My Takatoku 1/55 VS-1S with fast pack set.

It has been with me for nearly 30 years.

I still remember my dad bought it for me from a toy shop at HKD 135, which is less than USD 20, at that time.

HKD 135 was a big money for a 7 year old kid, I could never forget the price tag of this super valkyrie.

...enjoy~~

a shop in richmond 2nd floor always mark the price neerly same as the dealer price, just make 10-20 dollers(HKD) profit.

There's no way for toy shops making only hkd 10-20 profit! That's unacceptedly low.

One of my friends used to have a toy shop at Richmond. He told me toy shops in HK often get their goods from distributors in this way:

Take an example of Super Stealth.

The suggested resale price in Japan is 14,800 yen, which is roughly hkd 1,036 (100yen = hkd 7). Distributors sell to toy shops base on 14,800 yen, with the currency exchange rate tuned to 100yen=hkd4 - 100yen=hkd5, depending on the quantities.

By selling a Super Stealth at hkd 1,000, toy shop still makes hkd 260-408 profit!!!

Sadly, my friend didn't sell any Yamato valks or I could get them at even lower prices....

VF-0S are still available on 2/F, 3/F of Sino Center

But the price has gone up to HK$980 (used to be $860-$890)

I always buy my valks from the shop at the dead end of 16/F of CTMA Center.

Paid HK$780 for my Low Vis 2

and HK$1,020 for my Super Stealth

Just bought myself a Low Viz 2 (officially released in Hong Kong today)

But need to wait for 1 more month for the camo GBP armor

Will Yamato release camo Valk+Armor in one set? like the Stealth Valk+Fast Pack set?

My low viz 1 & 2

Good news to you guys who'll go to HK next month.

Yammie 1/48 VF-1J FP is available at Kanto and Animate in Hong Kong now.

VF-1J FP

HKD 1,000 / USD 128

VF-1J non-FP

HKD 700 / USD 90

How about this one?

Black heatshield + Red skull.......

here is something i can't understand

why would anybody buy those old macross valk toys! the other day on e-bay i saw one going for more than a yamato...which is obviously better!

I mean i know they are vintage and all but man do they look like crap!!!!

i mean really people just take a good look at them!!!!

anybody have any thoughts?

I understand why people buy old Taka 1/55...

But I can't understand why prople buy Bandai 1/55 re-releases.... they're just old-looking NEW toys

Being a lefty, I was curious if any of the characters fired their gunpods with the left hand? Maybe, it didn't matter and all pilots were trained to fire it with the right hand, or the controls were configured for lefties, but the Battroid still fired the gunpod with its right hand? I'm gonna look out for this when I watch the series and movie this weekend, if I get a chance.

The Gun Pod is a BULLPUP !!!

(case ejection port goes behind the trigger)

So, Battroid must fire the gunpod with is right hand

About Miria's VF-1J, you need to use Max's VF-1J to defeat her in the Pine Salad stage (not the 1A)

Hi thee,

I was not using a VF-1A, I was using a VF-1J with blue paint scheme to fight Miria in the Pineapple Salad stage via the free battle option and I won but I did not get any new cards. I suppose you cannot get any cards from the free battle option.

You need S-rank in order to get Miria's 1J

Yep, I'll try!

Do you know if you can get the chance to pilot a yf/vf-19 and the thunderbolt?

Thanks in advance,

Manu

PD: thans a lot, w_maker!

Sadly, I haven't seen any YF-19 game on PC...

See if you're good at typing

There are 2 typing games based on Macross for PC

VT-1 Super Ostrich is supposed not able to transform into Battroid mode. Only Fighter and Gerwalk modes, as stated in the official Macross description on VT-1. (This desciption is also printed on the box of Hawasage VT-1....in Japanese.... )

This is why in PS2 Macross game, you can't transform VT-1 into Battroid.

I don't know why Yamato has made a Battroid-transformable VT-1.

So how do you go about getting Hikaru's 1S and Max's 1S (I assume those are the 2 remaining ones I'm missing, well besides Focker's 1S which I am working on).

In a Japanese forum, someone says

Hikaru VF-1S: achieve 18 S-ranks

Max VF-1S: achieve 16 S-ranks

How about Macross VO?

You can use not just VF-1 but also Regult, Q-Rau, etc in this game

The Japanese words on the bag say something like ".....do not eat..... for weight adjustment....."

The black bag is just a weight adjustment and that's all

Thanks

looks like it's a design flaw .....

I'm new to Yamato 1/60 VF-1...

Could anyone teach me the proper way in attaching the legs to the chest in gerwalk mode?

See my pic...

The two pin things prevent me from attaching the second leg to the right place.

Is there anything to do with the 2 pin things?

Complete Mission P-09 "Pine Salad" (the one you fight Milia above the sea) with rank S and get TV-colored VF-1A Max Type

Hey guys,

Are the Kaiyodo Figures / ToYs available in Hong Kong yet ? If yes, I could ask my friends who are visiting HK this week to get them for me.

Regards

what is the scale? looks small

Kaiyodo Figures were out last Sat in HongKong.

Around HKD190 (USD25) per set in MongKok (some shops sell at $32 a set <_< ; the cheapest I saw so far is $23 , but sold out already )

About the sizes, see the attached pic

On top of the display box is Yamato 1/60 VT-1

you'll know roughly how big are the figures
