Hi everyone, I got my replacement legs from HLJ, and already swapped in the correct right foot I needed. I now have an extra LEFT foot for anyone who might need one. Not the entire leg, just the foot as pictured. This can be swapped with a little patience (it's how I did mine)

Anyone who needs it, free of charge, just pay shipping.  If you do want it, I just ask that you confirm you need the LEFT foot in Battroid mode. 

Wow...been a real long time since I posted here!

It sounds like the foot can be disassembled with some effort. If there's no glue, I'd be happy with a replacement part.

I need to check tonight if the feet can be swapped, might require cracking the leg open however.

It can be disassembled! It's not the easiest thing, and it's a little scary, but it can be done. Without opening the leg either.

You need to utilize both ankle rockers, and angle the ankle as far to one side as you can. There are two screws on the ankle rocker, one easily accessible near the rear toes, and one up higher. It just BARELY peeks out from the leg.

You gotta flex that inner leg shaft some, but you can get a screwdriver in there. The screwdriver will still be at a bit of an angle, so use a good one, and take it slow.

If you don't want to try for an exchange, or hope replacement parts become available, you can mod the ankle joint to at least sit straight in fighter mode. You'll need to significantly file down the side of the ankle joint that rests against the arm cavity. The first picture shows how much I had to file away, about 1.5mm.

And the part fully filed down and smoothed over.

But that meant I was able to get the foot to sit straight in fighter mode. It's still the wrong foot, but using the ankle rockers in the legs allows it to sit properly in each mode.

It doesn't bother me enough to go through all of the hoops to exchange it. Yeah, maybe 10yrs from now I'll liquidate and when I get to selling the 51's people will ask "Does it have that foot problem?". I'll say yes, and get what I can get for it.

I have more than my fair share of stress in my life. Some things I decide it's best just to let go.

That's how I feel too. Even if I didn't file that part, I was just going to leave it. If I could walk into Target and exchange and inspect it on the spot, that would be a different story.

@anubis20 Sorry late reply. Didn't see your post earlier. But yeah, I checked mine and those parts are facing the same way.  

I wonder if that's where all the confusion is coming from? Since the upper ankle joints are the same, perhaps the workers did not understand the foot was different?

Like the title says, got the original 2010 release Hi-Metal VF-1J for sale, $SOLD. Upgrading to the HMR, and just don't need two.

Figure is in very good condition. It has the usual slight discoloration of the soft plastic biceps, plus a small scratch in the black paint just forward of the canopy.

There may be ever so slight discoloration to a few more of the parts, but I think it's actually that some pieces (the opening back panel for example) are just cast in a brighter white plastic. Just wanted to throw it out there in case. I've also tightened up the ankle and shoulder ball joints with super glue.

Transformed a handful of times, includes all parts, instructions, and packaging. Box is in good condition with minor storage/shipping wear.

Buyer pays actual shipping, I accept paypal only. I'm in the US, but will ship anywhere. Not looking for any trades, reasonable offers considered.

Hi all,

Looking for an intact Hasegawa VF-0D decal sheet, but will definitely take the whole kit for the right price. Looking to spend around $20 shipped in the US.

Let me know if you can help.

SOLD

Hi All,

Looking to sell my old Yamato VF-0S to upgrade to Arcadia's.

Buyer pays actual shipping by USPS Priority Mail, I will ship with or without the box.

Valk has been opened, transformed a handful of times, and some stickers are applied. This is the very first original release, bought brand new and opened by me, and has been displayed all these years.

Shoulders/arms are unbroken and intact. When news first came out of the breakages, I immediately removed the rubber pieces from my still intact shoulders. I then added in some styrene bits to re-tighten the joint, and they've held fine since. Now, when I first disassembled the right arm, there was a tiny crack starting around the ball joint. I glued this, and it has held strong for the last 5 or 6 years. Please see the closeup pics for reference. You can also see a little glue residue on the right bicep, as well as the white pieces not fully sandwiched together. I honestly can't remember if this was a result of my repairs...but I want to say the parts were slightly malformed when it was brand new from the factory.

Joints are all around on the loose side, as is expected from Yamato's products of this era. Nothing floppy, and it does hold poses, but if you own one of these, or the SV-51, you know what you're getting into. The feet like to collapse back into the legs, and the backpack will fall back a couple of degrees, but some careful fidgeting can get it lined up just right.

There is some minor paint wear on the shoulders from transformation, and maybe a little on the landing gear, but that was all I could find. There may be slight others.

Includes all parts (I believe only 1 pitot tube was included, if not, only 1 pitot tube included ), instructions, partially used sticker sheet, and all packaging.

Box has moderate storage/shipping wear, I've photographed the worst spots.

PM if interested, or with offers. Goes to ebay on Monday.

Hey everyone, Ijust got around to picking up this mold today (Wings ver). When transforming to Gerwalk, that big sliding joint that reveals the little machine gun, is it supposed to lock in the extended position? The whole upper body on mine just slowly slides back down. It seems to have a shallow lock in the retracted/ fighter mode position, which seems counter intuitive to me

Went to Tamashii Nations today, amd saw these in person. VF-4 amd VF-0A were early, fixed pose fighter mode only painted up resin samples.

The VF-2 however appeared to be a fully transformable resin proto, and appeared to be perfect transformation. The hip bar transformation mechanism was visible, and looked sturdy. All the transfortion joints in the arms and chest/ back were visuble, as well as the sliders for the rear stabilizer pods. Landing gear appeared to be pop out and replace like the VF-1. Scuplt looked great, except the head, which was a little narrow, with very straight up antennas. Looked loads better than Evos attempt.

Couldnt sneak any photos, since the employee was standing right there. And no relaese date on any of those, just the ambiguous " Display only"

didn't manage to sneak in any photos by any chance? This is where the Vulcan mind meld trick would come in handy...

Fall hard!

Haha, nope, there was an employee guarding it.

Any hint if FAST packs were already thought of? (Like mounting holes visible etc).

Not that I saw, but at this stage, ot doesnt surpirse me there werent any...it didnt even have any joints at all, just a big fixed pose figure.

Saw it in person today. Its huge, however, it was clearly a very early resin test sample: solid parts, no joints, etc. However, there were lights in the visor, shoulder light things, bay doors on the legs....and maybe the gunpod. No other info or pics were ar the event, other than it being listed as DX Chogokin. The scuplt did look very promising though!

Shout out to Jarrod for an easy and smooth transaction with good communication and quick payment. Thanks a bunch!

And likewise, the VF-25G I got from SuperHobo was in excellent condition for a very reasonable price!

Indeed, it is sold!

SOLD!!!

Hi everyone,

Don't post here often anymore, but got an extra VF-25S renewal to let go.

This is the most recent reissue, opened, transformed 2-3 times, and displayed for a few months.

Still in very new condition, no paint chips, joints are all still nice and snug! I did need to tighten the right shoulder ball joint, it was floppy straight from the box.

Hips and ankles are still super solid.

Comes 100% complete, extra hands, hard plastic lasers and Ranka are still unused, sealed in the baggies.

Box is also in like new condition.

USPS Priority Mail is included in the price for US buyers. I will ship worldwide, buyer pays actual shipping.

Should be on the Straight Shooters list here, but also TFW feedback here:

the max's vf-1s has a black heatshield, the photos on the box show a blue heatshield... those are shots of the prototype (which is confusing) but it's definitely normal to have the black heat shield

Ok, Cool thanks. I knew I remembered something about a mix up, just couldn't remember the exact details.

Hi guys,

I just got a used Yamato 1/60 VF-1S Max Ver 2 and see that it has a black heat shield on it. Is this normal? I think I might remember that it mistakenly came with one a few years ago....but it's been a while and I'm not sure.

Like the title says, looking for an unused 1/60 VF-1 Ver 2 sticker sheet or decal sheet. Don't care if it's Yamato or Arcadia, as long as it's the DRYL style.

PM with offers please

Are people still looking for YF-30? I guess every one already have it by now. I'm considering bringing in Macross product, want to see the market for it, so i'm checking in with the community.

While I already have mine, a US based retailer that could offer guaranteed pre-orders for Bandai's Macross stuff at reasonable prices would be something a welcome addition I'd say.

Bought a G1 Hound from Jasonc, for a ridiculously good price. It arrived fast and in the condition exactly as described! Would definitely buy from him again.

Clarification question. Was everything sold or just the Valkyrie? If this was sold split, I would be interested in the strike armor.

Everything is sold

international shipping?

I do ship international yes, but only Priority Mail or EMS. If you're interested, PM me with your location, and I can give you some shipping quotes.

SOLD

Let me start out first by saying that this Valk is discolored/yellowed!!

I've tried to take pics of it as best as possible, but it just does not show up well in photos. It's mostly on the upper/front of the Battroid mode, and most notable on the chest plate at upper chest pieces. Here's some of the best photos I could capture:

Again, it looks better in the pics than it does in person!

Now that that is out of the way, here's the rest of the basics:

Besides the yellowing, Valkyrie is in great condition. 100% complete with all parts, missiles, gunstrap (no pictured), etc. There are no broken parts, however I have repaired a small crack on one of the intakes (I believe this is common).

I've made two small mods to the original Yamato right hand. I've added a small styrene peg to line up with the whole in the gunpod handle. I've also cut off, and reattached the trigger finger to better wrap around the gunpod handle. The finger is secured reattached with metal pin, and is still articulated.

The included Strike/Super Parts are in like-new condition, and include all parts that came with the set.

Also included is a set of recast, fixed pose hands. I can't remember who made these, but I think they were an original design. They were painted a matching color...but they don't really match anymore thanks to the discoloring.

Stickers are partially applied, and are nearly all Takatoys aftermarket stickers. The partially unused Takatoys stickers are included as well. The original, nearly unused Yamato sticker sheets are included as well, with 2-3 stickers applied already.

The VF-1S box is included, but does have some decent storage/shipping wear. No Strike Pack box is included, but both sets of instructions are.

This would be a great base for a custom!

Looking at $150, obo, plus shipping. And I would be willing to split the set.

Awesome thanks! Just bought it. You ever used them before?

Looking for the one seen attached, not the larger more toy-like one.

I know these are not that common, and I really don't want pay $100 or more for it. Looking for something more around the $50 ish range.

Anyway, un-built is preferred, but I'll take a complete, built one with stickers applied or unapplied, as long as there is NO painting done. Needs box and instructions as well.

Jarrod

Both still available. Lowered the prices a bit. Going to ebay this weekend if no one bites.

Been a while since I've posted anything over here....

Anyway, there's gotta be someone out there who doesn't want to pay $300 for the new YF-19 right?

I'm in the US, looking for Paypal only, and not looking for any trades. US Priority Mail IS included in prices. I should be on the straight Shooters list here, otherwise I have great feedback at TFW2005 (same name)

1/60 YF-19 w/ Fast Packs: $150 shipped w/o box, $165 with Box. YF-19 has been displayed for a number of years and transformed a handful of times. Some stickers have been applied, and are in great condition. Comes will all parts, including Fast Packs (not pictured), Yang figure, stand attachments, instructions and partially used sticker sheet. Does NOT include Fold Booster or fold booster stand. The right leg has a small cut/tear in it near the landing gear door. This cut appears to be glued. For the life of me, I can't remember if it came like this, or if I did it...I didn't even remember it being there until I took these pictures. It does seem to be solid. Also, on the Gunpod handle, I've added a small piece of styrene to help is sit straight in Fighter mode. Still holds in perfectly in Battroid. Besides the small defect in the shin, the figure is in otherwise fantastic shape, no broken parts, nothing appears stressed, even the fighter "neck" pieces under the cockpit. They are both intact.

1/60 VE-1 Elintseeker V1, $SOLD I've modified the radar dish to sit lower and be articulated using some Kotobukiya (or maybe Hobby Base) joint parts, for a better look, IMO. It's also been panel lined with an oil wash. I've owned this thing since it first came out, so it's been displayed for a while, but only transformed a few times. There's a few nicks in the paint around the hips/intakes, but very minimal. Most stickers have been applied, and I could not find the remainder of the sticker sheet. Includes ALL parts and instructions.

Forgot to mention, both boxes have minor to moderate storage wear, for those interetsed in them. And feel free to shoot me a reasonable offer, moving in a few days and don't really want to take these with me.
