Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
sqidd replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Yeah, I lucked out and one Mandy location had everything in that pic but the Max. That made it a LOT easier. -
That's a bit of an extreme analogy.

Every single thing produced by humans has a failure rate. If you are only factoring in what you have seen/had happen to you and not all of them that don't you don't have any data to draw quality conclusions from. People love to whinge on the interwebs. That's generally all the feedback you will get on a product. What you don't get is the other 99.9% which is good feedback.

These weren't too bad at all. $1200 shipped. The biggest chunk being the Max. The next packages inbound........not quite so inexpensive: -VF-1S Hikaru w/ Strike -VF-1S Roy w/ Supers -VF-1A Hikaru w/ Supers -VF-1J Hikaru w/ GBP -VE-1 -VF-1J Hikaru I sold $4000 in toys over the past week. Since that's "free" money, I bought more toys with it. I've gone Full Chunky!! -

Holy smokes! How tall is that sucker?

Are you saying you won't get one because of the Robocop?

Are There Good Examples Of Hikaru's Fan Racer out there? I'm not interested in anything I have to glue together and paint. Do you have a name I can search with? Or Do you know what fan racers are avaible? Thabks!

If I wasn't a size queen I'd have all of my VF-1's in 1/60. Generally less money and they take up FAR less shelf space. The Arcadia 1/60's are great. But I am a size queen, so long live the DX! I just thought of another point of debate. This will only apply to some. I display all of my stuff (a rule I mad for myself). If I had 1/60's I would fill the same amount of shelf space as I do with 1/48's. Which means I would probably end up spending more money in the long run on 1/60's. I'd be more of a completest. There is no lack of stuff that I want, but I don't do it because of space limitations (it's actually a good thing).

I wish that I wanted figured (people) in my displays. If I did I would be all over these KC figures. They look great! The Veritechs on the other hand.........are pretty meh. To be fair I don't have one of the new and improved ones though. I just cracked a Valkyrie Factory VF-1S Roy with S&S parts out the other day that I got for my Focker Army display. It's not quite up to the level of Arcadia, but it's pretty close. And it's WAY WAY WAY better than a KC Valk at the same price point.

I don't have the same issues with the eight I have on display. I would say the DX's aren't any better/worse than the Yamato's. Just different. Then you have the production and age tolerances across them all. In short, the DX has never struck me as being "less". Could they be better? For sure. Are they bad? Nope.

1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

Will that let's say monitor Yahoo Auctions? First glance is telling me that it monitors specific pages, not whole sites? For example could I get it to monitor the entire web or something like Yahoo Auctions for 1/55 VE-1 for example and it will ping me when someone starts an auction? Or Jungle? Or AmazonJP? Thanks!

I'm not sure what I'll do about the DX. As stated by many, the Yamato is darn near perfect in fighter mode. I'd have hard time replacing them with DX's. Maybe one for Battroid??? I'm not a fan of the 21's Gerwalk. I would have to see the DX to make a decision on that. Is it possible that I would only get one DX? In this case, very possible. I'm all about "The Display" though. I don't think multiple DX's will do anything for me. I may not get even one. A DX in Battroid surrounded by Yamato's in Fighter may break my OCD! It's actually kind of nice when I don't feel pressured to get PO's. No VF-1A Max or the VF-1A Kazakaki for me. That was a relief. Same with the DX Voltes. Too tall for my displays. I'd be all in on VF-11's and a VF-1J GBP Grey Goggle (one). I could maybe, and I mean maybe be all in on DX TV M&M's with Supers. I've got three of each now. They're pretty loose and floppy though. I'm slowing way down at this point. I've spent an embarrassing amount of money in the past year on this stuff. -
What web monitor do you use?

I think getting a fourth 21 for de-limiter mode may be the silliest purchase to date. Yeah, I nee a minty (couldn't find any non minty ones) YF-21 with Supers so I can leave half of it in the box. I'm a moron. -
Maybe not to you! j/k I didn't realize that it's die cast. Yeti doesn't make clear adapters, their only fault. I don't have much issue setting them up so that the adapters are out of the line of sight most of the time. And I get that Fligtpose won't pull off crazy angles. But colored stands just irk me bad for some reason. I feel it takes away from what is being diplayed.
-
Yuck! I can't stomach colored stands. Clear FTW!! YetiStands still reign supreme!

Wow, that Skywarp is BIG! I've never seen it contrasted against anything else.

My money is on this.

Thank you sir!

Did Hikaru's VF-1A show up in DYRL with Super Parts on it? I can't remember if it was Supers or Strikes??? Same thing with Max???? Thanks!!!
