It sold well due to the weapons cache. Someone was hoarding weapons, clips, and missiles. 

Without the cache I don’t think the listing would have done well.

Still a great haul for the winner.

Congratulations to the new owner.

That is true. Didn’t think of that. 
tbf, the seller added the picture of the stamp and added the weapons days after the action started and even then it was over $100.

Just seemed high for non verified Taka at that point. Def congrats to the winner. It does look cool as hell.

I figured I'd find this here; I was following the eBay auction and couldn't figure out what was so special about it.

I can't believe it sold for $216.50, even for a Takatoku

Just wanted to share my custom designed VR google and controller wraps.

The images I used came from danbickell here in the MacrossWorld forums, he allowed me to use them from his 3D modeling DYRL VF-1 WIP project thread for the head and cockpit portion on the controllers. I did the custom graphic work for the controllers by adding a scene from DYRL to the monitor, space background and the mirrored images of Roy Focker (RIP) and split the design in half so that one hand is throttle and the other is the flight stick (where is my Macross VR game?!?).

I provided my images to and worked with a great guy on Etsy named Lou who owns and runs Loucidco. He has, hands down, the best template for the quest 2 (if you want full coverage). Did some back and forth with him, and he was the one who really made it all work.

Thanks for looking!

Thank you @mcfly50 for responding to my WTB post and getting my Cyclone to me in record time. Great communication, easy to deal with and super friendly. Thank you!

Transaction in process. Thank you mcfly50!

I see them pop up from time to time in the For Sale section, but always miss out. (same with eBay)

I really want to complete my RT "book" collection, and Rand is the last one I need

I'd prefer MIB, case fresh or as close to it as possible. 

Thanks!

Out of the blue I decide to "pop" on MacrossWold!!!

Happy 30th to Macross, something that has given me so much enjoyment and what really started my passion for collecting!!

I finally hit up F&S for the first time last night, freaking cool place!

I was in toy heaven!

I got in just after 8pm and walked the isles to check it out.

Glad to hear that more shops will be open this weekend.

My corporate office is in Brea, so it's only a hop and a jump away.

I'm bringing some buddies with me on Saturday to spend some dough, hopefully I don't spend my SDCC money!

I should have listened to you guys sooner!

I was worried about tisinc99 as well (from the black list thread)

But I went ahead and bought from them online through Amazon.com.

They had a 1/60 VE-1 Elintseeker I've been missing from my collection (and at a decent price).

They've been absent from eBay lately and I thought that this might be my last chance to pick one up.

I'm happy to say that it was shipped fast and came in great condition.

I haven't opened her up yet, but all the tape seals are perfect so I don't really expect anything wrong.

I just wanted to post up my positive online experience.

anybody else still having problems with the pegs?

both of the "second gen" pegs Toynami sent me have failed.

Instead of the cup splitting the cup broke off from the peg.

this sux

? what did you exactly do with the cyclone feed?

It's still there, I just didn't have the hopper on it for the first pic I posted.

The Box Magazine hides a Palmers Stabilizer inside (great for CO2 and HPA).

It's all custom made so inside the box with a steel braided hose connected to a remote air fitting on the bottom of the box.

I then have an HPA tank on the back of my vest connected to the A5 by remote coil.

Here's a couple of pics:

If you want to check out the process check my gallery out:

It's an A5 modded to high hell.

There's a Big Game at Jungle Island this Sunday, they open up the whole field scenario style for the whole day.

Not sure if you and your guys ever played there, but it's a really fun field.

You can still get pretty real paintball markers too

Of course that's with a little modding.

BTW,

Is this what your Barrel looks like (off the marker)?

Slip-fit, retained by jam screw.

I think you'd be out of luck finding a small barrel for that pump.

I'd say definitely cut the least accurate of the two barrels you have,

you'll loose the range and accuracy cutting it down anyways.

But it'd be perfect for CQB.

Where in Cali do you or have you played?

Awsome collections guys!

And I have to ask rdenham as well....

Where does one buy one of these?

They've been sold out at the shops in my area....

I really want to get my hands on this, great art and writing!

I know a $3 mark up doesn't seem like too much - but when you buy 3 figures, the additional costs add up mate!! Frig!!

tell me about it, thats why (othar than the Meg's and Opty) I just picked up Starscream and Rodimus. I'll pick up the others at retail.

I just had to get that "quick high" without splurging and then skipping some meals

How much did they cost?

Thx in advance mate.

The boxed Meg's and Opty were 24.99 and the other guys on the blister cards are going for 12.99.

Fry's is selling them for a couple bucks extra (than normal stores), but I had to get my TF fix.....

I picked up some of the Classics line at the Fry's in Burbank, they are worth every penny!

The same guy hit up a paintball forum about a couple weeks ago.

specialopspaintball.com

My buddy just picked up the collectors edition (blue tin) at BB for only 2 bucks more (24.99)

I had to get back to work so no preview...

I want them to replace MY sockets now. What do I just email them?

Just send an email with how many you need to customerservice@toynami.com

Just an FYI, I had my socket split on me.

Contacted toynami cust service and had their new stronger cup sent to me within a couple of days.

Her's my letter:

We are happy to inform you that your replacement peg has been sent out

today via US Mail. You will find that this new ball joint is very strong

in comparison to the one that broke in your possession. You should

receive your letter with joints enclosed within 4-10 business days.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do. Thank you for

your patience and continued support.
