Does anyone have a set of 1/48 stealth super and strike parts that they are willing to part with for a decent price?

Save saves the day yet again.

Do you really think that large of a percentage of Macross collectors are customizers? Because I have to really doubt that...

Maybe not, but think about the small amount of customizers that can sell custom valks on MW, ebay or else where. Some people are actually willing to pay for that kind of stuff. You could buy 10 white VF-1 at $100 each. Get you some spare heads, slap the minmay guard paint scheme on them and sell them for $250 or more. It may not be cannon, but people do want these things. Hell, the actual companies are putting out cannon color schemes and people are buying those.

How long is this sale supposed to last? I need some time to think. I don't see anything on the website indicating a time limit.

Cool, thanks for the answer CF18.

Considering that I've already spent $1721.80 and counting on 1/48's. Spending half of that for the 1/60's on sale doesn't seem like a bad idea. Now I have to consider if I want to get the 1/60's and put all of the 1/48's I have on ebay. Or maybe I should just keep them both. Decisions decisions.

I like the large size of the 1/48's, but the 1/60's are complete. I don't know what to do now. Maybe I just just grab what the 1/48 line does not provide from the 1/60's. Any who, just posting a pic of what I would like to get. I wonder how long this sale is going to run.

My mistake, I'll repost this question in the newbie answer thread.

I'm confused about the 1/60 scale that has been released. I plan to get some in the near future and I want to make sure I get the right models. When they are referred to as 1/60 Ver.2, does that mean this is a second release or an upgrade of the 1/60 scale to version 2? Or does it mean that Version 2 is the next step after Version 1 with the 1/48 scale being the first version? Since I'll be buying these online, is there a way to tell what version I'll be getting just by looking at the box? It's never specified what version the 1/60's are in the descriptions on websites.

This has nothing to do with being greedy. If the option on an auction item is listed as either "Buy It Now" or "Best Offer", which would you choose?

Please don't turn this thread into something it isn't.

And just to put it out there I will also be recieving a second, yes second LV1, for a ridiculously low price from this very same seller.

Greedy, I think not.

So your going to have 3 of them? Are you trying to build your very own squadron of LV1's?

So what's the storybehind this modle? Where does it fit into the anime? Is this just sometihng that was in the manga?

Mine is in it's way.

No, didn't use the bing cash back but I did negotiate the price to pay $250.00 and not the actual $300.00.

Hey man, your gonna have to stop twisting that knife in my leg. YOU'VE MADE YOUR POINT, YOU GOT A BETTER DEAL THAN ME, WE ALL GET IT!!! NOW GET OUT OF HERE!!!

Taking my thunder and stuff. j/k

It's great that your getting 1/48s, it's great scale to collect. Also, you're doing great considering what you have gotten averages pretty well. Just for future reference, you should keep a far more keen eye out for what you want.

I had already purchased an LV1 for about 300.00 two years ago, and still wanted another. Due to the exhorbitant prices these command I decided to be patient and wait. My patience paid off...

A few days ago I scored this...LV1 for $300 - Includes shipping, Strike Pack, and GBP-1S. Mind you I was saving this for other purchases, but this was just too good to pass up.

Just be patient and look hard, even in places (or titles) you wouldn't normally look under.

You will be greatly rewarded.

Currently a lot of MW members are dumping their 1/48s for the 1/60 V2. Just know that most are used, but what the hell, does it really matter if you can get them all at a great price and decent condition?

Welcome to MW.

Ok, I hate you now. How the hell did I miss that?! This is what I get for not checking ebay everyday. You definitely got a great deal there. You know, I think I did see it, but since it was just the picture of the valk, I passed on it. None of the extra stuff was listed in the title of the auction, so I just took it as the valk itself going for $300. Good find though, really good. I is the jealous.

I just recently started my 1/48 collection. Once I have them all, they'll be strictly for display. I'll get the 1/60 models to play with. They all seem to be going for $100 regardless of which one you get. Sure the limited edition model doesn't have the best color scheme, but I got it dammit. I'm just sorry that I'm just now getting into collecting them. I've always been a fan of the macross series but I never got around to doing research on buying the actual toys. A few years back, a friend of mine went out and got all of the masterpiece collection valks. I almost followed suite but it slipped my mind. Then another friend of mine came over to my house one day and saw Jetfire sitting on the mantle all alone, armored up and ready for action. This sparked our conversation about valks and trying to see if anything was out there.

The rest is history. Since July, I have managed to get super Max, Miria and Hikaru, VF1-A woodland, angel bird, stealth, mass production, GBP armor, Urban armor, clear fast pack covers, 25 anny valk, Hayao DYRL, limited edition low vis (in the mail) and a VF-OS with ghost. So far, this has all cost me $1721.80. I don't think I'm doing to bad. All I need to get now is a 25th anny VF-19, Roy DYRL, a set of super and strike parts and some woodland armor. Save is being nice enough to help me out with those. I know this isn't the definitive complete collection by far, but those are the particular models that I'm after. I chose the DYRL versions for Roy and Hayao because I like the color as opposed to the TV versions. Maybe if I had started collecting these back in 07' when they were first released, they wouldn't have cost me so much. Oh well.

As for those of you that were able to get the low vis limited for less than $250, I tip my hats off to you. I wish I could have been that lucky, but I just didn't see it happening so I had to go for this one. I'm sure one of you wouldn't have been willing to part with yours for less than $250 now would you?

You don't want to pass on these two!!! What I can't figure out is how can this seller not know that the same models are being sold for hundreds less. Hell, I got my woodland valk for $100 and my stealth for $160 about a month ago. You'd have to be real desperate to go for these. I mean really, there is literally a stealth for $118 sitting directly above the other stealth auction. Every time I sell something on ebay, I only go a little above the lowest available price. This seller is just going overboard. I guess when you throw around words like "rare" it drives people crazy or something.

It's a good deal I guess because that is the lowest I have seen. I won't even touch anything on 1/48 though because the line is never going to be complete like V2. I guess this is also the reason it never get sold like it used to be above $300.

What do you mean the 1/48 line won't be complete? I thought once you got all the main characters that you'd pretty much be done.

Wow! After months and months of searching and patience I finally got a 1/48 VF-1A Low Vis Limited Eidition for a non astronomical price. One showed up on ebay for $250 with shipping included. How great is that?! Everywhere I looked for this thing, it was like $300+ and you had to pay shipping with that. Happy days oh happy days. It's condition is MIB. My collection of 1/48 stuffs is almost complete. I had no hopes of getting this thing, but at that price, I couldn't pass it up. There is another on ebay that's been there for some time now. I'd periodically check on that one to see if anyone has picked it up, but it's still there. This particular one started out at like $350. Over the past 2 months since I've been watching it like a hawk undecided on if I was going to get it or not, it's dropped to $314. If your a serious collector unlike myself who couldn't possibly afford something like that, you might want to check it out. Once again I'm happy as hell and I think some congrads are in order.

Outstanding transaction with RDClip. He sold me a yamato 1/48 VF-1A Mass Production and a VF-0S with Ghost. Would I do business with him again? HELLZ YEAH!!!

Just a heads up all. RDClip is taking care of my order. Thanks for the offers everyone.

Would you cosider a panel lined version? With stickers applied?

Could you post some pictures of it?

Does anyone have a 1/48 VF-1A brownie that they want to get rid of???

I would really like to get a Yamato 1/48 VF-1A Low Viz Ver. 1, but not at the cost of my soul. I know they are rare and all, but how much should people realistically be charging for this thing? I think $300+ +$50 shipping is a bit much. Is it really worth that much??? I know people want to make a profit, but got damn. How much was it when it was fist introduced?

I could just picture Revy piloting a Q-Rau and curssing her ass off lol. She'd be so foul mouthed in battle. I love it.

I couldn't resist before going to bed:

Nice custom fold booster pack. Or did the picture just come out wrong making it look like it's painted black?

Apparently there are newer reissues of Isamu's YF-19 that have the improvements made in the new repaints. I ordered a YF-19 today from an HK seller on eBay that claims to be selling one of these reissues. I'll report on it when I get it; I really hope it's okay.

Will you be able to send it back to the seller if he didn't sell you the reissue or are you going to keep it? If everything checks out, link me to the seller so I can get one also. How much are you paying for it if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks for the heads up on the 25th model Vegas.
