m0n5t3r Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Well....a "Focker" like a VF-1J Mass Production is aka "Commander Type"..... Technically, this was released as a low vis, not stealth... But it's understandable to get confused, with the color they used for this... I still don't get it though... If Arcadia will "reissue" this (if they are going to be able to reissue any Yamatos at all) they should make it a proper low vis... Then make a proper stealth variant. Quote

Like I said...I used the term for it like several collectors use the term "commander type" for the VF-1J Mass Production Type....sorry if that confused anyone... Quote

CF18 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 You mean this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/281124794761 I guess 700 is reasonable for this. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 24, 2013 Author Posted June 24, 2013 You mean this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/281124794761 I guess 700 is reasonable for this. Yep....Considering how many were actually made and how many ever make it to market, I'd say that it sold for a fair US Market Price (after adding shipping and proxy fees)... If anyone is interested, there is one up on YJA..... http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b145992742 Quote
skullmilitia Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Prices are going to fall fast, once the future was confirmed by Arcadia, the panic selling started. I've already noticed a stall in completed and sold listings for valks. And the ones that have sold, are on the low range. Quote
Gakken85 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Yup, it went from a sellers market to a buyers market pretty quickly. I bet we'll see a glut of 19's too haha. Still though, if you think about it, an opened MIB valk shouldn't sell for more than retail unless it was limited, rare, or special in some way. I still think it's too high for some of the stock VF-1's to sell for $130, but it is what it is. It's also down to what somebody is willing to pay to get something. Just have to wait for the new normal. Quote
Scyla Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Well they are all special snowflakes now because Yamato doesn't exist anymore. If Arcadia hasn't any plans for re-releasing their old products I'm sure that prices will increase again. Still hoping for a reissue of the VF-11C and the rest of the Macross Plus line when they release the YF-19 V3 in 2014. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I refuse to pay more than 200 for a VF-1 even if it has not been opened or a rare valk no matter how much I want it. I was toying and wooshing my 11B yesterday and the transformation is so simple and smooth, clearly one of Yamato's best works. They could reissue the 11B/C with "option parts" like a heatshiled that clips in the middle of the forearm (as seen in the VF-19S/F/P) with extra gunpod magazines and dare I say atmospheric boosters for the B.

Gakken85 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 VF-11c for under 240 before shipping and fees. https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-b148834129 Quote
skullmilitia Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 The real test will be if Arcadia pulls out a new mold for the VF-1, and perhaps a new VF-4 repaint. That market will crumble. I'm still hoping for a VT rerelease. Quote
sharpnel Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 VF-11c for under 240 before shipping and fees. https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-b148834129 I have both versions and I thinking about selling them. PM me if anyone is interested. Quote

I'm still hoping for a VT rerelease. i think based on what we learned about the T-Rex designs on the yf-19 2014 thread a re-design for the vf-1 is unlikely other than re-releases hopefully arcadia will be able to obtain the license for the flashback version. then we can all be happy Edited June 25, 2013 by davidwhangchoi Quote

dapro Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Wow ! mandarake is flooded with yamatos........I wonder why? I saw that. haha They even have a MAx and Miria VF-1j Quote
MACROSS25 Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 I saw that. haha They even have a MAx and Miria VF-1j 1 is going for 150.00 , not bad! Lots of people selling them off I guess? Lets keep them selling , i still want my yamato sdf-1 Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 yep looks good to me. i finally was able to get a set of tv super parts finally to put on my cannon fodder valks Quote

They are really due for a renewal. Quote
Scyla Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 I agree but since I don't collect the Zero line and have an unfinished Macross 7 collection my wishes for 2014 are different (VF-1J Milia 2045 *cough*). Maybe if the prices for old Yamato Valkyries are declining I might be able to snag a VF-11C at or below MSRP. Frankly this toy needs only a reissue and not a renewal since it is pretty good (minus the tail fins). Quote
jvmacross Posted June 25, 2013 Author Posted June 25, 2013 New low for a used VF-4G...plus the guy threw in a Yamato stand! Yamato 1/60 VF-4G: http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k167237041 Quote
Matt Random Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Actually hoping they pay zero some attention first. They are really due for a renewal. I agree. I really like the VF-0 design, but Yamato's first effort wasn't very good. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) i hope the M&M start dropping Edited June 25, 2013 by davidwhangchoi Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 i think that's normal for a used 4g, add proxy and shipping fees and it'll come out to about 435-440 shipped. which is about right. looks like across the board there's a lot vf-1 flooding the market. i'm going to look for some extras. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I find the VF-0 fighter and gerwalk mode very accurate, it's battroid and the overall foppliness that ruins it. Quote
Gakken85 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Unless you have the vf-0a unknown soldier. Its like a completely different toy. Love mine. Quote
