whoops that is supposed to be VF-1j not VF-1S ( mods please fix thanks)
Ok so the regular Socal MWers went to F&S. bobepat and i went to TSINC and we saw a Super VF-1S sitting on the counter in box. With postit notes saying
Broken Nose
$120
we did a double take and started fighting over who would buy it. BP had no cash but my brother did. So I won it. Tsinc would take a credit card but woudl charge tax and BP hesitated. Only thing is my brother only had 110 and BP wasnt gonna let me borrow 10 bucks to get it. So i called up Eternal D and asked if I could borrow 10 bucks, he was still parking at tthe time. So I gave TSINC 110 and waited for Eternal D to show up. haha!!!! $120!!!!!
So upon inspection the nose is not broken. I think that teh dealers dont know their product well enough that the nosecone is detachable. Also BP said that some one returned it, probably some newbie who like RT or macross but doenst know the intricasies of Yamato 1/48 and that the nosecone is detachable.
SO . . . I swooped it up for 120.
When i got home i noticed that there are NO ARM ARMOURS!!!!!!!!!
but hey for 120 i am pleased.
Oh this is my only 1/48 since I traded my VF-1S Hikaru a while back. So now I will get teh VF-1S hikaru now that it is being reissued.
Oh and the box was a little dinged up but WHO CARES!!!!!
i put my DYRL fast pack arm armour on.
