VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.COM Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Hi all, Been ages since I posted here. LIfe seems to be filled with other priorities though my Valkyrie collection has stayed intact. I found some pictures from back in the day while cleaning up my hard drive...It brought back alot of fond memories in Macross collecting with MW before I closed the 'shop' down. I still remember scrambling and packing late nights so the inventory received were repacked back out next business day to all the eager fans. My neighbors always wondered why a truck would drop off boxes and then the boxes would all vanish out of my garage within a day or two...LOL.. I thought I'd share it with some of the veterans here.... Kevin Edited March 20, 2013 by VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.COM
jenius Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 That's a lotta lowvis! Are you still cleaning out that garage?
Benson13 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Makes me wish I found out about Macross and Yamato's way sooner than I did.
Renato Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Wow! Compare that with the current situation with Bandai VF toys...
vt102 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Wow Kevin, Those were the days. I am glad I was apart of that!
ff95gj Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Hi Kevin! Did you stop buying last year? I wonder if that has something to do with Yamato's closure.
Mog Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Wow, I remember going in on that first wave for the big burly 1/48 GBP-1S. <sigh>: If only I'd started collecting Yamatos a few years earlier. Could have gotten on the ground floor with those Low-Viz.
Valkyrie23 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Amazing pics, Kevin. How did I not order one of those 1/48 low vis at the time?! I must have let sanity get in the way!
Scyla Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Wow! Compare that with the current situation with Bandai VF toys... Yea you're right I guess the number of boxes in the images Kevin shared are greater then the number of items HLJ receives from Bandai.
yman1437 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Bought a couple of times from Kevin, always a pleasure =) thank you! Prices for low viz went up pretty soon after it came out. And it was the holy grail..... Its almost like finding a vf25s ozma now it seems like.......hm...now you still see low viz every now and then
Smut Peddler Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I got all my vf's from Kevin until he shut down =/ Still miss the VE, Kevin did a great job.
Duymon Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Yeah, I miss the old days of Valk Exchange. Also miss Jerry's Vf1x.com as well :0
Ignacio Ocamica Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I got all my vf's from Kevin until he shut down =/ Still miss the VE, Kevin did a great job. Same here, I started my collection buying from VE!! Always a pleasure to deal with Kevin!
Valkyrie Magnus Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Yeah, I miss the old days of Valk Exchange. Also miss Jerry's Vf1x.com as well :0 I do too! Back then there was a lot of Macross sites to look at. Thanks for the pictures Kevin.
505thAirborne Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Low Vis. & Fast pack Heaven!! Thanks for posting these pictures Kevin, I remember ordering a handful of Valks from you back in the day, good times!
jvmacross Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Saving the pic....some of my stuff may be in those pics! Remember getting stuff from Twin Moons Anime too......still have shipping boxes with his logo!
Hoptimus Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Kevin was my main supplier in those days. He even got me a nice MPC Megatron cheaper than most of the other sellers. Good times.
skullmilitia Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Kevin was my main supplier in those days. He even got me a nice MPC Megatron cheaper than most of the other sellers. Good times. woah, somebody else from Tucson!
Rabidweezil Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I think I see my old set of strike parts in that pile!
connor99 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 S'all about the memories! Thanks for sharing, Kev!
Kicker773 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Hey Kicker! How about this He was selling them..but those images do bring back memories on how my room storage room looked like..... Plus I wasn't even included in those runs.. =( I was still a bum student back then and it took a year for MW to approve my membership...so no...my hoarding began in 07...so now sadly I wasn't a part of it. I know maybe Kensei and Godzilla were in those runs....
derex3592 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Hey----I 'm pretty sure I bought my 1st 1:48 Yamato Valk from him! ohhh....what a slippery slope that turned out to be!
Shaorin Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 yep, i remember buying a replacement right arm for my first ever 1/55 (TF JETFIRE) from Jerry's VF-1x.com back around 2000/2001ish, around the same timeframe i got my very first Yammie Valk, that gawdawful 1/72 VF-11B...
MacrossJunkie Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Great pics. It's always fun to see things behind the scenes. I recall I must have gotten at least a couple valks as well as the fx bootlegs for DYRL, Macross 7, and possibly FB2012.
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 My god, it's full of stars. Man, look at those Low Viz valks-thanks for the throwback, Kevin!
Arthurius Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 yea, good old days, until just before 2nd version of the 1/60th vf-1 i think, when i was trying to keep up with the new molds, and many great sellers like Valk-Exchange, and i think that was the booming point for me. Brings me back a few years for sure.
Uxi Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Nice. I wish I had got a couple more Low-Viz! Love that picture of the stack of them (and spotted it immediately, though had to do a double take to make sure).
