You may have just caused the "1st" release to shoot up in value!!!...

NP....it will be hard, mine is the only one I have seen that still had what you need...the flexi-record....others have just included the book

If I see it, I'll let you know.

Anyone take the plunge on this one off ebay? I don't see it listed anymore. I couldn't justify the expense at the moment...but it was worth every penny....

No worries....if I run into any of them I'll let you know

Very nice Javier...always great to see complete collections of anything! I see that you have included some records that are not all Macross, but have some Macross content....are they part of what makes it "complete" or since they had some Macross you included them anyways? You may still be missing one....

They also made B2 sized promotional posters of the M+ dvd set posted...the YF-19 is fairly common....it comes up on ebay and YJA often....the YF-21 cockpit poster may take you longer to find.... Check out the poster thread.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=28705

based on other offerings in this line...it seems they sometime include various support vehicles and/or accessories....perhaps they will treat the P & D for this release the same way....perhaps they made them removable...either way glad to see someone releasing a TV SDF-1 for a change.....the wait for an updated take on a 1/3000 version continues.....

If you don't buy the SAP-less VF-2SS......you can't have your SAP!!!.....how can you have your SAP if you don't buy the SAP-less VF-2SS!!!!?!?!?

The buildup to a 1/3000 TV SDF-1 is excruciatingly slow...c'mon Bandai!

more of a concern than a criticism....as it would seem the SAP may possibly not materialize due to insufficient sales of the SAP-less VF-2SS...which if were to happen, would go down as a bad business decision IMO...

LOL....I enjoy plundering Macross treasure from the Japanese!

Still all-in on the VF-2SS, however, I have to question their marketing strategy. Sure, the "naked" -2SS will be bought by the die-hard fans....but I think starting off with a fully armed -2SS would have appealed to a much wider audience. If this info gets out enough, casual collectors may decide to cancel existing pre-orders and "wait" for the SAP equipped version....that will never come due to poor sales of the "plain Jane" VF-2SS.... Time to add a third pre-order....

yeah...there is one seller on YJA that insists that you need to go through some very specific proxy bidder to buy his cels.....incidentally, those cels have been listed and relisted for years! You probably know which ones I am referring to.... yeah, but the few that he has sold probably made up for all the ones he has purchased and not sold.....he usually does not bid too high as the assumption is he needs to "make a profit" (although his pricing strategy could use some tweaking)...but his latest "acquisition" was sort of pushing his usual purchase price limits....I'm thinking he will list the Hikaru at around $600 and the Isamu at $700 or $800...and if they do sell, I'm thinking we need to form a cel purchasing cartel and split the profits away from him!

Thanks for posting....so were they actually sold out of other related items during your visit...or is the book the only item available tied to this exhibit?

Yeah...I was told a funny theory by a fellow MWer about that seller....he said that he probably buys the cels and tells his wife they are for "selling" on ebay...the unrealistic prices are in hopes none of them ever actually sell! I have no issue with him "buying low, selling high"...but the problem is he doesn't seem to have a grasp of the actual US market rate for the vast majority of his stock.....I am fairly certain that many would easily sell even at doubling of the original purchase price....but he seems to think US buyers are willing to pay 3X or more for cels....I too have offered up to double what he has paid on some of them and he never "bites"....so that theory might actually be true!

So the PWS-0X and VF-0A cannon fodder can't possibly be the next big Arcadia release right? RIGHT? Battle 7 or TV SDF-1 announcement being saved for Winter Wonderfest 2015?

Arcadia is pretty clever...just when you thought you could opt out on the whole "new" VF-0 line...now you need to at least get the VF-0S so you can properly display a VF-0 with PWS-0X...hoping they get the colors right and release a combo pack!

Here it is next to a V1 1/60 VF-1J with GBP armor....I'd say the Toynami is closer to the "bruiser" look of the Yamato V1 GBP than the V2.... ....I think the worst part of the Toynami GBP (besides the price) is the nosecone armor piece....it basically just covers the front half.....it looks like they could have made a piece to fit the back, but they opted not to.....

http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n146708697 I think you'll see these on ebay for double the price pretty soon based on the high bidder...

Too bad Mandarake no longer lists any Macross cels for direct sale....they all get posted for auction....it's been years since I've seen any listed in their mailorder section... This is more appropriate I think.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41093
