VF-18S Hornet Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Well It seem I won't be able to complete my vermillion Squadron as I waited too long to get Kakizaki from Angolz.com, damn state taxes. And I checked out Amiami no luck there I tried to go to overdrive, But I think I got the web address wrong and came up with something else. But did manage to snag a1/60 VF-1J max when HLJ discontinued it just like Kakizaki. Does any one have a link to Overdrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

typhoon Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 thanks I'll try toy wave, keep it up guys I haven't given up. I have been on the same quest for a while now. I have had one on back order with Anime Export for a few months, I just received an email saying they could no longer source it!! The TV Kakizaki's seem to disappearing from all the usual sources. I decided not to take any chances and grabbed one from Ebay last night. I payed a small premium but the seller had it bundeled with a super parts set. With shipping it set me back $120 which I can live with. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-18S Hornet Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) Nice pickup, you got a better deal than I did. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks, once I get it, my vermillion Sqaudron will finally be complete. Oh yeah earlier I stated that state taxes were responsible for delaying me from getting it when it was still available at Angolz it was also getting a PS3 that also delayed me but then again I have not been back on the site and busy with work since I purchased the Double Nuts I wasn't keeping track of it. Still my fault, but it turned out for the best I got you guys helping me out. Edited May 30, 2010 by VF-18S Hornet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came across that Kakizaki when I was looking for a VF-11B, which I found on the same site for $124. Quite a good deal me thinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I just hope it's not one of those sites that doesn't update their inventory, and you get an email a few days later saying they're out of stock or backordered (stupid Toys n' Joys). Oh well, may we all be happy with our TV Kakizaki VF-1As. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skizz Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Hehehee!! I dealt withem once before on a VF-27G and was quite pleased with the service, but I guess we'll know soon enough. They should ship my VF-11B in a couple of days and I imagine Darkwind's Kakizaki as well. Will keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a confirmation that my VF-11B shipped out today!! Last time it took them about 3-4 days, just like this transaction to ship. How did it go with the Kakizaki?

DARKWIND Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 No deal. They are going to give me a full refund. Trust me this thing is getting harder and harder to nail down each time.

But I can't make a move till I get that refund back. You know how it alloted funds and all. I might just have to wait till next month and keep trollin' ebay till I get lucky. And yeah I think its strange how this one is so damn hard to find. Maybe the "K-man" is more popular than anybody else? Or since he usually doesn't get the love like the other guys, being produced all over, everybody just has to have him. But if need be then I'll have the tv aces and the forgotten may return someady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I'm pretty sure Yamato expected demand to be very low for TV Kakizaki and so they didn't make very many of him. If his after market price keeps going up we'll probably see a reissue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Focker Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I'm pretty sure Yamato expected demand to be very low for TV Kakizaki and so they didn't make very many of him. If his after market price keeps going up we'll probably see a reissue. ' I know he was pretty low on my list. He's on my only get him if HLJ or someone has a special Xmas sale with free shipping list. Kakizaki just doesn't ooze coolness as much of the other Heroes valks. Even the Cannon Fodder Mass Production Valks are cooler than Kakizaki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKWIND Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) At first I felt the same way about kakizaki too but, I never knew they did the TV types in 1/48. So I figured 1/60s were the way to go. I missed out and have been trying to catch up on some of valks. I've got Roy's TV valk on preorder, Max's just got to the house a few days ago and working on Hikaru's 1J. (With good shoulders, I hope.) Did ever release a stand alone fixed shoulder 1J, just trying to get a solid confim on it. And yeah i hope a reissue comes too.

I have the 1/48 TV Max and the Kakizaki on its way and let me tell you they dont look the same as the 1/60's. The 1/60's have that real TV white color whereas the 1/48 TV editions use the off white paint scheme as a base. The 1/60 vermillion squad looks like it just popped out of the TV. I posted a while back that I managed to get a 1/60 Kakizaki from Ebay - I paid $120 and received a set of TV super parts, I thought it was a little expensive at the time.....looks like i was really lucky. Hope you guys manage to find Kakizaki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its cool I'll just keep trollin til I get a deal, like I said I've still got all the aces so eventually I think I'll get lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-18S Hornet Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) My TV Kakizaki just arrived today, unfortunatly I was not their to get because I just found out from the seller, that he shipped it off on the 3rd, and I was able to imput the traking number at USPS.com only to find out it did arrive but not on the day I was working at my day job. So I have to wait till tomorrow pick it up from my day job. and hope that those morons didn't mistake it for something else.

But its cool I'll just keep trollin til I get a deal, like I said I've still got all the aces so eventually I think I'll get lucky. Its funny how that works - I was watching that one for days and didn't really get to concerned about it. Then I started to notice that everyone was having trouble getting one so I didn't waste any time. I received it last week and its great! I'm sure you will find one - good luck..
