Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Based on Jenius and Veef's review which Scyla posted above, I'm sure it will be great. From what I've seen so far with the parts when I checked the package, it really looks impressive. But I haven't tried it yet since I'm still waiting for my VF-25F unit which hopefully it will arrive on Monday. My only regret is that I just decided to get this now to complete the Red and Black stripe scheme Valks, so it's really quite expensive. :unsure: I also wish for the Armored Parts, but looking at some site, it's almost the same price, if not, more than the price of the VF-25F Renewal base unit. I just hope Bandai will reissue the Alto Armored Parts. :rolleyes:

Oh, the condition? Well, it looks ok for me. There's some area that needs cleaning like sticky surfaces. But it's not that biggie. So I cleaned it up with damp cloth with a little mild soap and wipe it with clean cloth. :) Hope that helps.

Edit: The one I ordered, it says Used and has some minor tear and shelf wear on the box. As long as there's no damage inside, I'm happy. ;)

"Complete the Red and Black stripe collection", is starts that way ! Then something grey or tan creeps in and suddenly you got another 10 variants to chase ! Happened to me ! LOL

Hahaha! That's true. :lol: Technically, I just said to myself I will just buy Hikaru's main Valks except for the VF-1D and VT-1. VF-4G is getting expensive and I don't like it at first but it grows into me esp in fighter mode so I'm just waiting for a reissue/renewal. Got lucky, extra budget-wise, when the Isamu valks (YF-29 and Arcadia's YF-19) went available for P.O. And I kinda like the trend that I'm going since they're all red and black. (Now I wish Isamu's valk is colored off-white too. :lol: ) So I decided I will just buy those scheme and as long that I like the valk designs.

Buying or completing this toy line (transforming 1/60 scale) is really that expensive. And for its size, it really takes space on working table and cabinet. Too bad I started late on the Macross F line so I paid after market prices even though it's posted in mandarake (super parts). So I grabbed as much as long that I won't go over my budget. And since I already purchased almost all the Red and Black stripe Valks that I like, I guess I'm all set. ;) Just waiting for the release on the YF-30 Chronos. The only exemption on this planned scheme is the VF-1J Hikaru (still with my sister); if Arcadia will reissue VF-4G in FB2012 color or even the default color (VF-X game?); and if Arcadia will do a renewal of YF-21, which I doubt it will happen this year. Hehehe. :D

That's it. ;)

My friend in Japan told me about a 25S at Mandarake that had just been sold by a collector. It hadn't even been listed yet and while the toy was totally mint the box had a ding on one of the corners causing a markdown.

Paypaled him 22,000 yen instantly and he gave it to my gf who delivered it today when she flew over (Of course I was happy to see her too but I got a chance to photograph this while she was in the bath)

debating if I should panel-line it or not as I already have other 25S'es :0

Recently picked up a renewal VF-27y in mint condition for quite cheap! Box had a few little scuffs on it.. Made a small modification to the stand so I can display it with the gun sitting level underneath.

Displaying it with the green canopy and without super parts.. Looks cleaner and shows off its sexy lines better! Really loving the look of the Lucifer! B))
