UNSpacy Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 So does anyone know if this is being released again? There's 1 on eBay right now and the price is not high (yet), which I find strange so I thought maybe there's something I'm not aware of? I know there were rumours of this coming out as a general release in September, but as far as I know, it's still a far fetched rumour. UNSpacy Quote

I know there were rumours of this coming out as a general release in September, but as far as I know, it's still a far fetched rumour. UNSpacy I doubt this. The Weathering special comes with a note taped to the inside of the box. http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/7162/dsc00004ok7.jpg This note is a general thank you for buying the Weathering Special. It then explains that the paint job is all hand applied as well as the decals. So it warns the owners to be careful, lest they scratch the custom paint and decals. Given that each weathering is had applied, the cost of labor to mass produce this would be ridiculous. I heard rumors of another possible weathering special, The VF-1J Edited July 23, 2008 by Solscud007 Quote
Ghostkiller Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 the next one is Hikky 1S + strike parts all weathered in 1/48 in fact Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 the one on ebay has gone to 300...and shipping is a full assraping without lube...only hardcore collectors enjoy this... I got a question, I remember the Low vis. 1 had a problem that the weathering smudge on ones fingers, is this an issue on the VF-1S or this is a much very quality weathering (seems like it) Quote

I got a question, I remember the Low vis. 1 had a problem that the weathering smudge on ones fingers, is this an issue on the VF-1S or this is a much very quality weathering (seems like it) It's over $350 now, which was my limit. For a whole week, I thought I had a chance. :-( Regarding shipping, I did a check on Canada Post and the cost to ship to my United States address was $40. So the seller's $50 isn't far off. I emailed the seller earlier in the week and she's open to local pickups for free; which is great for me, but it's already past what I'm willing to pay. :-( I think I'm about to quit being a 1/48 completist especially with the weather VF-1S Strike and VF-1A Max exclusives coming out.

Vegas Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) I think I'm about to quit being a 1/48 completist especially with the weather VF-1S Strike and VF-1A Max exclusives coming out. im thinking the same too! although im glad that im able to complete my all the 1/48's up to this point. i guess just be happy of what you have now, its a feat that you got all of them ya know. not everybody can accomplished that easily.

vanpang Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 You know guys, perhaps the W.S. VF-1S Roy is not a Limited Edition item. As another member pointed out there is no "Limited Edition" wording on the box or anywhere else. So there maybe hope they may reissue it again. I think the only true limited edition Valks are the Low Viz 1, which there is a "Limited" word on the box, the JBC card Black VF-1J (only 4 or 5 in the world) and also the W.S. VF-1S Hikaru (where Yamato has annouced only 250 units would be produced) Take for example the Revoltech Ultra Magnus, when was released last year, it was a hobby specialist shop exclusive, but just last month, they reissue the Ultra Magnus. I know more than a few friends who are cursing Kaiyado for that So is W.S. VF-1S Roy truly limited, who knows, only time can tell. Quote
sqidd Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 The auction on eBay ended early for some reason. I am guessing someone cut a off eBay deal on it. Quote
Vegas Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 theres one again on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Yamato-VF-1S-Weatherin...p3286.m14.l1318 Quote

sqidd Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 theres one again on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Yamato-VF-1S-Weatherin...p3286.m14.l1318 Wow, starting at $449 huh. I wish I didn't want one so bad. The only thing that has prevented me from getting one is that the next two limiteds will be even harder to get and gasp!...........more $$$$$$$ Quote

The only thing that has prevented me from getting one is that the next two limiteds will be even harder to get and gasp!...........more $$$$$$$ Buy it Now for $699.99! Don't forget another $65 for shipping. I sense speculators are artifically driving the prices up. This "Weathered Roy Special" bubble will hopefully deflate soon. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 hahaha, for that price, I¿ll rather custom weather it myself and surely have a one of a kind vf-1s, hahahaha Quote

This "Weathered Roy Special" bubble will hopefully deflate soon. How did that happen ? Someone bidded on the auction earlier but now that 1st bid is no longer there and you have a buy it now option ? Can the seller change the format after someone has bidded on it ? Edited July 29, 2008 by vanpang Quote

Dashgtr Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 This Weathering VF-1S seems to be a good deal. Anyone interested? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=140253845035 Quote

Roy's Blues Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Most assured, now that a direct link to the auction has been posted on a public forum that the the niche market collectors go to discuss/complain about such items. Quote
Duymon Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 That's really a moot point since if somebody here is willing to pay that kinda cash on Ebay, they most likely already have keywords that search daily for such auctions anywho. Quote
Dashgtr Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Just trying to share what I've found. Helping those who is still looking for 1.... Quote
Kyp Durron Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 US $158.51 with only 2 hours to go. I'm surprised it stayed this low for so long, but I'd bet that the last hour or so will see it go up. -Kyp Quote
