davzilla Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Pretty sure I've purchased Sealed, A and B graded items from Jungle and never had an issue. That said, I'm the type of collector that tends to gravitate towards Sealed or as close to new as possible. Their service fee is a tad irritating, but as Gakken said it's not too bad and it beats the potential stress of an auction. -b. I'll second this, although i get em as cheap as i can cause they're coming out of the box. however, i've bought a couple grand worth of stuff off them now. yamato 1/48 valks mostly, but gundam pg's and mg's too.

Kanedas Bike Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 ^Cool, glad to know that the experience with Jungle has been pretty consistent and positive.

spanner Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Wow....arguably the undisputed champ among all other past Yamato/Arcadia shelf-warmers... I don't recall a Kakizaki ever getting that low of a discount.... and to think I actually pre-ordered but then cancelled one of these for much much more than I eventually paid for one.. got mine from Mandarake for only 7,000 yen! The 30th is an aquired taste And so begins it's slow, slow rise to be a rare and expensive valk haha ahh yes an acquired taste indeed! although initially I really didn't care much for the paint scheme but paying so little for the one I eventually bought has made it grow on me! Now I couldn't imagine my VF-1 collection without it! Again!!! I'm still waiting for mine, aggghhh why preorder?!? http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1722725.html hehe! that was quick! good price too! never mind the "box damaged" comment as everything I have bought from Mandarake has listed the box damage and 9 out of 10 times the boxes have been 99% ok! Milia VF-1J http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1358413.html gahh!! thats a great price! im still chasing the Max & Milia pair of J's.. so rare and pricey when found.. Quote
Gakken85 Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Damn good price for the milia. Bout 60 bucks cheaper than mine after shipping. Hope it went to a collector and not an ebay flipper. Quote

YF-29 Durandal Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 The Angel Birds looks nice but $300 is a bit steep... I will just wait for Arcadia to reissue it. Quote

Falcon18 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 YF-25s are appearing and disappearing quickly on Mandarake. Seems like they're quite popular. Quote
technoblue Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) I saw this loose YF-21 on ebay today and threw my hat into the ring. I got real close to winning (at 10 seconds, I was outbid), and I hope someone here picked it up. The Valkyrie looks a little dusty in the pictures, but otherwise in great condition. All parts and documentation are included with a full sticker sheet. As noted, only the box is missing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/111395291141?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Sniped again. LoL! This time it was a VF-1J CF. Congrats to whomever picked it up! http://www.ebay.com/itm/111395598227?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Edited July 4, 2014 by technoblue Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 To get one for 170 shipped compared to paying NY 200. That's a good deal Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Sniped again. LoL! This time it was a VF-1J CF. Congrats to whomever picked it up! http://www.ebay.com/itm/111395598227?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I'm convinced that those VF-1J CF's should be VF-1A CF's... they just drew them wrong. Think about it, the J model is supposed to be the squadron leader model so why would several of them be together and do grunt work? Edited July 5, 2014 by YF-29 Durandal Quote
sreichma Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 The 1J CF was in another episode also, during the episode where hikaru is training for the military he pilots a 1J CF in battroid mode. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 I don't remember that but I still think that it's supposed to be a VF-1A CF. Quote
no3Ljm Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 I'm just guessing here. Correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe the 1J CF class are the squadron or platoon leader for the 1A CF's. Whereas the white or colored 1J's are higher ranked than their 1J CF leader counterparts. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 I don't know... the protagonists valks are just colored so that they should be easily recognizable... at least thats the case for the A-Model. Quote
sreichma Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Not trying to prove a point, that's not my purpose here, I just wanted to share the other episode of the 1J CF Not trying to prove a point, that's not my purpose here, I just wanted to share the other episode of the 1J CF image.jpg Back to the thread topic, I purchased my 1J CF for 325 MIB so that may be the high range.

Cdr Fokker Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 I saw this loose YF-21 on ebay today and threw my hat into the ring.

All parts and documentation are included with a full sticker sheet. As noted, only the box is missing. Crap. Of course, one of the weeks when I don't bother looking for '21s on eBay is when one like that shows up. Quote
technoblue Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Back to the thread topic, I purchased my 1J CF for 325 MIB so that may be the high range. Thanks for sharing the price, sreichma. I see that these do trend toward high bids. And I noticed that there are a couple buy-it-now auctions asking for ~$400! I could almost get my own ship... er a VF-4G for that! On the YF-19: Yeah, I missed it by THAT much. Quote
sreichma Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Not sure if the auction on ebay came with the box, the pictures just showed the loose 1J CF with accessories but no box was shown. Quote
no3Ljm Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Yup, no box also on the 1J CF. It was on the Q&A part of the listing. Q: Are there any scratches or chips in the tinted canopy? Also how is the quality of the Tampo printing? Finally, I didn't see the original box in the photos and would like to confirm that this is a loose item---Thanks!A: There are NO scratches or chips on the tinted canopy. All the tampo markings look great. There is no box Edited July 5, 2014 by no3ljm Quote
sreichma Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 250 for a used valk with no box shows this thing pulls some weight. I've heard it was rare. (250 includes. 25 shipping) Quote
