    yeah...but why would a kid want action figures over a 1/55 transforming VF-1? LOL

    Anyway, I guess the closest thing to action figures would have been the vinyl and rubber toys from Takatoku and Ohsato...

    Sure is. Imagine if they did made them. Action figures were not their forte. in 1983 and 1984

    found the stationary/binder/paper bin...pretty sure all these have been posted, but now I can have my stuff in one post so I know what to search for next 😛

    first are the notepads, then the soft folders/paperback cover, then the hard folders, then coloring books

    front/back or back/front, sometimes I don't even know

    The ONE thing they have never made in 1983-1984 was action figures!

    I just went through all the pages and documented what I'm missing

    2 sketchbooks(will be difficult to find for <$100)
    1 binder(stupid hair variant)
    1 notebook(surprised I don't have it)
    1 memo book(the rarest I think, never saw it before)
    1 SD Macross Notebook( I only saw 1 time on Mercari years ago. It looked similar to the SD Macross Shita)
    1 coloring book with weird VF-1J

    They really really really milked this franchise on goods 😛

    But we three like the merchandise. Was never a gundam fan, but Macross is like a good friend to us.

    Mentioned it before, we just have time on our side, and finding the cheap stuff like notebooks is sometimes harder than the expensive stuff

    If one sees a macross notepad in a drawer that you don't want, are you going to spend any effort in trying to sell it to make perhaps $5
    Nah-you just close the drawer.

    You have a takatoku though, now you have $200

    All the paper stuff like flyers and stuff get infinitely harder to find as time passes as its just not worth the effort to recover a couple hundred yen, if that.

    I always try to find the rarer stuff. I do have most of the notebooks that came out in 1984. Do you have another Macross yellow book cover that you can sell me?
