Container 003:

- VT-1S Super Ostrich, Macross, Bandai, 1/55th scale (putting this back in the box reminded me of how fragile the armor is, particular the tabs to mount on arms, I've seen countless versions broken.  Also the gun is hard to remove from the hand on the Bandai's, the 1990's collectors edition recast is the worst - I doubt I'll ever remove the gun from it without breaking the plastic)
- VE-1, Elintseeker, Macross, Bandai, 1/55th scale (there's a toy shop in alameda that has just the battroid, might be cheap - I hear these in box were going upwards of $1000-$1500 during the dot com era; trivia - this was the last one for sale at Mikado when I bought it, apparently someone had called to reserve it from out of state but Nakamura-san took pity on me and sold it to me as it was my yearly birthday visit.  He did mark it up $10 iirc.  It was also missing the cockpit blast cover however; I traded my friend Eddie Arent a kellogs/rice crispies bundle in prototype of the new enterprise from star trek the next generation that my aunt (then VP of marketing at Paramount) had given me with a ton of other schwag.  In retrospect that prototype probably could've been sold to some star trek geeks for more than the cost of an entire VE-1 set, but whatever it was well worth the trade in my opinion then, and now).  Will need lots of dusting and TLC to assemble and disassemble very fragile.

Container 005:

Things start to get tricky here.

- Combattler - I think mostly intact; I can't tell you how many days I would run home from school hoping the toy shop had called to say they got this in as I was a big Shogun Warriors fan (the US comic was one of the only things I could find at the time in the early 80's and Combattler was the only of the original Godaikin released in the US that was in the US comic).  Sadly my mom made me destroy all the boxes when we moved save for the VF-1S one I couldn't bear to lose.
- Various Dougram & Soltic boxes
- Various parts from Dorvak Mugen 1/55th scale, Walther P-38 UNCLE megatron, Spiral Zone, etc.  if you need help sorting these later let me know.
- Movetic assembled kits
- Strange Gerwalk Ishkick white box all English (perhaps some weird counterfeit, never saw anything else even remotely close to it though).

Container 006:

- Saturn Bit, Zero Section Named Constable, Takara - boxes
- Zoids box
- VF-1A, Macross, Takatoku, 1/55 scale
- VF-1J Max, Macross, Takatoku, 1/55th scale 
- 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.  Within the first 15 minutes i was writing a check for $425.  5 minutes later I was kicking myself for another booth was selling a sealed mint in box one for $500; I realized then that this wasn't collecting toys anymore it was collecting art I could no longer afford.  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)

Container 007:
- Gundam F91 super model box (more toy than model), Gundam, Bandai, 1/60th scale - box
- Changerobo, Bandai - box
- Battroid Valkyrie VF-1J Hikaru Ichijyo, Macross, Takatoku, 1/55th scale - gun must be floating around elsewhere, this was in the Armored Valkyrie Armor on display until just now.
- Change Robot
