jvmacross

I have say I do not watch too much, if any anime...I do make it a point to go through at least one viewing of the new Macross shows as they are released....the old stuff can't compete for the most part with the more recent valk fighter combat scenes....so they have that going for them...I would really like to see some VF-1 action updated to the newer non-cel dependent scequences....the closest would be the Macross Fever sequences...

Just merely following the original frame by frame, would be enough to make it better than any other Macross series that has come after it....adding Mikimoto as character designer woud also be a win

Here is sales data for the last six months for Yamato 1/48 items.... https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/closedsearch/closedsearch?p=やまと+マクロス+1%2F48&va=やまと+マクロス+1%2F48&b=1&n=60 You will see the low-average-high prices at the top of the page.... In general...the closer to MIB, the higher the value... The weathered VF-1S Focker is the one fetching the highest prices currently... As far as LOOSE values...in general...you can expect to receive 30% less than a boxed and complete item...if you then have loose item with missing or damaged of any kind (yellowing)...you can start subtracting 10% for each missing part or damage... As always, YMMV and it all will ultimately depend on your customer's willingness to pay what you are asking... I have no idea on i-men...probably look at past sales on ebay... As for V1 Yamato VF-1's...they are the forgotten Macross toys...only die-hard completists will have any interest...it's definitely a buyer's market for those....MIB, they usually go for 100usd or less....loose would be much less... Here is a link for the past 6 months of "1/60" sales...you will need to manually figure out the average for "V1" prices as the link just lumps all Yamato 1/60 VF-1's together.... https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/closedsearch/closedsearch?p=やまと+マクロス+1%2F60&ei=UTF-8&exflg=&va=やまと+マクロス+1%2F60&b=1&n=60 One final note....make sure to add proxy and international shipping cost to your prices as that is what anyone trying to buy directly from Japan would have to also consider when buying straight from Japan...

Are the colors on the leg stabilizers painted correctly for the Max and Kakizaki -1A's you received?

I'd rather have a SDFM TV remake....

Looks like it...wonder why the book took longer to release

I think this and an old graphic novel are the last Go Nagai stuff I have left.... I only collect Macross these days....

The "rumor" was that somehow HG protested the inclusion of art that was too close to their licensed mechs and characters...but looks like that was either not the case or some deal was hammered out to finally get the book released... Based on cover of the non-SDCC edition...it appears to be the same book...looking forward to finding out...

Another set of items not produced in nowhere sufficient amount of assortments were SDFM and DYRL plushies! Only one was officially released as far as I know...

Maybe someone made their own replica of the book...I have never seen one posted....would be nice.... As for the 13 pics....sort of? Gakken released a series of photo idol packs that sort of capture the photo concept from that book... They are relatively easy to find and get posted on Mandarake and YJA a few times a year if you wanted to hunt the 3 sets down...

The awful feeling of realizing your "variant" box collection is not complete....😪

Yeah...their CS has basically become average at best...it was nice to have had such an unparalleled level of CS from a Macross toy vendor for several years...unfortunately, with their history of QC problems, at least for me, I have to be much more vigilant when dealing with their releases...as I have said before, I normally leave most of my Macross toys unopened, but I have made an exception for all KC VF-1 releases since the V 2.x came out...

Even smaller...

All would have depended on demand and scarcity....we'll never know

I see they did not use the new packaging on the low viz VF-1's... They look good...mine should be arriving soon too...will take them both out for a thorough inspection...

Good luck

Good luck....

Pillow Case was done....which means the matching bed sheets are out there...
