If I remember correctly, the original Orbit store in San Gabriel before it opened the walnut branch had a YF-19 for the same price (or maybe these are the same toys I had been seeing at the store before I left for university :lol: ).

The YF-21 used to be up there too, although I think it was a slight bit cheaper. I think it used to cost something like $699.99.

It's a shame. Some of the guys that worked at the San Gabriel store, before I stopped going there, were really nice. Some of them were kind of dumb, but at least they never tried to bullshit me and rip me off. It's sad when things change for the worse... :(

If they're still open and didn't get butt-raped by Bandai for selling bootlegs at AX, Kawaii Anime on Colorado Blvd, across from Pasadena City College, still had a VF-19A Excalibur for something like $399.99 I think. :ph34r:

I recently bought a YF-21 for SD80.00 in Singapore. And the shopowner was quite freindly as well. ;)

WHERE in Singapore was that Vanpang???

:( Ah man! Mandarake was so cool! But the one I went to was in Torrance before they moved to Santa Monica... Bad move on their part, when I got to speak to a mandarake representative at a convention after the Santa Monica store closed down, I was told it was because they set up in a bad location and didn't get enough business.

They were so cool! I got some pretty cool cells for cheap!

*sigh* good old times... :(
