jet660 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 I am not sure if done this poll before or if is the best to place it here. Maybe in the past you guys did. I am very curious what do Macross fans like to purchase. It is too bad you can list them in order of importance, but you can explain it in your post. I would not be suprise that buying toys is first since the demand and quantity is there. Where as others are harder to find and/or expensive. Then again I could be wrong. Enjoy Anyways, for me as a collector, even though most of my collection is toys (majority Yamato), I like to collect Macross books first, when the price is right though. I don't take too much of a hit to my wallet when buying books at times. The problems I had is finding them, prices, and, knockoffs. I am Macross purist I like to buy original stuff, not the KO stuff. But, I perfectly understand people buy KOs because cheaper and it make sense, b/c I start with it in the beginning. I cherish my books and cd collection more than my toys at the time when Yamato didn't existed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beltane70 Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Since I have a multitude of Macross items in my collection, I voted others. Just out of curiosity, how many of us own Macross LPs? I have one, the BGM to DYRL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tekkaman Blade Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 DVD, tapes and Laserdiscs I have all of Macross 7 on Laserdisc, Macross TV on DVD, Macross 7 on DVDs, etc. I want to get all Region 2's of everything sometime on DVD. 2nd place would be games. I got M3 for Dreamcast, VF-X1 and 2. and Macross Plus for PS. I also have DYRL for Saturn. I would love some more games if I could find them.

Anubis Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 (edited) I have a complete Macross DVD collection, minus M0 (which is on my pc), 2 wallscrolls, my Yamato/Bandai valks, CM Macross figures, DYRL Minmei PVC, Macross: The Complete (TV/DYRL soundtrack), and the Design Works book, with the intent to buy much more over time. Whetever merchandise seems interesting to me. Edited December 27, 2003 by Anubis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J A Dare Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Just out of curiosity, how many of us own Macross LPs? I have one, the BGM to DYRL. I have 5 or 6, can't remember. My turntable is boxed up because I don't have enough space and wall-sockets in my tiny studio apartment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiriyu Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 I've also voted 'Others' because I tend to buy items from several categories: toys, videos, books, etc (in that order)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_e Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Hmm...well, I voted toys because that's where I spend most of my Macross money, but I do buy other things too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhyone Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Unlike many others here, I'm not so fixated on the VF-1 or other VFs. I only have a 1/48 VF-1S (1.0), a VF-1J and two FAST packs. If I had known the 1/48 VF will come out, I may have skipped the 1/60 VF altogether. I have two of those, the VF-1A and the VF-1S, non-FAST pack. I like character figures, but I skip the expensive ones. I prefer canon dressing and posing. The 1/6 PVC swimsuit Misa is nice, but non-canon, and I cannot convince myself to get it. Of course, they must look like the character too! (Many figures fail this test; Macross or not) Also, I find there is too many Minmay and no one else! Where's Misa? For books, I curse the day I found out I can still find them on the market. I probably paid on the high side for many of them due to my "enthusiasm". I still don't have any "rare" books yet. Posters.. none right now, and quite unlikely, unless I can get them cheap. Music.. I didn't bother previously because I thought the 3-disc set Macross the Complete is complete. Is it? Doesn't seem so to me. I don't know if I should buy the bootleg CDs.. originals are not available anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Valkyrie Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Basically Toys and CD`s, before I used to buy a lot of Macross models but not any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JsARCLIGHT Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 My primary objectives: - toys from the original SDF: Macross TV show, DYRL and Flashback... specifically the VF-1X series - toys from Genesis Climber Mospeada (or it's bastard cousin Robotech: New Generation) My secondary objectives: - DVDs of the above... which I already own, so that is pretty much fulfilled. In the grand money scheme of things Macross is more of a lesser side-hobby of mine as it only gets the bare minimum of money spent on it monthly compared to my cars, guns, books and movie collection.

Graham Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Books, CDs, toys, DVDs, console games, calendars, I pretty much collect all Macross stuff, except for the model kits as I can't paint to save my life. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowlightman Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 I'm a connosieur of the 'Chunky Misa' hentai doujinshi, and my Macross purchases are limited to those. I don't have that big of a collection, most a little of this and a little of that. A few Bandai reissues and various other toys, some art books, a few CDs (Macross Plus and Macross 7), a few DVDs, a coupel video games and a few models. I don't have the extra cash to spend too much on my collection, so I mostly just buy the things I really want and don't worry too much about getting "everything." But I don't have any Macross hentai doujinshi, sadly to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC Valkyrie Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 In the distant past, I was happy to own the DVD's of various anime, (Macross + Gundam being the most sought after). However, ever since joining this board in Dec. 2001 (exactly 2 years ago), I have spent a lot of money on Macross toys. I think many others will attest to that. MW will make you bankrupt!!

Mechamaniac Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Mainly toys, but like Monkey-N, I buy most of that stuff. Primarily Toys and DVD's though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine23 Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Definitely primarily toy purchases. But I've been known to plunk down for DVDs and Books. But to be honest, look at what is available - 99% toys & models, then a few things here and there, mostly vintage. Transforming mecha toys/models is pretty much the beating heart of Macross, merchandise-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerwalk25 Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 (edited) I collect any Macross item no matter how cool, unusual and even RT related (very little of the latter though). ~G25 Edited January 3, 2004 by gerwalk25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
