I dunno guys... the items are located in Florida.

Yeah, now everyone's paranoid about buying from anyone in Florida due to the whole Alex/Peter Medina, collector1118, johnthomas1951, mechafreak, etc. thing. It makes you think twice before buying, that's for sure.

Yup, glad to see rnurmin got it. I was watching, too.

(Still, not the seller's fault. Pat and I were just feeling cheap, I guess.)

yeah, I have too many other stuff to buy anyway! :p:D:lol: but still that's a hella good price!

I friggin hate ebay's policy on BIN if someone bids as this YF-19 had a BIN of $59.99 (and that bidder is incompetent).

I was about to buy that too, and the dumbass ruined the BIN. :angry:

drop the guy a email, and tell him that you would like to buy it out at the buy it now price he posted, i have had a few ebayers end auctions for me like this , it sometimes works, just give the guy a email and tell him someone bid and you would like the item for the price he stated, if he is in a hurry to sell, he may just end it for you.

i'm not sure?, i've only seen it one other time(1J max GBP) on ebay about 18 months ago and it went for $80 or something but i think its worth more. seeing as most of us have never even heard of the 1/76 GBP, i think its worth quite a bit...atleast to me.

even the folks that say they got everything macross, this is probably the one toy they don't have or never knew existed....yes my life sucks. :( its my own fault for putting in a wack ass bid to begin with, i only did it to keep an eye out for it cause ebay only lets you watch 30 items....sometimes you gotta bid if you can't watch.

Dude, that guy has been trying forever to sell that item. If I see another one, I'll drop you an email but I've not been interested in it enough to bid.

i just think its cool. it doesn't transform or anything it just has this one cool feature where the 2 seater cockpit chairs slide up and out the neck just like in the TV show. i have no idea what else it does, i just think that feature is unique and thats the only reason i like it.

Good point. The ones over at toyboxdx have the big print in English.

I'll bet these are "semi-bootlegs" like the off-brand transforming SDF-1, the off-brand block system SDF-1, and the Matsushiro 1/55 and 1/100 VF-1J's. I.e., quite possibly made from the original molds (or even the original factory) but not licensed by BW.

I've seen the 1/76 here a few times. Mint in box but the boxes are usually crap with a yellow window. I almost bought one for the GBP but when I looked closely, I noticed how crappy the sculpt was (to me) anyways. I rather pay more for a finished Hasegawa 1/72 Super/Strike Battroid.

The seat ejection is one of the cool factors for it though.

I always wanted one of those after I saw a picture of what it does. The head piece actually faces down and the seats pop out of the neck just like in the first episode of macross when hikaru get out of the orange vf-1d trainer in battloid mode.

good luck on your bidding I wonder what other colors there are? I know I saw a blue vf-1j and the gray one put thats about it.

From Rich

yeah man, those are the only 2 that exist that i know of. as people have said, they're bootlegs, so the company might have gotten busted before they could make anymore. :unsure:

one thing that concerns me is the photo used in this auction is the same exact photo used on the auction i missed last week and both auctions are by the same seller. :blink:

I have one of these, it is in fact a bootleg, but for a bootleg the quality is actually not bad. Mine is white and looks more like Hikaru's VF-1J TV . I too thought the head moving was a neat little gimmick. I was thinking about selling mine as well but since I never see them, its pretty unique so I have held on to it. If anyone wants to see any pictures let me know. Right now its boxed up with all the other stuff from my move. Interesting little toy though.

No, I think those particular ones that the seller is listing may be bootlegs, but the actual ones released in Japan were official BW-sponsored merchandise.

And yes, I believe the Max and the Hikaru were the only types made.
