    What do used 1/48 VF-1S sell for?

    in Toys

    Posted

    i just picked up a brand new one for $110- which IMO, isn't bad. i was going to wait for th re-issue but couldn't be patient. :)

    now, even though i know the first release has its problems, i think in the long run, it'll be worth more.

    if you think about it, some of the yamato's, i.e original yf-19 goes for way more than the re-issued ones. kind of strange that people know about the "hip" problem and the weird "tab thingy" that seems to break, yet they still pay more for it, just because its the original.

    i think all the imperfections such as the crooked skull printing and yellow paint that was left off the backpack is what makes the original 1S more "unusual" and worth more overall. and as with all re-issues, it will never be worth more than the original release, especially the first production run......but thats just my opinion. :)

    if they increase the branpresto line i'd buy a whole bunch!

    i like that the BP are affordable for "army building" but kind of pointless to get them if they don't make any enemy mecha. :(

    i would love to see a mini glaug, q-rau, and all the regults and it varients. if they plan to make them i'd score dozens of them for sure....but i highly doubt, that they'll invest in the line. :(

    i know HLJ are selling the brownie and vj-1j non-FP, for $3+.

    Okay. . . not to sound like one of my favorite moderators here. . .

    But geez guys! How anal can ya get!?!

    They're hands! :p

    I mean, it never occured to me that the hands might not be perfect until people started ranting about them a few months ago.

    i don't know times, people, and places but i do know i did NOT like the hands from the get go.

    the hands would be fine by me, if a certain company that makes *cough* MPC's *cough-cough* didn't make better ones. sad but true, as it was pointed out in another thread.

    i hope they make it in light grey, *crossing fingers* as i am not too fond of white since it tends to yellow over time.

    however, i don't mind the red high-lights as much as yourself since i happen to be a 1J kind of guy but i can see how the paint could be boring. i find the other 1/48's(excluding low-viz) paint schemes kind of YAWN myself since there seems to be no disguishing marks of any kind other than a blue stripe here and a red stripe there.

    BTW, i'm not complaining, i'm just stating my opinions....well sort of. ;)

    i'm down for the cause!

    i too would like some TV style hands available. whether it comes with it or if yamamto sells them seperately, i would buy them for sure.

    anyone doing any kind of resin casts for different 1/48 hands? if so hit me up or someone point me in the right direction please.

    thanks! :D

    those pics look pretty good! :)

    well, one problem i having with yamato in general, is the lack of "hands" included and/or available. <_<

    sculpting a hand is not that hard and doesn't cost that much to make, especially those TV style hands. personally like the the TV style hands as opposed to the petite ladies hands the 1/48's have now.

    yeah they're articulate, but they were only designed to hold a gun and thats it! for 150 big ones, i think yamato could've done better. *whine*

    i would really love it, if yamato included 5 sets of different hands with each 1/48.

    not to sound like ned flanders, but we need some lefty gun gripping hands that aren't silly looking.

    yes for sure, it'll be a bit pricy but really cool if someone pulls it off.

    i was thinking about scoring a bunch of branprestos for just this reason. i just check HLJ and they're having a super sale on them....$4- each. perhaps thats the route i should go but my only problem is, i don't see them making any enemy mecha....ever! :( if i had some guarantee, i would buy them up by the truck loads.

    BTW, i too have 100+ lego stormies and clonies to consider them an army. i plan to make a mini movie of sorts when i have some time...Star Wars vs. Macross. but i think my SW army and fleets would vastly out number the valks i own. ;):lol:

    does anyone know where i can upload images to be posted here on MW?

    i know theres a bunch of sites, but many have rules that won't allow you to post pics that are not directly related to the site.

    *added*

    ewilen, you got the right idea, my sentiments exactly! now only if yamato would.........

    i would like to say i'm an army builder but........i'm too broke right now. :lol:

    i mentioned this before cause i'm into having multiples, especially enemy mecha.

    personally, i would like to see all the battle pod varients, q-rau, and glaug.

    if the bat. pods are cheap enough, i would buy something along the lines of 50 over time. :o

    the q-rau i KNOW is going to be expensive so i can't see me buying more than 4-5 total and i believe the glaug will be the same. now, don't get me wrong i'd love to have an army of them too but the price tag is gonna hurt and i'll probably be able to buy 5 bat pods for every 1 q-rau/glaug. B)

    as far as valks go, obviously a skull squad, and a s**tload of brownies! i'll probably try and do this with the 1/60's seeing as they are the most affordable as of now...$25-$30 or so i'm talking atleast 20-30 of them over time.

    my pockets are NOT that deep, actually they aren't deep at all, :lol: but i know how to save my money. every week i put aside $20- for each macross item i want. if it means i'm eating ramen for a few months, thats fine by me. ;)

    i have a fund going for the 1/48 1J, another low-viz, the reissue 1S, monster, the q-rau, and RDF if it ever comes outs, an SDF-1 of some kind and anything else i have my eye on. i don't make much but i only have to support myself so its not too bad. :)

    i really do hope to win the megamillions though! i'd clean out yamatos entire factory....heck i'd buy yamato! :lol:
