IIRC this was the only VF-4 released at the time; one of the first garage kits every commercially released - this was the beginning of the end for die cast toys. ~~Not~~ not just the bubbly resin kit, but pewter/lead casting elements too - very unusual, never fully assembled; was $$$ at the time, probably extremely rare should be built by a master who can deal with the imperfections.		- Valkyrie VF-4, Macross Flashback 2012, Musasiya, 1/72nd scale, garage kit.

	- Tetsujin 28, Bandai - perhaps the greatest of all the Godaikin from the early 1980's. I love this toy immensely, it's not in perfect shape but can be setup to be deceiving. ;) I used to hide things in the magnetically closing legs. Such a towering beauty of a toy.		- Tetsujin 28, Bandai - perhaps the greatest of all the Godaikin from the early 1980's.

Of all the toys I love the Takatoku Valkyries the most; these guys are in good shape but need TLC with dust removal and being -very- gentle with their plastic joints that have been sitting on display for almost 20 years)		- VF-1J Miria, Macross, Takatoku, 1/55th scale (this was pretty much the last toy I bought; I had looked for it for over six years by the time I found it at Anime Con in 1991.

Nimitz as a kid; long before Top Gun made the F-14 a plane of choice for many kids, I had already been wanting to become a pilot aboard that crew in order to get as close to being a Valkyrie skull squadron pilot as possible).		- VF-1S, Macross, Takatoku, 1/55th scale (the yellow & black skull VF-1S is perhaps my favourite of all the Valkyries in design; Fokker preferably.

	- VF-1S Super Valkyrie 1990 reissue, Macross, Bandai - this is so inferior to the Takatoku and first Bandai recasts both in quality and even boxart it's a shame to put it on the same shelf. I would say even the US Jetfire transformers recast is better quality. I left the hands out since it seemed it might break if I tried to move them, miraculously I got the gun out of the hand! Handle with care. A Takatoku Super Valkyrie would be far preferable, but high school mate Brian ChanKai probably got the last one in California in the late 1980's.		- VF-1S Super Valkyrie 1990 reissue, Macross, Bandai - this is so inferior to the Takatoku and first Bandai recasts both in quality and even boxart it's a shame to put it on the same shelf.
