drkstar00 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 so are they worth getting? I'm not actually keen on them myself, but more as an investment syle purchase. I have no idea of their "collectable" worth so i've never bothered to look twice until now. I have checked to make sure that they are not copies but original HG products too. I certainly like the one I have; but I pretty much snatch up everything I can get anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqidd Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Sqidd, you gotta do something with the poor Roy VF-0S (non ghost) on the bottom shelf! He needs a kick butt pose! Yeah, except for the fact that I got one of the loose ones. I tried to do some sort of pose this morning and I can't even get the arms to do anything short of hang, lol. Nothing a tube of Super Glue can't fix! He's a brick now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D_Unit Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Thanks everybody. I think everyone who's ever posted in this thread have somethings special to offer this forum whether it's a big or small collection. Here's the last one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutsAndCasca Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 D-unit; did you just collect toys your whole life and keep them in great condition - or when ebay came out did you immediately begin amassing all the good stuff? Or did you win the lottery and buy everything you wanted - ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 You might want to take the pic out of your signature sircastico, as we are not allowed to have images in our sigs on this forum.

D_Unit Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Again, thanks. I started collecting toys way back when I was a kid. My first toy was a Diaclone Sideswipe. Didn't have allowance so I collected bottles and did chores for the store owner... it took a while. When I was old enough, spent most of my McD's paychecks on G1's (I absolutely loved Macross/Robotech but they were way out of my price range back then). Stopped for a while and almost lost/gave away everything. Bought Black Arachnia as a joke during the mid-90's... collected a few BW's for fun... not too serious. It was actually Yamato's 3 Macross+ toys that got me back to full throttle. I bought all 3 of them from a store I just discovered (I remembered thinking that I spend more on 3 toys that day then I did in the past 3 years). I was so amazed/mesmerized at/by the figures. One you blow a big chunk of cash for the first time... there seems to be no stopping afterwards. I try to save on hair cuts, eating out, clothes (other little stuff), for the toys I want. Funny, the toys don't do as much for me now (very recently) as it did when I was a kid, but I get a lot of happiness when my friends'/relatives' kids come over to check the toys out (sometimes I get multiples at toys sales so the kids get to leave with a toy when they visit). I guess we all have to grow up sometimes and I'm feeling the pressure to change my priorities now. I hope I'll still be able to continue collecting these great pieces of craftsmanship in the future.

Sorry for such a long post. Don't be sorry for a long post. It's a really nice read. Thanks for the sharing. I understand what you mean about priorities. Unfortunatlly for me, my priorities are needing me to weed out my collection. But hey, we gotta do what we gotta do.

GutsAndCasca Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Thanks for answering my question, D! Cool story! My toy collection is about a good 1/200th of yours, and I started collecting about 2 years ago. (Just Macross and Berserk) I wish I'd kept all my old stuff from when I was a kid. Man.

misterryno Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 jeremy007 & ruskiiVFaussie Thanks ALOT guys....I really like the CF as a super too...I do like how you have your Hikaru without the packs and just the leg and arm armor.

So I have taken mine off as well and plan to do some posing this evening. Sweet man, yeah i am glad your digging the half FP look for the VF-1. Eventually i will get bored and want to Super or Strike one of them up again (probably Hikky 1S again) but overall this IS my most fav VF-1 battle mode. That and Half Gerwalk mode. (arms are not deployed) heh heh, there's that chunky monkey looking all sweet side on again, i maybe still grab one. A CF would be nice. I am going to do a heap of pics tonight, i have been promising alot of pics and now that i have my new camera i can.

Jeremy007 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) every time i display something in gerwalk mode, i never transform the arms. it just looks too goofy. Half Gerwalk is the way to go. Edited October 31, 2007 by Jeremy007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
