recon

Hey there BOB and Gobotfool, Yah i must say its quite costly to get both of them as it really put a huge dent in my bank account, for this december, not only that i got the 1/48 VF-1J/Non Fps as well as a diamond ring for proposing to my fiancee...that really cost my whole bonus, but trust me guys its worth it. Ok back to the topic and questions, the MP OP is really a work of art, just by looking at the figure alone is enough to have you mystified by its beauty and sculpt...handling and transforming will have you gasped at its weight, sturdiness, features as well as its mechanical design and transformation sequence. I must say those who were not really keen on the previous G1 or G2 issues due to its sculpt and size, this is a defintely must get ..why? cos its has the feel of a chunky monkey but yet process the beauty of a yamato 1/48..sorry about having to use macross products to describe the MP OP. keke I intend to collect all of the MP OP series if they do ever release them...secretly im hoping for a MP GodGinrai version, cos Headmasters was my Fav TF anime during my time..boy will have to get 2 sets again if they do release...another big dent. With regards to the price, i bought mine for both SGD$170 each which works out to roughly USD$99.3087, for those who are overseas, the shipping and taxes will be added on, so in all it will work out to be from the range of USD $90 to $110...close to the price of a 1/48. I must say alot of us here in SG have abit of MISB syndrome, one for playing and one for safekeeping. Someone even went to the extend of ordering 8 MP OP..why? he has a Mint in Seal Box Sealed Case (MISC) syndrome, 6 for keeping in the box (Each carton holds about 6 MPOP) and 2 for display, one in Robot form, one in truck form...boy he must be loaded!! . The reason i bought two is cos i will buy 2 of any toy i really love alot..just in case of emergencies it got damaged or lost and if i have a son in the future, these will be passed on to him too only at a later age...father has one, son also has his own toy too. Final conclusion, get it while you can before scalpers jack up the market price due to its limited quantity...believe me you will enjoy this toy Cheers

Hi guys, Its a must get i must confess. Even though im a diehard Macross fan, i was blown away by its beauty and sculpt, not to mentioned the articulation and features incorporated into the overall design itself. In the end i got myself two sets, one for display and one for MISB. Im sure you wun regret once you have this baby in your hands. Sheesh i just have to gourge on bread during lunch time for the next 2 weeks with the money i spend on the 1/48 VF-1J and MP OP, nevertheless its worth it as i couldnt help but admire it, its the feeling same as when i get my first 1/48. A truly Masterpiece. Cheers

Hi guys, Thought you might be interested in a picture of the upcoming CM figures part 2 release. Sorry to say i have only one picture available. Perhaps with your resourcefulness, im sure you have ways to get more from the web itself. Meanwhile Enjoy. Cheers

Holy cow, Grassland, you have 11 1/48s? 22 1/60 and 7 1/72s. Thats alot of valkyries, your wallet must hate you and surely Yamato loves ya. You are getting close to Sithlord and Chan's numbers in collection. Okie back to the topic: My collection so far..... 1/48s = 6 1/48 Fps = 6 1/72 = 2 Sorry no 1/60s as im focusing my collection on the 1/72 and 1/48s, maybe i will get a 1/60 Qrau when it comes out. Cheers

Whats the price of a non Fp version for the 1/48 VF-1J in HK dollars? Im not too worried as its usually the Fp versions which are more popular. Are there still alot of non Fp 1/48 VF-1J available in the local market there? Cheers

I will be staying at BP International Hotel Hey Graham, i will later PM you my fiancee HP number as the date draws near so that we could remain in contact in case of emergencies. Cheers
