MACROSS SDF-1 1/5000 SCALE DIE-CAST MODEL

Macross or Robotech in the US was one of my favorite anime-toons when I was a teen. Last week in Johor Bahru, in a local night market, I stumbled upon a die-cast Macross SDF-1 model figure. I got it for RM15 only! I checked the internet for info on this figure and found out that a mint-in-box figure is selling for USD440.00!!! This is actually from the W.A.V.E 1/5000 scale version of the SDF-1 ship. The original comes with a display base and it's transformable!

Mine is just the figure and two of the antennas were broken during transportation. Managed to glued back one. Overall it's a very nice figure but can be easily broken because of the small antennas. I've checked YouTube for the transformation...it's pretty complicated. So I'll display it as it is ...for now..

Vintage ROTJ Speeder Bike

I got this from the flea market yesterday. I wanted this for some time but was hesitant to buy from eBay due to exorbitant shipping charges. This set is complete with tray, instructions and a C6 box. Initially didn't wanted to buy because I thought one of the brake flaps was broken, but upon closer inspection, it was just unhook and can be fixed easily. After fixing, it works perfectly. What's missing in this set is the toy catalog. The bike is nice and clean and is working perfectly.

The Speeder Bike Gimmick: When the speeder is on the ground, the brake flaps are closed. When the speeder is "flying", the brake flaps automatically pops up to reveal engines. The T-Bar that holds the Biker Scout is actually spring loaded, to keep the Biker in place. Underneath the speeder is a "Laser Gun" that rotates. Finally, when the knapsack is pressed, the speeder explodes to 3 pieces.

Hasbro re-issued this in 1995 under POTF2 that comes together with the Biker Scout. I m not sure if the re-issued version has been retooled but it was definetly repainted. This vintage speeder in box is selling in Ebay for USD40-80, depending on condition.
