  1. I haven't been on the board for a while, but wanted to chime in on my opinion about the VF-0D.

    I received mine the other day I after a long layoff from buying any Macross stuff, and I am very happy with this purchase.

    The level of detail for me is excellent, and I look forward to showing my co-workers who are into Anime this piece of art!

  2. My toy investing gave me enough captital to buy real estate wich led me to become a millionaire. There are people that are billionaires now because of investing in toys. Now when I say investing, I dont mean toy hording. I always see people on these boards saying that investing in toys is a bad idea, but I doubt that anybody in this forum is stacking greenbacks like me. :rolleyes:

    This sounds like an infomercial! :lol:

  3. Wow. Looks like my hopes of a new low vis is coming true! I would prefer it to be a 1S version since the Hikaru 1J is a greyish color. I would hope Yamato respects the limited release for the low vis 1A to keep fans happy.

  4. I've got a nice situation going.  My LowVis is down at my girlfriend's grandparent's house in Anaheim area (where I bought it).  It was too big to fit in my luggage so I left it with them.  That was like a year ago and I still haven't been able to pick it up.  I want MY low vis and I can't get to it :(

    Why don't you have them ship it to you? I would just in case your relationship goes south with the girlfriend. It would suck to see your Low Vis on ebay and an ex selling it! :o

  5. Can people stop talking about bringing back a "LIMITED EDITION" toy already? <_< That is pretty much the annoying thing that is brought up every time a reissue of a 1/48 pops up. Almost as annoying as the "When is the YF-19 with FP going to show up" statement.

    When is the 1/48 YF-19 with fast packs going to show? Dude keep you negativty to yourself. This was a nice discussion about ideas for the other variants until you negative opinion reared its ugly head. Nowhere in this thread did the YF-19 come up until you brought your little tirade in to the mix. I would like to see anything other than a re-release. It was a breath of fresh air with the 1A Brownie release, and now we are seeing more re-releases.

  6. Instead of reissuing LE 1A, do a low vis LE 1J and 1S. (at normal prices of course)

    Remember when people thought the low visibility was going to appear in macross zero because of the pilot and the sticker sheet? :D Maybe if they make a movie version of zero they could have the low vis make its apearance?

    Now that is a great idea! How many times can Yamato continue to reissue the same versions and not lose interest of collectors whom already purchased first, second, or third releases? I think that having other VF paint schemes would only help the collection of interested fans. Just take a look at the 1/48 custom pages to give Yamato an idea of what could be achieved.

  7. Bring on the Low-Vis!

    Yeah right. Bring back a limited release? I would be pissed since I own 10 of those babies.

    351151[/snapback]

    I know what you mean, even though I don't own 10 I can relate. IMO limited release means just that, once the company sells out that's it.

    Unless the Low-Vis that have been release has an issuance number then my wishful thinking shall continue. Yamato can always re-release the Low-Vis in a similar fashion to the 1/60 TRU VF-1A and the TV version release. I do agree many people would probably be ticked off if this did occur since many have paid a premium for the limited release version.

  8. Hey all,

    Just got a payment request for my preorder in the mail yesterday...

    http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00025 became available Fri Dec 2nd.

    I missed getting one of these the first time around, so I figure I couldn't have been the only one.  Get'em while they're hot!

    I have the Hikaru Super-J version, and aside from the fast pack attachment points are there differences between the versions such as light gray versus a darker gray?

  9. I am currently starting my transition of "thinning the herd" of Macross. I plan to sell most of my 1/60 and 1/72 Yamato and 1/55 Bandai valks. I only plan on keeping a few 1/48 valks in my collection. I figured I have had enough enjoyment of my current collection and begin parting with my collection to other Marcrossworlders who have not had the enjoyment yet. I never have been a "gotta catch 'em all" kind of collector, but I am satisfied with what I have collected to this point.

  10. Well actually, if you place the boxes up in the attic by themselves that would be just fine. Just remember there are small animals that do tend to navigate and use as shelter and breed in cardboard boxes.

    Womprats? I used ta' bullseye womprats back home...
