VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.COM Posted March 20, 2013 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benson13 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Makes me wish I found out about Macross and Yamato's way sooner than I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Wow! Compare that with the current situation with Bandai VF toys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vt102 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Wow Kevin, Those were the days. I am glad I was apart of that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ff95gj Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Hi Kevin! Did you stop buying last year? I wonder if that has something to do with Yamato's closure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted March 20, 2013 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyla Posted March 20, 2013 Share 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.

Kicker773 Posted March 21, 2013 Share 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted March 21, 2013 Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaorin Posted March 21, 2013 Share 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 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthurius Posted April 1, 2013 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uxi Posted April 2, 2013 Share 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
