Yeah the flaw in your logic is that that's prices from 2008 before the economy took a crap.

http://www.hlj.com/product/ymt00080/Sci

Back then Yamato was asking $90 for a VF-1 and $40 for Supers.

Since then there has been the global collapse, yamato went out of business more or less, and inflation. Going on Valk prices it's almost 60% increase based off what Arcadia is asking for the yf-19 ect.

I think they will be at least $80 bucks on the low end.

They seem to like throwing in extras too and asking more + smaller runs which could jack up the price too. I'm comfortable in thinking they will be at least $250-260 and stand alone supers being $80-100. Maybe with a discount closer to $240 for the bird.

They aren't going to ask less than what supers are selling for on the secondary market which is around $110, depending. It's still a considerable amount of plastic.

Bandai charges $70ish for their supers and they tend to flux up and down depending on demand and parts.

All this is before shipping mind, so that's at least $35-40 bucks for a double box.

But hey! I hope you're right. I'd like to get a max and maybe another milia :D so the cheaper the betta.

So jealous :(

There really nice display cases worth every penny at $70. Of course you could get a Detlof for $50 but I wanted something for my desk at work. Each display case has 8 LEDs and they can be powered by either battery or USB. The lights can be controlled on the front bezel by way of a touch surface and it has a mirrored back panel which you can flip to a plain white background.

Which ones do you recommend for Valks and where did you get it? Found some for $90 which is abit much.

picked up a set of Michael Super parts, Ozma Armor parts and a YF-29 Isamu Dyson!

The Ozma armor parts were more expensive than the YF-29!! pretty crazy seeing how the Isamu was MISB!

Probably cause there's more Isamu 29s lying around as compared to Ozma's armour.

This came in today. Fast fast shipping. Arrived in 2 days. :D

Absolutely! Worked good for me as the Isamu was only 17,300 yen delivered!

Managed to snag this off eBay for a "reasonable" price. No shoulder cracks and the canopy is perfect!

The Bandai Holy Grail itself!

So happy right now. Though I'm sure I'll despair later when the credit card bill arrives.

Congratulations!! Just keep looking at Ozma when you open up that cc bill. :)

^ hah. That makes it worthwhile indeed.

Have the 25S next to you when the bill arrives. Use it to cover the amount you have to pay. :p

Nice Old Man! I'm jealous of the VF-25S but not the cc bill

Btw Anime that's a nice lady you got there!
