Where Can I Find VF2-SS

[Culverin]

hey all, first post and i'm already buggin you guys

but my question is where can i find the Musasiya 1/72 VF2-SS resin kit featured here

http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models...sasiya_main.htm

i've wanted that model for quite a long time.

i know of the cheaper alternative bandai 1/100 kit, but i got that around christmas time.

here's what a skilled painter did with it.

They show up on Yahoo Japan rarely and Ebay even more rarely....the last one I saw on Yahoo went for like $130-$150. (I think) I have seen them as low as $90 and as much as $200 (on Ebay) E2046 had a kit too, but I believe it is out of stock.

Heh, that skilled painter you speak of is a regular member here.

Of course it will cost you an arm and a leg, it's resin, goes with the territory .

Most I've paid for a resin kit was $400, it was a big model though.

[Culverin]

oh oh oh! good good.

i want to ask the guy's official permission to use the pics

well, at least they're still being sold.

i know somebody in japan so i'll have him keep an eye out for me...

isn't Yahoo Japan just yahoo? in japanese? kinda like yahoo.ca is in candian-ish for us canadians?

why would they sell a model kit?

[Grayson72]

They mean Yahoo Japan auctions. Ebay is the big online auctioneer in the US, it's yahoo auctions in Japan.

[Culverin]

so how do you guys find it. i'm pretty sure you can't all read japanese...

engrish.com

or babelfish?

[Myersjessee]

Yep....Ill watch for one for you and post it in the auctions section under the Yahoo Japan section.

[Culverin]

so i should just keep checking the auctions forum?

question: how exactly does that forum work?

do we have people in japan who can help hook us up? i know a guy who wouldn't mind sending stuff over...

btw, do you want me to send him hunting for stuff? and why do i feel like i'm going to regret i offered?

[Myersjessee]

not sure about sending stuff over...check out Celga.com as a starting point...they, and other companies offer bidding services...since many of the auctions on Yahoo Japan do not offer sales overseas you will need to work through an intermediary. I, and others, watch whats up, and post interesting items in the auction thread...if you keep an eye on that Ill try and remember to post a VF2SS if I see it (there was one just weeks ago...final price just under 90 ) Once you see my note you can go to town.
