coronadlux Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 So what happens when your wife (G.F. / S.O. / soulmate) drags you off yard sale hunting? You visit a place that looks like a junk yard. You make the best of it and carefully peak at the stuff around you. Some random box stuck in a shed full of bird crap so thick it's like mud. But, a quick look inside the box had me stepping in there. I found this inside! The cover is rough, the poster has tape on the corners, but the book is complete for the most part. Doesn't have the film strip. I paid a whopping $5.00! Any idea of what it's worth? I will post more pics tomorrow during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaajin Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) Thats the Macross gold book. Nice find. I think its worth beteen 60-100 ish, depending on condition. Edited : here's one on mandarake @ ¥10k (used to be USD100, but now around USD70-80 due to weakening Yen) http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1922155.html Edited December 28, 2014 by aaajin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvmacross Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 A lesson for us all....Make sure your wife/gf/parents/other know not to make your stuff yard sale fodder...in case you were to unexpectedly buy the farm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetJockey Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 That's like finding gold. There's a guy on youtube that goes to garage / yard sales for videogames. I'm still surprised by the finds. I went to a toy sale once and got some old Star Wars toys. But they knew what they had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvmacross Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 LOL...no..... I was responding to the prior poster's comment "I just pray that when I die, my wife will get what the items are worth, and not what I told her I paid for them"....

jvmacross Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Thats the one i built! Whoever bought it got a nice deal....just placing the decals alone on the ARMDs makes it more interesting than the pre-built Yamato..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anubis20 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Whoever bought it got a nice deal....just placing the decals alone on the ARMDs makes it more interesting than the pre-built Yamato..... Yea took a lot of work about 6 months i think. At first, because the toy version seems so plain, i though it was just a matter of assembling it and i would have the toy version in hand. I was wrong! that thing had a lot more paint apps and by then i decided i might as well panel line it and give it a few of my own touches. I did keep a set of 01 and 02 decals in case i ever decide to get the assembled version again. Edited April 20, 2015 by anubis20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a set of the decals to bring some life to the toy version.....imo, the toy version is the most boring thing Yamato put out....if they ever decided to release a tv version....my dyrl would never see the light of day again....maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
