Still got 4.5 hrs or so in my current time zone.

IBTL

to stick some Macross Toy content into this message:

I plan on getting my 1/60 VF-1J Super Hikaru this year, and maybe a loose 1/60 VF-1A Hikaru since I have some strike parts and spare 1S cockpit/head/wing. I plan on taking the super parts and pilot from the 1J and sticking it on my 1S, then turning a 1A into a 1S with the 1S strike parts from Focker's set.

I'm debating getting the Max 1S and maybe a Max 1A TV if Yamato releases it.

I'm definately getting the 1D though.

My New Year's resolution: buy more toys.

Yeah that's the way to go. HAPPY NEW YEAR my fellow forumers. I started my valk collection 3 months ago and I got 4 valks now, SV-51 Nora, YF-19, YF-21 and the VF-1J SnS. When I told mom they cost around $200 each, she was speechless. Anyway, the VF-0S is coming in January right?

Me: Ma, Im gonna buy a new macross toy next month, costs around the same price as the others.

Mom: Why dont you just buy me a new LCD TV?

Me: ......

It got me thinking, with that amount I could have bought some other great things. But a fanboy is a fanboy. I cant resist the call to arms of buying new Toys, but Ma had a point. So my new year's resolution is to just buy toys that I absolutely WANT and not to be some sort of completionist buying just for the sake of having 1 of each valk.

post some pics of your hauls!

Happy New Year too MW.

Due to budget constraint & first time in hong kong (not familiar with the places), I only bought the below items:

- DX Chogokin VF-25S (Ozma)

- DX Chogokin VF-25F (Alto)

- YF-19 (25th Anniversary)

- Saint Seiya God Pegasus Myth Cloth

- Date Masamune Miniature Armour Set

Cheers!!

Happy New Year's from the Eastern Pacific time zone!! Yeah, so I'm practically five hours (and ONE SECOND :rolleyes:) late. Cut me some slack! :p

It's gonna be hard for 2009 to top all the great things that happened to me in 2008, both on the toy and personal fronts:

* More cool GI Joe figures were released;

* I got more opportunities to refine my toy painting and customizing skills;

* I made a custom GI Joe Motor Viper;

* The YF-21 was released and came complete with FP's and a nice clear stand;

* I was finally able to make my idea for a custom YF-21 become a reality;

* The long-awaited Beta was released right before year-end (allowing me to finally retire my Beta avatar and bring back the Mog avatar).

And more important than all of that, I lucked out in the best way possible: I married a beautiful woman who loves me and is cool with my somewhat crazy toy collections.

I'm sure 2009 will have its share of joys too: another Blue Beta to be purchased, some Airborne figures to be finally found, one or a few more customized action figures to be made, and maybe some KOTOR figures to be finally released (if Hasbro was smart <_< ).

So, I'm looking forward to what awaits in 2009. But I will always look back at 2008 with a lot of thanks and fond memories.

Wishing all fellow members a Happy New Year!

May the new year brings us more new toys & surprises fm Yamato, Bandai, Takara etc. And may the high Yen rate drop this year for our benefit ;):D

Surprisely on New Year day today, I received a knock on my door fm a postman who delivered my VF-0A Shin with QF-2200-B Ghost booster, ordered fm Ebay. What a good way to kick off my new year. And just 2 days ago, bought myself a SV-51R Nora fm a local shop year end sale :lol:

happy new years everyone! My resolution, less toys for me, more for the kid. :p

"C'mon Honey. Our child needs an in-scale, fully articulated, panel-lined, and weathered 1/60 destroid.......Oh! The extra one? Well, our child needs to learn to share and play with others. And I'm willing to make that sacrifice and spend time teaching our child that lesson!"

:D

The shop hving year end clearance is ToysnToys at China Square Central. But sadly the Nora I bought is not a sale item as its under someone consignment :(. Thought I saw the only Macross items on sale is 25th anniversary VF-1S & YF-19. Not sure if its sold?
