fansubs2000 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Quick question here. I have a new 1/48 fast pack set and am considering a trade with another MW member for a loose Jefire. He feels it's a fair trade and i feel differently. Personally i love Jetfire, but i feel the FP set is harder to come by and worth more then a loose Jetfire. He feels it's a pretty fair trade, so we thought we would take the question to the forums and ask you guys. You know, see what all you experts think! Is this a pretty fair trade for both parties? Enquiring minds want to know Pictures.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 It's only fair if you feel comfortable with it. The table could turn if the FPs were all of a sudden rereleased. Then your friend traded a vintage toy for something that was readily available. It's a crapshoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californium Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 That Jetfire looks pristine. I'd make that trade in an instant. Fast Packs will be released again eventually anyhow. Maybe not for six months. Maybe not for two years. But they'll be out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akabob Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 fri-frou (thats the sound of me whisling at that jetfire) Do it get the jet fire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 A 100 % complete jetfire with all accessories goes between $140/150 on ebay. Yesterday "Luft Toy and Model" (you can search it under ebay stores) had a Fast Pack set under the buy it now option for $89. Every now and then a set of Fast packs pops up on ebay. And it's a matter of time but Yamato is going to re release them So go ahead and get that Jetfire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFrenchOne Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Jety looks in great shape and w/ all accesories Imo go for it ! Unless your 1/48 FP is your one only (and i know you do not want to let a yammy naked ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toybotman Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I guess I don't think it's a fair trade. As many have stated, I too believe the fast-packs will be reissued. The Jetfire is a classic, first-generation transformer. If I were the guy with the Jetfire, I'd hold off and wait for the reissues. The 1/48s look cool with the fast-packs, but they're not critical to enjoying their inherit awesomeness. My dos centavos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 If I were you, I would trade now before your friend realizes that his Jetfire is actually worth more than your set of FAST packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fansubs2000 Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 OK you guys, you can stop now cause i feel like a total idiot here. I guess i have no idea what the market for these things are. My trading buddy is a regular here at MW of whom you all probably know well. I guess he was making me a great deal, but i have no clue as to what i am doing obviously. Thanks guy for your honest opinions, they are much appreciated. I've never felt this stupid in a looooong time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Valkyrie Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 It`s a classic and I wouldn`t sell it If I was in his place, If you love Jetfire that much and get this instead : http://www.ncsxshop.com/cgi-bin/shop/MCS-VF1SA.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghadrack Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 No harm in asking if you aren't sure. A lot of it has to do with condition and completeness. I don't think you would be too far off if it was a Jetfire missing a piece of armor and with a broken headlaser or some yellowing and stress fractures, those are not worth too much, look at E-Bay.

Jawjaw Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Prices are one thing but it all depends on which you think is worth more to have. I would rather have the fp set even if it's worth less since I already have a bunch of 1/55's and real ones at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 if its the ONLY FP set you got, dont' trade it. they might be reissued but they might not. if you got more than one FP kit and no jetfire, definitely take the jetfire. and don't feel stupid, its not like each of us knows everything, thats why were here, to help each other out.
