Banpresto Toys!

If anybody has some of these they'd like to unload, I'd be interested in speaking with you. My four year old had one I gave him that he unfortunately broke, and the only way to repair it is to negate the chance of it ever transforming into anything other than the single mode I choose to glue it back into. Hence, I'd like to find more of these things. Please PM me if you can help out.

(I realize getting my son macross toys that are easily breakable probably isn't the safest thing to do, but I'm completely set on him growing up cooler and more imaginative than other little kids and macross WILL help accomplish this.)

Thank you if you can help!

You should get him a re-issued chunky monkey from bandai. Very difficult to break

Are you kidding? As a child I broke my Jetfire two days after geting it for Christmas. Broke the plastic part on the shoulder that connects to the metal. That's super easy to break. Also many many many 1/55 Valkyries have the backpack snapped off. And the head lasers.

Uh, Ginrai, you think the Banpresto is stronger than the chunky? There is no transforming valk toy as strong as the chunky. Roy's Blues advice was clearly appropriate. As to your ability to break sturdy toys... well I imagine when you play war you strive for a level of realism most of us didn't attempt.

To play that hard with your toys man, you're nuts! I don't know about you, but I can't just blow money on new ones when one gets battle damage. Hell, I get nervous flying my 1/60 Roy aroung the living room.

My friends kid got a hold of my 1/55 reissue Roy and knocked it off my shelf. He then "tried" to transform it forcefully. Even droppd it at least twice.

The truth is, my 1/55 shows no damage at all. That baby is solid!

As for the Branpresto's, dude I wish I knew you were looking for them back in February. I was at WonderCon in San Francisco and one dealer was trying to get rid of his stock selling them off at $5 a piece.

I bought 4 Supers/Strikes and gave it to a friend for his birthday.

If this request was only 2 months sooner, I would have known to pick up a few for your kid.

Good luck in your quest to find some, if not then invest in a Chunky Monkey.

That way you won't have to keep buying more toys every time one breaks. And yes the Banprestos do break easily in a childs hands.

1/55 is your safe bet.

It's not as sturdy as a chunky but with Toynami's Ben MPC going for $30 shipped from most eBay retailers that's not a bad deal either!

Crud... I wish I knew about that Banprestos sell. I've always debated picking up the rest of the TV banprestos but was just hoping for the day I saw them ridiculously cheap.. that woulda been it!
