Jefuemon Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Plus it's coming to a point for me to get rid of some things to make room. Let me know if you've got any old resin kits you'd like to unload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Once I feel its complete and post the pics on the Mac server. I'm contemplating on selling my VMF and start searching for the takatokus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicker773 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Sorry guys, When I said VMF i was referring to the other dolls.=) Minmay stays put. Plus She might get a twin later down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceoftherebellion Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 In this reply I dramatically demonstrate the trouble with growing your collection faster than you make room for it. Before you ask 'how do you see the screen' the simple answer is that I don't. Fortunately, mechs are far more interesting to look at than most things I could be looking on the computer, so I guess we can call the whole thing even.

DarrinG Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Interesting how the Matchbox Glaug and Regult are -in a way- 1/60 scale... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceoftherebellion Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Yeah, I always thought that was a kind of neat coincidence. Even more amusing is if you go by the 10 meter height Macross 7 claims for the Zentreadi rather than the actual size they seem to appear onscreen in the show, even the little Zentreadi G.I.Joe style figures actually work out to be in the ballpart of 1/60-is, only a little bit smaller than the Miria figure that came with the Queadluun. Definitely not perfect, but it's not like Macross ever tried very hard to keep mecha scales consistent with each other anyway, especially with the Zentreadi, so I couldn't be happier with the scale of these things. Mostly I'm just happy that they exist at all, and manage to blend in reasonably well with toys made 20 years later. Matchbox didn't do much right by Macross, but I tip my hat to them for these guys.

skullmilitia Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I'm freshly started on my Macross stuff, but I'm hitting it hard.. Waiting on the arrival of the F4 and Vf29! It's not a lot, I've got two more Macross holes in the display case, but they aren't finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Matchbox didn't do much right by Macross, but I tip my hat to them for these guys. Really? Both the battle pods are good. Their Destroids, considering they were only $10 at retail originally, still hold up well as the Nousjadeul-Ger though it is a tad skinny. The Bioriod, Invid Scout and Invid Shock trooper all look good (I know, not Macross), though the two Invid could use more articulation. The only two that weren't great were the non-transforming VF-1 and the only semi-partial transforming Hovertank (also not Macross.). I still have everything they made from that line except for the VF-1, Defender and Spartan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was wearing my kid goggles back in the 80's, they were hot stuff... haha. But, like a lot of girls I knew back then, they didn't age so well. =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the best on the market (and still are for some designs) just through sheer virtue of being the only things on the market but other than that, I find them pretty 'eh'. I agree that a lot of the Southern Cross and Mospeada stuff was pretty awesome, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceoftherebellion Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Wasn't the SDF-1 just a repackaged Takatoku with nerfed gimmicks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benson13 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Yeah but it doesn't matter because it's still awesome and I personally wouldn't want the launchers in the arms because I think the gimmicks are ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaorin Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) i used to have that same GUNDAM W wall scroll up in my room ten years ago. i still have it, packed away somewhere. GUNDAM WING never was one of the better series, IMO, but i had no internet a decade back, and only a single local-ish comic shop from which to satiate my Anime/Manga interests on anything approaching a regular basis, so beggars could hardly be choosers, i suppose...
