Knight26 Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 @claude grant There are grey market 1:20 heads and cockpits? Where? Quote
borgified Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 I was actually thinking the same question as well @Knight26. Unless it's the official Kidslogic versions. Quote

pezley Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Were display stands supposed to come with the call factory vf-1a Kos ? I got milia recently and it didn't seem to come with them Edited May 3, 2020 by pezley Quote
Sandman Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Any new developments in the KO scene. I lost track of the news. Anything new announced. Quote
sqidd Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 I got the KO VF-1S Focker Strike for my "Focker Army" display. Probably getting it out this weekend. I'm really curious how the quality is. Quote
Slave IV Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) I ordered the Angel Bird and CF. Those should be nice to help fill out the collection. But I have no idea when they are supposed to ship. Edited July 10, 2020 by Slave IV Quote

This is the KO thread and there is no official Angel Bird or CF preorders that I know of. By the way, I checked and they said it should be end of year. Edited July 11, 2020 by Slave IV Quote
twich Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Any more word on any more of these? Question to those that have these, which releases are the Premium Finish types, i.e. the ones with tampogragh details instead of stickers? I think the max/milia VF-1J have it. Do any of the VF-1S? I wonder why we have not seen/heard of a VF-1J Hikaru with premium finish treatment, as far as I know, there hasn’t been one yet in 1/60 scale(sorry 1/48 DX, at $400-$500 plus shipping, you are out of my league...I am a broke hoe!) thanks, Twich Quote

Slave IV Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 Yeah, definitely a good price for what you are getting. I have to problem with KOs but just don't feel like paying more than $100 for any. I'm still waiting for my CF and Angel Bird KOs to arrive. Quote

DewPoint Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 The asking price of the Valkyrie Factory KOs appears to be trending up. Unless you can find one at a steal, it seems to be getting to the point where you may as well get the Yamato or Arcadia for not significantly more. And from more reliable sources. Quote

Unless you can find one at a steal, it seems to be getting to the point where you may as well get the Yamato or Arcadia for not significantly more. And from more reliable sources. Expand Exactly. As I posted earlier, I found a "used" Yammie for basically the same price as a KO. The prices seem a bit high to me. I got a super-size KO Optimus Prime for about $50. Now to me, that's what KO prices should be like (like a 5th of the price of the real deal). To each their own though, and I guess the market is there for these KOs at the prices they are fetching. Sort of like those bastard DX 1/48s and how scalpers are able to rake in double the MSRP. Quote
F360 Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 since these ko have pre tampo markings and super/strike packs. they are suppose to be compare to the pricing of vf-1s roy premium finish ver Quote
Lolicon Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 Seems even for KO makers that producing a transforming valkyrie toy that won't crumble when transformed is not an easy or cheap endeavor. Quote
peter Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 Ok, those are good points I didn't consider...the tampo stuff. One thing I really hated about the Yammies was applying stickers. And these things are pretty durable? Quote

Slave IV Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 It's a bit ironic that the recent convo started with a post about a great deal and how the prices seem to be going down on these and now it turns into the prices are climbing? I haven't really researched pricing on these much other than I bit when the Angel Bird and CF were announced. I still stick to not wanting to pay more than $100 for a KO VF-1 with S/SP, PF or not.
