That's a really tough call. Really. If I had to choose one, it would be my 1/48 Focker VF-1S. I've waited for something like that for years. My Masterpiece Convoy is tied with it, pretty much.

Figured I'd start a thread for once. Anyway, I'm working on building my little 10th level Black Mage. It was tough in the beginning, but it's gotten better as I've learned stronger spells. I can see the Black Mage shaping up to be a real heavy hitter later on. I'll probably go Warrior after I hit 30th as a Black Mage, then Dark Knight.. with Black Mage as my sub. Big swords and black magic. What's not to like? How are the rest of you doing?

I agree with Evil Jesus there. Kevin (Valkyrie Exchange), Tamim (TMPanime.com) and Will (Blasto Toys) all run reputable e-stores and I'm sure any one of them can provide you with first-rate products and service. Stick to the 1/55's if you want, but trust me.. the 1/48's are beautiful. Quite worth the money in my opinion. But again, the choice is yours.

I don't think there are any real problems beyond that hinge. Just treat it with care and don't use excessive force. The 1/48 Valkyrie isn't as rock-solid as a 1/55 Bandai or Takatoku, but it's not fragile either. It'll handle reasonable play and regular transformation just fine. Definitely pick one up, though. You'll be glad you did.

Heh. Right. You sissy.

Please don't soil Macross with Shatner-isms.

danster.. Pull the button backward slightly, it'll click.. and the light goes on.

The 1/48 VF-1J was on the ballot, yes.

I remember.

I wouldn't mind getting a set of the 1/48 anime style hands for my VF-1S. Anyone know the part numbers?

Happy New Year to all of you. My very best wishes to you and those close to you. 2003.. thank you and goodbye. Welcome, 2004. We look forward to the good things you have in store. To all MacrossWorlders.. let's enjoy the ride, shall we?

Cool. You look dangerous.

I didn't get anything. I'll probably pick something up for myself, sooner or later.

Right now I've got SDF Macross in my PS2. I tried out Gundam: Encounters In Space, too. My favorite game this year? I don't know. I enjoyed several.

Yeah. Bears will make Graham talk. Really.. they will.

I'd like to know how the rest of you managed to get the cockpit instrument panel stickers on. Those things would end up being incredibly thin and prone to tearing after cutting them out. Toothpicks? Tweezers? Did you disassemble the fuselage? I haven't done my instrument panel yet.

The Empire Strikes Back. Go Vader.

Titles are good. Bring them back, please. Thanks.

My first Valkyrie was a 1/55 Takatoku VF-1S, from Toys N Joys here in Honolulu, Hawai'i. I scraped together my paper route money and bought it for $37.95. It's long gone, but I have a Bandai re-issue to remind me.

I figure that if neither side has figured out a way to win decisively, after all those years of fighting.. it's just not gonna happen. They're both immensely powerful armies. Just not powerful enough to put each other down for good.

I agree with the eternal draw statement. If both sides are still fighting after 10,000 years.. there's not going to be a victor.

Sorry to hear about your car, Vostok. I'm glad you're in one piece, though. Take care of yourself.

Yeah.. but it was fun.
