Agent-GHQ Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) This may have already been addressed, but i'll do it anyways just so I know I did it. I would like to know what are your plans with your Macross collection when you reach elderly age of like 50s, 60s, or 70s and beyond? And was it all worth paying for knowing that we can't take them with us when we die? Love to hear from you so please give it some thought.

Sdf-1 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Maybe somebody could build a coffin from the 1/48s... Yes I can see it, in the future: "for sale: Toy Valkyrie coffins for the true collectors, rest in peace with your loved ones" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 They'll probably build a SDF-1 themed coffin for you then. You can be buried in zentraedi costume as if you were the last remaning zent on the ass-1 when it crashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 pass them on to my kids if I have them, and if they are already old too, my grandkids(if I have those as well). Gotta let the newer generations experience macross!! (wouldn't it kick ass if some one said "yea my grandpa loved them bandais and yamatos....man I can't believe they made these 50+ years ago!). And imagine what valk toys could be made 50 years from now with all that technology advancement., whoa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante74 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I'd never give those toys to my grandkids, much to valuable. I wonder if a Low Vis will still bring in some money in 50 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensei Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I would allow my kids to sell them off if they didn't want them. BUt that's about it. I would like to make sure that they make records though. Shite, come to think of it, my younger generation would be rich if they sold my collection! Screw trust funds, invest in Macross! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightbat Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Build a masoleum with yamato's boxes the walls covered with my valks and guitars on top of my casket my bike will be placed I'll be the world's happiest dead guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT junkie Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I'll be cremated, and have my ashes put in the cockpits of all my 1/48 Yammies. Then, have the family put those on the mantle as my urn. I'll finally get to sit in a Valk! Well, part of me anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzyfcuk Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 nah, she's faking it. cos she wants to trash it when you're gone for revenge at you spending more time with 1/48s than her..lolz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortress_Maximus Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Probably will do either one of two things, give them to my kids if I ever have any OR sell them for other necessities, like medicine or an operation. All the 1/48s, JMs and 1/55s in the world won't mean squat if I am bedridden or need assisted living! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuffparties Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 does anybody have a pic of a really old toy like a hundred plus years old that was unplayed with? i want to get an idea how toys age naturally even when taken care of. nice topic by the way i have thought about this too.

connor99 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 The 1/48's that I do own will be going to my grandkids, since my lil' boy's already got a set waiting for 'im . I'll probably keep one or two for nostalgic reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent-GHQ Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 (edited) Your welcome bro. And I must say you have an interesting question too. I would imagine an old toy about a hundred years old would probably be an american doll or something. Not sure if it is packaged up though?? does anybody have a pic of a really old toy like a hundred plus years old that was unplayed with? i want to get an idea how toys age naturally even when taken care of. nice topic by the way i have thought about this too. 375429[/snapback] Edited March 2, 2006 by Agent-GHQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g3173 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 My wife and I just had our 3rd child about 13 weeks ago and I was fortunate enough to have a little boy.

Jasonc Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Here's an interesting one. I'll be cremated, and the ashes will be put on and in a custom 1/48. New paint scheme, then sealed in a lusterless flat sealer. Then I guess you could say I came back as a 1/48 scale Valkyrie. Or the idea of the ashes in the cockpit. It'd be nice to fly.

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I think I'd do something boring like sell them on ebay to buy a higher quality version of vf1. Bandai will have made a perfect grade kit with even more details that cost a fortune. These will be kept for another 70 years until macross is completely dead, and the value of the item goes up like comic books from the 50s that nobody in the world has any left of anymore. (ie collectors will just want it based on age alone) By this time robotech masterpiece VF1 will have crumbled into dust as toynami had planned and won't retain any value because they are so fragile. (designed to self destruct after a few years even inside the box ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
