To or not to get the VF-1S Hikaru?

[bandit29]

I say wait.  It'll depreciate, just like the majority of the Yamato valks.

I can't find a single 1/48 Yamato Valk that has depreciated in price at any major seller. Except for the occasional fire-sale on Max, they're all still around $125-135 pre-shipping.

No kidding. Even the 1/60's held onto their value for a while before depreciating.

Part of the value staying up or going higher is that the yen is has become stronger against the dollar now. tmpanime.com (twinmoons)is one of the only places that I know of that hasn't raised their prices at all.

BBTS was dumping 1/48 Ma VF-1A on ebay. Starting them at 1.00. They'd end around 100.00-110.00. Thier website is selling them for 124.95 now.

The 1/60 Super and Elint have dropped pretty fast. Usually on ebay for 45.99-49.99 with 20.00 shipping from HK. That's cheaper than most US dealers.
