    Is the low-vis going to be re-released?

    Honestly, how hard would it really be to double up on the scaling and make 1/24 scale Valks? That'd give Yamato's designers all the room in the world to stuff them full of detail...AND completely 100% perfect transformation.

    No kidding!

    Since Yamato really likes to sell their products in huge boxes I can't imagine it for that scale! I will have to remove my WC to put it! :huh:

    Whats up with Sunwards?

    Hello

    I think I lost part of this history. Up to I know this company was going to distribute macross toys but even its web page is down

    Can someone could tell me what was wrong now?

    (Sorry if this was a past topic... I search for a previous one but I didn't found it)

    The Mac+/Macross 7 valkyries' transformations would not lend themselves well to Banprestos, so far as I'm concerned.

    well, they could increase the scale a little bit :p

    I really like to own a YF21 squadron :):):)

    By the way... has banpresto made a toy containing diecast?

    Hi everybody

    All of us have seen (and bought, maybe) the banpresto valkyries. Even when they are cheap, they look great.

    Could it be possible to see a VF-11B, a YF-19, a YF-21 or a elintseeker or something else??? :)

    Maybe this is a license issue but who knows... :p:p:p

    Seems Bandai doesn't care about macross fans... They are more interested in gundam, Saint Seiya or Dragon Ball stuff... Fortunately there is another company over the ring (you know who I'm talking about ;) )

    Macross toys at the supermarket

    Ah, if you are talking about Department Stores and not Supermarkets, which are a completely different kettle of fish, then yes, the Department Stores here in HK (Jusco, Sogo & Mitsokushi) all have fairly large toy sections with lots of Japanese toys and models like Gundam MSiA, GFF & plamodels, the Bandai SOCs as well as the more kiddy stuff which I ignore like the Kamen Rider toys, Transformers, Ultraman, and toys from those Power Ranger type shows. No Macross stuff at all though. The department stores in HK are usually very overpriced. The only department store here which doesn't have a decent toy section is Seiyu.

    Graham

    Yeah... maybe Graham is right... I had a misconception about HK... I thought buying a macross toy in HK was as easy as buy a bulb :p

    Anyway.. You can say you can get overpriced toys in department stores but that's better than nothing

    I had to pay u$120 additionally just for shipping in my last order and $200 in the previous one :(:(:(

    I remember when some bandai super Vf-1S were available at Liverpool (A big departmental store here in Mexico) at the beginning of 90's... I was a poor student then but anyway a used to be a starwars fan ^_^

    Since then it has not had any macross related toy available here... just at some toy stores with a stratospheric price (a 1/60 yamato vf-1a for U$150) :angry:

    I actually woundn't want to see macross stuff in a supermarket. If that were the case, I'd always come home with some milk, bread, microwave food, and a valk!! And instead of my total being 20 for food, it would be like 112 with the valks!!! ARRGGHH!! that would be the end of my bank account! I'd be left homeless!

    Well, I'm sure we would pay much less for each part of our collection sometimes ;)

    Just thing:

    Hello!

    I guess this topic could be a little bit stupid for someone in the other side of the world, but I just can't realize how can the toy market is in Asian countries (Japan, HK, Singapur, etc)

    I would be one of the most happy persons in the world if I could find all those great toys at my local supermarket. Oh goood, stands full of Yamato, bandai, Aioshima, Takara, fewture toys.... valkyrias, mazingers, evas, transformers and gundams (o well, there are some of em here in Mexico, but not as much as I would like). I swear I would spend hours and hours at the toy department in each shop. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I was wondering if there are magazinges adds, tv commercials or ... I don't know, just like if they were selling shampoes, or cat food, or sodas...

    I'm considering seriously kidnap my neighbor's dog to joint to the shopathon next january :p

    What's the most you've OVERpaid for a toy??

    :p Hey! wait! :mellow: I..... I had a flashback.... :huh: Now .... I remember.... :unsure: Ohhh F*********K!!!!

    I paid more than $60 for a pile of junk that used to be an Optimus Prime. It was one of my first bids I won (not eBay, btw) and I was very unexperienced in those things... :wacko: The fact to have won this item to other possible buyers made me very happy :blink::blink::blink: whatta stupid

    I guess it was one of the worst experience I have had in auctions....

    As soon as I remember where I dropped these bulk of garbage I will throw it in my basket trash.
