  1. Ok thanks, perfect time to spank some cash on a self destruct device with the VF-4G re-issue on the horizon!
  2. Yeah that's the general idea alright but is there much movement of the arms required to get the armour on? Fingers crossed.
  3. I've been watching Frontier again and my desire for a -171 has once again resurfaced. I'm not interested in the Alto EX really I like the Luca RVF but..... I seriously considered the Maruyama for pre-order but it's the f**king CF I want the most - with armour (I wish there was an ELINTSEEKER type) My eyes are OPEN regarding the flaws with the original toy. I know the armour parts are 6.5-7k yen but how much do you think I should be paying for the CF Valk AMIB (Allegedly Mint in Box) My plan is for it to be a fighter mode only display piece.......
  4. Thanks Spanner. I'd love to invoke some Saburo power and black out the background but that will require research (insert how to video here) and the hijacking of my wife's Nikon!
  5. Was a little bored with Brera's pose (previously canon slung over his shoulder) so got busy with the flight-pose....... "Some day my beam canon will be useless too........." Cue Skull Squadron knife frenzy!
  6. Less than 37k shipped I'm buying. There, I've set myself a target. I will most likely waiver of its close but one can always hope it will be less. "Song of hope, ring out across the galaxy".
  7. That is spectacular work eggy. I love it. Would you do mine!?!

    Valk values?

    Macross Collectibles Market Watch a good start. post your collection in the for sale/wanted section and ask for offers - another option. You don't have to take the first offer you get. Maybe have a look at Mandarake and see what your items have been selling for (show unavailable items) Or ignore the pissed up Yankee fan who just watched the post season dry up and do whatever they say below...............
  9. If it keeps Arcadia going then I'm all for it. Obviously the fact that I wish to add it to my collection is important but in the long run it's better to have 2 manufacturers creating variable fighters than 1 so I'm happy to prop up Arcadia by buying this re-issue. Tempted to buy 2 (if I get the chance this time round) and potentially customise 1 of them to FB2012 but I'm no longer confident in my airbrushing skills so maybe just 1.
  10. I can't contemplate any Mecha that comes close to the coolness of Macross Valks For fighter mode the YF-19 gets my vote over the VF-4G (Yukikaze ffr-31 and ffr-41 are also spectacular designs) But fighter mode alone does not the greatest Valk make imhop Fave Battroid goes to VF-0 - that thing looks mean GERWALK - hard to beat VF-1 but the VF-25/7 looks great in said form But all around righteousness and ultimate honours goes to the good old VF-1(S MAX with supers) - Looks so right in every mode.
  11. True but hopefully more palatable than the aftermarket has gotten.
  12. I'm sorry for those folks dying to get their hands on a tan nosed FB VF-4, a bit of a disappointment I'll grant you. I'm delighted for me (and many others) though who didn't get one of these first time around. I'd love to say it was patience paying off that means I might get one at MSRP this time, but in honesty it had more to do with the scary aftermarket prices!
  13. Finally dressed mine up and put her on display today. Took a bit of rearranging to make room for it. She's a big bird with all the armour. Sorry for the crappy phone pic.
  14. Finally stumped up and bought a Brownie! Snagged it on ebay for £81. Insurance policy incase any zentran/regults/vajra break into my house, this should take the heat and keep the rest of my collection safe!
  15. I think I have to have that Ranka figure alright. Not that I need any more.........
  16. Nice purchases guys. Gaaahhh, that -0A is so sweet Spanner. Your bloody pictures keep making me want one. That -25A is a great looking Valk too zplus, but I've promised myself I'm getting a Brownie before I get a -25A
  17. I have a -0D (and love it) and I have ordered a -OS (because the -0A turned out so well I regret not snagging one but S is cooler!)
  18. The first Macross I watched was Plus. I bought the DVD box-set around 2001. I was at that time oblivious to the rest of the saga. I do however own a gen1 Jetfire transformer and had seen models of what looked just like my transformer but in some weird hybrid (GERWALK) mode. One evening after drinking much scotch (as I am wont to do on occasion) I started googling the Jetfire toy and this led to the discovery of VF-1 and the rest of the Macross universe. It was around this time Zero (and that glorious opening with the Tomcats and Mig-29s) was in the works. Needless to say after getting my teeth into SDFM (loved it) and DYRL (loved it) and then 7 (yawn - did it have to be that long?) I was peeing my pants with excitement for Zero (which has grown on me with ever viewing). Didn't watch Frontier until it was over and I had all the episodes to binge on - but loved the ride. Can't wait for the next one.
