Pretty nice character art...a nice break from all the Risa Ebata Macross stuff.....

Variable Fighter Episode Archives Vol 1

Ugh....saw this and thought some 3P was finally going to release Toynami's vinyl Glaug.....
-
Thanks for ID-ing the artist...great stuff! His Star Wars illustrations make Star Wars cooler than it really is...
-
Are these illustrations from somewhere? Or just fanart?........ignoring all the Robotech buzz being associated with the pics...they are both very well done....Anyone know who is(are) the illustrator(s)?
-
A Mazinger Z movie would probably make the average movie goer say that it is a Pacific Rim ripoff....just like they would likely say a Robotech movie is like a Tranformers ripoff.......

No idea if the emulator is compatible....but it costs you nothing to try.... Just go to the Google Play Store and download/install MAME4droid.... Once installed search for Macross ROMs in the internet.....download them and run them using the emulator.....to make thing easier store the ROMs in the MAME4droid's ROM folder...that way thee games are selectable from the emulator's main menu.... Game on!

It's what a Mad Max film looks like when it needs to compete with comic book movies and a Star Wars movie franchise relaunch.....

Subversive encouragement!

The VF-1 will turn into this........
-
Next set that gets listed is all yours!.... I think EXO was working on new versions of his 1/60 Macross figurines.....maybe he can be persuaded into making a Firebomber set?
-
Fire Bomber!!!

Thanks for the info...opted for Amazon Japan.... http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4797382473/ref=pe_492632_159100282_TE_item

Add around 10% to final price and around $40 for shipping....should give you a good idea of market value outside of Japan... http://closedsearch.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/closedsearch?p=1%2F60+ve-1&aq=-1&oq=&ei=UTF-8&slider=0&auccat=0

Never get tired of this masterpiece.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?app=galleryℑ=4422

Well, OP bailed when stuff went upwards of $150....unless they don't want Bandai DX's....prices are still in his range....upper range of it admittedly...but still reasonable considering when he describes getting out of collecting valks....when was the last non-exclusive 1/48 released? 10+ years ago? Can't expect prices not to rise over time.... Athough that would be nice!
-
Dunno.....remove Arcadia valks from your shopping list and everything else seems reasonable....at least the new items being released, not recently discontinued stuff like the VF-25G (which will probably get a re-release anyway)...
-
I'm not an Orguss collector....but I'd buy this....
-
Well...there's this one too... http://m.ebay.com/itm/161576199166 Guess it's to make you feel you're getting a bargain for paying less than 100 bucks for a 20 dollar helmet?
-
Hard to say...but if you look at completed ebay auctions...you may be able to get a reasonable approximation of value...I'd say $70-100... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=vf-25f+-renewal&_from=R40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xdx+vf-25f+-renewal.TRS0&_nkw=dx+vf-25f+-renewal&_sacat= o

Well...maybe not improved....but it is new since the old one vanished like the SDF-1's fold system! List your inquiries on value here! Or...... An easy way to get an idea of current market prices for almost any Macross (or other Japanese) collectible.... 1) Start with the YJA closed auctions search: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/closedsearch/closedsearch?p=yf-21&aq=-1&oq=&ei=UTF-8&slider=0&auccat=0 2) In the search field enter what you are looking for....you may need to find out the Japanese words for some things...but for most Macross valks just use something like "1/55 VF-1J"...or get fancier by adding "マクロス"...the more specific you get, the more filtered the results....add words such as Bandai バンダイ, Takatoku タカトク, or Yamato やまと for searching specific brands.... 3) Go through the results and select at least a month or two of past sales/closed auctions.....note the final auction sale amount, add them up and divide that number by the number you are using for your sample......that will give you the average final auction value 4) Add about 10% to the final auction value average for proxy fees and local shipping....then add an amount based on the item for international shipping fee to your door...this will get you the price anyone looking for your item can expect to pay "on average" for the item if they were to buy it themselves directly from Japan via YJA...... ****note that this price is usually lower than what you would pay at a shop like Mandarake....the reason is because Mandarake needs to make a profit so they low-ball what they pay customers bringing in their collectibles for sale....basically just like a pawn shop does....so Mandarake prices are not really reflective of true open market prices........with that said, if you paid MSRP or less for an item, then selling it at "Mandarake prices" will most of the time mean you will end up selling for much more than what you originally paid for the item*** Other things to consider are the actual condition of the item, box, status of accessories, original paperwork and decals, and anything else that originally may have been included with the item you are trying to determine value. In my experience, missing or damaged boxes take away up to 30% or more of the "average value". Missing accessories and anything else can remove about 10% for each item missing. Anything broken will remove 30-50% or more depending on how badly or how important the broken part is to the overall functionality of the collectible. There are so many other factors also involved that will ultimately determine the value of your item. It will ultimately go down to how much you are willing to "let it go" for and how much your buyer is willing to splurge on it. In short, if you can determine the "average" value of your item, you will be better equipped to make a deal that will be fair to both you and your buyer and sell quickly. Good Luck!

That was a VF-X-4...I think...
