Angel's Fury Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I guess you're just saving up for somethin' else or you're out of cash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91WhiskeyM6 Posted September 20, 2003 Author Share Posted September 20, 2003 (edited) I lost $200 to my city's police DPT last month for parking in various "NO PARKING" zones( college campus). $200 would have netted me atleast a 1/48 and a 1/60. but you're right... some lucky toy company out there is going to get half my paycheck soon. It sucks not buying any Valks/TF's !!! Edited September 20, 2003 by 91WhiskeyM6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF?? What did you do - block the fire lane in front of a burning preshool??? In Chicago, tickets start at $50. Even for not having your parking permit, it's $50. Fortunately at UD, if your car isn't registered, you just toss the tickets (it's only UDPD so you just toss them.) If it is, you either don't park on campus or pay them up (at the end of the semester they get added to your bill). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicronianDevil Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 This year I am in a buying slump. Consider last year. From June 2002 to the end of 2002 (six month span) I purchased: Bandai: Roy 1S, Hikaru 1J, CF 1A, Super Valk with FP. Yamato: Max DYRL 1/60, CF 1/60, Strike Valk, Hikaru 1A 1/48, Hikaru Super 1J. This year so far: (Nine months into the year.) Yamato: Max Super, Millia Super, Hikaru 1A, Kakizaki 1/60 custom. Bandai: Max 1J, Millia 1J. Well not much of a slump but still a slump. I mean...its been almost a year since I purchased my 1/48 and have not purchased another!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryHolmes Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 You guys want to talk about a slump, try this one of for size A year and a half ago, I bought a 1/55th CF-1A from Hobbylink. A little over a month ago I bought two of the Alpha Superposables. Right now, all three toys are occupying the top shelf of my closet, still in their boxes. However, I sense the end of my vacation from toys coming. A 1/48th, an MPC Prime, an MPC Alpha or three... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Nut Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Lets see. In the past 3 months I got the VF-11B FP and YF-21 FP. I'm now considering getting either a 1/60 VF-1D or a 1/48 VF-1A Low Vis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myk Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I hear ya. About 5 months ago I also stopped buying Valkyries, anime, toys, and even visiting the 'Forums. Now, as I try to make my way back to Macross, the Low Visibility Valkyrie has become the Low Availability Valkyrie, the 'Forums are anew and the Terminator is running for governor.... I don't remember giving the world permission to move on without me...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Nut Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 My 1/48 VF-1A Low Vis is on its way After this arrives im holding on for the YF-19 FP as I can't afford to buy anymore unless I want my parents to kill me I know one thing, I won't be telling them the price, which was £107 ($177) including delivery oO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sucks was that I was soooo freaking close to catching up with all the Valks, McFarlane(California sports stars anyway), and Transformer reissues out there..and then BLAM! Just got tired of collecting or was too busy with my new job and school. I'm like 10-15 figures/robots behind...crap!

I know I could've gotten it for cheaper on the 'Bay, but when it comes to Valkyries the 'Bay makes me nervous. Where did you get your 'Low Vis. from?

kanata67 Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 buying slump... I'm always in a buying slump... thats why people make fun of me for being so stingy with money. Lord knows I won't be getting a 1/48 till I find one for less than $100 shipped, as if thats going to happen anytime soon. I won a whopping $41.23 worth of stuff off of ebay in the past month. Of that record low total for myself... only $6 of it was for me and the rest is stuff I bought on behalf of gian who finds it easier to get multiple stuff shipped to me and have me ship out one big box. On the other hand... I am involved in a rather large deal that may just benifit everyone here in some way or another when it's all said and done . Till it happens... "slump" does apply.

They are the only place in England I've found that sells Yammies and I've got my fingers crossed they'll be putting the YF-19 FP up for pre-order when the time comes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
