    WANTED: Yamato Stealth Fast pack

    in Wanted

    Posted

    backordered status is better than discontinued

    so thats good news. i need more sets of those

    I just ordered a set for my 1/48 Strike Hikky. If I don't want them by the time I get them I will just sell them. What a good price though...$55 before shipping. Good deal HLJ.

    Thanks you 2 for the answers. I want to order a second one since I already have 1 coming from Los. But y'all know me and how impatient I am and don't like waiting. So I would want it to arrive before the 13th. I don't think that 10 days from now is too much to ask for in order to receive it if I order now.

    Quick question...I was considering ordering a VF-1A Hikaru from HLJ with EMS shipping. If I put an order in today...that means that it would prob. go out in the morning (US time) how long should it take to get to Colorado? Do you think I would have it within 7 days? Anyone who orders through HLJ living in California please do let me know ASAP. THANKS!

    I figured you guys could relate. Robotech hadn't hit the states yet and the only anime I was aware of at the time was G-Force and Gaiking (spelling). I remember going to Service Merchandise in the spring of 1985 and seeing Jetfire for the first time. Still remember the stickered price tag on it for $29.95; Service Merchandise was a little more expensive than Target and Wal-Mart. Who would have known 24 years these toys would be as popular as they are today.

    Man, I think back to January of this year when I started looking for a Jetfire toy and started seeing all these "different color" Jetfires. I was like who would want a Jetfire with Black and Yellow on it??? Then I saw the Yamato "Jetfires" and was holy shiggity!!! Once I realized what I was looking at, it brought back memories of Robotech; that "more realistic Transformers" cartoon. I had to purchase all the videos to start watching them again and by then Macross had peaked my interest.

    That's my story of how I came to fall in love with this highly addictive hobby, but seeing the old toys that started it all sure does bring back fond memories of being a kid!

    The toys today can't be marketed with handguns. I had friends who had Megatron way back when and we never had the desire to shoot or harm anyone or do anything violent. We were just kids playing Transformers with a toy that happened to transform into a handgun. Things sure have changed!

    I know....I wish I would have known what the G-1s would have been worth when I was a kid. I would have been more careful (and I was VERY careful) with my toys and not have gotten rid of them. I also would have asked for a new JetFire every christmas and birthday and then held onto them and sold them all for a crap load of mula to spend on Macross now days. Can you believe what toys have come to these days? I totally get ya on the handgun thing. Back in the day no one would have dreamt of using Megatron to hurt someone else. You know what I mean. B))

    So I'm at my mom's house visiting recently and thumb through some old photo albums. I come across some pictures from Chirstmas 1984. I was 10 years and in 5th grade then; a true kid of the 80's! A time before mp3 players. Peep the chunky knock-off "Sony Walkman" cassette player that I was so proud of! That thing only had fast forward on it. I remember having to press stop and eject to flip the tape over to rewind! Ha! My friends thought I was odd because I was into the US Truck electric track sets instead of the racing car sets. When the GI Joe version was released I begged and pleaded for it and low and behold old jolly St. Nick came through! And my goodness, Transformers were born! I lucked up and got Soundwave. I had friends who got Optimus Prime, Megatron, Jazz, Starscream, Thundercracker, Bluestreak, etc. Later that chilly, brisk and overcast afternoon we all met up at the neighborhood playground and were out in the dirt playing Transformers! I even brought my C.L.A.W. (that red wagon deal that Soundwave is sitting in) to get in on the action.

    Man oh man, what it was to be a kid back then!

    Let's see you guys old school pics!
