Dang I don't have that one....need one

 

I hope they list these kind of things  soon. I remember Ron throwing in stuff like this with my orders back in the day.  I even ordered some Macross encyclopedias from him. Wish I still had those.

yes please grab the close up pics if you can. What is the mini Orguss poster?

 

Someone on the post asked him the same question. He replied with a close up of it.

It's pretty cool isn't it. I haven't seen them list it on ebay yet though.

Depends on your definition of "astronomical"....based on his sold listings for empty Macross "boxes"....it seems the minimum entry fee for one of his boxes will be north of $150 shipped...

 

I didn't even see those put up, they must have sold fast. I did notice the date was after I had asked about them. I wish he had sent me a message and gave me a price for one. It is a lot to spend on an empty box but they are historical and not many have survived.

Here's some of the Facebook pics from that post. The Orguss mini poster was some kind of promotional flyer I think.

Wiseguys got "wise" on the value of empty Macross shipping boxes....🤑

Haha! Yep. I would still like to buy one if the price isn't astronomical. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who inquired about them. Maybe I should have asked for an Ideon one, something not as popular.

Here is a screenshot of his original post. I'll see if I can get the pictures.

He used the Votoms shipping box like a shopping cart to carry his purchases. Lol. I wonder if he is a member here.

I've ordered from them three times (and there is still more I want) and have been very happy so far. I used to order from Ron back in the early 90s so it is great to get some of these that are from his stock. I saw on a Facebook page last weekend someone had visited the warehouse and purchased a bunch of kits. In his photo he posted he had a Votoms shipping box so I asked if they were selling them. He said they gave it to him and if I contacted them they would probably ship my order in one. So I did and they said they would gladly ship it to me in a Macross one, it just might be a lot in shipping. I had no problem paying the extra but when I got my order it was in a normal box, never did pay extra in shipping (I did ask how much it would be but they never answered)  I totally understand if they want to sell them, they are cool and unique items, but when I tried to contact them again I didn't get a response.
