  1. Cool!

    I ask because I restrict my toy purchasing to items based on designs that are either canon, or at least have some existing inspiration and are not newly concocted by the product design team to boost sales.

    So is it fair to say, then, that the specific Real Type Gundam color scheme used in the most recent FIX and Jumbo Grade toys has been around since the 80's?

    Thanks!

    In the early 80's, the guy who did all the mobile suit designs for the original Gundam series went back and did a series of artworks known as Mobile Suit Variation (MSV). Besides depicting mobile suits that didn't make the final TV cut (if Gundam had gone to 52 episodes, there had been additional mobile suits planned), alternate variants and paint jobs of some of the existing suits. This included "real type" paint jobs.

    BTW, still waiting for BBTS to do another 40% sale on the Jumbo Grade figures so I can get Char's Zaku II and the Real Type Gundam! :D

  2. I've got a 1/60 VF-1J Hikaru with GBP-1S set, if you're still interested.

    It was opened back in the day, but never transformed, played with, etc. 100% mint, complete, stickers unapplied, etc.

    I'm going to be travelling on business till October 28, but let me know if you're interested and I'll set it aside for you. I actually have a bunch of stuff I am unloading soon, but just saw your post and figured I'd mention this one item.

    PM me! :)

  3. also, has anybody made decent stickers yet for the toynami 1/100's? While I'm at it... I need stickers for my vf0s. Time to contact taka. Anyway, if someone can find me a VF1D that isn't 70 dollars, that'd be awesome. As for the banpresto strike parts... well, I won't hold my breath. Also. Anybody have a banpresto Max VF1J (solid blue)?

    Thanx all!

    I've got a MIB 1/60 VF-1J Hikaru Type and GBP-1S set if you're interested.

  4. Hey. I've got a 100% pristine, untouched RX-178 Gundam MK-II, A.E.U.G. Perfect Grade, if you're interested.

    I will email you pics.

    Let me know what you got for Gundam or Evangelion PG kits, in whatever shape. I'll even take built if they're done right. I don't need a Wing Gundam or Char's Zaku.

  5. Welcome! I've got two Yamato 1/60, Toys "R" Us Japan 10th Anniversary, Limited Edition VF-1A Mass Production Valkyries. Opened the box up back in 2001, transformed the toy into battroid, back into fighter, then back into the box for the last 5 years. Should have just kept in MISB and not kill the resale value, but they were so pretty...

    Both 100% mint and complete, unused decals, paperwork, etc. Boxes in C8+ condition, the way I received them from the seller in Japan. Ironically, this was the way I got back into the valk craze, buying up the the TRU special editions for $110 a pop.

    Asking $55 each. $5 off the total if you buy both. Let me know what your email is, and I can send you large pics.

    Sent you a PM as well.

    Im new on here and I just started collecting Macross stuff (I sold all my TF stuff off) and Im looking for the best prices on some stuff, and it seems cheaper than ebay. so here's my list. You can PM me or post in here and I'll get back to you. Im not overly picky on box conditions either, as I believe toys are meant to be played with.

    Yamato 1/60 (anything except DYRL Roy Focker unless he has the strike kit, I have him already.)

    Yamato 1/48

    Robotech Masterpiece ( These I would prefer the boxes were in decent shape, they don't have to be mint but displayable) except for Rick , Roy, Max, and Jack.

    I don't have any of the alpha's and Im very interested in them but most importantly I want Appendix B and C!!!!!!!!!!

    My biggest wants however are : Yamato's YF-19 and YF-21!!!

  6. you looking for the 17" ones or the shorter, SOC sized ones?

    I've got a 6"-ish Marmit Getter Dragon fig, but I'm not sure what line it's from.

    Thanks for the reply, cube. I'm looking for the 17" PVC figures, however. Looking on eBay for ages, but these two never seem to want to surface...

  7. Been years since I last posted anywhere here, but figured it was the best place to start my new search.

    Anyone have a Marmit Daigokin Mazinger Z they'd be willing to sell? The original, not the black, gold or silver repaints...

    Thanks!

  8. Ahh, ok. The extra piece works like a charm once I snap the hatch into it, below the level at which it is normally flush with the rest of the fuselage in fighter mode.

    STILL can't get the arms to stay higher in fighter mode though. The instructions indicate a hole in the armor where the pegs in the leg slot into, thereby locking the arms up in a higher position, but in actuality the hole is little more than a half-formed indentation....so my arms keep slipping out of proper positioning and dragging...

  9. Can't seem to keep the backpack on my 1/48 up with the FAST packs attached in battroid mode.

    Also, in fighter mode, can't seem to find a way to get the arms (with FAST packs on) to lock against the legs and not drag the gunpod on the ground...

    Any suggestions?
