hirohawa Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Does anyone know anyone that has these for sale? I am looking for the Roy or the Hikaru helmet. What are they going for price wise? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 (edited) i do not think these are being made anymore and i am pretty sure they are worth a fortune now, though i could be wrong, Edited October 3, 2004 by zeo-mare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeo-mare Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 yea i think someone on this board has a few i am not sure who, i do not think i have ever seen the body armor for it, it would be cool of they had some of the other parts of the flight suit buy i think it is just the helmet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see too many of these helmets and flight armor's selling. 158,000 Yen for the Helmet = $1,478.57 238,000 Yen for the Flight Suit = $2,227.21 Edited October 3, 2004 by UN Spacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solscud007 Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Yes XS toys has all three helmets and one armor set. Min also has one helmet and armor. Dont knwo anyone else that has one.Good luck steve these things are pretty rare. according to XStoys there were 9 helmets made thats it!!! so he has 1/3 of all the helmets in the world. maybe soemone can refute this or clarify my knowledge. Its kinda sketchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucleartiger Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 I'd love to have one of those, would look great next to my Jolly Rogers HGU33/2 flight helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal_D Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 well, you wonder why only 9 ppl wanted those things, look at the rediculous price. i'm sure higher end motorcycle helmets don't even cost that much. if they made that 200-300 dollars, I bet a lot of us would've gotten one.

phatslappy Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 they look pretty cool. But I was hesitant to get one cuz I heard the helmets are designed for the japanese market; thus they are smaller in size even though they are 1/1 scale. Can XSToys confirm? I got a big head to fit my massive brain, and I wanted to be able to put it on. Would have been even better if it had been DOT approved. Then I could have worn it while riding my bike.

Chowser Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Yes, I agree, they should've made them bigger (I too have a massive head, I can never get shooting glasses that fit). I was working a side job at Harley one night and I was trying on helmets, and even those helmets were too small. And they only cost a few hundred, not over $1000! Yamato should've mass marketed these at $200 or so in different sizes. I would've bought a bunch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me it fits. Whether or not it will fit people with fat heads is a different story. The helmet is top heavy so it has a tendency to tilt down.

hirohawa Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 It would be great if someone here could make one of these for sale. I just don't understand why it is $1500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleddogg83 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 It would be great if someone here could make one of these for sale.I just don't understand why it is $1500. Becuase it is an extremely rare item that was produced in a very small quantity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirohawa Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 But why not charge $200 and mass produce it. What's the point of selling 9 of these at $1500? The tooling costs alone must be more than what they sold them for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LORD KUNGFU Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 damn son, for $1500 smackers, I will custome make you a helmet right now. Just send $1500 to my paypal account, and I will get started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 See, supply and fscl<1/\/ demand you guys! I swear, if we gathered up some casters to do the helmets and upper body armor, and someone to do the leg and arm garments, man you would have your own squadron of Macross fanatic flight suit wearin freaks in every Con across the globe going "Got Minmay?"
