Pathetic right?

Hi Gang,

Yeah, It's been awhile, but the bug has never left me.... I was looking for a "General Discussion", "Newbie Intro" etc., type section to put this thread, but since I was always about the toys, I figured here would be good. Mods, help me out here if that's not the case...

First off, I wanted to say "Hi" to some old friends; Shawn, Graham, hope you guys are doing well, I can't believe MW has gotten this huge! Congrats, it looks great!

Kevin Lam, of The Valkyrie Exchange; Hi Kevin!!! Hope all is well, and assuming the babies in your avitar are yours, CONGRATS! They're beautiful!

Jerry, of The Valkyrie Museum; Hi Jerry! As above, hope all is well..Umm, Where's my fav fan pics site on the 'Net :)?!?!

If you guys don't remember me, that's ok.. Hi Anyways :)!

To All;

My name is Jim Wichert, and I used to have quite a substantial collection of Veritechs back in the day B)) . I was very proud to have pics of my stuff right up there next to all the heavy hitters in our hobby, on The Valkyrie Museum... With a heavy heart, they all went to new owners as "life" was changing for me.

I was one of the first guys to work on a mold for the 1/55th scale VF-1D head..LOL!! 'member when that was a big deal?

With that said, I found a collectors' toy store near me by chance, and after learning they had no Macross pieces, I snapped up a Master Series Voltron! I couldn't help myself! haha..

Anyway, When I got home, pulled up eBay, and my jaw about hit the floor :blink: ! To give you some perspective, I had maybe 12-15 VF-randoms total, and a $14k rider on my homeowners' insurance, in case the place burned down. Yeah, big money. All the new stuff flush the market out or what?

..$1,200 for Elint/Super O, $1,500 for Taka Super, and I think a $1,000 for my Strike, he was P-E-R-F-E-C-T. (haha.. 'member Kevin? you always wanted my Strike Valkyrie!)

So, to FINALLY get OT, I got the itch back and need some help;

Does anybody know, where there might be an organized list of pieces released, since around... the Bandai YF-19, YF-21, and the VF-11?

Thanx everyone for your patience, and thank you, Shawn and Graham, for not booting me out of the system :)

I'M BACK BABY!

I don't know about any lists but you can try these links

Here's what Overdrive has available:

HLJ

http://www.hlj.com Just search macross.

This should give you some idea where to start i hope

FYI look into the Yamato Destroids and the Yamato VF-1s v.2 (post the Vf-1S Roy, avoid that one for shoulder problems right now). They are awesome if not as durable as the Bandai chunkies.

That's going to be a little hard since Bandai never released the YF-19, 21 or 11. ;)

Off the top:

Yamato 1/72 Mac Plus toys

19

21

11b

w/FP:

21

11b

Yamato 1/60 v1

Grahams probably got the entire list of these on the main MW toy section.

Toynami 1/55:

Rick, Max, Miria, Ben, Focker and their FP's.

Bandai 1/55 re-release

Everything except for the SuperOstrich, Elint and GBP. (I think)

Yamato 1/48.

Ask Godzilla or kensei. I think those two were having an army building contest of this scale and they got multiple of each variant.

Wave SDF-1 1/5000

Wave DYRL SDF-1 1/5000 color accurate or whatever reason they gave for re-releasing it

Revoltech:

I didn't really pay attention to these SDFM Battroids were produced as well as the Battle pods.

Yamato GNU:

MacPlus valks

Yamato Macross Zero 1/60

Roy

Shin

Nora

DD Ivanov

CF

Yamato Macross Plus 1/60

19FP

21FP

11B FP(coming soon)

Yamato 1/60 v2

Roy 1S

Hikaru 1J, 1A, 1S, 1D(hey first valkyrie he flew)

Coming soon Max TV 1A, DYRL 1A, 1S

Kakizaki TV 1A, DYRL 1A

Super O

Bandai Macross Frontier 1/55 DX:

Alto VF-25F

Ozma VF-25S

Mikhail and Luca announced.

Bandai Macross Quarter DX

Bandai 1/100 Macross figures

Yamato 1/2000 SDF DYRL
