robokochan Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Thanks for your support (as always). Basically what is going to happen is, well i don't know. Try to recover. Who knows he may magically fix everything and have it for me next week. But it is unlikely. I no longer trust him. Also turns out that he lied about the Ghost being finished as well.... Oh Well lesson learned. Never pay for a contract service up-front, or at least until the project is almost finished. I think I will just make it myself...I can do it. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wm cheng Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hey MN, So sorry to hear about it - I for one am very grateful for all your efforts and look forward to your goal - just getting caught up on the soap opera now Also estatic that its alive again - I sincerely hope you will recoup your losses. Any chance of pictures or where it is at this point? Thanks again MN!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayson72 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Wow that was fast, really happy to hear it's alive again. Would love to see pics even of the broken pieces as a teaser . When you said it was broken my first thought was "surely someone here could fix it no matter how badly is was broken". Sounds like I was right hurray!

robokochan Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Okay, Here are some of the details. It is being built from scratch again. I have to check on a few things before we can start it. But what I can confirm is. It will be built by John Moscato. So high quality is not an issue. Thanks John!! It will be hollow an highly detailed.. It will be compatible with the Hasegawa VF-1 Super Kit (pending designs) In the future if enough people get them, there will be a launch vehicle made as well. I will have full details in the new thread. Give me a day or two and all will be revealed. Plus something to make all MWers happy!

captain america Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 It's unfortunate to see how much sheer grief Rob had to go through on a project as simple as the Valkyrie booster. I was so sure that there would be a little bit more professionalism in Japan, what with their strong GK industry, but apparently it's just as bad as in my neck of the woods (Montreal.) I pretty much don't subcontract anything out anymore because of incidents just like those... At this point I'd rather just refuse a client alltogether on a project than bite off more than I can chew and have to deal with all these half-assed con men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherB Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 John, I completely agree with you, and I really appreciate the way you stepped in to help. Thank you very much! Yeah, I always had the impression that Japan was a place where the code of honor rang supreme, but in this day and age, no country is immune from shady people. The time of the Samurai is long gone. Sincerely, Christopher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristopherB Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 (edited) Welcome to my little club I appreciate that, it's nice to feel welcome. I'm not sure what motivated you, but I finally decided it was time to chose a scale and stick with it. I think it's cool to be able to display all of your stuff, and be able to compare different sizes between items due to the fact that they are all scaled the same. Not only that, but there is so much available in 1/72, that you can spend a lot of money, and stay busy for a long time collecting all of the different models and toys. Of course that doesn't mean completely ignoring special items that the IHP 1/100 VB-6 recast, or the Yamato version. Do I get a membership card or something like that? Just PM me the details about our secret handshake and meeting location and I'll be there. By the way, I know you have a ton of 1/72 stuff , and I would love to see the list sometime.

Grayson72 Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 (edited) Heh secret handshake, you're funny. I chose 1/72 scale for several reasons: There's a lot to collect in this scale (as you stated) I wanted to limit myself and this seemed to be the one with the most to offer, especially if you want to buy diorama stuff to go with it I do stray when there's a few items I want like the 1/48 models, and I collected all the little Zentradi ships cuz like they would'nt fit on my property in 1/72 scale Here's the list: This is just the Macross and Mospeada models, I got tons of other scifi and modern military models too, all in 1/72 scale. All items are 1/72 unless noted otherwise All items are original unless noted otherwise VF-1A Fighter Valkyrie clear w/special decals VF-1A Fighter Valkyrie x4 VF-1J Fighter Valkyrie x2 VF-1S Fighter Valkyrie VF-1A Super Valkyrie VF-1S Strike Valkyrie VF-1 Valkyrie Weapon Set x2 VT-1 Valkyrie "Super Ostrich" VE-1 Valkyrie "Elintseeker" YF-19 Fighter VF-1 Battroid YF-21 Fighter Macross Display Stand VF-1A Super Battroid Valkyrie VF-1S Strike Battroid VF-0S Valkyrie SV-51 VF-1 Super/Strike Valkyrie VF-0B Valkyrie VF-1S Strike Battroid, Minmei Guard VF-22S VF-1D Valkyrie VF-19 Fighter VF-1A Valkyrie Angel Birds VF-1J Valkyrie Max & Millia Two-in-One Set VF-1D Valkyrie "Max/Virgin Road" (Wedding Episode) VF-1A Valkyrie Low Viz VF-1S Super Fighter Valkyrie VF-1J Super Fighter Valkyrie (Max) VF-1A Super Fighter Valkyrie VF-1D Valkyrie (Variable) x5 VF-1A Valkyrie (Variable)x4 VF-1S Valkyrie (Variable) VF-1J Valkyrie (Max) (Variable) VF-1J Valkyrie (Milia) (Variable) Destroid Missile Phalanx Destroid Tomahawk Destroid Defender x5 Zentradi Glaug Destroid Spartan x3 Armored Battroid VF-1J Zentradi Standard Regult x2 Zentradi Quel Quallie Theater-Scout Bug-Eye 1/720 Zentradi Fighter Pod 1/72 Destroid Monster (recast) 1/72 Legios & Tread (recast) Mospeada Gurab Mospeada Gurab (recast) Mospeada Ligaa (recast) Mospeada Ligaa w/Booster (recast) Mospeada Legios AFC-01Z (red) VF-19 Sound Booster Add-on Cat's Eye Recon Fan Liner Fan Racer Fan Racer (recast) VF-4G Lightning III Fighter Zentradi Queadluun-Rau VF-11 (Wonderfest Special) 1/48 VF-1S Ultimate Detail Strike Valk (recast) 1/48 YF-19 (recast) 1/48 YF-21 (recast) VF-2SS Lancer II x2 VF-17 Battroid VF-11C Super Battroid Edited July 25, 2004 by Grayson72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grayson72 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Are you into the Destroids at all? They've gotta be the most difficult to collect in 1/72 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherB Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I'm definitely in to them, and would love to work on collecting whatever is available. I'm working on completing the Hasegawa list right now. The normal items are fairly easy, but the rare kits cost a good bit more. I think that I'll work on the Destroids next, but I honestly have no idea what is available, what is really rare, and then of course the holy grail of them. My only problem is that I would need (1) to build, and (1) to collect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myersjessee Posted July 27, 2004 Author Share Posted July 27, 2004 Yep...the Destroids and the Glaug are a bear. Grayson...in terms of totals, all in all I would be we are about the same..I have other scales, but I dont have multiples of basically anything....Im jealous of how complete your list is!

My only problem is that I would need (1) to build, and (1) to collect. The hardest of all destroids is gotta be the Missile Phalanx Destroid in 1/72 followed closely by the 1/72 Monster. Both very expensive, both Wonderfest exclusives. I got the Monster recast from Monkey Nugget which was actually improved from the original. Good luck in your quest, two of everything may be difficult and not necessary, i.e., the monster takes up a whole shelf in the closet, it doesn't have a fancy box either. So in order of rarity (in my opinion) and approx. value Phalanx $180-200 Monster $350-$400 Tomahawk $80-95 Spartan $50-70 Defender $40-$50 Edited July 27, 2004 by Grayson72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherB Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Yeah, at those prices, I can forget doubles. Especially the Monster, wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
