They are trading figures but they are probably like the Macross character figures where if you buy a box you get two sets of them.

The red Regult looks like a protoype since the paint detail is missing....but then again the paint scheme looks kind of like a Glaug.

I'm not sure if there are 10 in a box or not, but most places have 10 boxes for about $30. The auctions are starting on ebay.

I say the Prime. Given the availability of other Prime/Transformer pieces it's best to get that first.

So both transforming and non-transforming figures are in the same box?

Did Takara announce that this would be limited? I don't know why they keep limiting stuff when they could sell tons of them.

The question is: Did the builder build it to scale?

Not that I really care because that thing is pretty damn sweet. Can you imaging how much that thing would cost if it came straight from Lego?!

The price you're paying in USD is dependent upon the cost of the valk, shipping costs, and the strength of the dollar.

Wow, that sounds like a custom even I could do. Nice work and nice decals!

I'd make Robotech... then I'd have A7 as my casting director... YEAH... Tera as Minmay... I can see it now...

Well, if you insist...

Oh, c'mon, A7, you're not even trying. Peter North as Rick? Dude, that's all sorts of wrong. But it would be funny to see Ron Jeremy as Gloval.

I'm surprised my memory was good enough to remember two of them since I never actually had any of them, but I always wanted Overdrive. He was the only one worth having.

Did these guys ever make it into the cartoon?

How much are the Hasbro version going for? I might get it for my little nephew...

then I can point and laugh at him whan I show him my die cast version!!!

Exo

BBTS has them for about $23 so they probably will be around $20 at normal retail places. Did you get your Takara ones yet?

I wouldn't. I'd rather take a live action movie and turn it into a cartoon not vice versa. Why take characters and objects that depend on anime magic and bring them into the real world to constrain them by real world physics and limited special effects?! It's going backwards.

In case you're tempted by bootlegs, you should chose carefully. I have the red shouldered valkyrie, the better bootleg with grey shoulders and the Bandai. (It's my own varied Emerald Force. ) The bootleg with grey shoulders is pretty good but the Bandai is still the best. All around I think it's worth getting the original unless you're low of funds.

Wow, that is nice work, but now I really want to see this diorama.

Wow, once again, Agent ONE manages to make some sort of horrifically offensive comment. Hooray for him.

Huh?

I assume this is in the wrong topic.

Anyway....yeah, what tom said. The VF-17S/D, Fire and Blazer were originally released in generic boxes in battroid but only the VF-17S and Fire were re-issued in Fighter mode packaging. Of course I probably just regurgitated what was in tom's link but on well. I'm too lazy to click on links....but obviously not too lazy to type this out. Go figure.

I've ordered from them before. They are pretty reliable. Some of their prices are really high but they are good if they have what you need.

My account is still active since I've never been banned. I have been censored once or twice but I felt that my remarks were pretty civil. Oh well. <_<

In a slightly OT note:

Due to Robotech, the original three Japanese series will always be linked. I was reading whatever issue of Toyfare is our right now and they were talking about the top 100 most expensive toys and a sidebar was expensive prototypes. In the sidebar they mention the $7,000 Robotech Beta but they start the blurb out by saying "From the world of Macross..." D'oh!

Don't the Invid and the Cyclone rider know that they could get runover by cars playing in the street like that?!

Yeah, and I've seen better covers. What happened to good covers that actually gave a glimpse of what the story inside was about. Everything is a pin up now!

I'd rather see something like the Thunder Hammers. A black valk sounds cool but I think for it to really look good there would have to be a lot of highlights and details on it to make it interesting for me.

Okay, WTF?! I like Eva and I like armor but that is ridiculous! Yeah, why does an Eva need armor? And why does it need weird armor like that? The Evas can withstand an N2 mine. What is out there that it can't handle?

I think I have about 12 or 13. One each of the re-issues plus three extra super 1Ss, a strike valk, a 1990 re-issue, jetfire and a joons. Oh and two $5 boots.

Still working on organizing my collection into displays.

The first three disc are really slow. I had trouble getting into it but then in disc 4 things pick up and get interesting. I'm on disc 6 right now and it's pretty interesting except that I'm a little lost since I don't remember the first few discs.

Oh yeah, and the TAs are pretty damn cool looking.

Edit: I was wondering , if you order one of these 10pcs boxes , would you get transformable VF-1s as well as non-transformable VF-1s or will they sell them as separate items (i.e. one box with transformable VF-1s and other with non-transformable VF-1s) ?

Yeah, I'm interested about this too. Does anyone know? Kevin? Will? Anybody?

I'd love an original gbp but for now I'm happy with my two recasts from myersjesse. Whoohoo! But does anyone have stickers for it?

Okay, that's pretty sweet. I like the concept too.

I usallly ask for toys from some of my friends and most of them are pretty good about getting the right things if it's easy but mostly they just get me other stuff like DVDs. My friends are cool though about hooking me up with stuff. I got a Super Ostrich for my b-day in Sept.
