Recommended Posts

Idk... $300 isn't a great price.. haha. The TC's are good toys but double the price is steep considering the shipping will probably be 40 bucks or so.

well umm yeah, both the YF-19 and Scopedog prices are about right, but its getting pretty hard to find those prices anymore out there, at least for the scopedog and the fact that nobody picks Yamato's scopedog molds after its demise (or maybe sombody did?)...

as for the YF-19, the only places to get that kinda price in the States are either here (MW), mandarake or jungle. In fact I believe last week jungle was selling the v1 19 at $70-ish, but heard shipping always kills it with jungle.

cheers!

A nail-bitter! Seconds to go and a Rinkya bidder came in....but was soon outbid by "Cha"....up to 210,001 yen!!!!!!

SOLD for 210,001 JPY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Judging by the pic...it is most likely drawn by Mikimoto himself.....a true gem and piece of Macross history.....

though i have about 6 i want another roy vf-1s variant. or a max 1s weathered

^ Ditto on that Angel Bird. It's another of Yamato's releases that's not in my collection but I wasn't able to justify the $ 250 price tag plus shipping with (1) so many pre-orders to pay for and (2) being one release that I don't feel that I have to have.

It is fun watching Mandarake and other stores and going thru that should I or shouldn't I dance in my head.

As far as I know only the Chronicles Exclusive included the clear fan racer kit. They then later released stock to a few online retailers that did not include the fan racer. I know because I bought the Chronicles exclusive. I wish I would have bought a few more for display purposes but just never got around to it. Now the price is through the roof.

This one http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1475931.html was the Exclusive version posted by Dyno.

I know, but it's silly how this valks is expensive now cause it's sorta rare.

I have two, need one more for display purposes also.

Yeah I know it's expensive now, but that is the way with out of print/defunct mfg's in the aftermarket..

Sorry man, that was me. I thought the same thing you did when I first saw it, then I saw the third picture....

Better luck next time! They still have the Luca version without the Super Parts for the same price.

EDIT: WHOA! Just got an email saying that this was already out of stock. Looks like someone in Japan got their hands on it faster than I did.

I bet it was just a listing error on their part.

Mandarake has plenty of western collectables. Their vintage US toy selection is one of the biggest I saw in Japan. So I can see why they have them for sure. If they are rare, sealed and collectable... Mandarake will sell it!

I'm a strong advocate of not posting live (and especially new) listings from places like Mandarake. It's hard enough as it is to find deals, free advertisements in a broadly viewed board like this doesn't help. If someone is looking for something, and the item has been up for quite a few days, it's another story. But posting a new listing not an hour old? I don't agree with it.

It's my strong opinion that this thread should be about SOLD prices, and not prices for items still available!

ok, this thread's for completed auctions, to gain a feel for the market prices of various toys.

$400 seems like a good price.

just to quote a few MW'rs above, this is for completed/ended listings:)
