redfinger61 Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 I just won an auction for this item, it is not a re-cast. I think I may have payed a little much. I know this stuff is all relative, but I am wondering what these origonal kits are going for these days, on average? Ashton Quote
jardann Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) I was watching that auction. I don't think the price went crazy high, but for me, I couldn't bring myself to pay much more than the cost of a Hasegawa Strike kit. But, if you are happy with your purchase, then that's all that matters! Edited August 1, 2007 by jardann Quote
Valk009 Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Well, ever since Hasegawa model kits came out on the market, any stuff previously made with resin has drop in price considerbly. The 1/72 Club-M VF-1 Strike fighter kit goes for roughly $50 - $80 on Yahoo Japan, the last I saw. This depends whether you have the first release, red box or the later release, blue box. The blue box is actually the VF-1 Fast Pack version but later issues used the same box just the wording change by replacing it with a sticker. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 haha! I was watching that auction too just to see how much it would go for I think it's a reasonable price for a yellow submarine resin kit... good details, but sadly the Hasegawa got it beat by price... but you can say you have 60+ strike valkyrie rather than 20 buck plastic one, ghaha Quote

Well w/ shipping the price comes to about 70$ so I guess I am right at the average.....I am actually looking orward to this kit, although I do have the Has strike, I think this will be fun to build, I may end up doing my custom WWII paint job on the Has, and the Skull one on the Club-M one....or vise versa, we will see what happens..
