Funny. Now do I risk angering the Macross gods by putting my YF-19 up even swap for another Gundam PG kit?
-
Right?! Dude this has been like my WEEK!!! First I sell my evil Toynami MPC's for 500 bucks, thenI got the 1/48 Roy, and now a YF-19. The two I wanted more than anything! I'm on damn fire here!!! Next thing you know I'll end up with a low viz for under 150 (yeah right !) but really...I've spent 155 bucks and I've gotten a complete 1/48 Roy AND a YF-19! The Macross gods must LOVE me !
-
The only way it could have been sweeter is if it was a 2nd or game color edition. I've heard all about tab b and the hip problems in the 1st edition.
-
Now should I shell out 40 for the Yf-21 or not?!
-
That's the one!
-
I JUST BOUGHT A YAMATO YF-19 OFF OF EBAY FOR 50 BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Personally I'm all for Gundam markers for panel lines. But then I'm not much of a model builder really.
-
Ok I've put up a couple of these but now I got some money in paypal to play with since I sold all my MPC's off. Here's my final want list. To be clear, I'm not a perfectionist so I don't really care about minor wear, box condition, etc. All I ask is they are complete and unbroken. I'd like to not spend and arm and a leg here so the more fair you are with price, the more likely I am to buy it. Please include shipping in your pricing. Here is the list semi-prioritized:
Yamato Super and Strike set.
Display stands
Yamato 1/48's (I just picked up a Roy, so anything but him)
Yamato YF-21 (would like to spend 50 or under on it,unless it's FP version)
Yamato YF-11b (would like to spend 50 or under on it,unless it's FP version)
Yamato 1/48 GBP
Bandai Custom YF-19 Firevalk
Bandai Custom VF-17 Stealthvalk

I just ordered the Wing Zero and the Char Zaku today! Maybe I should say hell with the 1/48 and pick up the Zeta or the MkII titan.
-
I know, I clicked that link last night. As much as I want a 1/48, man I gotta build one of those. Actually strike that. I gotta build ALL of those. I just wish I could find pics of the Evangelion Perfect grade kit.
-
Let me know what you got for Gundam or Evangelion PG kits, in whatever shape. I'll even take built if they're done right. I don't need a Wing Gundam or Char's Zaku.
-
Oh yeah, and I haven't built a PG yet, but I do know the 1/100's are easy. I read a review of the PG's on starship modeler that say no glue or paint is required, but it helps in parts. They say the PG manual is easy to understand from pics so it doesn't matter that it's in Japanese, and if you pay attention then skill isn't a factor. In my expierience, here's what I found works for my 1/100's. Gundam markers: Fine tip black and grey, White, and the 6 marker weathering kit. Not hard to use, and the weathering adds little things like mud and rust that really make it look lifelike.
-
I've used gundam markers and they are truly awesome. The fine tip black and grey works wonders for panel lines. Strike Rouge ? That's so cool ! I want that one bad along with the Zeta PG (biggest of them all), but I decided that I want a Gundam Zero since I have one in every other scale, and there's no PG Deathscythe or heavy arms. Nice choice though!
-
Slightly off topic, but I've decided that in addition to the 1/48, I'm looking into Perfect Grade Gundam kits. What's the difference between Perfect and Master other than size, and is it worth it to buy one of those or should I just buy like 3 Master grade kits. And finally (I know I ask a lot of questions) has anyone checked out the Evangelion PG kit and how is it?
-
Ok, those of you following the Toynami thread know that I've put all my MPC's on ebay, and I'm going to buy a 1/48. I need help with a decision though. Here's the options I have and I really am having a lot of trouble. As I could go either way on any of them and be happy. I have no doubt I'll end up with all of them at some point but what should I do for now, as it might be a while before I get another one?
VF-1S Roy w/Strike parts and stand (my favorite valk)
VF-1S Hikaru w/Strike parts and clear pieces(I can get a great deal on this)
VF-1J Stealth and stand (my favorite looking valk so far)
VF-0S (I heard it's the size of a 1/48!)
-
I'm unimpressed. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great toy, but for the life of me I can't imagine spending 160 dollars on a 1/60. Maybe if it goes the way of the VE-1 and drops in price I might buy it. If I was going to spend that much I'd much rather buy the YF-19 or a 1/48 than that.

I agree...a hot fighter pilot chick totally wins over a flight deck officer, or a crappy singer any day. That and the green hair is hot. Too bad there aren't real punk rock fighter pilot girls out there...
Quick! Break out the pitchforks and light those torches!
How is Miriya slurmty?
Well, she did squeeze out a kid pretty quick, and she married Max awfully fast...but that's OK. I like slurms. If it wasn't for slurms most of us dorks wouldn't get laid, or we'd all be with fat girls.

Like they say "Patience is a virtue." By the way, how old were you when your mom got you that Takatoku VF-1S Strike Valk. Eventhough, Takatoku NEVER made a VF-1S Strike Valk. The VF-1S Strike Valk was later released ONLY by Bandai. The only thing Takatoku released as a combo pack was the Super VF-1S and the GBP VF-1S.I remember wanting a Jetfire so bad and not getting one. so my mom (who was in the navy and had friends stationed in Japan) had them try and find one. Instead of a Jetfire I got a takatoku VF-1S strike valk. At the time I was really pissed off, because I wanted a Jetfire, so it sat and collected dust for a while. Then a little later I discovered Robotech and was all of a sudden my strike valk got tons of playtime. I did eventually get a jetfire as well, and poor Jetfire was always getting killed by Starscream and Skywarp. But it was OK because Roy was always avenging him. When that wasn't the case, Roy just shot Jetfire down himself because Jetfire was an evil red Russian robot.
Oh yeah, and as to your question, I think I was 6 or 7 at the time.

I meant the one with the armor, it's all the same to me. It was basically almost the same as Jetfire, but not as sturdy. I wish I still had it, and when I think about it I have no idea what the hell happened to it.

If you notice in Graham's toy gallery, the VF-1J Stealth is pictured with the strike cannon, it seems to have the regualar 1/48 hands, and the pilot looks like Hikaru.
-
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I took the plunge, put the MPC's on ebay, and went to work. I came home and the Reserve of 450 had already been hit with 7 watchers! I've already turned a 70 dollar profit with 6 and a half says of bidding left. Sweet! I'll let you guys know when and what 1/48 I buy. Hell maybe I'll buy two! The Roy (my favorite) and the IJ Stealth ! Cheer for my auction so I can swear off Robotech forever and go strictly Macross !

I will say that after reading all the horror stories about the MPC Alpha's I started thinking about staying away from Toynami and selling my MPC's. I decided I'm going to sell them off and pick up a 1/48. I'm torn between 3 though. Should I buy a Roy, Hikaru VF-1S, or a Stealth VF-1J? I'm not too crazy about the VF-1A If I buy the Roy or Hikaru, I will buy a strike kit for it, or the stealth which comes with one. I just can't decide on what to buy. I love the Stealth's look, but Roy is my all time favorite, and I think the Hikaru just looks badass. Too bad they don't make a YF-19 1/48. If you were going to buy one, which would you get first?
Holy F***ing S**t!!!!!!!!!!
