jenius Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) So a while back (I'm sure some of you remember the auction), I won this vending machine thing with a Takatoku VF-1J and mini SDF-1. It's neat looking, the box is banged up, but the item inside has never been used. I was really bidding on the other two items though and am not sure what to do with this. Is it rare? Is it worth holding on to? I certainly don't think it's been re-issued... Edit, more pics Edited August 16, 2005 by jenius
BoBe-Patt Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 ahhh, the good ol macross vending machine. Pretty cool. All it is a mini vending machine for candy. Nothing more, nothing less. I just wouldn't eat the candy in there if I were you.

xMaDxPeNgUiNx Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 I didn't know they even made that... Cool!
jenius Posted August 16, 2005 Author Posted August 16, 2005 Actually, I looked, it's not candy, it vends out little Destroids in a bubble container. So don't worry, you don't have to worry about me trying to eat them! The destroids look pretty crammed in those tiny bubbles though so I'm guessing they'd be pretty distorted if you pulled them out now. Is this an early 80s item?
Totoro242 Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 (edited) It comes with Macross eraser toys. It comes with a couple large ones and a bunch of small ones You can chew on 'em like gum I guess... It was made by Takatoku in 1982/83 Edited August 17, 2005 by Totoro242
jenius Posted August 17, 2005 Author Posted August 17, 2005 Sweetnessss... I was hoping it was an old Taka item. Thanks Totoro, you definitely know your Macross (amongst other shows) merchandise!
Hiriyu Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 Macross Vending Machine on MW It's not just a message board
Totoro242 Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 I've seen them anywhere from $ 40 to $75 on eBay
jenius Posted August 18, 2005 Author Posted August 18, 2005 (edited) Okay, so I checked out the link to this site's toy section and I guess each vending machine came with a random set of three larger toys. Sadly I don't have a Glaug or Regult in mine Mine came with a VF-1J and two destroids (I'm not a destroid fan so I don't know their names). Edited August 18, 2005 by jenius
Totoro242 Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 Mine came with a Destroid Spartan, a Battroid VF1J, and a Regult
