Ever since the XP-38 came out......errr, I mean the Bandai DX VF-1J, the 1/48 Yamatos just aren't in demand....only the "special" releases such as the woodland camo, Macross Chronicle releases, or stealth fetch higher prices...

Hey, thank you for your response! I am a little disappointed, as that valuation is significantly less than I paid for everything... but I completely understand where it is based on the market. Thank you again!

Hello everyone. I have put up my 1/48 Yamato VF-1J Hikaru w/ Super/Strike parts for sale on ebay but I do not really know if my price is fair. Can I get some guidance from the community on this, based on the condition, etc? It is located at - https://www.ebay.com/itm/202734192803

The relevant info is: 1/48 Yamato VF-1J Hikaru with box. Super/STrike parts set without box. the Valk box has wear, Valk has panel lining, there is paint damage on the underside (where it rested on a display stand), no box for the super/strike parts. Have it up for $400 incl. shipping. 

Based on other 'sold' items I feel like I priced it correctly but I am not even sure. Thank you all for any guidance.

To be fair, the only brand confusion was with Matchbox when they summarily invented names and Palladium ran with them. The original Macross names are used commonly throughout Robotech; Valkyries are called Valkyries, Defenders called Defenders, Regults called Regults...

regarding the YF/VF - technically aren't all the prototypes called YF before becoming production VF?

VF-4 has been added as a stretch goal...

I don't think this has been brought up before, but I found this cool little SDF-1

apparently the company is closing at the end of the month so if you want to get one (or a dozen), you should probably order soon.

I'm a fool. The piece is in a baggie taped to the underside and I didn't see it.

I have this one and don't see the modified heat shield in the package. Should it be in there?

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a 1/60 Yamato v1 VF-1A Hikaru (DYRL) and a set of the 1/60 v1 GBP Armor, but the armor doesn't seem to fit quite right on the Valkyrie. For example, the chest armor doesn't clip into the cockpit shield, so I have to remove the cockpit shield, so the armor just hangs off the Battroid. Am I doing something wrong, or is the armor just not compatible with it?

I can't tell their shipping rate to the USA. I did see they don't want new users to bid on it (I'd have to sign up and therefore be a new user). So I'd probably have to use a middle man, pay shipping twice, etc. Be well over 600 by the time I'm done

Sigh. I think I will wait. Thank you all though!

Whew! If anyone wants to sell one for $400, please let me know!

Title says it all. I was wondering if anyone knew of any place still selling the 1/3000 Yamato DYRL SDF-1 at a reasonable price.

Thanks for any info!

Doug

Hi everyone,

I had always intended to buy one of the 1/60 Strike Valkyries, and of course, the moment I do, Yamato is out of business

I was hoping someone had an extra 1/60 Strike Valkyrie to sell. I just want one to put on display; I'm not even worried about the box being in mint condition or anything.

I would like one of the version 2 "perfect transformation" ones if possible, without cracked shoulders...

Please email me at judge242 at gmail dot com, or message me here, if you are selling one. Thank you!

Doug
