Vermillion21 Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Meh. VF-17 > VF-21. I agree with eugimon & Kyp Durron, the correct statement is: VF-11B > VF-21 :lol:
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Pre-ordered mine finally. About $155 usd.
do not disturb Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Pre-ordered mine finally. About $155 usd. the question on everyone mind.... where did you preorder?
eugimon Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 maybe the shipping will be 100 dollars... no seriously, where did you get that deal?
Kyp Durron Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Pre-ordered mine finally. About $155 usd. You're fixing to get flooded with PM's, lol. -Kyp
do not disturb Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 i tried PM'ing him when he posted it but he left without a word. i hope its just joke or i'm gonna be really pissed.
myk Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) Knock knock jokes are funny. That particular post, if it is a joke, is not funny. In any case, $155 is impossible unless there's a seller out there that's dying of cancer or something and wants to stroke MW before he kicks the bucket... Edited January 16, 2008 by myk
Kyp Durron Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I'm wondering if that's $155 without adding the usual $40 shipping to the U.S. from HK.... -Kyp
misterryno Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I'm wondering if that's $155 without adding the usual $40 shipping to the U.S. from HK.... -Kyp I can believe this
Scream Man Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 The HK sellers Ive seen all have it around the 190 mark....
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) I am in Singapore. One of the local shops is selling it at 280sgd but 230sgd on pre-order. So its 155usd. No shipping since its 5 mins drive from my home. *ok I am not so well known around here but I didn't expect you lot to jump at the price mention since there are quite a lot of MWers in Asia.

Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) I actually wanted to wait it out for re-colour or ver2 in order to avoid QC problems. But I was stunned by the 230sgd price and committed on the spot. (I was there to pick up my HMM Genosaurer, not buy Macross stuff). Nearly 20% off retail. Its even cheaper then it sounds (155usd) due to the recent USD drop. 1 year ago, it would translate to about 140usd. Edited January 17, 2008 by Retracting Head Ter Ter

Vermillion21 Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 @Retracting Head Ter Ter - nice price, lucky mate.
Scream Man Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 If I ever go to Singapore, Ill have to get u to show me around bro!
do not disturb Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 and once i again i find myself living in the wrong country.
Nani?! Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 and once i again i find myself living in the wrong country. The US aint so bad~ We save elsewhere (cars, authentic tech products, avg living expenses:avg income). evens out eventually.
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Trust me, the amount you save on a car in the US is enough to cover your toy purchases 100x over. You pay less for gasoline too!
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Even living in Mexico City has its perks: the food is cheap and the gasoline prices are a joke compared to the US's.

Comeon LOS let me get it before these guys Yeah but LOS charges around $20 for shipping in the U.S. making it around $232 shipped. Where Valkyrie-Exchange.com is only $9-13 shipped in the U.S. making for a max total of $208 shipped in the U.S.. Hey, we pay enough for these as is, I need the extra $20+ that I'm saving to put towards the new 1/60 VF-1S Roy that's coming out soon after! -kYP

VF-1S and I told him I would'nt do that to him again.
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 that's weird, it was 230SGD (160USD) last time i looked, i guess he changed it. There was a 50sgd discount for pre-orders. 280 is the standard price, 230 pre-order before mid Jan.
