hi there, just like to once again thank everyone for their replys. just to answer some questions, I do actually have all the bandai/yamato re-issues(except for the 1/48s) but at the end, I much prefer the taka's. It's just slightly different when comparing to a re-issue. Thank you for your help everyone! Tai

thanks ewilen, the information you provided helped me alot, thanks again. in a way, Iam alot happier now. Thanks everyone who replied^^I know like my new toy! Tai

hi there, thanks to nemesis120 for the link, yep that was the one and reading it now, I supposed i might have misread it, so I guess it was not the seller's fault but mine. I should have read it again before buying it. oh well, I would like to thank everyone for helping out. Tai

the takatoku marking on the toy,

the sticker sheet

I havent got the auction link anymore as it was brought outside ebay. basically, it was auctioned on ebay, i bid on the item but got outbid. As the winner didnt pay up, the seller offered me if i still wanted the toy, i did, and i brought it.(this was about 7-14 days after the end of the auction) all i can remember in the auction was he states that the figure is MIB takatoku VF-1J. unplayed with condition(which is true, toy is in excellent condition) that was all, it showed a picture of the item in its tray. i could have never guessed it had a different box. the word takatoku can only be found on the marking on the toy, nothing else states its a takatoku otherwise, with matsushiro stated clearly on the box(Space Fighter its called) the other thing is, it comes with a takatoku sticker sheet but it hasnt got the markings that folds the sticker sheet in half, could be a repro, im not sure but it does have TT on it. i enclosed some pictures. please more information. Thank you all for reading. Tai

Hi everyone, I just spent US$150 for a MIB takatoku VF-1J Hikaru but when it arrived, I noticed it had a matsushiro box instead, great, I fought maybe I found myself a rare item, but when I look into the toy, it is actually a takatoku VF-1J, just felt hard done by, its the wrong toy in the wrong box! i dont think the seller will refund me back either><, anyone know any more about the matsushiro/takatoku difference? Im sure its in the wrong box as the vf-1j has takatoku clearly marked on the toy. I hope someone can help!, otherwise anyone want to but it?? Thank you for reading, please help me! Tai

Hi there, I just saw this on ebay and I was just about to bid on it but notice something not right about the item. heres the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3149857581 first I notice the red and blue lights just below the knees on the legs which the real version dont have and also the fact that the heat cover just covers the canopy that usually shows if its a re-issue or not with the line markings on top of the nose cone. I hope someone can help. Thanks! Tai
