Agent-GHQ

Now I have to punish you my apprentice! JCSave, I would suggest you get the Toynami version. I think you can get one for like $150 shipped if you have good negotiation skillz!

And you should turn off that interweb jerk-douchebag impression! Yamato has been around much longer than the Beagle though. Their strategy was a bit poor here.

Your poor observation is quite disturbing! You do realized that the Beagle came out right around the time when the economy took a nose dive. We have learned that the person in charge of this operation left the company to pursue other interest. However, I suspect if Beagle introduce Fuke or Blowsuperior prior to Ley, Beagle might have survived. The point is, Yamato makes some bad-ass toys and they have funds to revibe the Beagle.

Holy be Jesus.............................. Man, if Yamato and Bandai (reissue) did not make any Macross toys, I wonder how much people are willing to dish out for those vintage?

What set are you talking about? The title says VF-1S Roy rumor! Are you telling me the MnM by Takatoku set does not exist?

I smell a herd of cash-cow should Yamato takes over Beagle. We freakin want the Fuke and Blowspeeior!! Can you just imagine if Yamato get the Mospeada license???

Not the amphibous... But we got your humor here!

I'm fearful of taking my valks outside in the sun due to oxidation!

You'll have a higher chance of seeing that MnM gift set than getting zap by Zeus lighting bolt. Welcome back Kanata67! What the heck have you been up too guy?

I wouldn't say its silly to have it AFAed. We are dealing with a MISB VE-1 here and I have never seen one that is SEALED until the OP drops this thread (assuming his claim is true). I can see it AFAed for the die-hardcore collector and fan who use this as a display purpose or probably lease it to Bandai's museum. At least we know the conditioned will be preserved when AFAed. Speaking of AFAed, I had mine Transformers Optimus Prime MISB '84 U.S. AFAed and scored a 90. I intended to keep this for many years to come. Until an offer of $8,500- was too much to pass up!

He's already aware of the Yamato 1/60. His interest was in the vintage 1/55. Btw, is that a Sikrosky MH-60 Sierra?

Why not ask the seller to go lower and offer him the price you are willing to pay? Otherwise, link me the seller's info and I'll negotiate on your behalf.

I don't think the OP is gonna take our advices in our area of speciality JCSaves?!

Ahhh come on man! I'm just gonna drop a "G" on a MISB and open it so I can restore my childhood. Not with all these Macross toys saturated and so many options. It was well worth the "G" before Yamato took over and the released 1/55. Based on what brah?? Hmmm...... no set in stone price. Varies on the buyer(s) and what they are willing to pay! Prices has dipped. So has the Takatoku 1/55. Even a MIB unused VF-1S Strike Valk struggles to sell at approx. $300 bucks.

That would look horrible! Much like a tatted out person that mutilated their body.

Any bad guys would be nice!

Where exactly is this shop: city, state, number... and the name of this shop?? The seller is asking $1,000 bucks for a MISB, but no one is willing to pay that kind of money for it. Especially, in this economic down turn. Aside from its rarity and its asking price, casual fans are most likely to dish out a near $200 bucks for a detailed 1/60 VE-1 Yamato. I'd would give the seller your offer and wait for a counter-offer.

Do you have pics or a link to this VE-1 you're talking about? As per your questions and concerns, obviously with the released of the VE-1 and VT-1 version 2 has affected the value of the vintage 1/55 VE-1. Not only that, but a flood of Macross goodies which are far superior than the 1/55 in terms of articulations, anime line art, accessories, tampo, countless features, price, etc... Even if you want it to be AFAed, I don't think you'll get your money back at all. Unless its for personal collection where you want to put it up like a shrine, sure. Personally, for MISB VE-1 I would probably willing to pay about $600-700 bucks. But that's just me.

The movie it just not gonna happen man! I don't think Paramount wants to get sued by Bigwest!!

According to MW member "Save" he stated that the person in charge of this operation left Beagle. Its a few threads back.

This is how I feel when I learned about the Rook and Yellow 1/10 being scrapped by Beagle. Enjoy the song while you drool over Rook!!

I'm disappointed with what you did to your Valk RusskiAussie...

More 1/55 talk and pics, NOT freakin old school VHS!
