neoexcaliber Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Wow got this in the post today. Really fast shipping from HLJ. Has the toy yellowed or is it still pristine? I didn't expect a toy from 2 years ago to suddenly be in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eXis10z Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I've yet to open it up. It's been a busy weekend. Do these have a history of yellowing with age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I've yet to open it up. It's been a busy weekend. Do these have a history of yellowing with age? None that I know of. Mine is still white outside the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) I have three of them and they have been on display since purchase (away from direct sunlight I might add) and none of them show any signs of yellowing in the slightest! In fact none of my (nearly 30) DX Valkyrie's show any signs of discoloration! and that includes any of the ones that I purchased second hand and not knowing their entire display history.. Good job Bandai! good job. Edited November 6, 2016 by spanner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizman Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 You guys have me paranoid now, whenever this thread gets a new post I have to check and make sure the YF-30 isn't back up for sale somewhere else . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it came from HLJ and it's the last stock they have, it would be best to inspect it. You still have 8 days to go. In case you're wondering I said that, better check their policies. Just FYI.

Even the 19Adv! yeah its good but it sure isn't 35k (on or about's and sometime more) good.. I'd more than happily pay 37k for a CF VF-1J and appreciate it for the rarity that it is but not for either of the aforementioned pair.. yeah I have 3x 30's.. sometimes not really sure why but im still glad I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you're just happy that you didn't pay Y37K for each of your Chronos.  I guess it's got demand now because of Macross Delta. Or probably it's one of those cases like VF-11C.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only got one cos it exists as truthfully its down the order in my list of favorite Valkyries.. I guess the fact they demand great money does make it a bit more special and yes I paid stupid money for mine and I am glad I did but yeah why oh why is it worth so much!?!? mysteries of the universe material right there..

seti88 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) A case of a lot of demand and very little supply! Plus having pics of valks in the macross forums does help a "lil" bit.. Edited January 19, 2017 by seti88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchieNov Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I don't think a CF VF-1J deserves anywhere near 37k, nor do any other existing Valkyrie toys. The infated prices they command on the aftermarket is just based on supply and demand, which don't really correlate with its quality or real value.

ArchieNov Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 A CF VF-1J? Actually no, I don't But if you have the obsessive need to collect each and every 1/60 valkyrie mold/color combination there is, then it's a given that people will spend almost anything just to complete their collection, even if that missing piece happened to be the most unpopular one while it was still widely available.

Sildani Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Not more or less limited than any other VF these days. As for a reissue, perhaps, but you're best off waiting for the VF-31A Kairos to be released - it's very similar - unless you love the 30's paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
