jenius Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Please tell me Orbit in Walnut is some crazy hipster slang for some country where $1 is worth roughly 20 american cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Wow, $699.99, that's gotta be the highest price anybody's ever tried to sell a Yamato YF-19 for. Heh, I guess Yamato Macross plus toy prices are going to end up crazy like Takatoku/Bandai 1/55 prices in the 1990s. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiotheforsaken Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 christ those are pricey. especially the 19. i picked up my 11B FB for a 100 shipped but this, good god. i feel sorry for whoever buys them, especially since the 11 and the 21 are about 65 each that i've seen. i hope they dont sell, cause whoever buys them is getting stiffed.

I feel sorry for kanata, 2 days after he will buy them yamato will come out with the liquid stone version of the yf-19 for a fraction of the price but hes spent all his money so he can't afford to buy anything till 1 day after all stock is long gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 thats just the nerd who owns the comic stores way of showing off his collection.. sure, he'll sell it to you for that price but he's not expecting anyone to buy it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I told them yamato was still in business they said they meant the toys weren't going to be produced again and that's why they were so expensive. When I told them that you could buy them on ebay for around a hundred bucks, they said that those were the FP versions made by a different company. when they saw I was about to ask another question they got very rude and told me those were the prices. These guys are just ripping off fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-18S Hornet Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 (edited) Annnndd where is this place located? And why would they think anyone be crazy enough to buy valkyries for that price? Then again I retract that question considering that their might be someone crazy enought to do it.

EXO Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 It was some girl running the show, when one of us was paying for our stuff she told the guy handing the merchandise "just give it to him!" when he was trying to get a bag for it. When he asked whether or not we cared for the bag the girl gave him an annoyed look like..."what the f'k did I just tell you." It was kind funny. It's ok though, the service was good at the cafe we were at before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promethuem5 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Wow.... I feel at least a LITTLE bit better for paying 90 for a YF-21FP..... a little anyways.... and I feel alot better for paying ONLY 110 for a YF-19 . It's worth more than a hundred, but 700? cripes....

glane21 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I thought original retail on the YF-19 was outrageous after I received the two I ordered (1st issue). I thought they were floppy crap and still do. Luckily others don't feel the same so I was able get rid of them at a bit of a profit .

Radd Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Mitsuwa mall in Chicago has a toy store that's been selling Bandai, Yamato, and even Banpresto Valkyries at far higher prices than you could get them online. I've also seen dealers at anime conventions trying to sell everything from Macross Plus to the 1/48 scale Yamatos at several times the going price.I don't think I've seen anyone actually buy them, though Not at those crazy prices. Still, I hope I can get a few more 1/60's and a couple more 1/48's before their prices skyrocket even from the online stores. I had to scour the net to find an Elintseeker, and I haven't seen any Max VF-1J 1/48ths anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk009 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Well, you can always slap on any pricetag you want...getting the item sold is another question If there is a Buyer...he or she is either blind, has a sugar mummy or daddy or just won the lottery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenGuy42 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 So ah, what is a 21 worth nowadays anyhow? Ebay only seems to get the FP versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk009 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Not sure which version it is though but the 21 can be had as little as US$40 over here, new mib from shops! The most sought after from the M+ line is still the 19 (any edition and flavour, even the VF-19A) and then comes the 11 with Fast Packs I guess the 21 never really made it.

Fortress_Maximus Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Well the YF19s are getting harder to find. There's one jackass of a seller on evilbay trying to gouge 240+ bucks. Gee I wonder why it won't sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiotheforsaken Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 i found a site with some yammie 1/60's there pretty picked over but they have i think 4 different types left at about 40 bucks. www.gundamstoreandmore.com they have good service and decent shipping.

AlphaHX Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 these prices are high but not THAT outrageous given how old some of those collectables are.
