VFTF1 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Ok - that is really sweet And I don't mean "sweet" as in "suuuwwweeeeeeeet duuude!" but rather sweet as in kitty cats and lolly pops and all those by-gone warm gushy innocent like feelings sweet. I usually don't really go for these 'Chunky Munkys,' but as a lover of G1 Transformers - much prefer them to the "Alternators," I must say I'm very partial to this... I guess the thing is that insofar as Transformers have "advanced" technically but moved completely away from being TV accurate (aka Alternators/Binaltech are so totally not show accurate), therefore making the G1s more show accurate than the BTs/Alts ... that is - thankfully - not the case with Macross, where Yamato has actually used new technologies to make the figures perfect transformation and perfectly show/movie accurate... And I guess that's why Chunky Munkeys hold less of a warm place in my love heart - but still - given that we don't have any 1Ds like this one done by Yamato, I suppose seeing this thing makes me warm and fuzzy... It's kind of like my 1/60 VE-1 ... I would have probably sold it a long time ago (like I did my 1/72 YF21 and VF-11B) if Yamato did a 1/48 VE.... but since that's not gonna happen...it remains... Although - truth be told - I will probably hold onto it even if a Perfect Transformation 1/60 is in the works... Umm..hmm...yeah...sorrry about that long diversion... Nice 1D... but it's like one of those sapy nights at the bar, when the girl next to you looks really hot... until you notice she has swing bars on her legs... no wait - - oh - you know what I mean!

Solscud007 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 xstoys has a pretty nice custom VF-1D with custom box too. some guy from South America made it. It even has the takatoku texture on the box. but Rick the Hunter does good work. too bad he vanished off the face of the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vifam7 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 (edited) Dug it out from the closet. An ancient Taka. Purchased it 11 years ago in Japan at Mandarake. I forget how much I paid at the time. Probably somewhere around 10,000yen. The box and toy had seen better days but at the time I was desperate to have one. I think I did well at the time. It still had the gun and clip plus all the joints were (and still are) tight. Love the "click-click-click" sound it makes when playing with it!

Now not a good time to say how much I payed for mine, could have bought another at the same time for the same price. Great to see them though boxed is best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VenomMacbeth Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 how do you all afford these things!? I'd love to have some of the old Takatoku Valkyries/Destroids/SDF-1, but I could never have that much money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to have some of the old Takatoku Valkyries/Destroids/SDF-1, but I could never have that much money! A re-issue Bandai 1/55 shouldn't cost you too much money these days. You could get one without the Super parts for less than $100. The ones that come with the Super-parts will cost a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VenomMacbeth Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I'm in the process of getting a reissue cannon fodder from a member here. However, things like...I dunno...Takatoku Tomahawk, Monster, and the big SDF-1 with all the little aircraft things with it...would cost me a fortune, right?

jenius Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 A Takatoku Tomahawk wouldn't be as bad as the Takatoku Monster and you could always go the Robotech Matchbox versions if you didn't mind the different paintjobs. If I had to guess, I'd say you're right at about the $700 mark for the items you mentioned give or take $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VenomMacbeth Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 well, I wouldn't mind having the Robotech version, either, but it's still about $100 or more. And I don't even know how much just the SDF-1 would cost, especially if springs still work and it comes with the aircraft things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 $500 for the SDF-1 seems to be about the going rate but with vintage toys there's so much room for fluctuation. If it's in a great box and looks like it's never been touched it could hit the atmopshere.... or for some reason no one could want it at that moment and you could find it for a steal.

jenius Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 It's been a long time since I've seen a minty SDF-1 with planes still on sprue, decals not applied, and 100% complete Taka SDF-1 on ebay. The Wave 1/5000 may have reduced it's market value though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VenomMacbeth Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 oh, man...I don't really care if the planes are still on sprues and stickers are still applied. Hell, if I could get it for cheap enough, I'd take it with the two valkyries, the lancer, and like 3 or 4 missiles. JESUS CHRISTOPHER $500!?
