promethuem5 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Wow. I'm really glad I missed all this.... I was pissed when my MPC and 1/60s arrived.... I can only imagine how I woulda felt with a Chunky Monkey... it's all 1/48s and models for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlenhoff Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I pretty much waited 20 years to get a macross toy. I remember I got my fisrt Macross on 1985 (a broken Jetfire) and 1986 an Imai 1/72 variable VF-1S. Hell yeah, in 2000 I got my very first YF-19 from Yamato, and know I have everything Yamato, except for the 1/48 Yamato Max VF-1A, and the max Q-Rau(blue) It was bad, it was sooo bad that I started buying toys like Eva's and TF's. Just to satisfufy my cravings that was. Thank God I Have been able to get all these creations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaine23 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 For me - an unabashed 1/55 lover - the golden age was the period when Bandai began reissuing their VF-1's. The Yamato Mac Plus valks had gotten back interested in Macross, Joon's, Jetfires... but even though I bought a few, I just didn't like the removable leg on the Yamato 1/60 valks. Still don't. I remember I was hoping (praying) even though skepticism was high - that the 1/55 from Toynami would be decent or made of 1/3 die cast. It wasn't. But the 1/55 reissues more than made up for it. As a kid in rural southern US, getting a Jetfire (the only 1/55 we could get in the 80's) that actually had printed stickers, removable cockpits and just so perfect and well-made... it was a dream come true for me. Then the 1/48 came and the 1/55 reissues died... I still wish they'd made a SuperO and an Elint. Even if they'd charged twice as much.

Seriously... akabob is a great guy and he helped me out a lot. now I just want to see bandai re-issue the o and seeker... I would be so happy. How much do you want to bet that the week I spend 20k having a injection mold made is the same week they decide to re-issue them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
