How many of you havea Macross credit card? I talked my girlfriend into getting one. She got the Visa with Roy's VF-1S..I tried to convince her to get the JCB one with Hikaru's VF-1J as well....she told me to fart off.

Dude, a Club-M Normal Valkyrie for Y3,000 is a steal! I paid around $50 for mine not too long ago, and I thought I got a good deal. It's probably the rarest of the Club-M VF-1 series.

Holy Crap, I can't believe you didn't snag that Yellow Sub kit!.

I am not a modeler by any stretch of the imagination, but even I know that a Yellow Sub kit for a measly 27 bucks is a great deal.

Go back, and get it!

There is a shop here, Hong Kong with that Club-M VF-1 kit and they are asking like US$110 for it and the box has wear!

Most Club-M kits are on the rise, price wise...being some kind of collectors item. I guess building a Hase kit is easier and cheaper!

Ahh...man...anyboby living near that area? :rolleyes:

Any better pics of the Orguss kits below the Macross kits? I'm curious to see if the rare Logwood Gerwalk was ever made as a kit...

Thanks for sharing the pics!

Also found this....dunno if it was a good deal or not...didn't buy it either.

The original list price is 13800 yen.

So for $30, that's quite the steal! I got mine in Hong Kong over 5 years ago for around $75.

What, no one remembers my 3,000yen Club-M YF-19? A couple years back it was not uncommon to see Club-M kits going for a fraction of their original price. Specificaly the 1/72 scale VF-1, YF-19 and YF-21. This was obviously due to the same scale Hasegawa kits being released. The other kits like the 1/72 VF-17 stayed at their origninal price or higher.

Its hard to make out the prices for the various plastic kits, but they look to be in the 2000-3000yen price range which is a bit excessive. If you check mandarake frequently you can find some of them for under 1000yen.

I far as I know there was a logwood kit from Arii. I missed some Diffand Dals/Trigon kits on ebay . :angry:

Those good old Orguss kits were fun to build

Nice kits, TSP! Sorry for derailling the thread, its just that I have never seen a Logwood or Ishkick commander in model kit form, despite years of looking. I do recall seeing an Arii 1/48 scale Nikick Standard version that was transformable, and its series code was in the 30's.

I wish for an Orgussworld forum....
