The so-called Item B - Minor dirt or "DAMAGED IS VISIBLE" is what's worrying me. Really wish they would just be upfront and say or show the Damage if there is any instead of playing the guessing game. @betsuni That's why you surpised her with a puppy or kitten from the adoption center! Lol
Hahahaha we already have a dog, she's senior and we just don't want to go through training right now. Nah, she is good with my buying anything I want. I just have to keep myself in check and use her as an excuse. But yeah I blindsided her today by not telling her about my spending spree lately. As she jokingly said, "I guess you have been slowing down. There is not a package a day."
Glad that you guys caught the error on my part as I wasn't even double checking afterwards and not going to amend the original post. Then what are you going to explain to your sweetie when the mother load of the Macross goodies start to trickle in at the last minute?? Edit: I believe that the HMR VF-1j with the GBP is still up for grabs on Manda for less than 20k yen (with box in heavily damaged condition, everything present).
Well lol nice knowing you while it lasted If it had to be 1 or the other I think you’ll be plenty happy with the Arcadia. The GPB armor is integrated very well, solid and not prone to coming apart at all and despite the bulk, most of the articulation isn’t hindered.
I'm the same way, I've been off these forums for years after my last wave, and now I'm back buying a bunch of valks and loving macross, could be due to me freaking out about starting law school all summer long (tomorrows the big day) but at least these valks are making me happy hahahah!!
Yuuup. I was just accused of sandbagging orders by keeping them boxed in storage and slowly displaying. I was like no I’m not hiding anything. Just takes time to unbox and display. But my wife isn’t a creative. And I would contend that most of us collectors are in some form or fashion - even if it is just someone who celebrates the arts (music, movies, etc.) Like most of you probably don’t just watch a movie. You watch a movie and track the story and character development or cinematography. Or break down a song, instruments, etc.
Hahaha. Hmm that gives me a whole lot more to think of. I do enjoy playing with my toys so if the Arcadia will be more solid I'll probably stick with my pre-order. So many decisions.... Actually my wife has more creativity than me. She creates lots of jewelry ideas and keeps on coming up with more ideas. She's now playing with our 3D printer to do some more ideas. I'm amazed by the creative process and how people can just come up with something out of nothing.
Funny enough, I took a history course in college that had to do with assessing the cinematography of Japanese cinema from a historical standpoint, and for my presentation of course I selected 80s bubble era expensive productions, such as DYRL. I guess us collectors do tend to do stuff like that!!
Both still available if anyone is interested. $350 each shipped in US. Yamato VF-19p Arcadia VF-0D Phoenix I'm pretty sure I haven't transformed the 19p, but could have been transformed just once. I've barely touched the 0D. Just took it out once to look at the plane mode and put the pilots in the cockpit. If anyone has an extra Bandai DX VF-1J, would be willing to trade.
@magick a lot of potential buyers would probably want to know if the 0D’s leg is attached. They had a shocking habit of falling right off of the thing as soon as you tried to transform it.
Yeah, not really mine either but I came across some stuff while browsing Manda. I thought some of it looked pretty good.
I'm pretty sure there were some members here who collected them. Right now I can't remember who, but I remember photos of them in their collection.
