O____O SaitouSad - the arm attachments are a different sculpt, and the colour is more tv accurate and it's rare as hell, even more for that price...... I'm aware of the colour difference. But I guess I'll get it anyway. Works up to about $140 with shipping via ems.. wallet's gonna cry with this and the VF-11B coming in, that and my orders for this month as well - YF-29 30th Anniversary colour and a crap ton of stuff.

ff95gj Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Seriously? The VF-1J + Super Parts bundle is only $105? Difference: borrowed from Jenius' site on the 1/48 counterparts... But the differences are the same: different color, no beam cannons, different arm piece: What's so special about it? Pardon my ignorance. It's going for $105 (before shipping) Quote

Kurisama Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Where are everyone buying their valks from? I'm hitting up my usual spots (HLJ, HK, AE, NY) but there are slim pickings - I'm seeing some rare stuff ppl are getting... Quote

ff95gj Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Yeap, $105 before shipping. The colours seem to match the pic, except for that Red Fast pack.. It's blue here. The Red FAST pack is from Millia's VF-1J. Don't mind that. Quote
pikashoo Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Yeap, $105 before shipping. The colours seem to match the pic, except for that Red Fast pack.. It's blue here. Where are you ordering this from? Quote

Loop Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Pics of the giant box it comes in when it arrives, please! No doubt, I think this is the one of the single biggest valk purchases I ever made. Where are everyone buying their valks from? I'm hitting up my usual spots (HLJ, HK, AE, NY) but there are slim pickings - I'm seeing some rare stuff ppl are getting... Which variants are you referring to? Holy crap dude, that's gonna be big enough to ship yourself in. Yeah I really want to see this box. Or maybe even boxes? Quote
SaitouSad Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Where is the Super VF-1J @ 105 bucks?? Where are you ordering this from? OverDrive has it. It's a very old listing, but that's where I got my Quad Rau (Max and Millia) too. http://www.over-drive-inc.com/shop/macross-160-vf1j-ichijo-hikaru-ver-with-superstrike-parts-p-17.html For anyone interested, they also have the Max and Millia VF-22S for $119 each. I'll pass on these as I'm not a big fan of the VF-21/22 designs. The Red FAST pack is from Millia's VF-1J. Don't mind that. Oh, haha, okay. Ordered it, hope it turns out fine Edited March 21, 2013 by SaitouSad Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Oh, uh, I don't think that site is actually working anymore. Overdrive has been completely dead for years now. Yeah, that news post about the clearance sale is dated from 2010. On the other hand, Angolz has the Gamlin VF-22 for $98 Tempting, but I don't need more VF-22s. Edited March 21, 2013 by Chronocidal Quote
Loop Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 STAY AWAY FROM OVERDRIVE! You have been warned. They are super shady now. At one time they were good, but somehow they fell off hard. They do not communicate at all when e-mailed, and someone here got ripped off in the black list thread. Look at their last blog post date lol. http://www.over-drive-inc.com/overdrive-blog/ Quote

Funny thing was, I ordered 2 Queadluun-Rau (Millia and Max Color Ver) for $50 each just in December. And the items came and seemed fine. When you guys say they are super shady, what actually happened? Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Wait, seriously? That's rather amazing. Their site has seemed incredibly dead and unresponsive to anyone for the longest time. Quote

I also tried to communicate with them several times and they never replied back... I guess maybe it's not a zombie site, just eating dollars away and not shipping items. Quote

Weird, I have heard they ripped off a user in the blacklist thread. I also tried to communicate with them several times and they never replied back... I guess maybe it's not a zombie site, just eating dollars away and not shipping items. Dug up that thread about the ripoff. From the looks of it, I'm guessing they're just not focused on communicating to customers. With the 2 Quads I ordered, I took the risk as it was Paypal and I could always dispute that. They actually went through with it, and it disappeared off the website after my order was processed and confirmed. I guess they're just clearing old stock. I'll update you guys again about my VF-1J with Super if it goes South (I'll give them 2-4 weeks before I file for dispute), since they do ship it via EMS, it should arrive in my country in a week. Edit: Forgot to note, despite them offering freebies for purchases, I'm sure that offer has since lapsed years ago, so obviously I never got any freebies. Was glad to get my stock nonetheless. Edited March 21, 2013 by SaitouSad Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Well, right at the moment, only things I'm really thinking of picking up is a standard YF-19, and maybe a Virgin Road VF-1D. Anyone sees good YF-19 deals (with fast packs would be great, but not necessary), I'd appreciate any tips. Quote
Loop Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I also missed out on the YF-19. I was mulling over it for too long and missed the boat. I really wanted to add one more Guld to my collection. Quote

Hope you end up getting it. and please let the board know if they come through. I'm sure people here would like that Super VF-1J Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 That's the YF-21, and Angolz has those still, last I checked (a few minutes ago). I'm still really on the fence about bothering with a YF-19 anymore, but I feel like I should get one in good shape to save, even though I think the shape of it stinks. The newer VF-19 mold is such a quantum leap above it, it's almost painful to think about displaying them together. I know people love it, but shape aside, it's from the VF-0 generation, and has some of the same issues with cruddy plastic. Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Because you guys can't hear yourselves with all the other voices... Gotta pull the trigger! Why, why do I need another one? Because this is it! This is my last chance! What are you talking about, hrmmm... there is another! Leiah! No! Going broke! Gotta go for broke! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT NOW! Lol that's exact my thoughtsMy list of buys for my buying spree although not as extensive as Loops but wife approved VF-19 p VF-19 f VF-17 s VF-17 d with super pack 1/60 v2 VF-1a TV cannon fodder 1/60 v2 VF-1j millia 1/60 v2 VF-1S Focker DYRL 1/60 v2 VF-1d Wallet is hurting but it has been fun getting waves of boxes coming in.

I really wanted to add one more Guld to my collection. Been trying to get one myself. Took the plunge on a 2nd hand on Mandarake, but I've been having some weird problems paying them via Paypal. Payment keeps on failing, despite me having no problems with my credit card (my payment options in my Paypal account). Quote

Chronocidal Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Holy crap, people have gone insane... YF-19's are sitting between $700 and $1000 on ebay for buy-it-now prices. Are we seriously already getting back to the early 90s with the old Takatoku prices again? Quote

Haha... does that mean my old 1/72 YF-19 (The very 1st YF-19 toy ever made by Yamato!) is now worth even more? Man.. I still regret getting that piece of crap.. It had so many problems, and the head sculpt is just terrible. Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Hard to say. I saw a few of those even up to about $100 on there, but then again, that is ebay for you. Quote
raptormesh Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 One can never have too many 22s...never... Oh for goodness sakes they need to stop discounting them, every time i see one that's under $100 i black out and next thing you know I have shipping notifications. And dammit...one of these days i swear i'm going to make a VF-22 combiner with max and miria as legs. ... Eh I happen to be quite content with my YF-19, she's still quite the looker. I even display em in gerwalk mode. I LIKE THE ENERGY IN THIS THREAD. Quote
kyekye Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Anime Export still has ver 1.0 YF-19 for relatively fare price Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) I'm not seeing it.. says no record found... and when I search for the actual item, it shows sold out at $426... And actually, I'd argue the YF-19's best mode is gerwalk. It hides all the things people get annoyed with in fighter and battroid. Edited March 21, 2013 by Chronocidal Quote

It was there for more than a week. they only had 1. Since I'm at it, I'm thinking about picking up a couple of VF-1 unpainted kits. Has anyone tried painting it successfully without issues? If yes, what kind of paint did you use? Edited March 21, 2013 by kyekye Quote

I love the YF-19 for the fighter and Battoroid mode. I hate the gerwalk mode, cause to me it looked quite unsightly. Might be the way the shoulder juts out. Quote
