great work nick, you got skills or too much time on your hands
-
i dont think he is selling for 60 shipped though....thats a lil low IMO
-
that might be another reason why people would want the VF MPC's Because they are super happy with their MPC Alphas that they want to get the whole set
-
Oh so most of the reasons why people like the Toynami is the same reason I hate them... I could care less about 1. Robotech Name 2. Limited production and crappy numbers 3. Known production amount (even though now they are saying they never finished the production run... that means it more rare... what it really means is nobody wanted them) 4. numbered boxes. 5. good marketting?.. it's great marketting!!! With Toynami, it's 95% hype and 5% product. thats why you aren't their target market, but hey you bought up the MPC Alphas
-
come on, it should be about the same price as the Fast Packs, i say around 60 to 75, nothing more anything more than 75 would be a rip off as for the 1:48 Bundle i except to see the same prices as the VF-1J's with FP's around 160 to 180 Also look at the 1:60 with GBP, it sells for 90 bucks now, and the GBP sells for 35 not that expensive

OK, I think there are a couple of reasons why MPC's are going for so much. First off, i beleive most MPC collectors are aware of 1/60 Yamato Valks, and dont like them. I hated the pop off leg action and it really bugged me. (even though i ended up atleast one of each mold) I actually bought a 1/60 VF-1s way before MPC's were released and thought it was a piece of crap. I paid like 60 bucks for it and hated it. If you played with it, it would get all floppy and end up looking like crap. When i first saw 1:48's in stores i already hated 1:60's and thought the 1:48s were just super sized versions of the pop off leg action valks. Without research i think many other robotech collectors out there wouldn't know the differance and aren't willing to spend 100+ on a pop off leg action valk. With MPC's, i like them more than i like the 1:60's and i think basic collectors prob will too. They have the feel of the old school bandai valks but with added detail. The Fast Packs for the MPC's (when you can get them to stay on) are way better than the 1:60 rubber feeling fast packs. Also another reason why MPC's are going for so much is that we all know how many were made. They are numbered on the box, and with 1:48's they just keep making them. You dont know how many are out there, there were never any production numbers released. Also just when you think you are getting something rare like teh vf-1s (1:48) they go and make a 3rd wave.......With the MPC vf-1s, you know they arent going to make anymore, atleast not in that same box. Summary Main Reasons: 1. Collectors left with bad taste from 1:60 valks (may think 1:48'S are OVERSIZED 1:60s 2. Robotech Name Recognition 3. Limited Production with individually numbered and signed boxes 4. Known Production Amount 5. Numbered Boxes on the outside, so it pisses you off when you are missing a number (IE 1, 3, 4, 5) 6. Good Marketing plan from Toynami to get the MPC Name out, and Good Stock photos

i tried to order stuff from them maybe 6 months ago, and the stuff i ordered never came in......the site doesn't really work -
as a side note, i think its neat how Takara has reissued some diaclone repaints of transformer figs: IE Diaclone Magnus, Diaclone Sideswipe, and the newest one, the Diaclone Insecticon Set (through E-Hobby)
-
I think the one on the site is not the TRU exclusive one

EXO Posted this on AP: Thought i should share it here: "Man, I'm excited about this news. While I wasn't too impressed with the story of Gasaraki, I was blown away by Yutaka Izubuchi's design of the TAs, the bipedal tanks of the show. Now Max Factory has released photos of their upcoming figures set to be released next year. I'm assuming these are going to be die cast, because of the company releasing it...
