Gene- hurry up and post your custom collection. I've been checking out all the custom threads but I'd be interested in seeing the Blue Roses together.

great work as usual Jung!

I know you used to be able to get them on eBay for ~ $15-$18/pop. I'm going to wait though as I think they've got a whole new series coming out in a few months (and these ones won't be shorts).

Pretty cool Vader, what type of assembly was required?

Looks good. I need to get some cabinets for my stuff this month but I'd really like something that had more horizontal space for more interesting dioramas.

Good prices too for those Ikea pieces. Keeps the dust off!

Hmmm. so it's supposed to be like the boat rolled under the bridge? Or simply that it rolled over and recovered. It's setup to look like it's rolled under the bridge but if that's the case, how did the barge get to the other side?

Unless a lot of time elapsed between pics right>?

bigkid - I've tried searching for them and no luck.  Don't even know a good query to use on Google and I'm pretty good at searching.  Did Yamato make these?

Not as good as I am!!!

True... I choked and forgot to change my default search settings to something greater than 30 days.

Wow, those prices are crazy. That someone would buy these actually gives me hope that someone will buy my brother's Boba Fett motorcycle statue I'm eBaying now.

Don't get me wrong, those are cool helmets but wow, I'd really have to win the lottery before coming home with one of those or I'd be sleeping and eating from it.

The Toynami Appx A are going for insane prices. I remeber thinking people were crazy buying them for $75 a couple of months ago. To put it in perspective, I sell my MPC Roys for around that much!

Edit - holy jehovah! I thought my bid was pushing it on this auction.

Ovatak - from what I understand, yeah, the picture is of the 2nd issuing.

Can you PM me the website?

Right on. I've got no issues with Toynami but I know some people on this board do. Did he catch a lot of flak from others?

I've got the Robotech ones. Not really poseable. Like Legos on steroids but cool for the price.

Edit - they've also got the set of 4 Alpha Super Poseables for $20... that's not too shabby.

I've bought from him before and received my goods in fine condition. Though I'm not surprised that some people have had less than great experience. We're pretty spoiled by Kev, Tam and Neova.

I voted no but wonder if they might re-release stuff in Sept-Nov for the holiday season.

This should probably be made a sticky topic!

From a thread posted ~ month ago, found using the search feature....

Granted, it's a Hikaru, but same idea.

^^^ I've purchased from Valktronics a few times and he's a good guy. He's always sold the MPCs at market price (~ $36.99 for a Ben, $45 for a Max). These listings are obviously errors since he's got other 'Archers for a fair price (and he lists pictures).

Wow... awesome work. Some people are very lucky!

For going out of his way to get me a Low Vis at cost, I'd have to nominate Bariaburu Faita as being as straight a straight shooter as this board could have. My item got lost in customs but if you check the tracking info, it shipped when he said it did... wasn't his fault. Everything worked well....

Wow, thanks a lot!

Don't forget that the bookend market wil likely go down since (as already stated) there are 500 of the first set, will be 200 of this set and there will likely be some sort of New Gen set coming out soon. This glut of bookends will cause all of them to even out in price since demand will level out a bit. For example, I'd like a set of bookends but I won't pay more than $300 for them. I'm going to try to get at least one of this set or at the very least one of the New Gen sets.

Interesting regarding Yamato and the LV. I agree, they could make a pretty buck by re-releasing them since they're already all purchased (in their eyes) but it could hurt their reputation and affect any future 'limited editions'.

The real question will be if they re-release the 1S'...

I'm game to play!

man, what were the first editions going for?

Last I checked, around $350 or so. I imagine with these on the market (and the rumored Next Gen ones coming soon) that this will drive demand for the first edition down. Also the first edition as limited to 500 and this batch is limited to 200 or so.

^^ you aren't referring to those vending machines that give out 'worn' items are you?

eugimon is correct. The 'velcro' test is not 100% accurate since some people have reported having re-issues with velcro. Though if yours doesn't have velcro, you know for sure it's a re-issue. If it has velcro, it could be either.

Look for the scooped out head-rest.

Looks good. What kind of paint did you use on the missiles?

Heh -

... you even used the same technique on your keyboard!
