Major Focker Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 long-time macross fan but noob collector here, so need some quick advice someone's offering me a 1/60 VF-1D, but i just recently got the super ostrich. and the one i'm really hunting for is the 1/60 VF-1S Strike Focker.. do you think the 1D is a worthwhile investment for reselling later on, or that i could use it to trade for a VF-1S Strike? thanks.

ShadowerV2 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Personally I think you might be better off just waiting and seeing if someone will have a 1/60 Strike for sale instead of taking the risk that someone might want to trade the srtike for a 1D.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) I was going to say if you haven't got a 1/60 VF-1 yes but you already have a VT so nah don't bother. VT rocks btw. Edited October 2, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 i like my 1D (the only 1/60 i kept from my first collectings) but id hold off a bit. I have tyhe growing feeling we'll see new Yamato 1/60 VF-1s... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Go get it It's one of my favorite 1/60's VF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneWolf Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) do you think the 1D is a worthwhile investment for reselling later on No. If anything, the non-Fast Pack 1/60 VF-1's have actually depreciated over time.

do not disturb Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 considering its one of the only VF-1D toys out there, its definitely worth owning. as far as future invest for resale, its a crap shoot like anything else. if you like it buy it, if you just want to sell it later down the road, why even bother? why not spend your money on something you actually want to own.

Fly4victory Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) Unless Yamato reissues an improved 1/60 VF-1 series the old ones are all that exist. If it is at a good price and good condition get the VF-1D. Also recommend getting the Elint. Edit: cannot type.

miriya Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 The VF-1D is one of my favorite valks because it is the first one that we see transform in the series. I have been wanting to get the Yamato vf-1d for a while but have not gotten around to it. It is the only transformable vf-1d there is available at this point and so if you like this valk then it may be worth getting. It is also more and more difficult to find although it may have decreased in value. I agree that it may not be a great investment idea. We do not know if they will make another better one or not. I hope to get one too but there are so many great valks that I want it is hard to figure out which ones to get first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolf Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 The 1D is nice, but I'd go with the strike 1S Focker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 thank you everyone for your thoughts. i'm now inclined to pass on this one. how much is a good price for this by the way? that might just change my mind VT-1 and VE-1 on the way. can't wait! the hunt continues for the elusive VF-1S Strike..
