VF-11B sold already!

Not surprised there as it hard to find one these days and at 25k yen is a bargain.. No wonder that most collectors wish that Arcadia will make the VF-11 valks.  

Edit: I want one too now that I think about it...

The Thunderbolt has always been my favorite of Yamato's valkyries.  :D

They never quite did the YF-19 justice, but they nailed the VF-11... at least, in fighter mode.  :wub:

Just got delivered from Amiami.

AY Megs (sealed) and S.H. Figuarts White Crow [Box B/Item B]

I was looking for a White Crow after missing out on a copy that was available from Manda at roughly 4.5k yen as one is available for 8k yen (not worth it).

They certainly are a nice thing but I don't miss mine after selling them..  definitely not enough to re-buy one.

Well, not at the prices they're fetching on the secondary market, eh?  :p

As much as we worship the YF-19 (and well we should, it's a work of art), the one thing that always disappointed me about Macross Plus is how little respect the VF-11 gets.  Despite its auspicious debut -- in one of the finest action sequences ever animated, I might add -- it's never given any attention, treated as merely an outdated model ready to be replaced by the New Hotness.  They might as well just used ol' VF-1s for the opening sequence instead.  <_<

@spanner: Do you have any Rice Rockets in your collection (besides the Lexus)? I'm referring to the Acura NSX/Integra, Mazda Cosmos/RX-7, Nissan Silvia/Skyline, Honda S2000/Si-R, Toyota Supra/FRS etc...

I had a fair amount of 1/18 when I was in YYZ, however I had to sell them all when I moved back to YVR.. :(

Edit: I was a former apprentice mechanic in the automotive trade before I switched into Property Manangment (working towards my certification in the field).

Hey, yeah I have only a few ricers.. here's a pic showing them on the bottom shelf.

I once had over 200 cars and sold most of them off but as of the arrival of the Rangie I now have 111 again.

Not too shabby! Seeing the 280 SX is the kicker for me... I might have to chase down a 1:18 Mazda RX-7 (FD3S), but with the upcoming two 1/6th figures (on pre-order is going to be tighter on the budget) and I set aside for one of them already.

Edit: It's not Macross that I'm focusing on, I've got other stuff as well that I'm also collecting as well...

October’s HLJ box came in.

I now own 4/5 members of Delta Platoon, despite originally planning on just getting the -31J and -31C.

Guren SEITEN to go with my Lancelot Albion. I missed out on the original Robot Damashii releases, and these figures are pretty much the easiest way to get them at the moment, without paying too much.

And Gundam Love Phantom, because I love what was done with the design. They made Gundam Deathscythe out of Strike Freedom with a Noir Striker backpack. That’s the sort of “Gunpla is Freedom” that the Build series of shows is great for.

Oh, that Guren SEITEN box is gorgeous. Can't wait for mine to get here tomorrow.
