Yea, man... I'm pretty "hardcore" when it comes to mecha series and collecting and have a good amount of stuff at this point.

And thank you, man. I appreciate the kind words as well as your photography.

I'm going to say eff you for this simply BECAUSE searching for these rare-assed things brought up almost nothing but WHAM albums for months. Like... Christ; you wouldn't believe how many listing there are for those records. :lol

The full breakdown and gallery article for the Yamato 1/24 AV-98 1 (Ingram Unit 1) is up on site. Link in sig.



Article Summary; I gave this one beyond a 10 even because honestly Just perfect from the box, to the packaging, to every millimeter of the figure itself. It's insane to me that something a decade old at this point is above and beyond something that can be used as a standard bearer for today's mecha collectibles. It's mind boggling to me to hear stories from those collecting back then that this was passed on to the point where it went on sale for significant markdowns when looking at the MSRP it was actually quite a deal at full price for what you get (compare this at 23k JPY to something like the Getter Devolution Getter 1 from Sentinel at 26k; no contest.) Truly a once-in-a-lifetime piece and I can't think of a real argument for against anyone calling it the G.O.A.T. in terms of mecha collectibles.
