mriboy Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) Hi, I'm Mike and am new to the board and officially addicted. I have spent about a grand this last two weeks in valk's and purchased a 1985 mib hover tank and 1985 mib veritech fighter. On the hover tank the box is in real bad shape, so thinking of just taking the tank out and putting on display. I have baught from the masterpiece collection 1/55 scale Ben Dixion, Sue Graham, Lancer, Scott Bernard, Roy Fokker and the 1/100 second pack from toynami. I also have a invid scout and shock tropper. I then found this site, so now I ordered a yamato 1/48 Roy Fokker with to DYRL strike pack and looking at the 1/48 VF-19 and 1/60 SV-51r then After those two I need to take a break lol. I am trying to get my display looking good so they look like they are in outerspace fighting then I will have to figure out how to post picks. Well just wanted to say hi and been reading alot on the board and thanks for some great ideas. Mike Edited December 21, 2007 by mriboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Welcome Mike... Man if you like those Masterpieces, come over to the dark side. Stop wasting your money and get some Yamatos. It's the crack to your itty bitty coke addiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFTF1 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Sell your "masterpieces" and go for Yamato. If you don't believe me - I can post a picture by picture comparison of a 1/48 Stealth VF-1J and the "Masterpiece" VF-1S... Masterpiece is a WASTE of money. 1/100 also is a waste of money. 60 bucks for three little crudy 1/100 guys or 100 USD for a very bad representation of a VF-1S are complete wastes of money. Yamatos are NOT expensive - when you actually have on in hand and realize what you're getting - the price is extremely reasonable unlike the cheap knock off that is MP Robotech.

sqidd Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Sell your "masterpieces" and go for Yamato. This is exactly what I did after I saw my first Yamato. I would never even consider owning a MP again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome VFTF1 haha, yeah, Yamato is on their third line of VF-1s and Toynami can't even keep their 1/100 line going. By the time they get the fast packs out Yamato will be doing the 1/48s all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mriboy Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 (edited) Just purchased both 1/48 VF-19 with booster pack and 1/60 SV-51 Nora. And a regult and officer pod 1/72 resin models i will have to paint and put together. That should hold me for awhile. By the way how do you size pics so you can post?
