dad of twin boys Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 Anyone see the Max VF-1S and Low Viz VF-1S on ebay. Nice head swaps. Just type in "yamato macross" in the search function. Quote
promethuem5 Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 Not to rag on ya mate, but we have a forum section for auctions Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 can a mod move this to the wanted section or auction section? Quote

dad of twin boys Posted May 3, 2005 Author Posted May 3, 2005 but he joined on December 03 kind of late for welcomes? Yeah yeah I do not post much cause I DO NOT VISIT HERE THAT MUCH. Thanks for the welcome though . Quote
Eternal_D Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 damn, that LV is missing a piece(either means it's been played with a lot, taken apart, or came like that from the factory)...and it's still going for $325?? Quote
promethuem5 Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 Nani- lol, I really didn't mind, didnt mean to come off too harsh, I was just surprised to have beaten Fort Max to it as he usually gets a hard on as soon as an OT psot is made Wlcome aboard mate! Quote
jenius Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 Uh, that doesn't look like a true LV at all. The paint job is missing the weathering... Quote
EXO Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 Uh, that doesn't look like a true LV at all. The paint job is missing the weathering... yeah, it's in the description... A lot of us removed that ugly weathering. Quote
zeo-mare Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 (edited) would'nt the value be worth less without the weathering? also what does it do just rub off? chris Edited May 3, 2005 by zeo-mare Quote
EXO Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 What is a fair price for a mint LV anyway ? there isn't one... would'nt the value be worth less without the weathering? Well if it's less, plus the fact that's the head has been removed... not to mention the missing part, I wonder how much a mint one will go for now. Quote
Die, Alien Scum! Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 would'nt the value be worth less without the weathering? also what does it do just rub off?chris That's what I was thinking, not to mention that it was missing a piece. Even with a recast head and hands, I still wouldn't consider it to be worth as much as it sold for. And I definitely wouldn't think of it as a collector's item anymore. Also, the weathering on the Low-Viz comes off easily. The seller used "Goo Gone" to remove it, but I've heard you can just rub it off by hand. This is why I don't really handle my Low-Viz valks much.

zeo-mare Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 thats what i had heard that you can practically rub the weathering off. chris Quote
yman1437 Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 (edited) What is a fair price for a mint LV anyway ? shouldn't people consider other's feeling before they post a question? Edited May 3, 2005 by yman1437 Quote
do not disturb Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 if the auction says MINT, its probably a lie. if you touch the weathering on the LV, it'll leave a finger print or rub off. i have 3 and all but one was actually MINT and thats the one i bought at the store when it first came out. the other 2 i got, sellers claimed it was MINT but of course they weren't.

jenius Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 I don't get it, if you take off the weathering there's nothing "low vis" about this valk and I don't see it as having nearly the collectibility. True, a lot of folks don't like the weathering and remove it, and a lot of people don't mind and buy it anyway, but I think at that point you ought to consider it a "custom" and no longer a "limited edition." All the 1/48s or sweet none-the less. Quote
