sqidd Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 How much do you guys estimate these will be going for on the secondary market? Looks like previous release non PF units are going for $700-800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully for as close to retail as possible, that way the folks that buy up stock just for the purpose of selling down the line at an insane profit margin, can't. -b.

Lolicon Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Doubt scalping is a concern for such an item. It's a web exclusive and has a high price point, so the people who want and can afford it will be a smaller pool than for a cheaper Bandai DX item. Also, Macross Zero is nearly 20 years old and didn't exactly set the world on fire when it was new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it turns out to be a dud that'll be a whole other discussion re: resell value. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah if you are referring to new and unopened, that's a different range. MISB discussions can be open ended, so wont get into that too much. But just to say am not too particular abt used, as the japanese do take care of their belongings. With some dilligence browsing the auction sites, used stuff are as good as new.

seti88 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 All this price discussion got me checking the interwebs... I wonder how far this https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/d384426333 would go, seeing that a new PF version is 45k... The bidding current price is back at the original nonPF retail prices at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm lucky, two but I really don't need an extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technoblue Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Woah. I wasn’t expecting NY to put up a pre-order. I checked the site a few times before I posted too. HaHa. More options are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rein+ Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Damn, i know it would be expensive but at this price and the tax, oh man. But the image that this piece price would be rising to be unreachable after it releases make it unbearable. I'm converting my discount point at NY right now, let see how much it can help.

F360 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 After thinking back and forth , finally went ahead and preordered 2 from N-Y. Used my Summon discount power of 4%. Since it's releasing in December, had to use EMS since that is the time of the year with the most shipping issues. Total shipped for 2 ended up at 94196 yen. Also, in case some haven't noticed yet, the price on N-Y is ONLY 43800 yen each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From even the promo pics on arcadia's online store, its most likely going to be the same deep blue color but this time panel lined and weathered.

sqidd Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) Broke down and got three more. Rogueload is just down the street from me and asked if I would order one for him. I'll either display the other three in all three mods. Or knocking the display units back to one or two and keep the rest MISB. Man, it's such a prety bird!

TrickyCustomer Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Just ordered one off NY £433 including EMS shipping and pay later option. I hate that any live chat issue can only be resolved through that ticket system. Makes the live chat basically pointless. One of these will do me. I only want to display it as a fighter alongside the pf vf-0s, which is available new at HLJ. I paid £383 for one minus the shipping.
