I also did not receive anything yet. I PM'd Rob and am just gonna wait for a response.

Hopefully it will arrive soon...

I just got a PM from Rob. Looks like I should be receiving it in a week or so. You're probably in the same boat.

I still haven't received anything. Anyone out there besides myself that has yet to receive their goods?

Got the 2 I ordered a few days ago. Thanks, Rob.

That's encouraging! Perhaps things were just really delayed. Fingers crossed!

Hello all,

I just got a few PM's with people who haven't recieved their order yet. All of them were mailed. I am going to the Post Office on Monday to see what is going on. I will post an update as soon as I get more info.

Rob

I was just about to inquire about this since I haven't seen mine yet either. Fingers crossed everything is fine

Also I wanted to add, they rest have also been mailed. But I did it last night and the Post Office said there may be delays because of the holiday.

Rob

I didn't see my name on the list, but hopefully mine was also mailed out with the rest?

Not a problem. I appreciate the frequent updates. You're doing a big service for all us buyers so it's much appreciated. I've waited this long: I can wait a while longer. Cheers.

Thanks for the update Rob!

You have been doing a great service for us for quite some time now so waiting a little longer is not a problem. Take care and good luck!

Yeah, no problems. I was just wondering what happened and then GogDog led me here from TFW2005. Questions answered. Thanks dude! Now to continue my stalking...

I recommend waiting to see how the new 1/60 scale VF-1 Valkyrie series from Yamato turns out. From all that we know and have seen, it's looking to arguably be the best transformable rendition of the VF-1 yet in terms of a balance between looks, poseability, details, and transformation process. And it's smaller without being tiny.

Otherwise up to this point, the 1/48 VF-1 is a fantastic purchase although may be bigger than what you'd be interested in.

Some people love the Toynami 1/100 VF-1s. I don't like them so I don't own any.

I've seen images of the 1/60 and it does look really nice. People have said it is going to be the definitive Valk, so I think I may take your advice and wait for a bit. Thanks for the input!

You raise a good question there. To be honest with ya...you stand the chance of getting a large amount of various opinions on this matter. I agree with Sumdumgai that you should wait for the new v.2 1/60 scale VF-1s by Yamato to get a good sized valk. that seems to be one of the best coming out. I myself am a fan of alot of different valks. I like the 1/55 bandai Chunky Monkey, the Yamato 1/48 and I even like the Toynami 1/100s. Granted...the toynamis can be giant pieces of $hit but at the same time they can be hella fun. If you wanna try out a transformable VF-1 for cheap...then getting a toynami 1/100 is a good place to start. But PLEASE DO NOT base your opinions from then on for transformable VF-1s by that. Godd luck and welcome to Macross World.

I went to a hobby store and took a good look at the toynami 1/100s. I like the price point on these, but the quality seemed a bit weak. I think I should do a bit more searching. I think I may be better off spending a bit more for a better quality figure. Thanks for the welcome! Glad to be here

Hello everyone,

Newbie to Macross here. (Hopefully I have the right thread this time! ) I've watched the old Macross/Robotech series as a child and I loved it. I've recently returned to collecting and I have been really interested in revisiting some of these Macross toys. I had a Valkyrie from way back when, but now there are so many different brands and models, it's kind of hard to figure out where I want to start.

I have been collecting Revoltech for a while now and I've got all the Macross ones (Valkyries and Regult), and now I want some actual transforming ones. I'm not a completionist, or scale collector, so none of that really matters to me. I am a size person, in that I don't really like huge toys clogging up my shelves. Prefer the smaller ones (articulation is important. Not interested in buying any bricks). I've been looking at Toynami's 1/100 Max and Milia Jenius Valkyries as a good place to start. I've heard the quality is pretty decent. Along with Wave's SDF-1, although the price on that one is kind of steep (wondering if it's worth it. Can grab it off Ebay for about $100 - $110). That's what actually got me really interested again, seeing that SDF-1, which I think looks fantastic, but can't make up my mind on.

If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations, I'd love to hear it!

Cheers,

Well, welcome to MW, pub333!

Well, I had seen most MW members recommend 1/55 Bandai valks if you ever get a hand of it. They have a sturdy body, and has a good articulation for a 80s toy.

Anyway, this is not the right forum to ask your question. You should go to Toys forum instead.

Okay, no prob! thanks for the info. I'll post my question there.

Pew-pew! VoooOOOOooomm! ...Man, it's been a long time since I posted pics here.

Is that the 1/100th?

ATTENTION: Everyone who preordered a Revoltech Millia VF-1J (Hobby Japan Exclusive) from SAMURAI MONKEY, get your butts over to his site now to put your payment in!

Don't miss out! I almost forgot, myself. The final cost ends up being around $58.75 for one, which seems a bit much at first...until you factor in shipping costs to him from HJ and then to you...plus the price of the magazine (required to order the figure). Rob's a great guy for providing this service to us, so don't delay!

Thanks for the info! Been looking all over for a place to order these. Digital-toys had them for preorder for $22, but I totally missed out on them. BBTS had them for $44, so it's comparable.
