebly a bit darker and more saturated than what would be "screen accurate" but I like it.

Gakken85 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 How is the swoop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamutzyro Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 The swoop is awesome. It's metal and plastic. Excellent build quality. Not floppy, very well fit and tight. I have the slag and shockwave from fans toys n they are top quality. I'd buy any third party they put outs they are top notch. If you like masterpiece, u should pic up the swoop. You will not regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knightdramon Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 How is the swoop? I can attest to what the other poster said--Swoop/Soar is very impressive and solid. It has some issues though---after the feedback from Scoria, FT over-tightened all of the joints to the point where you need to have a screwdriver around on the first transformation to ease some joints out. The gold/red [depending on your version] tabs on his upper thighs are very easy to break with slight mishandling so be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calubin_175 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I am surprised that myfigurecollection has only listed 5 owners of the VF-0D. That means not many people on this forum use the site to track their collection. http://myfigurecollection.net/item/198517 Macross toy collecting tends to be pretty high brow due to price and the required knowledge to appreciate VFs, and collectors who specialise in this understands that Macross toys do meet multiple key factors of toy collecting, hence they may not diversify as much as general collectors who require multiple toy lines to fulfil their tastes.

I wouldn't assume a large enough percentage of collectors either know of this site or update regularly. I keep my MFC page regularly updated, I just didn't get a VF-0D for various reasons: http://myfigurecollection.net/profile/bediMR ecoboost? GT? I love the new mustangs. I think on the GT's the package with black rims gave you 3.73's? I went with the EcoBoost performance package. The GT with the same package would have had the 3.73 TORSEN rear end and 6 piston Brembos, which would have been pretty sweet, but the price and MPG of the turbo 4 just made more sense. Still 310hp, 320ft-lbs and a 3.55 rear are plenty enough get up and go to have a good time. Also, this is one of like only three turbo mustangs with a performance package AND a stick in the whole state, and the only one in this color.

spanner Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hey guys! I made some BIG purchases over the weekend! Finally found another VT-1 to replace the one I so stupidly let go previously.. AND I also managed to score both Max & Milia's VF-1J!!! These two have got to be the holy grail of Valkyrie and I physically cannot describe the emotions that are running through me right now as I have been on the hunt for both Max & Milia for a considerable amount of time now.. Hopefully I will see them all in a couple of weeks which im sure will be a long and painful wait! Yes they were by no means cheap but on the other hand I think I got them at a fairly reasonable price considering how rare they are and what the price they demand! All brand new items too! Can't wait! So this pretty much completes my VF-1 collection apart from a few weathering editions which I probably won't bother with.. I know there is a possibility that Arcadia may (or then again may not) re-issue them but at this stage its still a complete unknown and I think I would prefer to have a set of Yamato originals.. Regardless im still very content with my purchases! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy_spike Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Congrats man! Can't wait till I get my V2 M&Ms. I have 2 V1 Max supers in the box and getting a V1 Miria soon. They have a sweet looking displayable box and going to leave them mint. The V2s though, those it will take out and put on display, can't wait till I get to feel that same thrill you did! YAY!
