    More importantly, are they anatomically correct?

    I have a bunch of those too and use them as the base layer of my stacks so any less durable boxes are on top and more protected. The problem is if I bought enough of those boxes, it would take up even more room and cost me a ton of Valks worth of money.

    FWIW, this is a pic of one of my spaces from over a year ago: I can't even get an angle like that to photo anymore and I have another equivalent space filled to the brim and a garage that is completely filled floor to ceiling minus a spot for one car.

    They might sell out fairly quickly but they likely don't make enough of them to be very profitable. If they make more, them they will shelf warm for a bit and they probably don't like that for such a small margin item.

    Nope. Preorder madness is part of the fun and satisfaction. Plus, it still ends up being slightly cheaper.

    Yep, this is all good stuff for sure and I will be ordering whatever I can from US shops if this first example holds true going forward. I do think all the indicators still show that Macross is just not a big seller/money maker relative to many other properties so we are lucky to get what we have. I mean, these things sell out in seconds at the Japanese shops and don’t even come close to making the top selling lists on sites that show ratings like AmiAmi and CDJ.

    International demand huh?… Not looking so in demand… 🤪 Love the roller coaster, here for the ride and enjoying my Valks.

    Just get the Alto set that came out not long ago. Miria’s 29 wouldn’t look much different right?

    How could they?! Preorder cancelled! J/K, those differences don't concern me.

    Lol😆

    Damn, I didn’t know there was a woke Macross collecting movement too. 🤣 I buy Macross toys because I’m intrigued by the designs and especially the Gerwalk modes. All iterations of Valkyries are interesting and worth collecting to me. The original Chunky is the best toy ever made period imo and I love seeing how other versions of them have come out since and most of those are definitely worth collecting too. It just so happens I like all the media as well but I’m not dependent on any particular scene or bound to toys that must slavishly match every detail I see in them to be happy.

    It’s a bit smaller. Can work if you are ok with using some forced perspective.

    Now you’re getting it. 😁

    Wrong. You make more room by renting space, buying storage, adding on to your property and buying bigger property.

    I think the most realistic alternate reality where Bandai didn't completely bend us over is if they released the yet unreleased Super Packs or Armor Packs with these included. Kinda like how they included missiles with the 31C Super Parts.
  16. Slave IV
    Of course!🤣

    I make little pathways between my stacks of boxes and keep the entrances clear. But if something happens, I have records so hope insurance covers me and I get to be freeeee!😄
  18. Slave IV
    All that empty space needs to get filled. Get to work man!😁
  19. Slave IV
    Hahaha! That is awesome! Reminds me when I was in HS, I had access to military bases and there were a couple airbases nearby. I used to just go sit next to the airstrips and watch fighter planes takeoff and land all the time. Miramar was one of the ones that were decently close and I went there to watch the real “Top Gun”.😁
  20. Slave IV
    Definitely a classic! Nice! so far I like the S1 and Senna Lotus you got the most.

    I have some in other scales and lower quality 1:18 so they don’t really count. All the ones you mentioned would be considerations based on space and money if I found the right ones I want. I’ll pass on the Fusion but I bet it’s a decent value for what it is. 😂 Yours is a good theme too but I fear that could get way too broad for me. 1/64 or around Hot Wheels size and those recent 1/32 Hollywood Rides cars are good and cheap enough for me to collect more of those…of which I have no idea how many I have at this point. It’s gotta be at least 10 large storage boxes full.
  22. Slave IV
    Yep! My 1:18 collection basically highlights the progression and history of AWD technology in performance autos.
  23. Slave IV
    Nice! I have the civilian version, also from AutoArt:
  24. Slave IV
    Oh, it will make it to the States one way or another. Most likely by ferry from a Japanese retailer to my doorstep at the very least.

    They’ve delivered items for me in the past, which is fine. But the VF-31A I and others had ordered through them and prepaid for were cancelled with an excuse that they didn’t have stock to fulfill our orders. Then they relisted the item they supposedly had no stock of the next day with a huge markup. To me, that’s the lowest of the low I’ve seen from any of these shops.
