Hi there.

I am new here but I guess this would be one of the few places to try and find what I am looking for.

I just spent way to much money on a Robotech factory 1/100 kit, as I have always wanted one since I was a kid....now I have been looking for a few Extra 1/00 mechs to go with it.

I am aware of the original IMAI/ARII 1/100 kits, and would be interested in any of these if anyone offers up prices etc...

But I WANT a 15th anniversary re-issue Destroid Spartan 1/100 kit, 15th anniverasry Destroid Defender 1/100 kit

Any help with this would be appreciated...anyone. I have excellent ebay feedback, and am located in the U.S., for a sale it would be nice if you had similar also.

Thanks All. Please let me know either way, if there is a place these kits can still be bought.

Cool.

Any idea what ones you have that you would be willing to sell off the top of your head? lol

Really, the two that I am most interested in are the spartan and the defender 1/100 kits. Possibly any pods as long as they are re-issues as I dont have the dough for originals.

Got sniped on the last two imai original pod glaug 1/100's on ebay a few days ago. I may just use a buy it now and purchase a bandai re-issue thats on there right now, but I will wait first to see what you are willing to do.

Thanks for the reply post, and let me know.

Pretty much this is all new to me, as I just "re-discovered" my interest in Battlemech type kits. Been doing alot of research the last few weeks, and as stated above, I am sure that those are the kits I am looking to "build" with the factory. Lots more that I would like to buy/collect in the future, but right now I am focused on this for my winter project! :)

I've got at least one of each of the two kits you mentioned. I also have all of the Regults and the Glaug. I've got several of the valk kits in various modes etc. I actually have a meeting tonight too, so it may be yet another day before I can dig them out. Basement storage area is just jam packed right now and hard to get at. <_<

Found the kits last night, but didn't have time for pics or anything. I do have a Spartan and Defender. Some are sealed and some have the plastic bags for the sprues opened etc. All should be complete.

I'll make a list of what I have with details about condition, and I'll try to get an idea of prices. You can let me know what you're interested in and then I can get you some pics. :)

Cool.

I am interested IN: all 1/100 kits, preferably re-issues or bandai, as for me it is cost prohibitive to build and not "collect" original IMAI/ARII. Defender, Spartan, Pod Glaug, Phalanx, and Tomahawk.

Once again, Let me know what you come up with, and thanks for Digging them out..:)

Last night, I won a 1/100 IMAI VF-1D from the following eBay seller for 99 cents. I hope this info helps. He replied fast.

99 cents for the toy, but the seller hosed you on the shipping- if it is indeed $30 domestic. That looks like the old arii 1/100 kit with the big meaty sausage-finger hands. For 1/100 scale valks, IMO the Bandai variable kits trounce those Arii ones, and you could probably find one for $30 or less shipped. Still, if you are looking for something in a toy that you can throw in a diorama, the 1/100 Toycrummie valks that go for around $15-$20 might be a quick fix, and they are variable. Unless someone made a more detailed resin kit, there just aren't a lot of good valk 1/100 options that come to mind.

I myself am not looking for a toy, or preassembled whatever...

In my opinion lots of them look very unrealistic, unweathered, cheap etc... I'm sure they could be repainted, but what would be the fun in that??

I started this thread only to locate 1/100 MODEL KITS, to BUILD into a diorama. The Bandai kits I think will work just fine as extra detail, buildup, modifications can be done to achieve a more realistic look.

And by the way, to comment on that one post/ $30 shipping and handling is ridiculous. Ebay even has some rules set up for uneven shipping and handling charges like that. Lots of times it goes unchecked, but 30 bucks on .99 cents is weak.

I see lots of Robotech/Macross transformer-like toys go for some good money on ebay, but they really don't do it for me. I guess I am more into collecting kits, that I SOMEDAY will get to building.. :rolleyes: Maybe I just like the thought of a Big Ol' Pile of OOP kits... I dont know...lol

Well, I located the kits and I dug them out of storage and have them sitting in a box ready for me to check them all out and get a list of them for you. I will get to that as soon as I can, but Christmas stuff has kept me busy all week. :wacko:

I just wanted to post a reply about the status so that you know I haven't forgotten about you. ;)

Cool.. Thank You

Pretty much as the "BIG NEWS" about the bandai re-issues, I attacked the pre-order form on the 1/100 kits, But I am really still interested in a 15th anniversary Spartan, and Defender if you have those.

No need to compile a big long list of valks or whatever...lookin for the DESTROIDS !!! :lol:

OK, finally checked out the kits I have. Here are some I think you might be interested in.

I have one Destroid Spartan and one Defender. The Defender is in the older (maybe original?) box. Both boxes are in very nice condition.

Here are the two Missle Regults. Inner bags are sealed, the boxes on these are near perfect, but they each have a small sticker applied in the top right corner. The other pic shows a VF-1A Battroid and a Super Gerwalk kit. The Gerwalk kits are pretty good except for the hands.

Here are some pics of a 1/100 Strike Battroid Vf-1S by Bandai. This sculpt is completely different from the other (crappy) 1/100 Battroids and it is much, much better. Hopefully you can tell by the pic of the instructions that this builds into a much better model. The decals are 99% better too, with nice detailed skull and crossbones instead of the cartoony blobs that come with the other 1/100 kits.

As for prices, I think I have to ask for this:

The Spartan and Defender $12.00 each. If you buy some of the other kits, I'll go down to $10.00 each for these two. (I know I paid between $10-$15 for each of these)

$20.00 each for the Regults.

$10.00 for the pair of Battroid and Gerwalk kits.

And $12.00 for the Strike VF-1S.

Plus actual shipping once I get an idea of what all you would want. Shipping shouldn't be too much though.

If anyone sees these prices and thinks I am way off, feel free to let me know that I am mistaken. I think I'm pretty close to the normal going prices for these on Feebay and other places. I think the Regults are actually pretty cheap considering their rarity too.

So, just let me know if you're interested and we can go from there.

Bill

P.S. - I also have a bunch more of these 1/100 kits available if anyone's interested. I would be asking $10.00 each for the rest of the kits I have. I know the reissues are cheaper, but for less than $10 I might as well keep them and let my son have fun building and playing with them. Just PM me if you have something specific you are looking for.

Oh yeah! Merry Christmas Everybody!!!! :D:lol:
