Ichijoey Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Question here, I *think* I remember an old Macross toy from my childhood. It was a !HUGE! SDF1 that they had hanging from the cieling at a comic shop in the mid 80's. I have tried to find out more info on the web but have come up dry. I don't know if it was a real toy or something that the shop built, I just remember that it was bigger than I was! Does anyone know about anything like this or was it a custom job? Or did it just seem huge because I was only 10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I believe there was a huge, promotional cardboard Macross. I think someone posted pictures of it here long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewilen Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 There was a large 3' cardboard (nontransforming) Macross. It wasn't a promotional item. It comes up on eBay from time to time, and in threads here as well. A picture of it can be found at the Valkyrie Factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ido Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 One Dyrl Macross in attack mode like that would be spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechamaniac Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 There's one on eBay right now if you have the cash.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWA:IT Holy crap, that thing went for $330.00? If you dig cardboard that much, you could just make one yourself out of some old boxes. It's not like it's very accurate. Fools and their money man...

Skull00 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I got a kick out of the transcript off the back of the box. Apparantly the SDF-1 has a full complement of Alpha and Beta fighters!! Cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
