I've recently decided to add a VF-0 to my collection. I know the earlier models had bad shoulders, and I'm willing to entertain offers on broken/repaired ones.
Just trying my luck out here before I take up another offer.
email me as I always forget to check my pm box here. juise99@gmail.com
Thanks

This looks sweet. I'm going to have to find my Homeworld discs.

My wife's family gave me a bunch of Transformer Dinobots still MIB along with some other G1 TF. Also, I got a MIB Zartan and Swamp Speeder, G.I.Joe Hoovercraft, and a First issue G.I.Joe Scarlett (before they had the swivel arms) MOC. As for Star Wars stuff, I got a MIB Y-wing, and a bunch of droids MOC as well. As a toy collector of sorts, I was blown away by the condition of these toys. They are absolutely perfect. I'm gonna get the dinobots graded. There's always something nice about getting old toys as new ones. Oh, to relate this to Macross/Robotech, I got the Battlepod MIB as well as the Invid Shock Trooper. Very cool stuff. Congrats on the ex giving you stuff. That's always a cool thing since they usually give men nothing but grief after it's all said and done.
Thats awesome!
I didn't mention it here but I got a carded Star Wars 12 back R2D2 and C3PO, and a bunch of gold coin Droid figures with this too!

juise,
I'm not trying to pry into your personal life, but I am curious how your ex ended up with this in her basement for so many years. Was it originally yours when you were still together? With the exception of the crushed box, it is really in excellent condition and doesn't seem to show any signs of aging. It's stories like these that makes me want to search garage sales from time to time in the off chance of finding some gems. I imagine if you were not a Macross or anime fan you might not have wanted it, and it probably would have been sold in a garage sale at some point. Then you would probably have someone on MW boasting about what a lucky and awesome find they were able get.
My ex is considerably older then me (like 12 years). Her family buys _ANYTHING_ if its on sale. She bought that her self planning on giving it to her nephew, but never did. So it wound up in a hefty bag in the basement for the past 20 years! There were about a dozen MOSC "Star Wars Droids" figures in the bag too. I told her to keep them and put them up since they go for about $25 a figure MOSC.
Since the scans turned out bigger then I expected I put them on Rapidshare
-
Hey juise, can you do a nice scan of the sticker sheet and instructions. It would be cool to be able to make new sticker sheets for it, or at least get the pattern to cut out new striping, etc.
Sure. PM me your email address so I can send them as big as possible in decent format like PNG. Otherwise it'll be photobucket resized jpg.

Free after 22 years!

So who wants to sell me a loose Zentraedi warrior?
-
I decided I'm going to open my recent acquisition. So now I'm going to need a Zentraedi warrior to pilot it. I've found them MOC for $20. I much rather get a loose one so I don't have to open 2, 22 year old toys in one day
-
If you are really going to open the box and handle the toy, please wash your hands thoroughly or wear gloves.
Bwahaha, yeah yeah I know... I was doing brakes earlier that day so my hands were all messed up. By the time I took that pic I had already washed my hands 4 or 5 times.
-
Finally got it, and took pics.
The box is far from mint as you can see, but it is sealed. For 22 years old I have to say the color is pretty good. So do I open it and flatten the box, or do I leave it as it?
-
if you were clever, you'd know that searching completed auctions on ebay is your friend
then you'd see that loose ones are fetching between 47-76 dollars
Yeah I already did that, but sometimes theres a huge gap between MISB and loose, a boxed one recently went for ~$100.
I do plan on keeping it, but I'm not a big Macross/Robotech collector, so I was curious.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
-
Wow guys 152 views and no replies?
-
Yeah thats right, my EX is giving me a MISB Officers Battle pod she found in her basement. While I plan on keeping it, I'm curious what this bad boy is worth.
I'll post pics when she sends them to me. she said the box is a lil beat-up but its still sealed according to her. I do know it's a Matchbox and not a Exo-Squad ver.

After picking up a Gundam Panel Liner Marker at my local hobby shop, I felt like there is still something better out there. It's called Prismacolor Premier 005 by Sanford! I know Sanford makes Sharpie's but the 005 point is much finer then anything else at my local art store. So I thought I'd share the find.

mister_e Strikes again! Thanks to him I finally have 1/48 Yamato VF-1S with a strike pack to boot!
-
I just want to take this opportunity to thank the MW community, and bash Toynami! I never heard back from Toynami even though I called twice after they missed their first promised call back date. It would seem their "customer service" matches the quality of their products, complete crap!
On the other hand you guys have saved my Miriya from a good solid toss into the wall.
-
Just finished a deal with Jasonc another great MW seller.
-
Had another smooth deal with Chowser. Thanks again.
-
Sorry I got so many request that weren't related to what I actually wanted I forgot who I answered.
-
I'm looking for 4 sets of 1/48 Fast Packs, either new or used, but complete.
Theres a good seller on TFW2005 that has one for sale. I pm'd him a link to this post.

Another good TFW seller, he's actually on this board too Sunnyday77.
-
I actually have a couple Miriya MPCs in "spare parts mode". PM me if you still need the light.
Jasonc to the rescue! I knew MWer's would have what I needed! When its fixed this thing is going on the OMG DO NOT TOUCH shelf with my MP-5 Megatron and G1 Devastator.
-
Well Dude Toynami didn't call me back Wednesday, so I called them at 4:30 Wednesday. Another guy in customer service told me the guy taking care of my problem wasn't in but he'd leave a reminder on that guys desk. Didn't hear from him Thursday. So I called back today at 3pm and he wasn't there again. This isn't looking good, so I am still actively looking for a junker "Masterpiece".
-
Although it might be a little late, if you know for sure that your MPC was missing the wing light when you got it, you can always try to contact Toynami and see if they have any spare parts
You know I've tried emailing them before and have never gotten a response. So I looked up their phone number and gave them a call. The guy on the phone said he'll contact the warehouse and see if they have any. He said he will call me back in 3 days. Here's to hoping!
-
I no longer need the missile packs (thanks chowser). I still need the wing light. Come on guys, knowing how poorly these things are made I know someone has a broken "masterpiece" somewhere.
WTB: Konig (any version but Bandai preferred), & Yamato VF-0A box
in Wanted
Posted
I'm looking to get a Konig preferably the Bandai version, but I'm open to both. In order to keep cost down I'm willing to entertain loose, or damaged figures. I am also in looking for a box for my Yamato VF-0A I picked one up loose, a few months ago and I wouldn't mind picking up a box & instructions for it. P.M. with offers.
Thanks guys!
