  1. Anyone still looking for a Karios? One available on Manda for 55k. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1105094821&ref=list&dispCount=240&keyword=マクロス&lang=en
  2. That was on my list of Chunky Monkeys to get... When I finally saw the listing price for that, that became a "Holy Grail" right after that. @Shizuka the Cat - Did you look for this this version as well? I bet it was way out of your price range.

    Hi-Metal R

    This is the first thing that pops into my mind when you said this.. I admit that some guys don't like musicals.. To each their own I say. I'm actually staring to like the VF-4 after seeing pics of it more being posted and seeing the transformation done by Bandai before the actual release date.
  5. @Shizuka the Cat - That's what happens when my mind is pre-occupied of how to do a movie response paper for my Continuing Ed class taught by a Lawyer...
  6. Newly posted on another Macross thread. Link provided by Show.Z https://showzstore.com/in-coming-valkyrie-factory-vf-1-60-vf-1s-vf1s-macross-roy-fokker-focker-special-version-full-paintedin-coming_p1271.html Valkyie Factory's take on the "PE" Strike VF-1s Roy for $178.00 USD Edit: This is the exact pic used as I can't not enlarge it.
  7. @Saburo - Got enough space for Chuck's 31e when released (and the Silpheed Armour for Arad)? It's going to be a very tight squeeze.
  8. A special request if I may (I'm asking this ahead of time). If anyone gets Chuck's 31e (out on June/July) and then the Silpheed Armour (out on August/September), is there a possibility to have a snap of it (mis-matched tampos, colours and all)?
  9. Incoming 1/6th stuff via Toyark Mondo's Faker - https://news.toyark.com/2019/03/15/masters-of-the-universe-faker-1-6-scale-figure-mondo-exclusive-version-339845 Asmus' Devil May Cry 5 - https://news.toyark.com/2019/03/15/devil-may-cry-5-nero-1-6-scale-figure-by-asmus-toys-339773

    Hi-Metal R

    I'm right behind @Sanity is Optional as well and go for Roy's VF-4.
  11. Managed to see this on NY if anyone has not seen it. Miria's PF VF-1J - * On sale * 26,750 yen: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/22376-macross-1-60-kanzen-henkei-vf-1j-super-valkyrie-milia-f-jenius-custom-premium-finish-limited-edition.html Max's PF VF-1J - 28,250 yen: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/22377-macross-1-60-kanzen-henkei-vf-1j-super-valkyrie-maximilian-jenius-custom-premium-finish-limited-edition.html

    Hi-Metal R

    Orginally posted by areaseven on another Macross thread.
  13. I have a pre-order en-route from Mondo soon (non-deluxe if your wondering). I post it up when I have it in my hands.
  14. @JetJockey - Here's the rundown of both IXO and Maisto 1:18 die cast cars in a nutshell. IXO Models: Very high end, detailed and very regarded corporation of making replicas of Autos/Trucks/Motorcycles/Airplanes, etc.. Makes Auto Art stuff look like garbage from what I have been reading (maybe literally speaking). https://www.ixomodels.com/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=4 Go into the Info tab and click on: About Us and you'll see what I mean. There are reviews on YouTube compairing IXO Models products to other brands of similar items Maisto: Simple, basic, low cost and no frills for collectors that don't want to spend all that $$ for a simple replica of a car or anything for that matter. http://www.maisto.com/ I haven't collected any IXO Models 1:18 stuff yet, however that may change..
  15. A few review's on Mondo's 1/6th He-man. Some reviews may be old so my apologies.
  16. I'm sure that there will be other colours available down the road David. Made a pre-order for one already and will be using this and the Yammie version in my display. I might even do a comparison as well.
  17. @JetJockey: As a former 1:18 scaled car collector and previous Automotive Apprentice Mechanic, I don't like Jada Toys interpretation due to fact they love to "Pimp up it up" and slam all the "Bling Bling" to make it more attractive. Its all show and no go.. Where is the practically of the car? Total waste of money in my books although it gets some heads turning in that direction. I prefer stuff from a mixture of Auto Art, IXO, Kyosho and Maisto. As for Transformers Animated Japanese shows (pre-Beast wars) area @Shizuka the Cat, there was Super God Life, Headmasters/Masterforce and Victory. I do watch Tokusatu stuff as well like Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, Gojira, Garo, Mazinkaiser, Escaflowne just to toss in a few examples. Skyfire/Jetfire was a borrowed idea from the original 1/55 Chunky Monkey. @Kuma Style: I have a feeling that either you or myself will show our new valk purchase soon.
  18. I'm actually wondering why Arcadia decided to issue their version of the VE-1 in PF first. Marketing enticement perhaps? The Elintseeker was shown for 2 seconds (?) in DYRL and slightly different from any of the VF-1 valks due to the sensors that where plastered all over it and the oddball looking head.
  19. Thanks for the update @no3Ljm. I'm going to pick up both movies at some point in time and watch them both.
  20. Speaking of War Movies... Tora, Tora, Tora is actually a good collaboration with the Japanese and American filmmakers to combine their views on what happened during that time. Clint Eastwood also did it twice in his two war movies: Iwo Jima (based on an Japanese troops pov) and another one Flags of our Fathers (based on the American troops pov) Edit: Updated post after Noel's reply.
  21. That's how Arcadia gets us all @spacemanoeuvres. Issue the Plain Jane version first then get us to upgrade to the PE version a year or so later. We have discussed this topic too many times to count.
  22. Tekering used the Mr. Colour paint remover on his DX YF-19 to take out the horrific and unslighty U.N. Spacy tampos if anyone can remember.. Just make sure that it doesn't eat through the hard plastic at super concentrated levels.
  23. @Sanity is Optional - I think your original thought of using this Armour for Chuck's 31e (upon release) would look better. Have not ordered the Silpheed Armoured pack yet or should wait till the official release date (August) then nab it at a slight mark up..
  24. Threezero's Anime Ultraman via Toyark. https://news.toyark.com/2019/03/12/ultraman-anime-version-figure-by-threezero-339526
  25. A DX YF-19 Full Set is up for grabs at Amiami (Box B/Item B) for 22.4k yen. https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-038985-R
