Question and advice

[ver CO]

Just a couple of questions please.

1. Are the FAST pack option parts compatible with either the (Arcadia) GBP figure or the version 1? Will I be able to put them on at all?

2. Is $40 ok to get the old brown Takatoku VF-1A? No gun, no box. Just the Valk. Found a guy selling his.

Thanks in advance!

Ok. Not to be rude or anything. But if you have some questions, you can just post on the FAQ Thread, which it was already pinned as the first post. So that for random questions like these, should just put it there. Anyways, here's the link for future reference: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=33093

As to answer your question.

1. If you're asking for the individual Fast Packs for the VF-1's that was sold by Yamato before, then yes. Those are for the Version 2 VF-1's. Since I can't remember if ever there was a Fast Packs sold individually for the Version 1. And just to be clear when you say Fast Packs, you were referring to the 'Super/Strike Packs', right? But if you're going to use it on Version 1 VF-1's, you can't.

2. I'm not sure if that's ok or not. But I just checked eBay and other stores and found the brown VF-1A for $79.99. And some are selling just the box for $54.99. Let's see what the other guys can say about this.

Hope that helps.

I'm not sure how to answer the first question because there have been so many VF-1 toys. Arcadia accessories fit Yamato's VERSION 2 toys. Version 2 toys are generally applicable to any version 2 toy. Version 1 stuff doesn't fit any version 2 or Arcadia toy or vice versa. Hopefully that helps.

As to the second question, I'm done buying Takatoku 1/55 toys because if they're cheap there's generally a reason for it. The landing gear doors won't stay closed or the landing gears are broken, there's discoloration, loose parts, shoulders popping off, stickers misapplied (though, sometimes that happened at the factory) and it's usually just 'meh' at best. I definitely recommend trying to find newer Bandai reissues though those aren't as cheap as they should be these days.

Noted no3ljm, I'll do that moving forward. Yep I checked eBay too but still I wasn't sure if it's worth getting, especially since it's not complete.
