First the tail fin on the VT-1 folds differently then on a VF-1 A/D/J/S which means they are also smaller! Since the VT-1 is not a real aircraft I don't have a problem with it since there is nothing really to compare it with! Since D.Y.R.L was drawn by hand variations in size should be acceptable! I'm happy with the way the VT-1 turned out, accept for the discrepancies mentioned above...😉

I see now, thanks 👍 

Can someone explain the tailfin thing on the VT-1 and what's wrong with it?  I don't have one yet and don't have a frame of reference.

Smooth transaction with @rice_1204 couldn't ask for anything more!  

If they had made supers for the 31A I would be more inclined to keep mine instead of trying to sell it

Whoa. I bet those aftermarket prices will start dropping fast.

Yeah unless you get slapped with tariffs.  Then it's not so cheap

I feel like overall it just isn't worth buying anything from overseas right now.  We're all just getting fleeced.  It sucks for the companies making this stuff and more for the collecting communities.

There is some good news the appeals court has ruled in against the tariffs but will not take any actions until mid-October as it is expected this eventually go to the Supreme Court. Maybe hold off those imports until then? I do wonder what would happen if things were overturned. Tariffs collected would have to be returned. I hope everyone saved all their invoices on tariffs paid so far. 

👍

That's looking very nice.

Great transaction with @leeboo1211.  Quick payment.  Would happily do future transactions with them.

Awesome thanks!

It sounds like it'll work fine.  

Well when I'm able to get a DX VF-1D I plan to try a super pack set and hopefully it works.

Good to know.  Thanks for the info guys, appreciate it!

Cool thanks!

Apologies if this question has already been addressed.  Do the Super pack sets for the Bandai DX VF-1 Valks fit on the VF-1D as well?

They did some re-releases if those years back.  Those would probably be a good, cheap option for you.  I sometimes see them on the Facebook Macross BuySellTrade group.

Seems like there are pros and cons to each version.  

Not sure if it's ok to post this question here but it is kinda pose related.   Would the old Yamato stands with the different adapters that came with them work with the newer Arcadia Valks. the Macross Zero specifically?  I've got one of the chrome/silver ones and wondered if it was worth keeping if it can't be used on those valks.

What's the general consensus on which is better?  Renewal or Revival?  I have renewals of the VF-25S and 25F.  I have the fast pack sets for them too.  Wasn't sure if it was worth buying the new 25F set with everything included unless it was made better.  

I've seen the armor sets go for between $150-$200

Smooth transition with @blackconvoy_D01. Pleasure to deal with and I highly recommend them!

@ValkAddictThank you for a smooth transition as well!  Would gladly do a transaction again in the future!

Only one has sold on YJA within the last 6 months....

Can't read the description but I imagine being that cheap it was used, maybe not even in good shape 

Anyone know what a Yamato 1/60 VF1S Low Vis factory sealed goes for these days?

They're secure on my copies.

 

Nope. I just detached the entire arm and then was easily able to access the screw under the shoulder pauldrons to loosen it.

Side by side with the Bandai version. While Bandai's toy is excellent, it's really a VF-19 Advance posing as a YF-19. 

Nice.  Hopefully I am able to get one some day so that if I have to adjust the joints it'll be easy.
