  1. ^_^ I thought this was a pretty nice buy, and it finally arrived in the mail! ^_^

    Makes up in some ways for the misses on the 1S/1J bookends, and I think it comes pretty close to RT Junkie's bookend buy for $150. I wouldn't have been online normally at that time, but I'm sure glad I did. And to think it was due to another VE-1 I was hoping to snare for a good price (which I didn't). But that's another story. :wacko:

  2. I guess I waited long enough.

    WARNING SCAMMER ALERT

    Name: Biff Tieu Aik Chuan

    IC No: S732730E

    Email: bifftieu@hotmail.com

    Phone number: 94373713

    Address: BLOCK 727 ANG MO KIO AVENUE 01-4246

    ANG MO KIO , 560727.

    Singapore

    These are the details I received when he requested payment for items he supposedly had.

    Paid him $168 for three Zoids items. He disappeared the day he got the money.

    BEWARE SCAMMER ALERT

    I'm from Singapore. I can tell you that the Identity Card number is missing a number and the address is incomplete.

  3. haha, yeah so instead of trying to make $280+ off one valk, he can get another $20 to make it an even $300....not including shipping of course. ;)

    That is if everything sells at their respective prices, right? After the first round, there may be parts that eventually may have to go for much lower, depending on demand and supply. May even out in the end, who knows.

    Interested in getting the intake covers, but they come with the whole chicken wing of the hip and torso plate and what not. Damn.

  4. My best experiances are from those sending stuff from Asia. Its always excellently wrapped and only tends to get dammaged by Parcel Force (read Parcel Farce) the parcel service for the Royal Mail (they tend to get all EMS).

    I am from Singapore and my experience with Asian sellers actually vary quite widely.

    I have great faith in anything shipped out of Japan, but the packing standard from Hong Kong sellers vary quite widely. You would do yourself some favor if you tell them specifically that you want the item to be put in a bigger outer shipping box, with packing peanuts or bubble wrap between the item and the box, or they may just stuff it into the smallest possible box they can find, use the bare min of insulating material, and throw it in the mail. Singapore sellers, heh, I take pride in packing well when I sell in eBay.

  5. Thanks very much for the suggestions.

    The auction listed the items as "decals unapplied, complete with all accessories". Both descriptions turned out to be untrue. Trouble is, the pictures showed only the items in their 1/55 Battroid Valkyrie boxes, and the window on the boxes only show the valk. I suppose I should have asked for pictures of the Valkyrie boxes open with all the stuff laid out in full view, but then again, even if the photos were put up, how I am to prove (beyond recording on video the process of me opening the shipping carton right down to the opening of the Valkyrie boxes) that I received the items without the missing stuff, I really don't know.

    Hard lesson, because I paid A LOT for these. Really down about it. Crap.

  6. Hi,

    This is going to be a long shot, but I've got to try: Recently bought some 1/55 Vintage Takatokus off eBay that turned out to be incomplete and not as described. All I can say is, I should have believed the things I read here about certain eBayers.

    I'm aware of the eBay claim process, but I wonder how on earth I'm going to proof that some items were missing when I got the stuff.

    To cut a long story short, I am looking to get the following items to complete the 1/55s:

    VF-1J Rick - Paperwork and sticker sheet, missles all on sprue.

    VF-1J Max - Paperwork and sticker sheet, missles all on sprue, gunclip.

    Thanks for any help that you guys can provide.

  7. That damn VF-1S bookend set is the only piece left to complete my sorry-ass Toynami line.  But over $600 with shipping............. screw that  :angry:  Guess I"ll just have to keep expanding my Yamato line... probably more bang for the buck anyway  :D

    forgive my ignorance, but apart from being rare ... what so special abt the bookend? how is s quailty of that item ? top notch ?

    :ph34r:

    I like the sculpting, especially where the hole is blasted in the battle pod's cranium, the raw feel is great. Can't say the same for the Valkyrie though, but the pose is awesome. Nothing moves on these babies, but probably the better for it since it's Toynami.
