transfan52

Im pretty much done with gundam collecting at this point but its good to see theyre focusing on more zeon units though... and about that pic with the MG RX-78 ver. 2... I think its time they stop making reiterations of that same model! Seriously every year another form of it comes out! Oh well at least theres something new and different coming to the table, I look forward to more info on the show.

hey I was collecting transformers waay before macross. and I like the name also it just sounds good to me and im used to it. Yeah it may seem out of place here but I dont care.

oh yeah lol the fat GBP hands look cool. I cant wait till I have enough to get my first set of armor parts for my VF-1S fokker.

As of right now im not really interested in the 1/60 perfect transformation vf-1s... I still got alot of the other 1/60s to collect like the sv-51s and another 1/48 vf-s roy fokker edition. I do like the fact that theyre alot cheaper then the 1/48 vf-1s though and they come with more stuff to boot. It is getting kinda annoying how long the yf-21 is taking though thats first on my list when it comes out.

LOL after seeing all those big collections I was feeling kind of envious, I only started collecting macross stuff last year to tell you the truth and I kinda regret not getting into it sooner, I first started collecting everyting else waay back around 8 years ago in 2000. First starting with gundam models, then fix line, then vintage transformers. I have a good variety of different things I like and I only stop collecting once I get tired of a current line so I never really complete anything I just like to make sure I have alot of good peices from a particular line like 10 or 12 of em then I stop. I dont think ill ever stop collecting though its just one of those ongoing hobbies that ill never grow out of.

LMFAO funny as hell!

I only have one medicom toy so far and thats a limited edition MGS 3 Naked Snake figure aka (Big Boss). At the time I paid only 180 now the figure is worth almost 400 dollars! Im not letting it go though... too rare and I like the character here are some pics.

I think its just better to wait for it on ebay or something, itll pop up as soon as its out in no time... The only problem is trying to get it before the next person because usually american toy websites get theyre orders in late as japan gets first dibs on the latest of their products. I know ill be getting one... maybe not when it first hit shelves but eventually ill grab one.

Hello guys ive been lurking around the macross forums and have seen alot of you guys collections and they look huge and very costly! I was just wondering How long it took on average for most of you guys to get those big collections to what they are today.

You know while I think it is nice and I do like the toy I would only really get it if I was a completist collector and therefore had to have every single valk ever made but alas im not, Maybe if I were rich id spend the 800 on it but even then I would feel ashamed... Just doesnt seem worth it to me.

LOL im all for spending it ne way its not like theres much we can do about it ne way. I wont argue ne more.

hey guys check this link out the new trailer for MGS 4 is here! http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33853.html

Well thats a good thing to hear but FYI the fix line is just fine IMO. Theyre really not meant to be played with too much and theyre more like pre built models then toys. That and theyre not nearly as expensive as say a valkyrie is... If they were so terrible they would have been discontinued long ago but alas they survive. The quality IMHO is waay better then what you would get from a regular 1/100 scale model or an MSIA and thats saying alot for a figure.

OMG guys the last and final trailer for MGS 4 its simply AMAZING! Check it out now got to the link below! http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33853.html

I dont know about most of you ppl on this board but you guys must be either lucky or are ignoring your already huge pile of dept... The bush administration says its to boost the american economy but in reality the money just isnt enough to prevent an eventual collapse of the american aka global economy. If I were you guys I wouldnt be so quick to spend it all on toys and pay off the dept as quickly as possible before the sh1t hits the fan.

Although many ppl around here say OMG Chunky Monkey!! It is not a great representation of a valkyrie. First of all it has the basic look of a valkyrie but nothing more... The proportions are WAY off and its movement is limited. I cant knock it too much though because it was in fact the first real transformable valkyrie toy ever. I havent gotten around to owning one yet though and after playing with my brothers a little bit I can see why... Its just too expensive for the quality of toy by todays standards, I dont care if its made out of metal or durable I just want an accurate representation of my valks period.

If your not satisfied with some of the current fix lines I doubt youll like the metal composite... Most of the metal portion is on the legs and feet. The body uses the same material as the current fix line though, PVC I guess.

Here is my 1/48 scale VF-1S Hikaru Batroid mode Next is my VF-0S 1/60 scale yamato in jet mode and my final pic is of my latest purchase, the YF-19

Here are some of the places that I shop at that are pretty good. 1. www.gundamstoreandmore.com One of the best online gundam shops around IMO, they have every model kit you can think of for gundam and are rarely out of stock on anything 2. www.gundamshop.com I dont really shop from here too much as they are almost out of stock on everything gundam related which is annoying. 3.www.imageanime.com I have bought from here a couple of times and is a great store for almost all gundam kits. Unfortunately theyre out of stock on MG and PG kits quite often. 4.www.bigbadtoystore.com This is a very good and reliable online store to get gundam stuff from, but if you wait too long kits will sell out quick. Overall I think your best bet is gundamstoreandmore.com they have almost anything gundam related that you can think of and at a low price to, sometimes they have sales on their kits too, check it out if you can.

IF I were you id probably go with the YF-19 first it is a great quality toy and so far I havent seen any flaws with mine. The transformation is more complicated then the other valks though. To all you people out there that have has problems with your VF-0s I just dont get it. Mine was pretty much fine out of the box, sure the right are elbow joint pops off every now and then but its nothing major, most of the joints are removable ne way. I think you guys just have to be careful with your toys especially when transforming them because these are complicated to transform you know. Heck if I didnt look carefully at some of my valks I would have broke them by now.

It is the MG RX-78 ver. ka, It is more detailed the the other kits and has a more slender build, Very nice kit though, it looks like a GFF once air brushed and with decals applied.

Youd be surprised how cheap I got it for I only paid 120 US for it on an ebay auction.

My first valkyrie was a 1/48 VF-1S and I have to say I loved it and still do. I dont know about the 1/60 scale though I have a 1/60 scale VF-0S and a YF-19 and I do have to say the proportions are slightly better with a smaller build and all. But for me size is better and although its more expensive I like the oversized look of the 1/48s.

Here is my modest collection of various gundam models.

Here are some pictures of my first yamato scopedog and chirico figure.
