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.

Yea we had a great thread going on, I believe we had over 100 pages (mostly due to very heavy pic content). I have always been a fan of Robotech, and then got into the Macross world once I learned of it's exsistance. I haven't collected any Macross Valks since 2008 or 2009 (got too expensive to do Transformers and Macross). My collection is as fallows.

How do you feel about me taking your Millia VF-1J off your hands for ya?

Which one? I have 5 different ones. Miria was always my fav character, it might have to do with red being my fav color but it also might have to do with her being hot.

I almost broke down a year or so ago to buy the Miria VF-22 from Macross Seven, but alas I didn't because I promised the wife I wouldn't get back into Macross.

I've nearly broken down several times this week and ordered a VF-22 haha. Now I just need her red VF-17 to come out and us Millia fans will be set!

I really want to get all of her vehicles in 1/60. Though, so far all I have is her Queadluun Rau.

Yea I had several opportunities to purchase one of her Quead's, but for some reason I never pulled the trigger on it. Nothing beats that 1/48th Super VF-1J, I am also kicking myself for never getting the new 1/60th version when they came out with it. I have the older 2002ish 1/60th version but it is just not the same......

I was lucky enough to get mine for 32.00 bucks USD. At that price, it's a great toy.

I'm dying to get my hands on the Yamato V2 1J Millia, but they are pretty hard to find now a days.I'm tempted to go for the 1/48, but I'm a stickler for scale and like to have all my 'ducks in a row'.

Yea scale can be a big thing when you have them all lined up, I like the bigger 1/48th and Plus and Zero 1/60th. That's why I kind of regret getting the mostly metal 1/72nd Yamato releases for Macross Plus, although the VF-11B was a really good release. The YF-21 however was a big BIG disappointment. They had the first release where the top looked good but the bottom was really chunky to accommodate the legs. Then they came out with a better more sleeker fast pack version which was way less chunky. But with both of the figures it couldn't stand worth anything in Gerwalk mode which is my fav mode.

For the new Macross Frontier figures by Bandai, I stayed away from them because I didn't know how they were going to size up with the rest of the Yamato stuff I had.

Pretty good dude! I have been on kind of a big hiatus since really Oct 2008. My fiance and I ended up moving back to Albuquerque from Seattle in 2009. We bought a house last June and also got married in October. Going to Botcon 2011 kind of "resparked" Transformers and the forums for me, and so here I am! Other than that just doing a ton of work, how about yourself?

I've been doing good. With the exception of the Hi-Metal VF-1S Strike I'm "Done" with Macross as I literally have all the Valks I want. I think I even have the YF-21 you were talking about but never opened it.
