baronv Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I saw at F&S a week ago the TRU Masterpiece Optimus Prime selling for just $50 at one of the booths. It's the booth in the middle aisles along teh middle walk-way. They had about 10 or so of them. Pretty cheap for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soze Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Hi guys. Never been to F&S. But I'm going to be in LA on Saturday and I need the following:All 1/48 scale Hikaru 1A (re-issue) Hikaru 1S Roy 1S (re-issue) Max 1A Milia 1J Can I be pretty confident that these will be around? If so, will I be able to at least peer through the clear plastic to inspect for QC issues before buying? Oh, and. . . are there other vendors there selling Macross stuff besides TISINC? Cuz the prices on their site seem a bit steep in some areas. Are prices generally lower at F&S? Thanks! H Hikaru 1A (re-issue) = 135 (at TISINC) only one that has that one too Hikaru 1S = Alex has this one for 119 but the box is pretty messed up (I bought the last one from TISINC last night, so they may not have any more unless they bring more in...) Max 1A = Not there will not find anywhere there Milia 1J = $185 (at TISINC) 205 at some other vendor Can I be pretty confident that these will be around? Look above If so, will I be able to at least peer through the clear plastic to inspect for QC issues before buying? Yes are there other vendors there selling Macross stuff besides TISINC? Yes but not very many, they may have one valk or two.... Are prices generally lower at F&S? Yes because no shipping and no tax if you pay with cash. Hikaru 1S - I have a buddy that has them for $110 + $10 shipping. I am out of the ones I was selling. Ask me for his info. Millia 1J - I will have more of these later for $165 if interested. I've also got Fast Packs for $55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoBe-Patt Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Ok, I scoped out Frank and Sons today. Not much here. But the microman batman figures were out. Pretty cool looking figures, and they're small too! 25 bucks for each one. Alex was closed today and Treasure Island of course was gone as well. Yoshi did have the CMS figures. He was selling the figures. He had single and sets. The most expensive one he had there was roy, 12 bucks. Everybody else was just regular priced at either 8 or 10. And for all you Robonimal Panda-Z: The Robonimation ( ??????? ) fans, Yoshi had the main character toy there for 35 bucks. Pretty cute and cool looking toy.

BoBe-Patt Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 yeah, I always end up going later instead of earlier. I should go earlier to get the good stuff first. Oh well. I'ma buy a box from tamim anyway. I'll try my luck to find the chase figure through buying the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechatek Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Anybody spot any new Macross items at F&S on Wed. May 26? I have a few EXO-SQUAD toys for sale, PM me if interested. This is just for you F&S regulars, since I don't want to deal with any shipping services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal_D Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 went today, no new stuff tho Yoshi did have some CMS figures for $7.50 each little anime shop was not open, neither was the person on the same isle closest to the front that sells anime stuff(who was SUPPOSED to be there so I can pick up something from him)... I did pick up a 1/6 Yuna pvc fig for $25. nice fig, will do nicely with my other FF figs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoBe-Patt Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Ok, I went early and saw that treasure island was finally open, but then everybody else that I usually go to was still closed. Weird. Anyway, I stuck around for a bit and finally everybody was open. Treasure Island had a bunch of the 1/48 valks in and q-rau's. But no GBP-1 armor yet. I went to go talk to alex and found out about the Pacific Media Expo that was apparently going on this weekend at the Anahiem convention center . It's a branch off of Anime Expo. I was planning on going with Alex so I can get in for free, but I had somewhere to be. I ran into Solsud and Jasonkimberson. Told them about the expo, so now they might be there. Hopefully somebody can post up a report about it. I'm just guessing it's going to be exactly like anime expo except smaller. Anyway, back to frank and sons. I walked around and found nothing new. I just picked up a set of the new final fantasy trading arts figures including the chase figure, Zack from FF Vll. At the same booth, they had the guyver lll figure and the guyver 1 figure. Both pictures can be seen at this old thread: Guyver Thread The guyver lll was selling for 50 while the guyver 1 was 60. I wanted to get both but couldn't afford it. Next time I will pick those up for sure! Alex of little anime shop had the CMS figures in including the chase figure. The chase was selling for 30 and he had the regulars as sets. I fogot how much he wanted per set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fokkers Fate Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Did anyone hear if Treasure Island was going to have the GBP armor on Saturday? I think I'll make the haul out there tomorrow to see. I hope enough time has passed, and now they have some of these. Also, does the cockpit shield have the hole in it, if you buy just the armor set?
