  1. Has anyone ever purchased one of these sighns> Are they junk? They seem to go for such little money I can't imagine them being very good. But even iof they only last a year the price is right. Any help would be apreciated. eBay link If the link doesn't work it's auction # 250179295059
  2. In the sprit of Jaws "I think we need a bigger stocking"
  3. Doooooooooood! Can you give me a link to that Revoltech? I can't find it and I need one of those bad boys, it looks incredible! thanks
  4. They go a lot further forward than in the pic though. I have all of these two, most doubles. I think they are great.
  5. Yeah, except for the fact that I got one of the loose ones. I tried to do some sort of pose this morning and I can't even get the arms to do anything short of hang, lol. Nothing a tube of Super Glue can't fix! He's a brick now
  6. You put your chocolate in my peautbutter!
  7. When I first saw the pics I wasn't in love, but I got one anyway. I'm glad I did. Once I got my first one I ordered a 2nd right away. After the Foker VF-1 the 51 is my favorite now. There is something sinister that the other Mecha doesn't pull off. I can't wait for the Nora. Then we will have sinister and sexy!
  8. Get the Nora. Nothing on your shelf will stand out like she will.
  9. I got both of my SV-51's and my VF-0S w/ Ghosts from these guys: eBay name crosszgundam and their store is Crazy Toys Paradise store I got my SV-51's for under $200 delivered to the US and I think I was the first person here to get one inside the US. I never even pre-ordered it. They day it was released I just searched them out on eBay and did a Buy It Now. I got both of my VF-0S's for $213 delivered also. I got all of them within 5 days.
  10. I put my second one together yesterday and it was fantastic. Everything was so tight it was silly. And just for fun I transformed my old VF-0S from fighter into Batdroid and it's a floppy peice of crap. The new ones are a thousand times better!
  11. Click, click, click. Ordered em' all (except 3) thanks
  12. Most people will think I am odd but I don't care a whole lot for the transformation process. I like setting them up and most importantly looking at them. I work with my hands all day for a living though. Minipulating small objects isn't exactly at the top of my list of things to do
  13. Thanks for the compliments guys!
  14. I have no idea what the "models" are based on, but they seem like some sort of Police force type thing. That would mean lots of training, and therefore rigid and boring, LOL. Maybe I didn't go crazy with their poses because they just look so damn cool! I love those guys! Maybe I will spend some time getting them dialed in a little more this weekend. I do have some Yamato stuff to unpack though. That will suck up a few hours.......oh darn
  15. I was screwing around on Google last night looking for walpaper and stubled across this. I wish I knew who to give credit to, but I don't.
  16. I just got these perfect shelves at Lowes today and put them up for my Revoltechs (need to work on lighting still though). They couldn't be sized any better methinks.
  17. Gotta have three of your favorites, then you don't have to decide how to display them.

    Favorite Valk

    I didn’t know what Macross was until a few months ago when I joined here. I was only familiar with Robitek. I’m glad I found this forum! I remember RT from when I was a kid, but even after watching the real “Macross” over the past few weeks I can say I must not have seen too many of the first generation episodes. I remember the mecha (I had a Jetfire too), but I don’t remember 90% of the episodes. I remember watching the stupid Hovertanks and not understanding how that part of the series fit in. My favorite stuff was the “New Generation” stuff, or as it should be called, Genesis Climber Mospedia (I just got the DVD of this yesterday). I was an absolute nut for those episodes, so of course the toy that sticks with me the most would be the Cyclone. I remember there was a crappy second rate department store that was in the crappy second rate mall that had the Gakken Cyclones on the shelf. I had been to every toy store I could get my Mom to take me too and I never, ever saw any RT stuff, let alone a Asian market toy. For some reason I remember that the Cyclone was $36, which was a bit of change for a 7-8th grader. It’s a good thing I had a paper route! I think I had three or four Cyclones. It’s too bad I didn’t keep any. Strangely enough though I can thank the Cyclone for getting me into Macross. For some reason this past summer I remembered that I had one as a kid and I jumped on eBay and searched one out and bought it. And that is all she wrote! I stumbled across the Toynami Mastercrap stuff and in a flurry of insanity I bid/bought all of them one weekend while I was at the track. While doing great harm to my Paypal account I stumbled across the Yamato YF-19 and picked one of those up too. When I got back into town the Toynami MP Foker was already at my house so I unboxed it and transformed it. At the time I thought it was great. Then the YF-19 showed up a few days later along with the rest of the MP stuff. I unboxed the 19 before un-boxing any more MP stuff and I am glad I did, the 19 blew me away. And there I went, I listed all of the MP stuff I had just purchased right back on eBay and went on a Yamato spending spree. Somehow I found this board shortly after. Long story short, the Gakken Cyclone is the toy I remember. And I can thank it for getting me into Macross stuff now. I know, it's not a Valk, but it's a good story
  19. I'll take that as a compliment I think it was last week a few of us were goofing with the 19 and what you could do with the fold booster in batroid. It may even be in this thread. I didn't want to take my fold booster off of my fighter so I ordered another booster the next day. I planned on having to modify the shield in some way to get the booster to attach and imagine my surprise when it just cliped right on, and fairly well too. It won't fall off, that's for sure. I think it looks great on there, I'm not taking it off, thats's for sure. Now all I have to do is figure out what to do with the fold booster that looks cool in gerwalk Here is another shot to tide things over till Sunday. I just got another VF-0S with Booster, SV-51 and a Hikaru with TV fastpacks I need to get out of the boxes. And I added a new level to my shelves and more lighting the other day. Can you tell I like the 19 a little?
  20. Anyone got a link to Macross 7 Encore? A place to buy one? thanks
  21. Very large respect, nice work
