    The Mods don't want to be forced to have to care about this.

    Understand?

    Hey, they are starting argument not me.  This nonsense isn't keeping me from hopping on CDJ.

    Your recent posts have you bragging about your 'high end gaming PC' and getting two new job while casually insulting those with low paychecks and having children early. I make $250 a week and am barely getting by so spending $100+ on a toy is not something I can do on a whim but I saved up and bought my first Hi-Metal R VF-1A recently and I was happy with just that. But your constant bragging about being able to buy 10 Valkyries at a time, insulting people like me that are barely making a living, and trying to make yourself out as some kind of victim in this hobby really got on my nerves. You're not respectful at all, you're an arrogant ass.

    I currently make $11/hr plus I do cooperation with the Chinese and I still buy valkyries.  smh.  Next month I start my new job.  When I bought all of my 1/55 (from Spidey Jerusalem, remember him?) I was making $12/hr and had a little bank account.

    By the way, with that last sentence you are clearly breaking forum rules.

    It's not my fault if people don't know how to save money, have a savings account waiting to purchase a house, and do not have a 401k. Hell, even my current minimum wage job clearly explains and recommends during training to get a 401k through them.

    Need I also mention that a couple of years ago I was literally homeless?  That's right, I had no place to live at and I was nearly out on the street.  I was sleeping in my car for part of that time.

  3. I think you guys are still reading too far into things.  I wasn't bragging, I was clearly stating that I made some purchases.

    Also I want to remind you guys that if I drop $1,000 on valkyrie orders in a month, I still gotta pay it back.  No ifs ands or buts.  I do my share and this shows up on my credit card statement as debt until it is paid in full.

    *scratches head* I've not seen cognitive dissonance like this in a little while.

    You state that you are on the receiving end of negativity in all of the hobbies that you participate in.  You may want to spend some time thinking about that.  It's clear that people are not receptive to your content (for whatever reason). 

    Maybe switch things up; or just accept that people do not like your posts and move on.

    Ok look, when I call up someone on the phone that I don't know for a set of BBS tire valve stems with caps to buy for my car, and he immediately starts giving me attitude, what am I really suppose to think?  I am calling a business, not making friends.  All I am asking for is product.  If Valkyrie dealers treated me the way these negative folk on this forum do or the guy at that car parts shop on-line did over the phone, I would not be buying any of these products.  Look at what happened with MyKombini.  They got too arrogant and big headed, refused to fix my valkyrie problem (by the way, I only own ONE VF-1A, not ten) and then told me to not buy from them any more.  I wasn't going to buy from them anyway, the lady at the post office told me "you sure aren't buying from them any more", too.

    I treat everyone with respect and honesty.  But I don't kiss a$$.  So that's what you get.  I'm not here to kiss up to people, I am just participating in the hobby and that's it.  There's probably hundreds or thousands of people who own a lot of valks who won't post on here mainly because they don't want to get into this stuff.  I don't blame them.

    Amptor,

    There are threads if you really are interested in posting your Valkyrie count. Why not share it here and be done with it. Back in the days all members would gladly share their healthy collections and  not gloat about what they owned. It was a fun way to share. Just note that a lot of these counts are quite old but a lot of these collections have built up considerably over the years.

     

    Will think about it.  At least that is the most constructive reply I have seen on here :)  And you guys realize that there are others in this thread posting photos of multiples.  I have not, afaik.  I mean I do remember taking photos of my boxes but I don't recall sharing any of those photos on this forum.

    Anyway, every hobby has a lot of negativity in it which I have been exposed to some of over the years, as well as my father.  Such as and not limited to the following:

    Hot Wheels
    Transformers
    Lionel
    Computer software collecting (won't get into that on here, that is a nasty one ;)
    Car collecting
    Automobile restoration and purchasing parts

    anything involving adults.  It really doesn't bother me as much as I used to think it did lol.  When real life stuff came up it just put everything into perspective.

    Let me try to help you out, no one cares that you own X number of Valkyries or how many or how well-paying your job(s) are. The community is letting you know that how you are going about posting in an extremely arrogant way, that isn't welcomed.

    Many of us have been around the forums long enough to see and celebrate members that have large collections. We think it's awesome! Personally, at a time when this hobby was a priority for me I also had multiples. But I never bragged about it, or stated in such a way as to make myself seem better than my peers because I was not/am not and neither are you. 

    It would have been easier to just add another down-vote but that would have been too passive aggressive so I'll state what I think about your recent posts clearly; 

    I suspect you're just a troll and/or have some real-life issues that makes you want to feel superior about toy collecting, and  that my post will fall on deaf ears but I wanted to state it very plainly, I don't care if you have a million Valks or not, I just don't like that you are acting like a pr!ck. Now let that sink in while you make snide, out-of-touch with reality comments about people having families or what their financial status may or may not be. And for the record, my kid is grown and I am very comfortable in my salary.

    Cheers,

    -b.

     

    PS - on-topic, I didn't want the HMR VF-4 because IMO the Yamato version is so awesome, I am genuinely curious and hopeful that the Bandai iteration is nice as well

    I'm not the only one on here that shows that they have multiple valks and I know for a fact that another guy has lots and lots more than I have.  I am not breaking forum rules, some of these other guys are though.

    I am arrogant about my gaming PC though.  I have Evga Geforce RTX 2080 Ti which I paid $1149.99 for and a brand new gaming monitor 32" 144hz and this system is absolutely amazing.  I get no screen tearing at all and it can play everything I throw at it.

    edit: btw last paragraph is a joke right, or you are reading way too far into things.  You don't know me in real life so you are just assuming too much based upon text on a forum with a limited amount of thought put into it before you type.  That's all I clearly see here.

    Anyways enjoy the hobby, I'm not stopping anyone from buying what they want.  Did I buy that other valk people are posting here constantly lately?  NO.

    Down vote? Whatso bad asking for a diorama image? Izzer a scrooge here abouts?:lol:

    They don't like that I own so many valks.  hey, I'm not rich and my jobs basically suck ballz.  it's like if you can't afford the valkyries then, u obviously do not have a job.

     

    edit: actually that or you made the mistake of having children too early and live paycheck to paycheck due to that.  I can't feel sympathy for people whom do that though lol.

    I look forward to an image of your Macross diorama soon!:yahoo:

     

    You are planning at posting one right?

    I should.  I unboxed 4 valkyries.  They are all a team on my desk, nearby this high end gaming PC setup :)

    Can’t you get a friend or spouse to set up Ann amazon Japan account? Would that work?

    If I just create another account, that would probably work.  I do it all the time on there, on the US site.

    Keep supporting this line! We need more variants to be released 

    No problem. I actually got 2 new jobs so there's no worries about continuing this hobby at all.

  11. Man, real life stuff hits a lot harder than people bawking at me about my purchasing habits on a forum lol.  Anyway, all the stuff I buy is still readily available as I missed out on the VF-1S strike and the armored valkyries.  I'm not keeping any of you guys from purchasing multiples, but I do limit my own purchases to ten or less valks per release.  I just had to take a moment and step back from all of this to realize what matters most and this is just a hobby for fun.

    I also do hot wheels and that hobby has a lot of folk that are nuts over super treasure hunts.  I've found the right people to trade with so I'm doing fine with that.  But it's funny that in every hobby / scene there's always an amount of negativity that arises.  Never fails.  I've been into several different scenes and a couple hobbies and have seen practically it all.

    Anyway, hope they release everything you guys want.  I think I got everything that I wanted so far.  The next valkyrie releases will be cool too of course.  I think they are going to come up with Khakizaki TV version and the Max DYRL super from what I've seen here.

    Now I'm just contemplating purchasing another VF-1A and possibly more VF-1Ds.

    Maybe it’s because you’re so full of yourself?  In so many of your stupid ass posts you make it sound like you are single handledly “supporting” the hobby, as if nobody else on this board puts money into this hobby.  And look at the stupid ass thing you said above, you hoard these toys so you can sell them at an enormous profit.  It’s thanks to jackasses like you that make it hard for other people to get into this hobby.  In reality, you’re no better than a scalper, so congratulations for being a douche.   

    Gotta do what u gotta do.  Anyway, I don't control the prices of this stuff.  I know for a fact, though, that a guy who works for Nordic Trac single handedly kept the price of the VE-1 and VT-1 1/55 scale valks at over $1500 each due to the fact that he outbid everyone that ever auctioned them on ebay for over a decade. 

    AT LEAST I'm not doing that.  That is pretty shady.  And it goes to show, neither valk is "rare".

    You guys can thumb down and cuss 'stupid ass' and call names and break forum rules, etc.  I just sit back and laugh at you.  You don't make it so I can't buy what I want :D

    Go with your gut or stick to your original purchase plan. Unless going with your gut was your original purchase plan. Then no issues! :rolleyes: 

    Blue Phalanx would be nice. 

    Yup I went with it for my VE-1s at least, glad I did that.  I have 10 of those, 2 unboxed.

  14. I wonder if I should buy more than four.  I mean, I'm only going to buy one Khakizaki and one Max Super when they come out anyways.  I wonder what else they possibly can come up with.

  15. I'm surprised I didn't get thumb down this time around, as you guys know I buy to hoard valks  Not sure who else here does that. :P :)  I did it with the 1/55 scale ones and flipped half of my collection for an enormous profit.  These hi-metal r are much nicer imho.
