My Green Mospeada Gakken Alpha fighter and Ride Armour guy....and any other toys I could carry out or throw out the door. I really like these molds and they are much rarer than many of my other macross and transformers toys whicj could be replaced. I agree with lives first. This would all come after I made sure my family was out safely and I was not risking my life to save the toys.

1. VA-3 Invader. The most unique looking variable aircraft in all of macross! Please make one 2. VF-4 Lightning and VF-5000 would also be winners. I like how yamato is going for valkries that look different than the standard VF-1 Valkrie. Like the SV-51. Now give me a VA-3 and I would be very happy. 3. An awe inspiring large SDF-1 with lots of detail and poseability would make all the other toy companies jealous.

Finally a variable airframe that could be made into a new toy that is unique and stands out as being somewhat different from the standard VF, 19, and 21 toys. I love the VF, 19 and 21 toys but at some point I just want something new, cool and original. The SV-51 in those pictures looks totally awesome and if Yamato made one I would snap it up faster than a tornado picks up a trailer. Now Yamato.....bring on the 1/60 SV-51 AND the VA-3 Intruder. And throw in the SDF-1 while your'e at it. I thank you. We need some sort of code language with Graham so that we can communicate new stuff and not anger the powers that be at Yamato...

I get mostly positive reactions. My collection is displayed in a nice glass and wood cabinet with a sliding glass door. I think sometimes the difference between an appreciative reaction or a negative reaction has a lot to do with how the collection is presented. For those that completely don't get it...It is not so much a matter of them thinking less of me as I think less of them. I honestly think to myself .."what kind of person is unable to find anything cool about these things that are so cool?" Then I throw them out of my house!

I am glad Yamato is going to do the YF-19 in 1/60 scale. But....the toy has already been done by Bandai. It was far from perfect but fine for me. I would like Yamato to do give us something new and exciting like the VF-5000 or the VF-4 lightning. If they did something radical like the VA-3 invader I would pass out with joy. Of the VF-17 Nightmare or the YF-19 I would have preferred that they redo the VF-17. If they did a VF-17 nightmare that the plane mode was dark blue or black and looked excaclty like the stealth fighter that would be awesome! Don't get me wrong, I 'm glad they are doing the YF-19. I am just interested in something that has not already been done as a toy.

http://www.bbts.com/bbts/product.aspx?prod...096&mode=retail The link is above. Price - $164.99 Arrives April 2006 The Website is Bigbadtoystore.com. I am not affiliated with the site although I buy toys from them. Way cool!

Many thanks for all the information! I'm going to buy the toy.

I have money to buy some toys for a change. I am considering the Koenig Monster. I remember less than ecstatic reviews back when it came out. I personnaly was very excited to see the toy come out , but the reviews describing pegs that may pop off over time and no knee joints in robot mode kind of softened my desire for the toy. Can anyone give me the lowdown on is this a "buy" or a "pass" toy? I only have a certain amount of money and I don't want to spend it on a toy that I am not going to be happy and proud of. Thanks in advance.

Mine broke too. Recently, I just tried to pose it in battroid and the leck didn't even "pop" like most plastic does....the leg just kind of fell off!?!? And people say the MPC quality is crappy!! No offense to you MPC haters... I am just venting too. It stinks when a toy you spend $60-$70 on basically falls apart on you. I really like the design of the vf-11b. Oh well, I put the leg back on and transformed it to plane mode and have it diplayed on it's good side. I may attempt to permanently fix it when I can take time from the other ten thousand things I need to get done.

Nothing can stop the Juggernaut!!!!!! That would be so cool to see spidey fight the Juggernaut. Venom would also be cool. I like the Rhino too, but he is pretty similar to Juggernaut except not as powerful.

Are there any rules for posting a collection. I finally have my toys in a proper display case and would like to share pictures of them. Can one even post pictures of a collection on macrossworld? Thanks in advance!

1/35 Gakken ride armour is my favorite. Out of all the toys that I have it is one of the few that even my wife (who couldn't care less about toys) says is cool. I like my 1/55 valkries next.

I picked up my VF-11B for the first time in a year and the leg just kind of dropped off in my hand. There was no pop or crunch that one usually hears when a part breaks on a plastic toy. Does anyone know where to get a replacement part? I am wondering if I might be better off to just buy the fastpack version. But I want my $$ to go toward newer toys, not to replace toys I have already bought. Anyone got any help for me?

Thanks for the advice Haterist and Fulcy. Looks like 3/8 inch for me. I hate to spend toy money on glass for a display case...but if one of the shelves failed all the shelves under that shelf would fail as well. Must protect awesome collection from being trashed! After I get the display set up I will take pictures and post them.

There is a furniture store that is closing around my house. They had a Huge curio/display cabinet with real wood and a sliding glass door. Originally $850...it had a mirror in the back lower half that is cracked and is missing the shelves. I offered them $100 and they said OK Hooray! What does the thickness of the glass need to be in order to not break under the weight of many toys? The shelf will be 40 inches long and 14 inches deep. I have heard 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch. 1/4 inch - about $28 each shelf 3/8 inch - about $50 each shelf 1/2 inch - didn't ask I want to buy the 1/4 inch because of the cost. But will 1/4 inch hold up under die cast valkries and huge Koenig Monsters? Especially since the glass will be long and only supported on either end? Help?

Sounds like Graham and Yamoto both acted in good faith but circumstances just riuned a good thing. At least we had the insisde scoop for a period of time. Better than never having it at all. Who knows, perhaps at some point the individuals that were friends at Yamoto will feel free to contact Graham again. I am sure they wil be well recieved.

Hooray! The Konig Monster has knees that bend. This was also the big hangup for me. My birthday is in February. I shall be getting one of these. The size compared to the 1/48 Valkrie is very impressive. This thing may have won Toy of the Year over at Toyboxdx if it would have been released before 12/15. After seeing those pics of this toy...I am more excited than I have been in a long time. This toy seems to be as cool as MPC Prime or SOC Dancouga. And those toys are tops in my book. Someone else mentioned Fortress Maximus.....Man I have got to get that toy. It is huge!

I am nervous about in Robot Mode no movement in the knees.

Evertime I go and drool at the pictures of the upcoming Koenig Monster I get concerned regarding one aspect of the toy... Poseability in one major area. Knees in robot mode: The toy appears to have no knees. Also far less important but worth bringing up. Waist joint? I will still probably buy it because it is so cool. These are not deal breakers but I sure would like the toy to be poseable for the cost. What do you think?

Looks like the quality of materials is very high. The level of finish looks great as well. I think you pay for these particular models as you go along. Congratulations! Your life is forever changed. Hang in there it gets more fun as they get older.

I like the Spartan and the Auroran. They both are extremely cool. They are a nice diversion from the valkries. I love the valkrie design of course. I have wondered to myself if I could scratch build a transfroming aruroran. I don't think I could do as good of a job as some other people but I sure would have fun trying.

Yoda did say in Empire Strikes back that Wars do not make one great. However, he did not say that war was never worth fighting or that war was never necessary. Starwars IV-VI are all about the rebels fighting in a war against the evil empire. I think Yoda would support the rebels. After all, he trained Luke for a reason.

Devastator. I wish they would make a diecat masterpiece version of this toy! Let's let Takara get out of the financial issues it is going through first. Banadai maybe could purchase the rights to Devastatror? I can dream can't I? I just like cool toys...I don't care where they come from.

Amen! Rest in Peace Christopher. Thanks for reminding us to never give up. We salute you.
