YF-29 Durandal Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) 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. Why would a new recruit be using the J-Model? This just proves it that it really should be a VF-1A CF. Edited July 6, 2014 by YF-29 Durandal Quote
chyll2 Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 OT dunno what is the point of contesting if it should be VF-1J or 1A CF. The thing is, the TV anime showed one hence, there is a 1/60 toy for it. and typical of anime even at this time, protagonist are shown to be have preferential treatment. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 I don't even know what this thread is about anymore... telling of sold valks? Sounds like something that trainspotters would do. Quote
technoblue Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 LoL! This thread tracks market trends for auctions that sell (which I guess can be both reasonable or absurd with Valkyries). For me, it helps by giving an idea of what to expect when looking for a particular item. For instance, I already knew that the VF-1J CF was rare, but I didn't know its value. If I had been able to put more money into my auction bid, I might have won the item. Anyway, at these prices it might be better looking for a MIB piece like sreichma instead of waiting for another loose one. Quote

close313 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Im so sorry if i sound ignorant but can I ask why do cells usually go for so much? Is it because it's - one of a kind - kind of thing? Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Just some people that have too much money for their own good. Quote

One of a kind, scarcity, personal meaning to the buyer......it is basically the same reasons why some folks pay so much for art....(or HTF Macross toys!)......but there is a lot of variation in the prices...I guess the more iconic the scene or the more popular a character or mecha is....the more you can expect a cel to sell for.....Hikaru, Misa and Minmay cels generally sell for more than supporting character cels.....but when considering a Fokker or Millia cel...the price is still somewhat always high...... Just some people that have too much money for their own good. Quote
DarrinG Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) To dig a bit more deeply, the cel IS the actual thing that created the fandom for everything else. They ARE the origin. Other Macross collectables are simply passing though history. " This, this IS history . . . " Edited July 15, 2014 by DarrinG Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Good point. The cel created what we all saw on tv and made us buy all these little hunks of plastic. Quote

Sildani Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Provenance, I think you mean. Dang, but if that doesn't look like a Stinger from the BattleTech: 3025 days... Quote

DarrinG Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 If it smells like Provolone - leave it alone. And I'm glad they left that sketch alone too, and refined our VF-1 into an icon... Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Cels are IMO for the truest of enthusiasts. Cel buyers transcend collectors, as they reach into what made the connection to the collecting. Anyone can buy a mass produced item, but only a few can buy original Cels. I'd love to own some, some day.I have a hard enough time buying prints from my favorite artists, much less Cels. Heck some prints I'd like are worth as much as a decent used car. Quote

Mechapilot77 Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 now that's skyfire right there. seriously. look at the feet, the enlarged hip area, the overall blockiness. its almost as if whoever did the redesign of the vf-1 into skyfire...saw this and took it a few more steps further. Quote
