Prices on AJ have been okay, but I'm waiting to see what happens when they hit Mandarake and Jungle. Especially a few weeks after release. I think Manda will have it between 22k yen to 24k yen (unopened, box damaged) and Jungle at 24k yen sealed. I could be wrong to be honest.

sqidd Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Just scored a Kakazaki for $240.08 with fees/domestic shipping on YAJ. I alreday have a MASSIVE pile of loot over there that I'm going to consolidate it with so I'm effectively not going to be paying shipping. It's alreday going to be a $350 size box (32x24x24) with plenty more room (I'm not kidding, I have a lot of stuff over there right now). I'll amortize some shipping cost in with it though for my own records. $30-40 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedComet Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Seller I already snagged 2 Kakizaki from (and maybe 4 Hikaru ) has another up for 22,750 + shipping domestic and foreign, pretty decent price if anyone wants it. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h498335237 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about $235-240 with fees and shipping then shipping to the US. Maybe I should get another so you can do a DYRL Max for me. Unfortunately we all know that I would only trigger Bandai to release a DYRL Max if I get three customs done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgified Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 So far in the DX VF-1 line up, we got: (1) Hikaru's 1j (TV) with Limited Edition stand (2) Max'a 1a (TV) (3) Hikaru 1s (DYRL) (4) Kakizaki 1a (DYRL) (5) Roy's 1s (TV) with the Limited Edition stand [to be released in November] So are we guessing that Max will be next like what @sqidd guestimated [however maybe a 1J version] ?? Damn.... Where is bbilly when you need him to give us a hint to what's next (I know that we roasted and burnt him to a crisp already).

I really REALLY hope it is a Max and Milia 2x VF-1J Super Valkyrie with accessories box set for 55,000 yen (+tax) MSRP. Cause that is two walks that I would NOT want to try and custom paint based on the Hikaru 1J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen it once. I'm setting a DYRL shelf up and wanted to figure out what to put on it. I was a little bummed when I found out that the Mac 1S only showed up in atmo so no super or strikes. Booooo. I'm not putting naked valks on a DYRL shelf! Well, not unless I had a bigger shelf. 1A Max for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pattern says the next release will be a TV Valk. But is there really a pattern? And is Bandai ready to make a TV Kakazaki or brownie? I'm not real confident in a TV Valk being next. My gut tells me the next release is going to be a 1A DYRL Max. M&M 1J box sets would be awesome. I'd have a hell of a time passing those up even though I have three of each in Yamato.

NeoMatter Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Hi all, just want to let anyone interested know I've decided to offload my DX VF-1J... auction style.

I'd have a hell of a time passing those up even though I have three of each in Yamato. With the exception of the Max 1A TV (I think), Bandai has telegraphed every single DX release with previews at their trade shows. My money is on a Max 1A DYRL, which would also be consistent with the booster emblems included in the DYRL SSP set. Unless they really want to screw with collectors and release a Roy 1S DYRL right after the TV version, because those emblems are included in the set as well. I'd love to see a Hayao 1A TV or CF 1A next, but I'm not holding my breath. I know several members have speculated that a Hikaru 1A DYRL might happen as a TWE release, complete with its own booster emblems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikElvis Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Just picked up a kaki at ninnin game. $326 shipped. Didn’t feel like waiting for one to pop up at a better price. But not bad. Like $275 for the valk. I might pick up another if I see it near retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a question for members who have experience purchasing on Yahoo auction jp/Buyee, since this is my first item and I am rather used to the usual suspects such as amiami, hlj, and mandarake. Do you get your stuff safely in a timely fashion using Buyee proxy service? Would you buy the optional “protective packaging service” for 1500 yen?-In my case it will just be one DX VF-1A Kaki, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, their protective packaging it totally unnecessary and will greatly raise shipping prices. Just wait til it arrives at the warehouse, then it should ship DHL alone for about 5000 yen and arrive in 3-4 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp Durron Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I would really like to see two seat versions, namely the VF-1D. If they don't make that, then I'm done after Roy's 1S.

When you don't get the protective packaging they forward it in the same packaging that they got it in. In this case, crap packing. I will not be skipping the protective packaging in the future.

jeniusornome Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 @sqidd Buyee has an option where you can request a picture of the item as received, too, so you don’t necessarily have to pay extra for repacking in everything. it boggles my mind how someone could ship something like that, though. I sometimes wonder if sellers do it when they realize it’s going out of country via tenso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
