Presenting the Super Dimension Fortress 1 aka Macross...... from Wave


Out of the box...




Firing Main Cannons.....


Closeup of the command bridge




Report, the model is really very detailed with a lot of small thin spiny antennae sticking out here and there making it a rather fiddly toy. Some plastic parts are really thin e.g. the part that holds the arms to the body... I almost broke a few pieces off during the transformation process. Luckily nothing was broken. I like it, but it could have been a little bigger....

Mr.Focker's transportation of choice...


And now meet the rainbow colour family of Macross, from left to right... Max, Hayao, SDF1, Roy and Hikaru... I love em to bits.


I also got the Super and Strike parts.... very nice gimmicks

Jason

haha, I love my rainbow battroid family too...

I have not gotten the Hikaru VF1J, the Hikaru VF1S is still misb


Hmmm... d VF19 is nice, How much at TM?

Jason

Welcome to the Macross thread. I agree wholeheatedly that Macross is right up there among the best anime on the planet. We have the same toys in our collection except I don't have the VF-1S 25th Ani Ver.

Here is my Macross Zero collection...


My fave hero from Macross Zero... Shin's ride with the Ghost Booster....




Fokker's VF-0S, didn't get him a Ghost Booster, I guess he will have to share with Shin


Presenting the Good Guys.... well depending on your point of view.



Ivanov's SV-51, one mean looking machine


And his mate's (literally) SV-51


Teacher and student faceoff...



Nora and Shin faceoff...



All together now.....

Aiya not richlah. Every month put aside some marney into the Macross fund, dun go out party. Lama-lama jadi bukit.....

Jason

Morning spam... size comparison between 1/60 VF-0S and 1/48 VF-1S
Clearly looking at the sze of the figure and the sze of the cockpit, the VF-0S is a massive machine

Try to be there if time permit, got doctor's appointment in da morning.....

Jason

Very nice collection of valkyrie's, u have a nice selection of figures too. Good stuff.

Jason

I sent u a PM about this. Basically I am selling this version of the SDF1 or the repaint movie version that will be out soon, somtime this month.

Its not whitelar, just a slightly diff shade of gray, white is on fokker's VF-0S. There are parts on the body in the sam shade of gray too. I like them man, wanna creat the battle scenes from da movie.....

Jason

On one hand you can get teacher and student sparring...

On the other hand you can pair the lovers together...

Either way you won't go wrong. But I think since u got SV-51 Ivanov, then get the VF0S, afterall Nora is from the same mold as the Ivanov.

Jason

I heard that there will be a Macross Idol.... Lynn Minmay performing at the 25th aniversary..... can anyone confirm? I will try to attend, see any goodies to pick up.....

Macross Zero...4 leaf clover.....


Jason

ps- even thought the leg hinges are all die cast, they are still very fiddly during the transformation process. But once you clip it into the nose cone, its ok.

Very nice size comparison between the VF-1S and VF0S. The 1/60 must remove the legs during transformation right?
Jason

If you guys see the Kakizaki Valkyrie on display there.... its mine

See u there, apparently Minmay appearing there is a Taylor's College cutie

Jason

1/60 scale although cheaper means a smaller figure. I guess for those who want a consistant scale in their collection will rejoice so that can match up with the Yamato VF0s and some of the older Bandai or Yamato toys. As for myself I can't seem to see the attraction in a smaller toy that except for Yamato wanting to increase its revenue... after satiating the market for 1/48 sales, now they are going for 1/60 sales.

But then I am all for more affordable toys so that everyone from any income bracket can enjoy more.

Thankfully, I have almost completed my 1/48 VF1s, there are 3 more that I wanna get, funds willing, by Feb/Mar'08.... after that wait for YF21 I am not a completist by any means, but these figures are just so nice... beh tahanlah.

Now a thought.... how about the 1/48 or 1/60 scale Monster...... now that would be really awesome. Would be double the size of this one!!!









Jason

Yamato very klever... I wanna buy their shares, are thye listed ah?

Jason

ps - I will be at the 25th Aniversary convention at about 11am... who else?

Oh nooooo, this thread is being invaded by the spammers from the TF thread!!!

Welcome all to Macross figure collecting. Once you start, kennot stop.

I dunno if I saw any of you guys there, I was there early... left before 12pm. Was at boyarque's stall for a while then cabut. It was a nice convention though.

Jason

Aiya, obviously not refering to youlah. First page oledi u spam 4-5 posts. You taiko in collectibles!!

Jason

There is no way I can be a taiko, just collect blindly with my heart, my stuff mainly recolours from the same mold. There are many smart collectors that are the real taiko.


It would have been great if we could have met, sorry that I did not look you up. There was not enough display tables and cabinets, my Kakizaki also did not make it out of the box.

The YF-21 is great, I have ordered mine already. Need to have someone to keep the YF-19 company.


Truthfully, I am not sure. But I do remember the ebay one that halfeng found on ebay was going for RM260. I guess in the end you gotta decide if its worthit for urself. Good luck.

Jason

Where is my Macross Plus VCD... I gonna watch again. Concept for the YF21 is so intriguing!!

Added on January 29, 2008, 12:51 pmActually I find many piple collect very rationally, probably because of budget constraints... Only one figure from one mold, no recolours and even then for main characters only. Unlike me 1S got 3, 1J got 2, 1S got 2, 0S got 2, SV-51 got 2, SDF1 got 2..... not trying to show off, but when I look at it, I wish I could be more rational with the my Macross collection. Sometimes I think the money can be better spent for my other collections... but beh tahan.

Ok deal... as soon as I lose interest in Macross I sell to you at half price. But u gonna have to wait a little bit... like forever


On Another Note:

Bandai is coming back to offer Macross model kits, I just ordered the  1/100 VF-19 Kai Fire Valkyrie, 1/100 Glaug, 1/144 Nousjadeul-Ger and 1/144 Queadluun-Rau. Not only are they cheaper than Hasegawa, they are also smaller so I can save space... display cabinets are filling up at an alarming rate!!! 

I hope that ARII will come back to offer the Zentradi battleship model kits, if note I hope Bandai will ofer them in the future.

Someone ask if the YF-21 come with fold booster.... it dun have an external fold booster like d YF-19.

Jason

Its ¥2,000 oni, I am ordering a few, send me PM if anyone is interested. Should be very affordable! Can view what's on offer here.


Yep... I can still remember the first time I see the valkyrie transform from fighter mode to gerwalk mode during the initial invasion by the Zentradi on Macross Island, where they were fighting in the streets of Macross. I was still in school uniform, went to my cousin's house and watch it on video. Diden understand half the story then, coz concept was a little too deep.
