I'm back...
in Toys
Thanks alot for the replies thus far! Another question...alot of the stuff I'm missing is from a few years ago to pressent. What are the best sites to go to for gettin all these valks without havin to saber duel with everyone on ebay? Not that I'm not prepared to make a few more victims outta those who challenge but for some of these valks it's just not cost effective...

Hi! I am new around, just been here for a couple of months.For 1/48 Yamato transformables, you may check what you have missed from here:
For the new 1/60 line, there are the
VF-1S Focker SSP
VF-1A Hikaru SSP
VF-1J Hikaru Super Parts
Upcoming:
VF-1S Hikaru SSP (Dec 20)
VF-1D (Feb 09')
Interested in Macross Zero or Macross Plus too?
Most definately! I will be getting the Mac plus and zero valks. On the upper row. were those the 25th anniversary vf's in the black and gold boxes?
Also - not directly toy related - but have you managed to watch Macross: Frontier?
Go do so And read some of the threads here about the new 1/60 v.2 VF-1 - I recommend it over the 1/48
Pete
Macross frontier...I am SOOOOOOOOO outta the loop on this one! I will check it out! Are there any valks coming out for it?

Hey people! I'd like to first start off by bidding you all a hearty hello! I hope all has been well in my absence (I.E. not too many flame wars breaking out) and all has been in good spirits. It's taken me a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time to come back, to be honest I'm still climbing to my feet (as there have been nothing but uphill battles) but now it would appear that things are finally stabilizing enough so that I can begin buying again. To be totally honest there's prolly not too many of you who remember me...that's fine, for those who do...SOUND OFF!!! What I'm looking for from my fellow fans is a shopping list of the TRANSFORMABLES that I missed. I perussed the site (I know that Shawn and GRAHAM stay real busy so it can be hard to update things from time to time) and I know there are a few more valks etc. that haven't made it to the list yet. Please do me a favor and look through what I have and tell me what holes need to be cemented. Much appreciated!

I can see that. You definately go for the larger die-cast and plastic toys over the small toys. I was surprised not to see any 1/100 TT Valks in your collection.
Again, nice stuff!
Thank you and funny you should ask about the 1/100 scale takas...I was looking for those (actually) before I went on my hiatus from collecting. If you look reeeeeallly close there is a 1/100 scale bandai hiding in my collection. Take a bow though sir! You are definately pretty accurate as I have an efinity(sp?) for the chunkies! It all started (same as alot of people here) with Jetfire...Jetfire...Jetfire...< goes into flashback sequence >

C'mon bro change it to jet form!!! This j/m is so damned cool!

Sweet stuff!
I especially like your Mospeada toys. Very thorough representation there of the Henshin Robo and Japanese original toys
And a Lansay Tread in the box! I am jealous!Your 1/55 and 1/72 HCM Macross stuff is so clean and complete. I love it.
Oh, and I like the Beatras and Insecter Robos toys too. Those are rare to have in a collection.
Thank you!! With the mospeada stuff it is a little incomplete, I require the iota or the theta (i think) and the blowsuperior and bartley robotech versions. The tread was a little hard to come by, bought it from a frenchmen of this site actually while trollin the background for a really sweet price! With the beetras I was hopin to someday find beet vadam but after a bit of research I found out that that and beet papil never came to be. As with the beetras and insecter robos I wanted it to be seen that before the insecticons came into be...they were here, I think a full ten years prior? I think my collecting style makes me a completist, but only in certain products, sizes or styles.

Thank you, yeah, I been outta circulation since late '05. If you notice, just about everything that came out in the latter half of 2000 on back I collected in duplicate. It's because (like alot of members here) I have kids...two sons to be exact. At current they seem to be interested in alot of the same stuff I'm interested in but they're still young. I plan on giving them all my yamatos by dividing them evenly between the 2 of them, whomever takes better care of their collection may have everything else...If yamato ever stops putin out valks then I'll probably stop collecting after a couple more joe's, transformers and star wars figs. I have a list, a bunch of valks to pick up over at the ex's family home back in Japan and VERY limited space...
Welcome back Bmaximum.Wow! That's a huge collection you've got, but it looks like you've got some catching up to do with the Yamato Valks.
Bmaximum,VERY nice collection mate! Can I PLEASE have your extra Max & Milia's???

Hello all, I've been gone awhile, alot has happened, some good, mostly bad but the good thing is that I'm recovering and will be back collecting as soon as I can. In the meantime (and mind you everything isn't pictured) enjoy these photobucket pix. Oh yeah, can ayone help me out with navigating photobucket? I migrated everything over from yahoo about a year ago and it didn't all go in order. I tried to rearrange it via "remix" but it made a funky slideshow movie, I want everything like it was...organized. In the meantime here's the collection! Enjoy!

Sorry, I've been gone for a bit but I thought this was a topic about those unfortunate souls who need replacement parts. Instead there is alot of flame spray that basically boils down to a persons inablilty to keep calm. Just trying to figure something out to put things into perspective...this is a fan site, right? For the most part we all enjoy our product, right? Why is it we all have to be persecuted for the cumulative negative experiences that the few have had...sure it is the given right of EVERYONE to complain but I don't recall it extending to inflicting onself on the masses. Think about it, we are (for the most part) all grown, so why are some here *&tchin about toys? Hard earned money spent, yes, we all get the picture. Just register a complaint, find a way to fix your item and keep moving...positively. I, personally have had no issues with my collection. I'm cool with it but I find it personally insulting when I get called out for enjoying my problem-free eye candies. Get a bad product and you have a right to *&tch at the company but not at the company you keep...

This a a rare opportunity please come visit!

Sorry, been gone for a minute. I can scan the stickers for you but it could take some time. Jetfire is in one of nine trunks that are stacked in a room that has been deemed "for storage". Believe it or not there are some pics of Items that I haven't added yet. Due to the state of my house it's a hard task to pull off. Reminator, when do you need the scan by, I will do my best to accomodate you!
-
Thanks for the compliment kind sir! It's actually an incomplete collection so t answer your question, nothing is gonna be on sale anytime soon. On top of that I was really planning to give everything to my boys when they get old enough to care, hence alot of the newer items being collected in twos. I rather enjoy what I have, what did you have an eye for?

I couldn't separate them in this folder, please enjoy.

yeah, me too, I already have them separately, it'd be too hard to house this as a giftset. I'll keep looking anyways though! Thanks for the assist!

A good friend of mine was telling me about a toys r us exclusive where there was a hikaru 1/48 vf-1(s?) that was packaged with strike armor. While my chances of finding one may be slim and none I'd still like a picture of a packaged one so I can know what I'm looking for. Can any of you help me out? Thanks!

I just figured this was worthy of mention. This i the first time I saw a graded fort max much less two!!! AND it appears they both got high marks.

Yeah, I noticed that, I was just gonna ask what was up with that?
Did anyone notice that this Beta was relisted and sold with a BIN? I guess the original bidder wasn't as rich as he thought he was....Nevermind, eBay isn't playing nice. The item went for $2250.

Good luck on your quest friend. The auctioneer wasn't lying, he got his info from this site...this is pretty much the RAREST transformable piece in the macross/mospeada universe. I think. Well...anyone know differently? Anyways these pieces have been showing up pretty frequently lately (with lot's of money being shelled out as you can see) but for the most part they show up at a rate on average of about one every year/year and a half on big auction sites like ebay. Almost never on yahoo japan. Your best bet is to troll the backgrounds of as many macross/robotech websites as you can in search of a private transaction. Once again, good luck!

Holy Shyt!!!!!!!! 3,050.00!!!!!! Nuff said

I recend my comment about him skirting the question, I didn't read the text clearly enough. He even went as far as to answer my question when the answer was right in front of me.
Check it out!!!!!!! 35 minutes left and it's about 1300.00 USD!!!!!! Reserve was met at 800.00, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this far exceeds everyones expectations. Maybe now the market will flood and someone will have one with the decals! Muwahahahaha!!!!!
$710 and reserve STILL not met?!?I think he set the Reserve at a 1000. Especially after seeing this:
I personally saw only 2 times a beta fighter on ebay, one was in very bad condition (hardly broken and missing parts), the other was not complete. It missed wheels and a nose gear was broken. In my memory the 2nd had arrived at 1000$ at the end without reaching the price of reserve of the salesman.Man, thats steep. Dont you hate it when sellers know what they got.

Woah...lucky I'm a little short on money right now or it would've been me!!! LOL
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...Item=6005699211Lost in the last 10 seconds. I've already got one so no hard feelings. Mine isn't in factory sealed bags though and this one just looks so nice I wanted to try.
Good grab and I hope you enjoy it,
Carl
That is fracking awesome! Nice collection! And thanks for sharing too!

Thanks Bobe-Patt!!! Good to see a familiar face come through here! Maaaaaaaaaan you don't know the half! In one week: almost died on the operating table (couldn't sue (SP?) as it was a military intallation), showed up to work the following business day only to find I didn't have a job, went to school only to get the car I was driving broken into, the next day I found out the car didn't have insurance so it was ALL gonna be outta pocket, the day after the landlord came by and told me he had some people he needed to move in so I had to be out by sunday (it was thursday) and friday the place I was supposed to move into pulled the rug out from under me, sux cause he was tellin me for 2 months that the place was almost ready and my landlord was gettin impatient...I was goin through about three years of bad luck like that. Believe me, I wanted to sell some of those items but the ex took the camera when she left with the kids...Bouncebacks are great though! By that saturday I had located a storage area for my bulk things, crashed at a friends house for a while and a couple days later fixed my apartment situation. It took a few months to find a job but I found one that not only pays ok but it's recession-proof and I now have a GF that will always have my back! Things are definately lookin up so I want to get all caught up on my yammies.
*Note* I looked through my toylist and noticed that there were a few pics missing; a pic of the taka GBP-1S set in and out of the box and the bandai super valk (out of box) pic. In a nutshell, ya can't keep a good (although I use the term "good" loosely) collector down!
