My list is this (in order of importance)

1) Takatoku GBP-1S Armor Set

2) Takatoku VF-1J Max Valk

3) Takatoku VF-1J Hikaru Valk or VF-1A Ben Valk

4) Bandai VF-1A Bandai Valk

5) VF 1/100 Takatoku Valks (Max or Millia Preferred)

6) Bandai VT-1 Super Ostrich (is the most important, but holding out if family wants to get me something great for christmas or Bday)

Anyone willing to send me a price or stuff they would like to trade for one of these, I am all ears. Also, please explain conditions and defects, if any, and what rank you would give the Toy and box.

Thanks

Ben

P.S. I know I can get this stuff on ebay, but I don't want to have to ship from malaysia to get it

Oh, found something else I would like to have as well if there are any sellers

- Matsushiro 1/55 scale VF-1J

I didn't even knew it existed until I saw this and learned the history that Matsushiro made a VF-1J before they made the jetfire.

If anyone has one that is in nice shape, I will pay nicely for it

Here, as promised, finally got around in taking pics of my lovely 1/100 Taka VF-1J Max! The toy is in excellent almost like new condition, all complete with instructions, leaflet and unapplied stickers. The box is in great condition with some shelf wear.

Got a couple of PM's in regards whether the VF-1J came with a gundpod. Mine does not and from I know, the only 1/100 Taka VF-1 with gunpods were the VF-1S and VF-1A Cannon Fodder, please correct me if I am wrong.

I always thought there was some strange conspiracy regarding some sort of shortage of 1/100 gunpods to. I even posted a poll in the Toys section earlier this year.

It turns out though, all the 1/100's came with gunpods. Noel offered up the best reason for the shortage; the 1/100 does not come with a place holder in the styrofoam, nor does it attach to the arm of the Valk. This lead to thousands of kids loosing or seperating the gun from the toy.

I believe you were mislead, I was told specifically by a vintage toy seller that only the 1/100 VF-1S and VF-1A Cannon Fodder came with gunpods. No reason were given why others did not come. The way to spot which valk comes with a gunpod is supposedly by looking at the back of the box. There is a blueprint of the valk and if there is a gunpod printed then...voila, the toy should be equipped with a gunpod!

Well the auction also includes two gunpods of different sizes ;)

Not sure what that proves. The guy apparently had a loose ARII gun pod and threw it in.

Here is the thread from a few months ago:

http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...049&hl=1100

Noel has been a dealer/collector for longer than Macrossworld has been around, so I would consider him an expert.

There's also the fact that a seller on ebay sold all 4 1/100 valks on ebay recently (newtererubi) and all had gunpods. A fellow collector from ToyboxDX acquired a VF1J Hikaru recently with a gunpod. Neither box had a gunpod pictured on the back.

My VF1S and VF1A have gunpods pictured, but neither came with one so I dont think that proves anything.

I'm gonna stick with these facts and say that yours is missing the gunpod.

I own all 4 TT 1/100s and the Bandai one, and some came with gunpods, some did not. I just think the ones that don't have them are just missing the gunpods - - not that they weren't sold with them. I also believe that I've seen all 4 TT 1/100s for sale with gunpods. Unfortunately, unlike the 1/55s we've not seen enough of these toys around to make a really educated assessment. Also, we'd have to find a "NRFB" toy to have proof that it didn't come with a gunpod as it's of course always possible for someone to have added one to a toy they sold later.

Annnnnyway, regardless, I love me some 1/100 Valks!
