Need Advice: 1/60 VF-1D

[Major Focker]

long-time macross fan but noob collector here, so need some quick advice

someone's offering me a 1/60 VF-1D, but i just recently got the super ostrich.

and the one i'm really hunting for is the 1/60 VF-1S Strike Focker..

do you think the 1D is a worthwhile investment for reselling later on, or that i could use it to trade for a VF-1S Strike?

thanks.

Personally I think you might be better off just waiting and seeing if someone will have a 1/60 Strike for sale instead of taking the risk that someone might want to trade the srtike for a 1D.

I was going to say if you haven't got a 1/60 VF-1 yes but you already have a VT so nah don't bother. VT rocks btw.

i like my 1D (the only 1/60 i kept from my first collectings) but id hold off a bit. I have tyhe growing feeling we'll see new Yamato 1/60 VF-1s...

[Ignacio Ocamica]

Go get it

It's one of my favorite 1/60's VF.

do you think the 1D is a worthwhile investment for reselling later on

No. If anything, the non-Fast Pack 1/60 VF-1's have actually depreciated over time.

considering its one of the only VF-1D toys out there, its definitely worth owning.

as far as future invest for resale, its a crap shoot like anything else.

if you like it buy it, if you just want to sell it later down the road, why even bother? why not spend your money on something you actually want to own.

Unless Yamato reissues an improved 1/60 VF-1 series the old ones are all that exist.

If it is at a good price and good condition get the VF-1D.

Also recommend getting the Elint.

The VF-1D is one of my favorite valks because it is the first one that we see transform in the series. I have been wanting to get the Yamato vf-1d for a while but have not gotten around to it. It is the only transformable vf-1d there is available at this point and so if you like this valk then it may be worth getting. It is also more and more difficult to find although it may have decreased in value. I agree that it may not be a great investment idea. We do not know if they will make another better one or not. I hope to get one too but there are so many great valks that I want it is hard to figure out which ones to get first.

The 1D is nice, but I'd go with the strike 1S Focker.

[Major Focker]

thank you everyone for your thoughts.

i'm now inclined to pass on this one. how much is a good price for this by the way? that might just change my mind

VT-1 and VE-1 on the way. can't wait!

the hunt continues for the elusive VF-1S Strike..
