max Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I've been away from collecting Valks for a few years now because something else had sparked my interest. Anyways, I'm slowly getting interested again and it seems prices on vintage items have come down a considerable bit. Is this the way things have been going or is it something you think is just a blip . . . or is there annoucements of more 1/55's that I don't know about like a new GBP or something like that. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Prices are way down from way back when... but I haven't noticed a continued plunge in recent days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Reissues may be down but the vintage stuff has been going up for all I can see. I scooped up an Ostrich and a Strike when they went down after the 1/48s and reissues came out, but the prices jumped back up before I could score an Elint.

TheLoneWolf Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Vintage 1/55's hit their apex in 2000 and subsequently hit their absolute lowest in late 2002 - 2004, I remember seeing 1/55 Elints selling for $300, lol! Oddly, some vintages have slowly been creeping back up in value, it looks to be mainly the Fast Pack equipped vintages such as the Super, Strike, Elint and Ostrich. I don't think vintage prices will ever again reach the 2000 level, but if Macross F turns out to be a success (and that's a big IF) now may be the best time pick some up.

misterryno Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I can only hope and dream of some of the 1/55's dropping to a price I can afford . We'll see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
