Loop

Yeah I saw that movie, I want to go there so bad.

But they are Cali ninjas I got them to change their minds when they arrived in Seattle. I bribed them with good coffee and a really great Sushi place down the road from my house. I let them inspect my collection, and while doing so they told me the story behind the picture posted earlier in this thread. It was what I had suspected, it was really a picture of 2 ninjas, 1 of which posed as an umbrella.

I pre-ordered my Metal Build Exia / Repair III from Big Bad Toystore in FEB. Does anyone know if they are reliable on these types of orders? I have heard nightmare stories when it came to the Bandai DX v2's, but maybe that only applies to that toy line. They did come through though on my Project BM! 1/6 Kaneda and Bike a few years back.

Which version of plus are we all referring to? There was a lot of debate over whether the OVA or the movie version was better.

LOL, thats a great find.

Awesome job Chronocidal! I wish I had an extra 19 that I was willing to mod. I was supposed to buy a duplicate a while back, but let it slide....

That's starting to sound like a great idea.

Yeah, the YF-19 situation is a sad affair. Graham had also dropped a hint a while back about the VF-0...... I was hoping they were going to make a renewal version that would be able to be armored Hah! now I know who to look out for! No one uses umbrellas up here So if I see an umbrella, it is likely one of Exo's ninja's, or a tourist.

LOL, maybe if we keep going Seattle will become the North American Macross mecca.

I'm not getting a good feeling from the Arcadia shenanigans

Update on current panic buys 1/60 YF-19 Double Nuts 1/60 VF-1S Super Hikaru Combo (TV) 1/60 VF-1A SVF-26 Cavaliers 1/60 VF-11B Thunderbolt w/ Super Parts 1/60 VF-19 Custom Fire Basara Nekki 1/60 VF-19S Emerald Force 1/60 VF-19F Emerald Force 30th Anniversary 1/60 17D with Super Pack 30th Anniversary 1/60 VF-17S Diamond Force 1/60 Super Pack for VF-17 30th Anniversary 1/60 VF-1A Movie with Optional Parts 30th Anniversary 1/48 VF-1A Max TV (Chronicles Exclusive NIB) Found it hugely under valued on Mandarake. Maybe one of the best deals I have gotten ever.

3 more sets of armor for me to buy LOL.

I thought those were notorious for chipping the paint on the wing due to the design.... Am I wrong? Looks nice though.

I just got a unopened NIB 1/48 VF-1A Max TV

I started back around when David locked the thread of my post about the YF-19 LOL! I did not know at the time about starting new topics about something when a thread exists. The YF-19 thread was huge at the time. Anyways my list is in the link in my sig.

I almost bought a Unicorn several times, but Macross has always taken the front seat in my collection. The Fix Figuration Metal composite MSZ-006A1/C1[bst] Z Plus blue version I bought just for looks I have only changed it to the beast mode robot mode and put it into a display case. The Metal build line is where it's at though. I have the Metal Build 00 Seven Sword, the 0 Raiser + GN Sword, and the Metal Build Freedom. I like them a lot, they have a good feel to them and are really poseable ,overall really good quality figures. The GFF Metal composite line Unicorn is said to be pretty cool, but not very poseable.

If Arcadia continues to make valks, I hope they re release the VT-1 as I have one but would like another. This will also help fill the void of users that don't have one. I just happened to get all of the 2 seaters as I was a freak about them. I actually got my orig release v2 Elint and VT-1 on sale. I would also like to see sound force completed. It seemed like Yamato were hinting at the Mylene VF-11, but I could have been reading too much into the pics I saw.

I collected all of the v2's from Yamato with the exception of the weathering versions and the YF-29 25th Anniversary and the Bird of Prey variant of the YF-19. I currently also have all the releases thus far in the Bandai Mac F renewal line + the Alto YF-29 and the 30th YF-29. If I run across a bird of prey I might buy it. Iwas more focused on the "cannon" schemes and somehow let the bird of prey slip by. I did secure a double nuts from a user here on the boards. I just plain did not like the 25th Anniversary scheme YF-29 at all. I am not sure how many more of the Bandai renewals they are planning on making, but I want to complete that collection. Beside Macross, I was not planning on any Gundams until Veef sold me on the Fix Figuration Metal composite MSZ-006A1/C1[bst] Z Plus blue version. From there I moved on the "metal build" line and think I will continue with that line if they keep making them.

I am strictly keeping it to Yamato Macross buys that were because of the news. I don't think it is necessary to list all my other toys I have bought since Jan. From Jan 2012 to now, I have spent the most ever on collectibles and the list is huge lol. I am actually wondering if I went overboard with my panic buy list, I guess I could let some of them go If I decide that was the case. I already have at least one of each thing on my list of panic buys in my collection already.

My personal collection is pretty much complete, with the exception of the weathered edition v2's, the Bird of prey YF-19 and the 25th Anniversary YF-19. That being said I bought all of these for the closet: 1/60 VF-1A SVF-26 Cavaliers 1/60 VF-1A Movie with Optional Parts 30th Anniversary 1/60 VF-11B Thunderbolt w/ Super Parts 1/60 VF-19 Custom Fire Basara Nekki 1/60 VF-19S Emerald Force 1/60 VF-19F Emerald Force 30th Anniversary 1/60 VF-19P Planet Zola Patrol Color 1/60 VF-17S Diamond Force 1/60 Super Pack for VF-17 1/60 VF-17D with Super Pack 30th Anniversary

Yeah I had a total brain fart lol and mis read the post.

I also missed out on the YF-19. I was mulling over it for too long and missed the boat. I really wanted to add one more Guld to my collection.

Weird, I have heard they ripped off a user in the blacklist thread. I also tried to communicate with them several times and they never replied back... I guess maybe it's not a zombie site, just eating dollars away and not shipping items.

STAY AWAY FROM OVERDRIVE! You have been warned. They are super shady now. At one time they were good, but somehow they fell off hard. They do not communicate at all when e-mailed, and someone here got ripped off in the black list thread. Look at their last blog post date lol. http://www.over-drive-inc.com/overdrive-blog/

No doubt, I think this is the one of the single biggest valk purchases I ever made. Which variants are you referring to? Yeah I really want to see this box. Or maybe even boxes?
