I have to make a confession here: I never liked the show but I truly loved the VF's.

I've been meaning to get one recently, but there are so many, and so expensive its hard to actually decide on one. I had a couple pre-ordered on BBTs a couple years ago, but the pre-ordered never arrived. they kept changing arrival dates until I canceled them.

I don't believe they ever arrived, and now BBTS's Macross section seems to have thinned out considerably.

The closest I have to owning a VF was the Happywell Variable fighter KO. which isn't actually all that bad. Mostly silver and gray, he's actually pretty tall, and features some die cast joints.

BBTS had a monster sale, something like 40% off all imported Macross stuff. I found out a few hours too late to order my much desired VF-1J Milia custom valk...

Never new that. I was looking at the 1/55 VF-1S with super and strike Parts for a while hoping it would go on sale, but it never did. Now there's only a couple of Revoltech Valks there.

http://www.angolz.com/store/ has a pretty good selection at fair prices if you wanna check them out!

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I've been contemplating pre-ordering the Bandai Chogokin DX Konig Monster. Anyone else planning on getting this badboy?

Thanks guys. I spent years building planes and sf kits, but I'm more into customizing TFs now, luckily the skills serve me in both.

Konig Monster you say? That's awesome, I always wanted one... *checks BBTS* SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS! $240?! That's way out of my range!

There is a non "SP" version for around 200, if you dont care about getting the display stand and a Sheryl "monster girl" decal on the nose. My only complaint is that it is 1/100 scale, so It will look silly next to my VF-25s and VF-27.

I have the whole series on DVD, Macross Plus, and used to own a couple of the 80's movies on DVD.
toys, I have to admit I don't have that many, a superdeformed Valkyrie, gerwalker mode action figure I ended up giving to my brother (a more rabid Macross fan) and some mini Lisa in a swimsuit figure that came out of a machine somewhere's. I love the series, just never really collcted many of the toys, my collecion tends to be more TF's Gundmns, Evangelion figures, and a shrine of Cammy White figures to chase away any girlfriends

My brother though, he's got tons of valkyries, a scale model of the SDF Macross itself, DVD's comics, etc etc

I'm a huge fan of Robotech/Macross. Somewhere on here is a rather large thread that got closed a few years ago that has a ton of pics from mine and a few others collections. I've had to scale back considerably on my Valkyrie buying due to cost and space but I will be getting one of those 1/100 Hi-Metal figures. BBTS was forced by Harmony Gold to drop any non Toynami Macross toys due to copyright issues, and that Bandai's and Yamamoto's figures were out selling anything Toynami put out.

Yeah, that was such a shame. At least buying from out of country is usually cheaper anyway...
