Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
no3Ljm replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Nice! The reign of The Transformers. -
That's true too. Should've added a second poll that asks who has both and who has the other one instead. Right now, I own 2 Arcadia YF-19 and 1 Bandai DX VF-19 Advance since I sold my other one.
-
That's ok. I kinda like how the overall whites on the VF-0A. Well, except for that blue areas. I'm just saying that if ever I decided to paint the blue, that Ocean Gray paint is the best choice since I don't want to mix and match the color. But we have to see it first since I'm planning on displaying this one with the VF-0D, so I'm assuming the blue parts on the VF-0A will compliment the VF-0D. Right now, I'm just glad that there's a few 'yellow' parts on the VF-0S to convert it into 'red'.

I think it's a browser issue. I used Google Chrome on a Windows 8. After I logged in, the moment I go to a different page or thread, it automatically signed me off. The other browser I tried, works ok. Well, except for Internet Explorer. Hehehe.

What makes the Macross toy line hold their value so well?
no3Ljm replied to Shermantank's topic in Toys
Almost everyone here says it's a niche market when it comes to Macross. And not everyone is exposed to it. Transformers on the other hand is somehow more worldwide in scope because of merchandising, cartoons, and Hollywood movies even though it's not faithful to the concept. Macross on the other hand has a small audience. And they just focus really within Japan only. But with the help of Harmony Gold before it reaches the US shore and other continents. But due to their involvement legally it causes some backlash regarding collectible toys. Hence, the distribution of Macross toys in other parts of the world is not as good as Transformer toys. Another factor also for the new toys is the up and rising cost of productions and materials. But for the old toys because it's just that they're vintage that's why the prices is going high. Anyways, here's some old helpful threads regarding this topic. Hope that helps. Have Macross become out of reach for collectorshttp://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=40391 Toys worth the high price?http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=7049 VF-4G: Why the astronomical prices?http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=42461 -
Probably because the VF-19 Advance compared to other DX Valks, have a matte finish. And THAT is a big factor, I think. It separates from the other ones.

Hmmm. It's hard to say when you just asked about the Purple Yam itself. By itself, I don't remember what it taste like since we always eat Ube in various forms such as in Ice Cream, in Cake form, or just in preserved yam form. This is looks like mashed potato in purple color. It tastes sweet and yummy ofcourse in those various forms that I mentioned. Let's wait for other Filipinos here that can best describe Ube by itself. But I assure you, you'll never go wrong with Ube Ice Cream.

...but is also secretly wishing that Arcadia will not put ANY blue accents on the upcoming VF-0S.

Try it Mommar. You'll never regret it.

It's back on NY for Y28000 before shipping just in case some people might want to get another copy or to those who doesn't have a copy yet. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/10446-macross-f-dx-chogokin-vf-19-advance.html

Yup. 7 hours. And I have photos of that to prove it. Hahaha! All it gave me is a stressed plastic in which after 2 more transformations, it finally got snapped. Hence the famous exploding thigh of the YF-21's. And that's before I found out about that extra 'click'.

It's Purple Yam. We called it Ube in Tagalog. And for some reasons, everyone back in the Philippines love it. Along with Queso (Cheese) flavor too. If you stumble to an Asian market somewhere there, grab a pint one. You'll never regret it.

Thanks for posting this. This is the color I'm going to buy if ever I decided on painting the so-called misleading 'blues'. If not, I'll be happy for sure. BESIDES, after all this blue talks, once we get the Valk coming early-Sept, people will be forgiving once again.

Great purchases everyone! -
Wait. Are we talking about 'sales' now? It was the same as Arcadia YF-19 before. After it get released, it was sold out on most of the stores too. But to be honest, most are covered here on my concerns between Arcadia and Bandai. Bandai made the VF-19 more sweeter adding those waist joints and leg fillers. But as a overall for me, I will still choose Arcadia for what reasons I posted above.
-
Arcadia for me. For some reasons, I treat my Yamato/Arcadia Valks as the 'Masterpiece series' while the Bandai DX as the 'Voyager series'. Yamato/Arcadia is more collectible looking to me than Bandai DX which is more a toy for me. In other words, I transform my Yamato/Arcadia ones with care than the Bandai DX ones.
-
Sad to hear about that, Spanner. The only trick I learned from transforming Valk after that 7 hours incident with me and my Yamato YF-21 is when you're on the point of getting frustrated while transforming it, put down the valk, walk away, relax and do something else. After that, come back and do it again. You'd be surprise how easy it is to transform it. By the way, that VF-171Ex was engineered by those who made that 'famous' and 'well praised' VF-19 Advance, right?

Uhm, after this got settled, are we going to start talking why Arcadia colored the reissue Fire Valk with 'yellow gold'? But to be honest, I'm not bothered with the release of Arcadia's VF-0A and changing the colors if it's not cannon. But I'm curious too on what's the correct color on those leg fins, backpack areas, and the back of the calf like Mommar states on the first post.
-
Cool. Btw, is it below or above the uniboob?
-
It's just funny sometimes to see something like this. An Arcadia logo and a grey motif VF-0A. But compared to this grey, I kinda like the new light grey better.
-
For some reasons, I find the new light grey with blue color accent likeable. Though I wish they made the blue a little darker and desaturated. But all in all, I'm glad that I preordered this one even though it's not part of my list. It's the announcement of the VF-0S Reactive Armor that made me preorder this one for the Ghost Booster.

Great displays guys! Oh, when can I upgrade my small cabinet...

Yup. Rod Baltmer is the antagonist. Though he is related somehow to Leon Sakaki which is the protagonist on the game. Rod is the boyfriend of Mia Sakaki which is Leon's younger sister. Rod got upset about Leon regarding Mia's death. Love it MacrossJunkie.

Yup. She's just a supporting one. Inviting Leon to go to the other shops for more upgrades. And she does help him in one big battle using the white Lucifer. I'm thinking you're going to GET it too. It will be nice to display it together with YF-30 and Rod's YF-29. Not to mention if they come up too with Aisha's pink VF-19. Me too definitely. IT will be the reason for me to get a Lucifer this time. Yup yup yup. As long it comes with purple colored Fast Packs too. For sure they will milk their existing molds before they will make their Delta Valks. It didn't mention that she was a Cyborg. I know she's the head of the Hunter Guild. And there he said it.
