bigspender Posted August 15, 2007 Author Posted August 15, 2007 got mine for 160€ (215$) S&H incuded at HLJ Any good places to buy in the US? Quote
do not disturb Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) Any good places to buy in the US? if you're looking to buy from a US vendor its going to cost you more than $215 shipped. try toy-wave.com or HLJ.com while they might be overseas, you'll end up saving a little loot. BTW, just wondering why a dude named bigspender is being such a cheapskate? Edited August 15, 2007 by do not disturb Quote
scand Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Crap that ones like $230!!!!!!!!! There are no regular fighters with the fixes? Ok, Big Spender?? J/K but you laid it out there. The only safe bet is to get the 19/FP/Booster Combo. Your not going to be able to get the 19 for less than 170 anyway. The FP and booster is worth it. For US retailers check out tmpanime.com or bigbadtoystore.com Quote
doodler7 Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Is there something wrong with the first issues of the 1/60 YF-19? What problems are arising? Quote
do not disturb Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) Is there something wrong with the first issues of the 1/60 YF-19? What problems are arising? it was minimal at best. the big complaint was the crooked gunpod, then there were those who complained about the neck section being too tight. the only thing i know they fixed(according to MW'ers) is the gunpod. added: almost forgot, the rear landing gears did not cant outwards. all you had to do was pull them so they did, not really a problem.

sqidd Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 I have purchased almost all of my new Yamoto stuff from this guy in New York. The prices are good, shippings fast, etc, etc, etc. I have at least 10 transactions with this seller and they were all as smooth as silk. YF-19 with booster for $190 on eBay Tell him departmentofsuspension sent you. Quote
jenius Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 That's someone in HK who wants $65 for shipping!!! I'm guessing you copied the wrong link.. Quote
do not disturb Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 That's someone in HK who wants $65 for shipping!!! I'm guessing you copied the wrong link.. nah, some of the items hes selling are in HK(i.e. the yf-19 that he wants too much money for) and some of it is in NY.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...s_promot_widget Quote
sqidd Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 That's someone in HK who wants $65 for shipping!!! I'm guessing you copied the wrong link.. I never noticed that. I just went through the sellers list of items and it looks like they have two locations. The stuff out of NY is more expensive than the stuff out of HK but the shipping evens them out. That makes sense, they are paying duty to get them into the US. I have not been paying a ton of attention to where the stuff I am buying is coming from, but it gets here fast and I know I have seen NY on some of the return labels. I certainly know I didn't ever pay $45-65 in shipping. I have no answer. I have purchsed way too much stuff for it to be any kind of scam. It's not like they are waiting till I buy 15 things and then screw me. Maybe I just lucked out the few times I purchased something through eBay and got the cheap ones out of NY. 75% of the stuff I have purchased through them has been off eBay. I just tell them what I want, they send me an invoice, I pay, toys show up. I just went back and forth with them a few times today about getting 4 1/48's in a package and they have been more than fair with the "bulk" pricing. I am just figuring out exactly what I am going to get still. I'm sure the board has done it before, but if there was a super popular toy released (like a YF-21) we could do a group buy and save tons of $$ with the right seller. There is always someone willing to drop their pants all the way for a big order. Quote
NoSuchFile Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Got mine from ebay, was 45$ for shipping, still the thing costed me 220$ CAD a lot less than I would have gotten it if I would have bought it from a store in the US Quote
Scream Man Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 19 with FPs is a solid buy though. Great toy, cool accessories. Worth every cent. Quote
Wicked Ace Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Is there something wrong with the first issues of the 1/60 YF-19? What problems are arising? Do not disturbist hit the big ones, but I suggest reading this thread in it's entirety -- it not only spells out the problems and fixes (with pics), but it also has some pretty cool detail-enhancing mods members have posted up.

Nani?! Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Well my wife is getting in my butt for buying a toy for 140 bucks. We got it but she's trippin yea... I get on my own butt for paying $140 for some of the stuff Yamato... My girl~~ pish.... I tell her my yf-19 costs me $89 and she still thinks I'm nuts. It's strange though... she thinks my HT Ed 209 and Flight Pack Robo are awesome and I told her it was $190 & $140 each. Quote

It's cause she doesn't know where the're from. My girl loves my old (beat up) Voltron I grabbed at a garage sale, but doesn't give my meticulously built and painted Armored Core models a second glance. Same thing for Gundams, Valks ect. But show her a He-Man doll and she gets all wobbley. Sheesh Edited August 16, 2007 by Busted VF1A Quote

Macross007 Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Shipping 65 I thought he was in New York. I'm just gonna have to buy my wife a toy I really want this thing. 65$ for the shipping is a little excessive in my opinion. I bought a YF-19 two weeks ago on Ebay for 165$. Hopefully, I'm getting it this week. I hope ... Quote
badboy00z Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Maybe the 25th anniversary edition is fixed. Quote
Wurz Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 just ordered one from LAFtoys they got a sale going on so I couldn't resist buying the 19 with the fast pack... After reading all the comments from everyone on this thread I'm hoping to that I made the right choice. XD Quote

After reading all the comments from everyone on this thread I'm hoping to that I made the right choice. XD that's the one to get. The gunpod isn't crooked. The fast packs are kind of pain to mount in fighter mode. Makes the battroid look all beefy and badass though. Quote

eugimon Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 There's the odd chance you'll get the skulls printed a bit crooked on the tail fins, but no other issues with the 1/48. The fit of all the parts is great, joints are nice and tight, all three modes have nice locks so it's pretty sturdy. Plus the yamato 1/48 head sculpt has to be the best looking one there is. I don't think you can go wrong with it. Besides, it just looks so bad ass with the strike/FAST pack add-on. Quote

I'd been contemplating getting the 19 FP and the sale was the impetus I needed to take the plunge. Quote

Are there any other placed besides LAF where I can get more yamato toys? Quote
Wurz Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 Me too. I'd been contemplating getting the 19 FP and the sale was the impetus I needed to take the plunge. I know! Got suckered in even thou it was just like $10-$15 but still *Curses* What am I saying? It's soo gonna be worth it... Quote
