ewilen Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 I don't think I want to pay for shipping, but if this one turns up in Chinatown or flea markets, I'll get it just for the heatshield (to repaint for my Bandai VF-1J reissue) and the extra missiles.

Sebastian Posted August 24, 2003 Author Share Posted August 24, 2003 To everybody who wants me to get a bootleg for you... Please read. The toy cost me RMB 29 in Carrefour, it is like US 3.508,00 I am not looking for ANY KIND of personal benefit from this. If I am offering help to get this bootlegs is just that... help to my fellows MW members. Please do not misunderstand this as a business. I have no personal interest. Ok? I have no paypal. Sorry. But if you send the money by certified letter or other method no problem. I will send the toy as soon as you tell me you sent the cash. Keep in mind the Shipping cost. maybe you will find this toy cheaper in your country later, maybe not. no idea. Sebastian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull-1 Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 cool. Bandai parts. EXACTLY! These things are PERFECT for making my swiveling thigh mod. You use one arm and one thigh per leg to make the joint and it works like a charm. Oh man I need to get some of these.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Lord Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 This bootleg doesn't look bad at all. Prolly good for replacement parts and most definitely customs. I'd get a couple if I can find them here. Joe P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander McBride Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Ya know, I almost wish someone would make a cheap boot of the Yammie 1/60. It's so much more nicely molded, imagine the custom potential! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted August 27, 2003 Author Share Posted August 27, 2003 Just to let you guys know. The cheapest air way to the states is US$ 19,26. To Singapore is US$ 10,975. Personally I think it is just too much for this Chunky Monkey copy. Better whait untiill the thing appear in your local flea maket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dat Pinche Haro! Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 i saw a VF-1S (Roy Fokker use) on ebay....they were selling 3 of them for $20....but in all honesty i doubt they're even worth the plastic they're made out of...thing is ugly as hell....if they're going to bootleg something they should bootleg a GOOD figure like the 1/60 yamato VF's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewilen Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 (edited) i saw a VF-1S (Roy Fokker use) on ebay....they were selling 3 of them for $20....but in all honesty i doubt they're even worth the plastic they're made out of...thing is ugly as hell....if they're going to bootleg something they should bootleg a GOOD figure like the 1/60 yamato VF's That's the carded bootleg I reviewed on the old board a few weeks before the transition. Although I was very critical of it in many respects, I actually think it's not bad for $6+tax, which is what I paid for it at a local mall. Perhaps the most interesting thing about it is that it's approximately 1/65 scale, and thus should match the Matchbox 7" destroids and Glaug, as well as the Macross 7 toys. Edit: Came across this post several moons later and have to correct myself: the carded bootleg in question is not 1/65 scale--it's the same size (though different proportions) as a 1/60 Yamato.

Sebastian Posted August 29, 2003 Author Share Posted August 29, 2003 Menphis. The carrefour is a french Supermarket Chain, the second in the world. The one where I found the knock off is the Pudong Carrefour. Shanghai, China. VF-1S Alpha. If you want I can take a couple of them to you next January. Calculate the shipping charge a few cents cheaper than Singapore. Chinese post office allways ask too much money. I think the bootleg does not worth so much trouble and money. Let me know if you want me to pick up one, but you will have to buy me a beer in HK!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
