fansubs2000 Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Sounds like a dream come true dude, Congrats! I would ask the brother though man. His mom did give it to you, but honestly it wasn't hers to give. To her it may have been some dusty old crap toys.

Solscud007 Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 haha all good advice. Yeah most likely when i do meet the older brother I will win him over with my amazing charisma and wittiness that he wont care. haha Seriously though this guy only liked toys as a kid. But the upbrining told him to keep his toys analy in the box. hmm kinda sounds liek some I know huh Tony? anyway this guy went to highschool in the states and after that is those straight arrow business onyl kinda guys who doesnt even take holidays for fear that the company might realize that they did just fine with out his prescence and have a reason for termination. Anyways form how my GF describes this guy, I think these toys are the last thing on his mind and probably doesnt care about them as he did as a kid. Remember some peopl have tastes they enjoy as a child but as an adult can no longer tolerate them. kinda like how I used to love mayo and spoon it in a slice of bologna and east it like a taco. but I dont do that anymore. hehe Oh for those of you who are married and have kids, get your crap out of your parents houses!!!!! haha So true about the fact that if you got your own place, then you should have gotten your stuff long time ago.

wolfx Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 LOL! Well I'll be damned if he kept it all minty fresh as a kid. None of my toys are minty fresh and have their boxes. Although I don't handle them anally with gloves and transform only once/twice after I get them, I still kept them in pristine order....until my bro plays with them. Transformers' heads limbs get broken off...guns get lost etc. Pesky younger bro. I guess having a baby sister who's not interested in robots really does help in keeping toys in one piece. But curious though, if these toys were 20 years old (someone down the thread said 20 i think) and he's 30+, he'd be about 10-13ish when he got these stuff. Were these toys that well distributed around Canada (you're in Canada right?) or the US during the time? I'd figure they'd be rare imports during those times as well.....especially before the age of Robotech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solscud007 Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 no wolfx sorry I skipped a step. My GF's family are from Hong Kong. Im nto sure how long they were in canada but my GF was born in HK and lived there for a while. And she remembers her brothers attending High school at a boarding school in the states. These toys were from HK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull Leader Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Dude! You just........ suck. That's completely unfair, there's people (like me) who've been pining for AGES for an affordable GBP set in that condition (although, i'd prefer mine WITH the arm parts). I'm more than a little jealous! Now I need to find someone from Hong Kong or Japan and date them.... just so I can raid their older brother's collections!

JValk Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Dude you broke the NERD COLLECTING CODE! Don't you know that married nerd collectors, like myself, hide our true stashes in the home of our birthplace, so as to not arouse suspicion in the family home? Didn't you notice how, even though the guy is 31, his room still looks like a teen lives there? Didn't you see how METICULOUSLY the boxed goodies were stashed? Believe me, the momma had NOTHING to do with that! Finally, didn't you notice how it took you three days to finally locate the mother lode, which you probably wouldn't have found even in a million years if it wasn't for your own nerd collecting spidey sense tingling? That nerd spent YEARS properly hiding that stuff from the parental units! Finally - did you really think all that swag was from his youth? If you do some digging you should find minty fresh Ebay reciepts in the boxes! Ok, the Orgroid and the GBP are tasty. But the CHOGOKIN. That is a MINT GA-51 GAIKING! And look at that Grandizer! The Chogokin alone blow everything else away in terms of worth. So I say - be a man-nerd and go approach that brother at thanksgiving, and bring him aside, and fess up. Do the nerd-collecting secret handshake, and beg forgiveness from the Grand Poobah. Believe me, when you get married, you want a resource like that on your side. Otherwise, some day when you host thanksgiving at your house, you might find your entire collection superglued together - except for the missing items that your brother-in-law took back.

Ghadrack Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Hahaha, That is a bunch of cool stuff, and considering the condition it was kept in I think that you will be getting a nasty phone call or a harsh bang at the door some random day. Out of your own sense of self-preservation you probably ought to make sure it is cool with the true owner of that stuff that you take it. From the pictures, by today's collectors prices it looks like you lifted around a thousand dollars worth for goodies if not more. You know the golden rule.... How would you feel if your mom gave away all your collectibles.... Congrats on the find, I hope that your grilfriend's brother has "Grown up" and doesn't mind you keeping the goodies, but I wouldnt be too comfortable with that haul until you have his approval.

Draykov Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 (edited) The armor is mint except that it is missing the arm armor  the grey focker VF-1S has seen a few intergalatic battles but nothing major other that what looks liek wear and dirt. the styrafoam is absolutely mint and the box is in rather really good condition (I dont know my codes but I woudl say 8 or 9 of of 10 where 10 being brand new. so of course this toy now resides safely in my posession    my girlfriend, who is the love of my life prior to owning this toy , asked her mom if I could have it. Since her brother probably forgot about these toys what is one less toy   right? Yes, I'm sure he forgot all about them. What a raw deal for the new daddy.
