Archer Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Hi guys,As some of you may know, I recently got a Gundam Metal Fix figuration Unicorn, but sadly, I need to let it go, as all the lamps and lights in my small dorm room (very small room honestly) promote yellowing on white plastic (I found out by checking some of my other figures recently). Needless to say, I can't display the unicorn anymore, so I'd like to sell or trade it to somebody who will actually use it. I have taken it out of the box (box is slightly worn), checked everything out, and put it back inside. I haven't even taken many things out of their respective plastic seals, and it hasn't gone through a single transformation. For straight up pricing, I'm looking for $170 shipped. For trades, I'm looking for ONE of the following:___________________________________________Either of the Fix Figuration Metal Composite Z Plus figuresGundam Fix Figuration Psycho Gundam (either one)ANY renewal Bandai Macross figureAny metal build GundamA Gundam Fix Figuration Next Rezel (trader pays for both toys shipping, so I'm not completely screwing myself over )Any 1/60 VF-19 from Yamato, although i'd prefer the -S or -P (I think HK collectibles has a sale on an -S right now?)1/60 VF-11B/C from Yamato1/60 SV-51/VF-0Any Yamato 1/60 VF-1 (including VE-1, and other variants). _______________________________________________________Pretty much anything else you think is of equal value or so. As you can see, I'm a pretty flexible guy, I'd just rather not see a perfect figure get all yellow'd up. Thanks,-Archer Edited February 16, 2013 by Archer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbantonelli Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 "all the lamps and lights in my small dorm room (very small room honestly) promote yellowing on white plastic" If your bulb are the fluorescent type, it's an imperative that you get new ones! The yellowing of the plastic could be an indication that the ones you have are emitting UV radiation. http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2012/08/08/158426970/energy-efficient-lightbulbs-have-a-dark-side-when-it-comes-to-health Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to look into it. I haven't really focused or picked up on it until I noticed some of my other figs have shown yellowing. I put the unicorn away, but I didn't realize there were potential health side effects. Thanks for the heads up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Bummer that you have to let it go!!! It's an incredible figure!!! Since the box isn't very big, why not keep it boxed until you move out from the dorm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Why don't you just store it until you're done with school? Or change the bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimusfine Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Is it the regular edition or the prism coat version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Is it the regular edition or the prism coat version? It is the regular edition (1006 is the number i think) As for waiting till I move out of the dorm, i'm kinda stuck here for the next three years, so there isn't much I can do, and I'd rather not have it sitting on my shelf back in my parent's home (I wouldn't get to enjoy it, etc.). As for changing the bulbs, since it's a university owned residential area, we are not allowing to tamper with that stuff Edited February 15, 2013 by Archer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in a dorm as well, and having friends over now and then means its not too convenient having my GFFs/Valks on display... do you have like a closet or something you can stick it in?

That's just it man, I'd rather not have it sitting in a box, as it does me no good right? I'd rather just sell it or trade it for a fig I can display.

Archer Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Alright, here are the pictures I promised. Sorry for the crazy flash and blurriness guys. I was working with limited resources (i.e. a small desk lamp and an iPhone 5 camera!). Edited February 17, 2013 by Archer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loop Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Congrats, it looked like many were trying to talk you out of selling it If I would have held on to my toy budget I would have taken it at the great price you offered it at. There is always next time.... Edited February 17, 2013 by Loop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Yeah, i would have loved to keep it, but it does nobody any good sitting in a small closet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
