I'm sure your fighting skills are impressive, but.... - jvmacross, acquirer of rare Macross antiquities

Watched it...there was some cool footage of the early white armored Fett...not sure if it was new or not...and the usual fett scenes from the Films....basically just a long promo for TBOBF

Done...Sadly, we can't even get the "veterans" to lead by example and post sales links in the appropriate "Where to Buy" threads, let alone the newbies...

Someone started the weekend early!

If you have been collecting since the 80's, then you should have given up all hope of "variety" when it comes to Macross....for the toys...it is all about the original VF-1 (the only time it is not is when Bandai is releasing VFs to cash in on a new Macross series...and even then, it will be mostly the "VF's" from the new series that will get produced)...The original VF-1 gets a reboot/update every decade or so...it's been more or less consistent....the only time that things veered from this formula was during the Yamato days (1/60 Destroids and a few oddball releases) and more recently with the Bandai HMR line (Destroids and some enemy mechs)......the biggest hope now would be for Bandai to follow up on what they have teased in terms of enemy Macross mecha....time will tell, but, unfortunately, it also tells us that the odds are against it...

About 150-200 USD for a used/complete sample...however, the damage on yours is going to hurt it's potential market value with at least a 30% mark down...the hardest part would be finding someone who is "ok" with the specific damage....usually, if the damage does not affect functionality (ex. it can transform into all modes) or if it is not easily visible it is less impactful on what it can sell for....your sample seems to be fine if kept in fighter mode, with the obvious damage only fully noticeble in gerwalk or battroid modes.....so this may help find a buyer...good luck! As for the Mospeada bikes.....I wouls strongly advise you NOT to sell as a lot....you never achieve maximum potential profits in doing so.... My advice would be to take the best figure and match it up to the best bike....then take the second best figure and match it up to the second best bike....sell both sets individually......at that point you could toss in an extra figure to each set as a "bonus".....as for value.....I am not that tuned into the Mospeada collectibles aftermarket, but casually viewing past auction sales should give you a good idea on price....I want to say $100 or so for each set, assuming there is no damage or missing parts....

In my area, all three theatres showing this are within 20 minutes from me....however, releasing it as subtitled makes it an easy pass for me...I'd make an exception if it were DYRL

Probably not....maybe if it was DYRL

Did someone mention hope?

That's right Bandai....we need these instead of an HMR Tomahawk, Phalanx, or N-Ger...

I'd consider a KC TV SDF-1 if they ever get to releasing one, hopefully they have been working on it to be more lineart accurate

Sheesh...I hope not....I sometimes wonder why I am still collecting some of this stuff now, let alone 40 years from now! .....I still think the Morinagas are possible.....but that could just be a fool's hope....

Nice...wasn't there another one you acquired recently? Or maybe it was one that got away?

yes, from the minds of Ohsato!

Collection 2 samples of the Morinaga Macross Choco-Corn mini kits are hard to come by. I can only assume they were produced in even less numbers than the Collection 1 kits. As shown in the previous posts...Collection 1 consists of the following 8 kits: Defender Battroid Valkyrie VF-1J Spartan Armored Valkyrie Tomahawk Glaug Gerwalk Valkyrie Phalanx Collection 2 consists of the following 8 kits: Super Valkyrie Gerwalk Battroid Valkyrie VF-1S Super Valkyrie Battroid Q-Rau N-Ger Scout Regult Missile Pod Regult Monster Needless to say, the hunt for any Collection 2 Morinaga Macross kits has been all about the long game! Thankfully, I was able to add a few to my collection recently. A few I had never actually seen a copy of before on auction or from available pics on the webs, which are scarce to begin with. Morinaga Choco-Corn Macross kits - Collection 2 Super Valkyrie Gerwalk N-Ger....yes, it is missing the shoulder cannon...I usually do not buy anything "incomplete" but I made an exception for this fellow...Due to its rarity I figured having an incomplete specimen was better than not having any at all...this was the first one I had ever seen in any condition, so not sure when the next one will pop-up.... Q-Rau........All of these kits were released in 1984 and are TV versions, but I guess molding it in red was sort of timely... Battroid Valkyrie VF-1S....I can just pretend this is "Max's" DYRL VF-1S to go with the red "Milia" Q-Rau posted above.... So 4 down.....4 more to go! Not sure how long it will take to find the rest of Collection 2, but in addition to the kits...there are also 2-3 additional box variants and a coupe of ultra-rare Morinaga mail-away background display boards.... The hunt still keeps collecting vintage Macross interesting after all these years!

That was one of the best "extras" sold with any valk release.........I skipped the set but was able to buy the Fire Bomber figurines from a fellow MWer...

Nice....I think that is part of Shawn's collection...but not 100%

Large Blue SDF-1? Here you go.....
