much nicer orguss custom than the two I made. Probably why I don't have them anymore. Now I soooo want a jm strike cannon... or three

I've been wanting a few custom 1/55 boxes myself. They aren't that cheap to make though. The guy who does the custom decepticon jetfires with custom box broke down the procedure for me and lord knows I'd rather pay somebody to do it oh yeah... a true drunk would have passed out at the keyboarddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

I find this funny. Toynami is american and made in china, yamato is either chinese or japanese and made in china hmm... how do you come up with a japanese car compared to an italian one Yamato = Acura Toynami = Chevy maybe that'd work a lil better Problem is, honda makes good cars that CAN last that long with proper maintenance. 345805[/snapback] don't insult chevy. Ford maybe, but chevy would bandai be volvo? Boxy but good

see... I prefer collecting "vintage" toys from my childhood. I had almost all the transformers as a kid and now that I am re-aquiring them I remember which ones sucked tremendous donkey genitailia and which ones were actually cool. Believe you me I won't be buying any gobots nor rock lords still... not counting buyers remorse... I guess any toy that disintigrated while removing it from the packaging lost it's luster pretty damn quick. A friend of mine broke the canopy of his yammie 19a when removing it from the package . I offered to buy it back from him but he declined and borrowed some super glue. Still a great toy despite hat... as opposed to a 11b with a leg removed in package

it's called a "gravity well" people. If you are already in orbit all you have to do is drop rocks

may the fleas of a thousand camels infest the genitals of anybody who condems foul language that isn't directly describing their pussy asses. IN other words... those who oppress the spoken word can take an arial copulation with the vertically challenged and gravity impaired

hope it wasn't a girlfriend I know my wife gets super pissed everytime a toy hits her in the head

I buy a lot of stuff off ebay. OK... I don't buy a lot of stuff of ebay but a lot of the stuff I buy is from ebay. The shortest time period was - 2 weeks. Yep.. Been two weeks since I paid and haven't had the desire to touch the item since before I won and I haven't even recieved it yet. I'll probably transform it once just to make sure everything is as described but after that... into a box it goes. the most expensive short lived honeymoon was getting the sub-frame welded on my camaro the day after I bought it! I still love the car but even with a 327 I've never briken 100mph in the car. The car can do it but I must be getting old when something like "built before seatbelts were required" makes me behave oh wait... did anybody mention toynami

a 1/55. Look at the underside of the back plate for manufacturers mark. As for buried treasure... not in that condition. Still a cool toy to play with.

as allways... or perhapps ass-always I am refering to both. I want the bandai ve, not the hase. I have most of the hase ve... to mount on my bandai hcm vf... I like the durability of toys and the detail of models.... combine them and I'm in heaven... or at least I would be if I didn't have to do the friggin work . Try puting a post in the wanted section... with pics. I had some patlabor stuff a while back. I had no idea what it was, besides what was written on the kit, and off it went somewhere... probably ebay. The point is that a. the wanted section can be of great use [at least if bobe ever give me head!!!], and many people don't know what they have unless they see a pic. Case in point... frst time somebody offered me a "glaug" I responded... I want an officers pod... what the F is a "glaug"?

there is a newbies thread for how macross is different than robotech. many people read it and learn before posting. Myself I couldn't give a crap... it's all about the toys. Yeah toynami makes valks... which are at best a cross between the better aspects of a 1/55 bandai/takatoku [durability and strength] and a yamato 1/60 [better detail and look] and are typically the worst of both worlds with extra wiring to break and batteries to leak. Check out the main forum to see what cool vintage stuff is out there and pick up a used jetfire or a cheap bandai re-issue. I am a bit of an oddball on the boards. Some people scream robotech sucks [most actually], some scream macross is for losers [mgrexx I believe], I scream "send me your broken 1/55's . A good toy is a good toy and I dont like knocking another company as all have merits depending on why you collect. A toy to dispay is one thing... a toy to bludgeon tour cousin into submission is an entirly different thing. The traditional takatoku/bandai/joons/matsushiro/etc are the most durable trasforming vf I have encountered. The yamato 1/60's were better detailed but had removable legs and non "jart" like nature... IE you couldn't kill your cousin on the first throw. Toynami, while 1/55, did not use the "traditional" molds and while they have better detail, their quality control sucked and durability is non-existent. On the other hand yamato clearly didn't have their heads up their asses when they released the mac+ valks. I never thought any toy on the planet could compare to my trusty jetfire/ macross 1/55, I was a die hard bandai fan... until I first laid my hands on the wonderful blue goodness [not blue at all like those perverse smurf hermaphraditic toadstool things] of the yamato 19a. A toy that had metal, a complex transformation, and looked good in all modes! such a far cry from the mass produced plastic crap that is fostered off on most americans. [by this I mean bandai's attempt to make a 19 even 50% as nice as the yammie 19a]. HEck...america is lame... you have to buy japanese re-issue g1 transfomers and have them shipped here if you want the guns to fire because american kids are to stupid to not aim them at their eyes. I blame kyle's mom entirely . "it's not my fault that my children were shooting flaming arrows strapped with TNT at eachother in the back yard while I was watching springer and eating ding-dongs... it's that antichrist mtv influence... we must make the world safer for my inbred mountain children..." and all the cool toys went away... Damn stupid people breeding faster than smart people. but if your just starting out... just do a macross robotech search on ebay in the toy section to see all the cool stuff that out there. Ask any questions you might have in one of the appropriate threads

you my friend, take a decided backseat to my demand of a re-issue elintseeker. Tell you what... I'll find what you want and you get me what I want and we'll trade sadly many things will never be reproduced and more than half of those few items reproduced won't compare to the originals. I just want a set of friggin jarts! Every garage sale I went to as a kid had them for less than a buck but try and find them now gonna have to make my own with crosbow bolts it looks like... at least with spring loaded broadheads I know somebody will get hurt before we get boared. Life is always more exciting on the way to the ER

whats the word... oh yeah... shelby anybody ever seen the "king cobra" in real life? I saw it in dupont when shelby's wife was selling it... now thats a car I'd like to drive... somewhere straight with no speed bumps. then again I think it would be fun to drive a 73' plymoth fury III from one end of the m1 to the other... C'mon... police roadbloks would be like speed bumps with the puny little british cars. The fun you could have with a hummer with a snowplow . I remember a warhammer gaming center manager in southampton showing me his super cool mucle car... a 3.9 litre capri six cylinder d-type jag... yeah... but a capri

said a1 to every hooker who ever gave him a hand job my mom thanks you for the tips by the way gt-40 vs ford gt... lets see... one was built to be a race car and did it's job well... the other was made to be able to go over a speed bump...

If I had a dollar for everytime I heard a sob story about some guy who had a cool car but sold it because of whatever, and now he's all broken up and whatnot.... Don't do it, you'll probably regret it later... 344676[/snapback] regrets for parting with her, or self-loathing because she falls apart in my yard... I guess I love her enough to part with her and have her go to a better home... sniff

where were you guys when I was selling the two I had oh well... I already told you who got them so you can harass them now

there was a carded piece o' bootleg that was smaller than a 1/55, exact same size as a 1/60. The legs came off but they probably weren't supposed to

monkey nugget has a toy of it... so does big-kid I believe. Macross booster and all.

Err... What's a JARTS? . 344114[/snapback] JARTS... lawn darts. Another wonderful toy that parents deemed to dangerous for their retarded inbred hick kids living in a trailer park so they sued and JART's are no longer availible. Picture a 1 foot plus dart you tried to throw so it would land in a hula-hoop 20 feet away between your friends legs. Kinda like "knivesies" but with darts and hulahoops great fun... I still have scars

forget about it. Waaaaaaaaay to friggin much. Buy a 19a instead. It's cheaper and full of blue goodness. I had a chance to get a 1st ed. 19 but got a second 19a instead... fewer problems and I love the game colors as that was how I first saw the 19

see... I went the other way... I loved my 19a so when I wanted another 19... I bought another 19a. I can always paint one if I want. nice fix

don't forget some members also have stores... http://www.valkyrie-exchange.com/frames.html kevin at valk exchange is one of the best friends a macross collector can have. He also has 1/60's in stock, as well as other goodies. monkeynugget, blackaces, and others also serve the community well... but I can't say they will have 1/60's at the moment. and as Die, Alien Scum! said... check the for sale section here as there are some really great deals. You just missed a great 1/60 deal chowser was selling so he could afford guns. I never said the members here were sane mind you... just that you could get good deals oh yeah... don't forget that there are also 1/55 macross toys which can double as JARTS

Bah. Who needs 1/48s when you have a Jetfire with authentic canine-inflicted battel damage? 343641[/snapback] I've got a few chewed parts in my bits box. Maybe I should start a "show pics of your most abused 1/55" thread hey nightmareB4macross a friend of mine has a Failane in his back yard that you could probably get cheap

check out the bid history of the first one with reserve not met. Same seller but gave the LOWEST bidder a second chance offer?!?! thats why I thought it might be pity.

can somebody explain how/why this happened???? http://cgi.ebay.com/Bandai-Macross-1-55-VF...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 I'm not complaining but I just do not understand the sellers logic... unless it was pity
