iTEN Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I have the Yamato 1/60 Hikaru and Roy VF-1S Super + Strike Box Set (One that comes with the flashlight) And I cannot find ANYWHERE that has some sort of a price on them. I really could use some help pinning some what of a rough pricing for these. Much appreciated in advance! Quote
connor99 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I bought mine from a local shop here in OC, Calif. (ANIMEKING,inc.) for $150 about a year and a half ago. I hope this helps, but if I were you I'd try and hold on to this one since it's kinda hard to find right now (for a decent price!) and YAMATO has yet to announce a reissue . Quote
iTEN Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 That is right around the time I purchased mine as well. So now I'm in a ditch trying to ponder if selling it is a good idea or not. Quote
Old Man Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I was late in the game and purchased mine sometime in December last year, and they were already up to $180. Now they're near impossible to find, and since this is the only DYRL version that comes with safe shoulder hinges, I'd hold on to them if I were you. Especially since Graham has run out of off-white replacement shoulders... Quote
iTEN Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 Ah, now I see why it's stressed to hold onto these. Here's a question. "IF" you guys were to sell yours, how much would you be charging ? Quote
Isamu Dyson Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Ah, now I see why it's stressed to hold onto these. Here's a question. "IF" you guys were to sell yours, how much would you be charging ? That would be a tough question to ask since many people on this board wouldn't easily put a price to sell any of their valks unless they were in desperate times. Check out the "Macross Toys holding Value" thread. Perhaps the better question is how much are you willing to pay for a VF-1S Strike Pack +. For me I would fork out about 200 depending on the condition and more importantly whom am I buying from. Reputation is key when your dealing with a high priced transaction. If your looking to maximize profit from it - I suggest ebay given your neutral reputation with a buy it now price on how much you are willing to part with it. If there still isn't a buyer then go for a 1.00 start bid and let us know. You'll be surprised on how much you'll make for it if a bidding war starts. However I can't picture it going over 300 unless it is a highroller MWer. Hope that helps~~~ Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) I've got the hikaru vf-1s with super and strike parts too. (anniversary) If only bandai did things like that. Actually celebrate things like anniversaries and give us better deals. Maybe a "naked minmay in the shower" figure packed with every 1/60 toy that is released on that year?

CF18 Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Well there is one used copy keep being listed for $300 on eBay, but no taker. It is not gona sold for big $ since the regular version of VF-1S Hikaru and Strike Pack are still in production - even went on sale on HLJ for 40% off around April, and this version only got the packaging and flash light over the regular one. If it is a low-vis VF-1S, VT-1 or VE-1 then they were being sold for $300+ Quote
connor99 Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) $300 for a used one just seems ridiculous! But it would be nice to get another 1S just so I can open it up and have it as a play piece. I just can't justify spending that much for this particular 1/60 V.2 variant, open box or not. Edited October 3, 2011 by connor99 Quote
pud333 Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) $300 is ridiculous indeed. Even though there is no official announcement of a reissue, the 30th anniversary is coming up and I am betting there will be reissues for sure. So if you want a premium for it, better off load it soon. Because the reissue will have all the fixes the latest V2.2 have and this version will be out of date. My local Import shop is selling theirs for $180 brand new, so that's probably fair right now. I said fair though. There's only one way to find out for sure: throw it up on ebay and let the bidding determine current market value. Edited October 3, 2011 by pud333 Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 The 1/48 "credit card valk" is what you want. That was the valk where only 3 of them were made. It was a black ops vf-1 that looked a lot like the vf-1 in SDFM tv series that was in shadow. You should try selling in second life: Quote
