Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

I am surprised that myfigurecollection has only listed 5 owners of the VF-0D. That means not many people on this forum use the site to track their collection.

http://myfigurecollection.net/item/198517

Macross toy collecting tends to be pretty high brow due to price and the required knowledge to appreciate VFs, and collectors who specialise in this understands that Macross toys do meet multiple key factors of toy collecting, hence they may not diversify as much as general collectors who require multiple toy lines to fulfil their tastes.

I did not know this site existed. I wouldn't assume a large enough percentage of collectors either know of this site or update regularly.

I keep my MFC page regularly updated, I just didn't get a VF-0D for various reasons:

ecoboost? GT? I love the new mustangs. I think on the GT's the package with black rims gave you 3.73's? :wub:

I went with the EcoBoost performance package. The GT with the same package would have had the 3.73 TORSEN rear end and 6 piston Brembos, which would have been pretty sweet, but the price and MPG of the turbo 4 just made more sense. Still 310hp, 320ft-lbs and a 3.55 rear are plenty enough get up and go to have a good time.

Also, this is one of like only three turbo mustangs with a performance package AND a stick in the whole state, and the only one in this color. :D

Hey guys! I made some BIG purchases over the weekend! Finally found another VT-1 to replace the one I so stupidly let go previously..

AND I also managed to score both Max & Milia's VF-1J!!! These two have got to be the holy grail of Valkyrie and I physically cannot describe the emotions that are running through me right now as I have been on the hunt for both Max & Milia for a considerable amount of time now.. Hopefully I will see them all in a couple of weeks which im sure will be a long and painful wait! B))

Yes they were by no means cheap but on the other hand I think I got them at a fairly reasonable price considering how rare they are and what the price they demand! All brand new items too! Can't wait! :D

So this pretty much completes my VF-1 collection apart from a few weathering editions which I probably won't bother with..

I know there is a possibility that Arcadia may (or then again may not) re-issue them but at this stage its still a complete unknown and I think I would prefer to have a set of Yamato originals.. Regardless im still very content with my purchases!

Congrats spanner, I'd love a Milia to go with my Max. They're both so awesome. Only Max was in stock at Mandarake the last time I was in Tokyo otherwise I'da brought both of them home!

Enjoy

Congrats man! Can't wait till I get my V2 M&Ms. I have 2 V1 Max supers in the box and getting a V1 Miria soon. They have a sweet looking displayable box and going to leave them mint. The V2s though, those it will take out and put on display, can't wait till I get to feel that same thrill you did! YAY!

sweet pickups, spanner! what, no nsfw pics of m&M yet? hehehe

hehe! not yet but soon! :D

Nice pickup spanner! I remember they were a pain to track down, even 4 years ago, but I just had to have M&M in the V2 sculpt.

Enjoy :)

yes they have been a right prick to track down! I had seen them available a few times on the Japan Auction sites but they were always asking frightening money for them! Like I said they weren't cheap by any stretch of the imagination but still not too bad either! Heck its only money and it always comes round again and im more than happy with the money I spent! B))

Nice one, Spanner! Those are pretty great purchases! Very hard to find indeed and a fine addition to any collection!

Reeeeaaalllyyy looking forward to getting them! Estimated delivery is about two weeks away though.. :unsure:

I do want an M&M set, though I think I'd want their VF-22s. I have only one VF-1 on display at the moment, and I'd like a few more, but a VF-1A and a VF-1J GBP are higher priority than the VF-1J M&M. I don't have a VF-22, and I do love the M7 valks.

Managed to snag a VF-25F Alto Renewal unopened for 13k yen from Mandarake. I was surprised that it fit into a <2kg small packet as I thought their stores don't have long short boxes, maybe it is on a store to store basis.

This is way below the current market price of 16k in Yahoo Auction.

So I got Alto VF-25F + Armor Renewal for 40k in total before shipping, not too bad for today's prices.
