If it's a virgin road, I'll take it... and even if it's not, and you have a virgin road to sell for $110 + s/h in anticipation of a reissue with new parts, I'll take it.

So I'm guessing that in the interest of clocking yen, Yamato won't be offering the parts seperately..?

With the potential for reissue I doubt I would go for it at $450, let alone at that ridiculous price...

For the M&M valks though, the rare instances they pop up on overseas proxy services usually show them going for $300 or over (after the yen to USD conversion) after bidding is done. Here's hoping Yamato comes through.

Change in topic real quick, but has anyone ever looked into production run numbers for the VF-1 V2 line and the various models?

They INCREASED the price for these M&M valks!

If I said I was thinking about going for it you guys would stop me right?

Dear Yamato - pleeeeease reissue....

Dude, don't do it... that price is totally unreasonable, and the sellers are just looking to gouge folks. Wait and see what the reissue situation looks like.

I supported it, but even still, even if it doesn't become an "official" Lego release, couldn't the guy just create instructions on how to make this thing?

Meh. Scorthed Earth reviews aren't that helpful. Loose joints on the VF-0 are easy to fix.

I think I was actually more concerned about the loose "spine" on the toy that allows the cockpit area to flop around and causes the air intakes to not lock into place properly. That and the janky sounding feet; not stoked on buying one and finding out I didn't get one that has locking feet... I'm sure there's a fix for most of the issues with the toy, but since I've still got a few VF-1's to collect, I figure that'll give me time to wait for your replacement parts to get dialed before I throw down on a VF-0. Keep up the good work man!

Been wanting a VF-0S for a while now, but with all the joint issues and seeing how floppy the toy is in the scorched earth interview, I just can't bring myself to purchase one. We might as well ask Veef to just design a whole new reissue of it for everyone. lol

ShouId get this reissue with the accesory parts???

I already have the ver2 VF-1D.

I've got one already as well... I'd say the most sensible thing to do is wait it out and see if the parts will be offered seperately. Honestly, with replacement shoulder hinges readily available now and no significant changes to the design, there's really no need to go back and buy a duplicate valk for these parts alone. Save the money for re-releases of valks you don't have already.

After seeing the successful shoulder hinge design from VF5S and his friend, I'd also say it isn't too wild a possibility that someone will simply draft these parts up and make them available on Shapeways in the future.

Payment sent for the M&M VF-1J's...

Defective shoulder hinges are now a thing of the past... all hail VF5SS.

Alright, figured I'd make a permanent For Sale thread rather then starting a new one every time I put stuff up! Apologies to the MW moderators for all the past threads; from now on, I'll just bump this one with updates whenever I decide to sell something. Changed prices to not include shipping in case buyer is local or nearby and can pick up items. PM me for shipping quotes if you're not in Nor Cal! Thanks...

Current stuff for sale:

1) Yamato Macross 1/60 V2 Max VF-1A TV Valkyrie - up for sale AGAIN because I just can't seem to fit him in my case! lol... very good condition, no stickers mounted, comes complete with all accessories. Arrived from HLJ missing the tow hook on the front landing gear, but otherwise no issues whatsoever - $95 (shipping not included)

2) Complete set of Robotech New Generation I-Men - again, no room anywhere for these little guys. Brand new on card - $45 (shipping not included)

Please see new consolidated for sale thread:

Sorry for any misunderstanding Boinger, but I made sure to list it as "Valk Only", bolded and underlined, in the item description up top; the photos I used were the only pics I had from when I first got the valk and before I sold off the parts. Again, my apologies, but I feel it was as clear as I could make it that I was only selling the valk.

Nice to see folks installing the new hinges... I removed and shaved the pins on all my "problem" valks way back and reinforced the original hinges as much as possible, so I'll only be using my shapeways hinges as emergency backups. Feels good to have insurance on hand though!

No longer for sale!

Random question.... does ishop2go charge you up front for pre-orders, or do they only charge when the item is in-stock and ships?

Bump for new low price!

You kids better start playing nice, or I'll make you all pop in an episode of Macross iI.

I don't have a problem with anyone liking Macross 7 or Basara... I just didn't. lol

Picked up 4 pairs so far... good times.

I didn't know if two old ones would fit together in fighter mode. Again, given the space with two revised hinges (which are 1 mm less in diameter on the main hinge) the old ones should be fine.

I'd think it'd be wiser to go with the older hinge... there's enough material to work with (i.e. sand down a bit) to get the fit just right (if someone sticks a pair in) and still have it be strong enough.

When filing down and reinserting the pins on my VT-1, I used some silicone lube, and it helped tons. Probably a better idea then smashing them in dry...
