Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

[505thAirborne]

Hey guys,

Short question...

How much would you Pay for an Factory sealed VF-1D ?

This is just an Photo i found in the net, but exactly this one.

I could buy one for 100$

Thanks

The VF-1D, VT-1 and VE-1 were the best of the V.1 series. If you can get this for a $100,00, call it a win!

[spanner]

Thanks for the fast answer.

It includes everything, so it's the end Price and all i have to Pay.

Hmm, but i am really not sure if i should cop or drop

not sure if you've done any research on these earlier version toys as they really aren't anywhere near the quality, sophistication and accuracy of the v2+ toys. But if you have and you're happy with what they are then by all means go for it!

Besides to get your hands on a v2 VF-1D these days you'll be looking at least 3 - 4 + more times the cost for one.

Yes, i am aware of that

But i think, First versions, Collection wise, maybe not that Bad. If the Price is right. And of course the fact it was never opened.

S..., i missed one 2 weeks ago for 200 Bucks incl. Shipping from France

😃👍 i think about it

It finally arrived! I got a set of 25F super armour from Mandarake, described as "damaged box"

The box is practically perfect and the inner tray was sealed. That completes the final piece in the jigsaw puzzle of Frontier Skull squadron.

[abbadon]

Nice! Congrats on the purchase. Skull Squadron is looking good!

[sh9000]

DX9 Chigurh arrived today. Pretty fun bot.

I like the DX9 boxes for these guys, too.

Cool. I'm thinking about getting this version Astrotrain, Galvatron, and then their Blitzwing.

Not Macross and he's in the background, but Mutavore joins my other PR kaiju

It is oversized and has more diecast. Id say the quality is even better than Takara's own MP-10. Also for me the biggest selling point was the scale in alt mode. As a truck MP-10 just seems so undersized when paired with other autobots.

Here is MPP-10 next to your standard issue 1/60 VF-1

And here he is with other MP cars in alt mode. Trailer is available but sold separately.

Nice pictures, Optimus become a real big brother back!

Hi Guys,

Just a noob question, for v1 Yamato, other than the legs, can the shoulder parts/head arms (upper body) be used as spare parts for v2?

[Valkyrie Driver]

Hi Guys,

Just a noob question, for v1 Yamato, other than the legs, can the shoulder parts/head arms (upper body) be used as spare parts for v2?

No. They are very different designs. The way the Yamato V1 toys transform is very different than the way the v2 does it. Not to mention the arms are completely different, and IIRC (been a while since I've handled my V1 on account of it being broken) the ball joints in the shoulders are different sizes, and it's just all together a different toy.

edit: this sort of question belongs in the noobie question thread.

I have to admit, that KO version is mighty impressive for a TF toy! impressive enough to consider buying one?? hmmm.. that im not so sure of though..

damn anubis, it looks awesome im really considering get one now,why you do this to me? XD

i know eh! although it might look good next to my (incoming) Cloud 9 Quakeblast! but for friggs sake im not starting up a new line of figures..

[sh9000]

The large one might be too tall standing next to your Quakeblast and anything else. Maybe get MP-10 instead.

[ErikElvis]

This is the first time I saw MPP-10 is in this thread. Had to order one.

[anubis20]

Its the best KO on the planet If you plan to display it by itself or in alt mode it looks fine. I dont have a centralized masterpiece shrine so that scale didnt bug me as far as robot mode. My MPs i usually keep them boxed, Transform them, and display them for a day or two and then throw them back in the box. But i must always have an Optimus on display since he is iconic.

I wouldn't be surprise. Maybe this is a KO of an existing KO toy.

Hahaha! I'm going to get banned for sure for adding this new 'quote' from Spanner.

Though it did says that 'Any number of lines' so it's still safe, I guess. Bring it on, Spanner.

Ended up buying that MPP-10 off that super cheap ebay link above. Figured why not for the money - I'll report back when it shows up (if ever).

collecting any of these wouldn't necessarily be scale dependant as I would only pick up what tickles my fancy but this massive Prime figure is giving me butterflies!

yes it would appear that way but I guess we can just wait and see how Mechinyun's purchase pans out.. fingers crossed eh cos if all goes well then I'll be up for one or a couple for sure!

I wouldn't be surprise. Maybe this is a KO of an existing KO toy.

a KO-KO toy! hehe!

if it actually is a legit non KO of the KO toy then that price is just insane! I haven't seen any MPP-10 going for less than $99 usd..

(Looking forward to my KO MPP Optimus Prime)

my cousin has a Cloud9 Quakeblast coming for me for my 40th and he has a spare MPP-10 figure he said he's happy to give me also! He also has a few RMX-01 Jaguar (Ravage) coming and I might even score one of them also!

I think that recent bump to my head is causing some serious mental implications as I never really cared much for Transformers yet this is all happening! yikes!

Well... You've been WARNED!

But then again, congrats on your MPP purchase.

hehe! this wallet destruction animation gets some pretty high mileage! but its relevance is absolute!

I think I speak for all of us here when I say we are all definitely eagerly awaiting the outcome of this!

My NECA Aliens drop ship finally arrived. Can't say im overly impressed by it.. but it looks ok I guess. The little APC is very cute though!

Being mostly die-cast it has some weight to it and will make a nice little desk ornament / paperweight..

20160507_113829.jpg

Yeah, I just got mine in today. Pretty disappointed by the quality. It's a decent enough size, but my top tail fins are seriously warped down. They should be straight at about a 45 degree angle. They're curved down almost horizontal on mine. When I looked at the plastic packaging I can see that they probably wouldn't even fit if the top fins were at the proper angle. The paint apps on the missiles is terrible. The main front lights are wrong, my right light piece is not even glued on correctly. The omission of the hydraulics for the cargo ramp is very conspicuous and glaring IMO. Even for the size they could have done something. I've seen it done on smaller toys.

Sigh, with just a little more follow though and a little more QC this would have been a great little die cast toy. Oh well, hopefully the other ships will be a little better.

Edit: I decided to add some pics of the problems and I thought why not show my latest Nausicaa acquisitions these last few weeks.

Seriously warped top tail fins. I'm tempted to heat them up and straighten them out.

The larger lower tail fins are die cast, yet they are also warped and bent out of shape.

Sloppy paint on the missiles. I can't tell if all that goopy-ness is plastic or excess paint.

Now for some cool Nausicaa stuff.

We have the

Nausciaa and Moeve prepainted model by Cominica

Gunship by Formania

Ohmu in it's calm blue-eyed state by ensky. The Ohmu is a pull back toy. It's kind of neat as the different sections move back and forth as well as the front mandilbes as it rolls across the floor so it looks like it's crawling and alive as it moves.

[anubis20]

More gokins arrived today

[sh9000]

I think all of the Dropship toys came with the tailfins that way. They'll have to be carefully straightened. The hydraulics for the ramp were probably not included because of the launch gimmick for the ramp.

At $22, I went ahead and snagged one also.

I think the main thing with this toy is that it was cheap.. but I guess I had my expectations set a little too high. In the end I don't mind so much about its deficiencies as it looks ok sitting on my desk but what did annoy somewhat more so was the cost of shipping. At about 1.5 times the cost of the toy itself and packaged in a box so unnecessarily large that no doubt didn't help in keeping the postage costs down..

And I also had to straighten the rear winglets as they were flopping down. I though it was due to fitting inside the packaging but when I straightened them out I placed the toy back in the packaging and the wings don't touch anything.

I added some pics in my original post about it. I was able to get free shipping from toysrus.com on orders over $19. It doesn't seem like it's for a limited time either. Looks like a new shipping strategy they are doing to be competative. I mean I can live with the size, lack of detail or lack of certain features due to the price, but the plastc and die-cast metal being warped and sloppy paint is just not right.
