Yeah, owning an anime store (www.tamarket.com.au *plug* *plug*) means that all of these things pass through my hands at some stage ^^;;

That one is actually the most plasticky looking of them all, in my opinion...the first one they released had the most metal content and really looked solid, but unfortunately because of all the metal the centre of gravity was a bit out of whack and it tended to fall over ^^;

That VF-11 looks really appealing Tamachan :)

Well I have the VF-11b from the start of Macross Plus and as I have said many times before, be REALLY sure that you want it before you fork out the price for it cause I can assure you that it's not all that crash hot for it's price. It's more worth it IMO for you to track down the old 1/72 scale Bandai model for 1/3 of that price and make the thing yourself (at a slightly smaller scale).

The tranformation for the VF-11b is an absolute nightmare and the way it's made makes you scared to really transform it cause it makes you really push and rotate seemingly fragile joints (i've sanpped the leg before and my eyes almost fell out! But I fixed it). Let's just say I was a little disappointed at the product....

I would still love to get the YF-19 but it's prices are usually jacked up anyway due to the fact that everyone wants it.

Say, have any of you guys come across the Macross 7 figs and what are they like in terms of quality? I seen two different versions can anyone tell me the difference? They're sold either as a robot in the box or as a plane in the box (something tells me that the robot in the box is a wonky product... well, looks like one though)

Them VF-1 are too expensive. I went to a store in TO and they were going at $120 CDN, more than I'm willing to shell out for a transformer.
