Agent-GHQ Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Hey guys, I wasn't sure if the VF-1S Super Valk 1/55 by Takatoku came w/ the black heat-shield. Can someone please verify and confirm. I can't remember if it did or not. But I do know the Strike Valk came w/ the heat-shield. Maybe it did not came with one b/c I did not see it from the photo album of 1/55??

BoBe-Patt Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 yes, it did NOT come with a black heatshield. Why? I don't know. Only bandai was the one who started incorporating the clip on heatshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I don't think that link works. If it's to the ebay auction, i also will be bidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginrai Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 The Takatoku Super Valkyrie definitely does not come with any kind of detachable heat shield. Instead the canopy is a tinted brown color, kind of like sunglasses. There's a skull sticker for the canopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Wow, that Super VF-1S went for a lot more than I expected, considering the average price for vintage Takatoku and Bandai VF-1S valkyries is around $250 now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 That price can still be considered a steal since several years ago when it would have easily been worth $1,000 and possibly more. Especially since it's rare to see one in such great condition, both the toy and box. For my Taka Super VF-1S, I use an extra black clip-on heatshield that came with the 1990 Bandai VF-1S. I also have a red one that I use for my Bandai Strike VF-1S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent-GHQ Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) You're bidding on the Super 1S isn't it? i wanted to bid on it as well but the bugger wouldn't let me as im not from the states and my paypay account has to be from US as well 405412[/snapback] yup, im bidding on it. I thought u were from the States. Yeah, the iSoldit are pretty strict about out-side bidders. And too bad this one I just won from eBay did not have that styrofoam piece that fits across the chest. Last, the seller claims that the owner never before transformed the robot but the pics shows the fast pack placed incorrectly. Isoldit never got back to me on that. This shows that something is not right! But oh well, I got it so its all good. Edited June 9, 2006 by Agent-GHQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 so why did you get this again? Did you have two before? You just dropped 500 bills on something you already had. I know you sold them but doesn't make sense because the ones you had before looked a lot more minty than this one. And Isoldit sucks because they charge 15 bucks for shipping already. Which is total BS. I bought a TF from them and they charged me 15 bucks for shipping! The TF didnt even weigh that much, basically next to nothing. Bastids!!

Not to question an obvious uber-collector, but I've found the bone white Taka, when no yellowing is present, still easily demands $400+. I do remember seeing one go for less than that but only once.

In fact, I was expecting the one listed would sell for around $400, but it sold for just over $500. Most offered on eBay are not in that condition and have sold for an average of $250. I bought mine for $300. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=6047604007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Wow great deal. If you wanna turn a quick profit on that I'm looking for one I was actually fortunate enough to get one eons ago for $400. The valk itself is minty white but the decals were applied and some have been worn off. I've been looking to replace it with a mintier one for quite some time now.
