I got them on both on eBay, one was a set with the VF-1S TV 30th, and the other with the VF-1A DYRL. I was kind of surprised to see them at a relatively good price, as the parts alone have sure gone up in the past week or two.

So you are the one who snip me on ebay for the VF-1A DYRL. LOL

I hope we don't see a "Full Macross Panic" price increase in stores for Yamato stuff. I think eBay prices may reflect the market environment pretty soon, like the Hostess Twinkie panic.

I bought all 3 VF-22's, not because Yamato closed but because I fell *back* in love with the VF-22 while playing Macross 30 :p actually the 1st 1/60 yammies I ever bought (stubborn 1/48 lover :p)

Oh man - this is my most insane Macross haul ever:

(1) VF-19P

(1) VF-17D with super pack

(1) Super pack for VF-17 (spare due to holding out on VF-17S for a little longer)

(1) VF-19F

(1) VF-22S Milia

(2) 1/60 VF-1S Roy TV version

(1) 1/60 VF-1A DYRL Kakizaki

(1) 1/60 VF-1J Hikaru

(2) 1/60 VF-1S DYRL Hikaru 30th anniversary ed.

(1) 1/60 GPB-1S armor parts

(1) 1/60 VF-1S DYRL Roy 30th anniversary ed.

And this is all the stuff I lagged on over the years. I actually bought a few of these just before the great panic but I elevated it during the past week. This isn't including the upcoming Bandai stuff (VF-171EX CF, YF-29 Anniversary, RVF-25 LUCA)! :o

Okay so you beat me, but mine has been for the month of March ALONE

VF-19F, (would have skipped this)

VF-19P,

VF-17D with packs (would have skipped this)

and looking for VF-11C.

Woot. Those are rare pieces. I saw a VF-1S Roy Super/Strike DYRL on Mandarake for 13k yen, and it vanished after a few hours. Wow. Just wow. And to think my Cavalier stayed there for 3-4 days... I was lucky. :wacko:

Haha. I bought those same things too! I wanted the P and the D at the very least. As for the 19F I'm going to steal one of the parts from it to replace the broken piece on the hip for my S and keep the F in fighter mode instead. At least until either I can get someone to make a 3d model of it to submit to shapeways or I somehow figure out how to do that myself. I'm not even sure where to begin with that for the 2nd option.

I started Panic buying when the VF-19 P was discontinued on HLJ in February.

Woot. Those are rare pieces. I saw a VF-1S Roy Super/Strike DYRL on Mandarake for 13k yen, and it vanished after a few hours. Wow. Just wow. And to think my Cavalier stayed there for 3-4 days... I was lucky. :wacko:

The Cavalier is a great buy. I got my Milia 1/60 v2 last week I was surprised to see it for sale. It took me .00000005 seconds to think about buying it :p

Holding out for a 25F/S renewal. Of course, the predator could also kick my door in and spear me against the wall. Either has as likely a chance of happening.

Lmao Don't worry I could see those renewals to come out around 2019 ish

Yeah, but how much did your Milia V2 1/60 cost you???

The same amount. But to me it was worth it. And depends how much you want it. Edited by Valkyrie Magnus

just scored a 1/60 VF-19S myself, probably the last Yammie i'll ever be able to get at a reasonable price.

i'm really loving the beauty up though; it's become my no.1 Yammie Valk, in fact, and i'd love to buy another as a spare

while the excellent clearance price HKC has on them lasts...

I started back around when David locked the thread of my post about the YF-19 <_< LOL! I did not know at the time about starting new topics about something when a thread exists. The YF-19 thread was huge at the time. Anyways my list is in the link in my sig.

I don't know if it counts but I was going to wait for the 17D and 19P to go on sale... but then I snatched them up as soon as someone mentioned the 19P was 'low stock' at HLJ.

I wish I had done that. 19P are over $300 on evilbay

The 19P is HK$1,899 at hkcollectibles still and as far as I know is the cheapest price you're going to get right now. That's around $245 USD.
