@m0n5t3r Yeah the sv-51 is the sexiest. If only the Ivanov didnt have too many issues Id go for it. Frankly, im not too kin on the Nora color scheme hehe but the design is indeed sexy. Are you from the Philippines too? @ruskiiVFaussie As always your posts are very informative and helpful :-) Thanks man. @adrianop By any chance are you Hadrian Go? Yep Im from Cebu but Im in Japan now for training until December 16. Be right home for christmas with my valks wahahaha. Ill buy my valks here. When I get back to Cebu, ill probably be getting my next valks at Greenhills as barurutor has suggested. Argh im too excited to buy the valk. Saturday cant come fast enough.

@ruskiiVFaussie Ill post the result of my valk shopping on Staurday. Hope I get a good one. @Sumdumgai Ive already watched the YF-19 transformation from battroid to fighter in youtube. Very cool indeed. @barurutor Hehe Im from Cebu area. But thats good to hear that they are selling macross stuff at greenhills. I can ask my cousin to get it from me. One question though, can you trust those stores in greenhills re the toys? Greenhills has a bad reputation for selling crappy cellphones. @regult Fortunately for me, Im still single. I dont have to explain why I spent my hard earned 200$ on a "TOY". Hehehe. @kaiotheforsaken Yes I think I know what you're saying, Ive seen it in the youtube video. But the YF-19 design is cool. Ill think about it thanks :-)

Hey guys thanks very much for the warm welcome. All your inputs were very helpful. Im so touched I feel like crying. @Ignacio Ocamica Yes indeed. My wallet will be in for a world of hurt this coming weeks huhuhu. I am actually cutting off some of my expenses like travel expenses etc. just so I can save to buy my preciouusssssss. @AcroRay I've also been thinking about getting second hand valks :-). But I know for sure I will be more satisfied with a brand new valk. Guess Ill just have to be extra careful with them. @VFTF1 Hahahaha yes I think I would end up buying most of them(up to what my budget can afford). I think I can buy 3-4 of them. And you're absolutely right about the shipping and customs. I knew I was in big trouble once I started researching about these valks. Im the type of person who find it difficult to restrain myself from buying my preciouusssss. @rick dieck Hehehe I prefer the 1/60 models from the 1/48 :-) and I only plan to collect the 1/60's but thanks for your input anyway. @ruskiiVFaussie That was a very great advice. I have only watched robotech orignial series, macross original series, DYRL and Macross Zero. But I do have background about the other series like Macross 7 and Macross Plus. Its really hard to get a hold of this anime (a lot of anime in fact) in the Philippines. I usually watch them on the internet if some kindred souls would be kind enough to upload them. OK Ive already deciced to buy the VF-1A Hikaru DYRL this saturday. Ill play around with it this weekend then after I get the hang of the transformation, Id go and buy the YF-21 the week after. Ill buy the last 2 valks in november or december, maybe the sv-51 nora (I like Ivanov better than Nora but Ive read to many issues about the Ivanov) and YF-19. Thanks very much guys.

Hello Im newly registered to this forum and this is my first post. Im from the Philippines but Im in Japan right now for training. About two weeks ago I was strolling around Akihabara, the electric and otaku "center" around the Tokyo area, and I was able to see this Yamato 1/60 valks ranging from 14,000 - 20,000 yen. They were cool and the packaging was cool as well. I wanted to buy one but I figured for the price I was about to pay for the toy, I should research more about it first. So these past few weeks I have been reading reviews and comment from the internet and after all the information Ive gathered, I came up with the 6 valks with the least issues from Yamato(This is based from the reviews and user comments I have read). VF-1A (the latest release, DYRL) VF-1S (the latest release, DYRL) VF-0S (Roy with Super Strike parts) YF-21 YF-19 (With the fast pack) SV-51 nora type My question is, for a first timer (I havent done any transformations yet on any macross toys. This is also my first time to collect toys), which one would you suggest? I am planning to buy 3 - 4 valks before I return to the Philippines but for now Im just going to buy one and "play around" with it before buying the rest to get a feel of the toy. I know you guys here are friendly and help each other out hehe so please any suggestion will be much appreciated. Arigatou Gozaimashita.
