Haha! That looks wicked, no3ljm! Makes me want to mess around with my Yamato GBP.

Thanks abbadon! ;) the only thing that will throw you off is the colors. Unless, you'll paint the strike packs into the GBP colors. Or you could just Photoshop it, like I did. Hehehe. :lol:

Picked up this baby unused for under $100. :)

Now I have to find Max's. *sigh*

And finally finished my Pixie Squadron too. :)

Wow! That's a good catch! Hope you snag Max under $100 too. ;)

Wow, congrats on the Pixie Squadron Lolicon! Been looking around for the gray Nene and Lalamia versions. May I ask where you got them from?

This arrived today....

*snip*

Ozma, not Michael. My collection is currently hanging on the wet bar until I finish building its new home.

Congrats! ;)

Got Apollyon two weeks ago, great representation of G1 Megatron and great figure all around. No issues with my copy. Quick phone pics:

Wow! That looks awesome. It's so Megatron. :o How big is this compared to the Masterpiece version? And which one is more expensive? I do have some Transformers that I want to buy besides my Hot Rod/Rodimus collection. But I know for sure that if I started collecting or buying a different line, it's not going to end. :unsure:

Apollyon is smaller than MP5 Masterpiece Megatron (because it's meant to scale with the newer MP10 Optimus Prime). The first run was $150 before shipping, the second run should be hitting stores end of June and it's going to be $165. It's totally worth it IMO.

Thanks Ignacio. And it didn't come with the 'orange plug', I assume?

Both the scope and the barrel came with the plug. The plug from the barrel was very easy to take off (now the scope barrel was a real pain in the ass :D ).

I see. Thanks Ignacio! Hope you post pictures soon along with a VF-1. So we can see the height comparison. ;)

Thanks! I got both of them from Mandarake. One I got myself from their Akihabara shop, the other was ordered online. They don't show up often anymore, so you gotta snag them as soon as you see them!

They can be purchased off Amazon too, for a mark-up though...

This just arrived!

Brand new and waiting to be opened!

My very first transformable Macross toy.

And more in the upcoming weeks!

an interesting item to start with! Normally you'd start with a Valkyrie but Macross Quarter is still cool! Well done! =)

Now I'm thinking. Is there a member here who started their Macross collection by buying first the Yamato's 1/3000 SDF-1? That would be awesome. :rolleyes:

Finally found a Fold Booster and Tomahawk for really good price! The VF-17D, VF-1J with Super Parts, and VF-1S with Strike Parts came along as well :p Everything practically MIB so I couldn't resist. Will have to pass on the 17D, Super 1J and Strike 1S to some other interested MWer though ;)

i finally got one :wub:

IMG_2372_zps60lwzihn.jpg

it's sealed and never coming out of the box.

Congrats, man you just don't know what you are missing with it in the box. As soon as mine arrived when they originally went on sale it came straight out of the box, there is no way I am selling it :)

thanks loop! was looking for months for one. and got really lucky to find one sealed with the 1st run decals.

came out to 578 shipped EMS. though it's pricey like a vf-4g, but i think it was a good price.

Its not quite a toy, but to fuel my other hobby...

After many months of saving, cutting back on various things and toy purchases (Big thanks to Bandai and Arcadia for not many releases in 2015). I was able to buy new camera gear. BTW my hobby fund has been depleted considerably.

Also I usually give my electronics girl names (Its just something I do, don't judge :p ). I am contemplating naming this camera Milia. What do you guys think? Any other Macross based name suggestions?
