Macross73 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 (edited) is he talking about tisinc99.com? edit : this is the 1/48 macross link at the moment the Max & Miriya are not in stock and priced at about 230.00 nor pre-orders http://tisinc99.com/yama1sc.html#top Edited June 23, 2007 by Macross73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Few places have a worse reputation than Treasure Island Sports. Better known as tisinc99 on Ebay. Also, they don't seem to have the M&M ones at all. Yes, they have $130 1/48 VF-1's, but so does anywhere else if you don't care what version you get.

cowdeathtrap Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Where? i couldnt find any site like the one u mentiond... Yes sorry Iwas refering to tisinc99.com.No they don,t have M&M,S ,that,s what I was refering to when I said that they don,t have any VF-IJ,S w/supers parts,at hlj.com if I,m not mistaken Roy,s VF-1J is out,while it,s in stock in tisinc99.com for $135.00,etc..and what,s in stock there are around those prices.If anyone.s implying that tisinc99.com has a bad reputation that hasn,t been my experience at all,box,s and product looked fine,but if someone has a different story then please let me know.As for VF-1J,s being $130.00 everywhere else,excluding hlj.com ,bigbadtoys.com and sites similar are around the $155-$190 etc.If anyone knows of a site that sells under $130 then please help me out ,as I was only trying to help others out.

miriya Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I have personally had great experience with tisinc99.com . I bought a Queadluun-Rau, a 1/48 VF-1s Roy, a Stealth Super and Strike parts set, a max factory Ignis, and a toynami DYRL Roy figure from them all on separate occasions and had great experience with each transaction. Good communication (except that they did not answer my last email), fast shipping, products coming in perfect condition. Maybe I am just lucky though?

Fly4victory Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Maybe I am just lucky though? Quite! I had a good run with them but when there is a problem it is big. A 1/48 VF-1A woodland was smashed on arrival. It was returned and I requested a different carrier and better packing, instructions were ignored and second one arrived smashed and delivery was refused. TIS ignored my emails and it took Ebay dispute and paypal to get my money back. Not a fun process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to set the record straight, i got my refund for part shipping, and the items that were not sent. BUT THAT'S AFTER I WAITED MORE THAN 2 WEEKS AND MY CALLING THEIR OFFICE IN AMERICA. THE PEOPLE THAT WORK THERE, ARE SPITEFUL, DIRTY, INCOMPENTENT PIG HEADED PEOPLE. AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF THEIR ENGRISH SUCKS!

Macross73 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Tisinc99 never did wrong by me but after reading all the horror stories why take the chance. Toys N Joys on the other hand - well .... that was unpleasant. Frankly their prices go up way too much for my taste. At this point I stick to stores with a proven track record. I'll come back if pricing is decent and items get shipped in a reasonable time frame. Keeping my collecting to just three brands makes this easier if no less expensive. Glad to see on HLJ that the re-issue is complete with FPs. At this point I'm just hoping Yamato completes the major mecha from the Macross Plus. I think I'm about done with Macross stuff atleast for now. I'd like to see the YF-21 and vf-11b and as the next in line and after that ... I think I'll stick to SOC. I dont know. Give my wallet a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altermodes Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 well all i can say to cowdeathtrap is thanks for the advice although i haven't used the Treasure Island Sports service and proberly never will by the way they charge if not just the reputation on this forum and i do not want to take a chance but i am glad you have come here and found out that there is a Lets say " possible? problems and/or conflicts with the Treasure Island Sports service " and i hope the people macross forums have possibly stopped you from getting stung if not stung again especially if you can't afford the money if not time i hope this was understandable and kind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey ,does anyone have a good or bad opinion with toy-wave.com? They,re got M&M,S as "future releases",for $180.00,$20 more than hlj.com,but could be an option if hlj.com,s M&M,S become a thing of the past!!!!!!!!!

ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Ken from Toy-Wave never responded to some e-mails, so i'd give him 5/10. I am glad people got the jist of the crap tisinc99.com dishes out to their random (i sure hope it's random) poor unsuspecting and undeserving customers. You have been warned!

ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 How many people here would buy a proper TV colour scheme of Roy's 1/48 VF-1 with TV FP's? And does anyone think they would re-issue Hik's Super 1J package now that Max and Milia's is out soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_e Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 How many people here would buy a proper TV colour scheme of Roy's 1/48 VF-1 with TV FP's? And does anyone think they would re-issue Hik's Super 1J package now that Max and Milia's is out soon? The only difference I know of between Roy's DYRL VF-1S and the one seen in SDF:M is the color of the arrows on the head unit. Still, it might be worth it if they included a Roy figure in his SDF:M flightsuit. It would also be nice to have another valk packaged with the standard TV-style FAST packs for those who didn't buy the Super Hikaru set.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Forgotten who part mentioned it before, but they should re-issue the Cannon Fodders with Super packs, that would sell big imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RosarioLuv Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 The only difference I know of between Roy's DYRL VF-1S and the one seen in SDF:M is the color of the arrows on the head unit. Still, it might be worth it if they included a Roy figure in his SDF:M flightsuit. It would also be nice to have another valk packaged with the standard TV-style FAST packs for those who didn't buy the Super Hikaru set. IF they release Roy's VF-1S as a TV scheme, they should not only include a tv Purple Roy figure, but also, if they release TV fast packs, the fast packs should come with a TV Hikaru (since he's the one that actually flies the fast pack version). Wouldn't that be cool to be able to display the original Skull Leader with purple roy at it's command? And then later replace pilot with TV Hikaru and TV fastpacks? That'd look so cool. I haven't done a search, but I wonder if anyone has customized their 1/48 Roy with TV packs and a TV Hikaru? (hint: pics pls, anyone).
