  1. Run like hell. Don't look back, that's when that monster will get you.

    Hey!

    Yeah I did, I bought a couple of Valks from them. Got messed about with a VF-1D which I eventually got a refund for but the other transactions went ok. It was only after that I heard ppl talking about them and their ebay store and having trouble with them..

    Saying that though now I wouldn't purchase from them.

  2. Just a little shout out for Caslon for all his help! Received my VE-1 from him today and she is sweet! Packaged very well and completely undamaged! I couldn't be happier with my investment!

    Anyone considering buying from Caslon can honestly buy with confidence! He comes highly recommended!

    Cheers Cas! =)

    I love this place!!!

  3. Although not a forum member but I purchased a MISB Yamato v2 1/60 VF-1A TV version from ishop2go. It was very well priced ($160) delivered and it arrived super fast! (5 days) and was packaged extremely well! They seem very trustworthy! Just sayin

  4. I cant say I really like the paint job on it.. looks a little too busy. And whats with the tinted cockpit glass?? yuck.

    On the other hand it would be good to get one being the first Valkyrie released by Arcadia and the collectible factor that would go with it of course but im just not liking the look of it at all. =(

    Hopefully all those smaller decals on the chest plate and legs don't come pre-applied. Even the 30th anniversary logo on the blast shield would be good not there.

    On the plus side its a "J" which are my fav variant!

  5. Well, damn I got suckered by Esthertool as well. It turns out he is also the owner or associated with www.maximabuy.com both on eBay and his website. I purchased a VF-1D 30th Anniversary version with optional parts back on 4/14/13 for $269.31 with free shipping. I'm listing the link to the item below, but please don't be fooled like me.

    http://www.maximabuy.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=32577

    I thought it was a decent price compared to everywhere I looked. Anyway, the order status says it was processed, but no shipment info ever got updated. I asked the seller for the tracking # several times and he would take days to respond only to say that he shipped the item and that he would provide the tarcking # very soon...which he never did. One of the e-mail he responded back was from Esthertool the others from Maximabuy, both with the same e-mail address: dir@himsel​fin.info.

    I thought maximabuy was a good site as I did buy a Figma Legend of Zelda Link from them off eBay and that transaction went fine. I waited nearly 2 weeks dealing with this seller before I disputed the transaction with Paypal. It took Paypal less than 24 hrs to refund my money once I escalated the claim which tells me he admitted the item never shipped and agreed that my money should be refunded. It pisses me off because he has 2 oe 3 of the VF-1D's on eBay for about $325 each right now so it isn't so much that he doesn't have them in stock, he just refuses to honor his store's price. Maximabuy blatantly held my money for as long as he could, probably waiting to see if the VF-1D's would sell for a higher price on eBay first.

    Esthertool / cherrtab and maximabuy should be blacklisted or at least be noted that the buyer must beware.

    I also bought (or tried to anyways) a VF-1D from Maximabuy but after a week of no reply from them even after I had sent them several emails I got an out of the blue refund from them with virtually no explanation.

    I thought it was a little strange as I had purchased 6 items from them previously. 4 from their ebay store "crystalquick" then another 2 from their Maximabuy website. The purchase of those first 6 items went relatively smoothly other than slow email responses but then he messed me about a little with the VF-1D.

    Didn't feel I would really make much fuss about it at the time as I have dealt with my fare share of painful sellers in the past but after seeing that they had been named and shamed in the blacklist by several people I would've thought twice about buying from them.

    I guess I had been lucky with the other valks I bought from them!

  6. Howdy folks!

    I am after a Yamato 1/60 (v2) VF-1A Max type TV version if anyone has one they would consider selling to me?

    Preferably I'd want one MISB but I will take an opened item if its still "as new" (with minimal or no transformations) with all parts included and box undamaged. Without being too fussy! ;)

    If you can help please feel free to PM me!

    Many thanks!

  7. If you have one of these preferably in new unopened condition and are willing to sell would you please let me know!

    And or a VE-1 Elint Seeker DYRL 1/60 v2

    Many thanks in advance
