Dimis Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Probably just the box being a little dinged. I've bought B stuff before and never had any issues. They would list a major defect me thinks. With EMS it was only $305 shipped. Yeah I thought about the re-issue possiability but those will probably... like with the M&M's... if they ever frakking come out... will be close to 220ish + shipping anyway. So it's probably only $40-50 bucks more. And who know if they will leave out some tamp or use another plastic. Plus I just love the Yamato releases, and I love this valk. Obviously i'm jealous which is why i had to convince myself i shouldn't buy it! If they re-issue it it won't have the rainbow canopy which i love, so i too am on the lookout for a Yamato but on the other hand even if i got a solid copy i would still want a re-issue with good shoulders. Macross collecting can mess with your head!

abbadon Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Saw that too. It was gone instantly! At that price I'm not surprised.
aaajin Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Somebody scored big last night : http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-706168.html
Falcon18 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 ^ 3 posts up. lol. But wow. That's very cheap..
Gakken85 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 wow that's a weird price. Maybe it's yellowed...or maybe they missed a 1.
chyll2 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 everyone got upset by that item in mandarake, myself included. It is more upsetting since it is within the hour when I last check Mandarake.
joppewo Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Mandarake sometimes puts up their listings incorrectly and might re-list it again at the correct price, while ignoring the order of whoever got it.
Lolicon Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Probably just an erroneous listing. They do that sometimes. Once they mistakenly put up an unopened Hot Toys Iron Man Mark VI for only 6000 yen. I snatched it up immediately. An hour later I got a cancellation email.
SuperSenpai Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I once saw a Yamato 1/60 v2 Hikaru VF-1A on Amazon listed by a third-party seller based in Japan for about $50 or so. I had a hunch that there might be something fishy about the listing, but elected to take a chance and buy it, figuring Amazon's buyer protection policies would cover me in case anything went wrong. I got a message a couple of days later from the seller indicating that he had made a mistake with the price, and asked if it would be ok to cancel my order. To his credit, he offered to complete the transaction as-is, but said that he would be taking a loss on the sale. Admittedly, I was tempted to make him complete the sale with the original price, but my conscience got the better of me and I let him cancel the order. Would have been a sweet deal if it happened though.
Gakken85 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 He might have it listed for 400 bucks and still hasn't sold it too haha
SuperSenpai Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 He might have it listed for 400 bucks and still hasn't sold it too haha Seriously... if you think the eBay prices are bad, the Amazon seller prices will make them look like a bargain in comparison.
Gakken85 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Sometimes it's better to take a bit of a loss to make most of the money back.

Kanedas Bike Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Someone scored a deal on Mandarake for a VF-1D (and it was one with the 30th Anniversary sticker too); http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1056667.html If I wasn't so tired last night I may have stayed up, but oh well - you snooze you lose. -b.

Man, I always miss these great deals... that's a great price for a 1D. Hope it was someone here.
no3Ljm Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 So hard to stay away from these sites. Hehehe. Wallet-drainer indeed.
jvmacross Posted September 25, 2014 Author Posted September 25, 2014 Takatoku VF-1S mini sofubi...184.50 USD plus shipping http://www.ebay.com/itm/1980s-MACROSS-TAKATOKU-5-034-VF-1S-Valkyrie-Vinyl-Robotech-POPY-BULLMARK-GODAIKIN-/331322798769?nma=true&si=WlSjTlFumW1hM6ELrJafjvevjjk%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Hard core Macross collecting...anyone here get it? Congrats!...that is about as rare as it gets when it comes to Takatoku or Macross collecting in general...
Gakken85 Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 There is a guy on here, MACROSS25. He has like everything Takatoku. Wonder if he has it or won that auction.
charger69 Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 AE VF-1D $227 http://www.anime-export.com/product/21796
wmkjr Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 AE VF-1D $227 http://www.anime-export.com/product/21796 Fresh from 'drake! Haha j/k!
Kanedas Bike Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 AE VF-1D $227 *snip* Probably want to throw that in one of the Items of Interest threads in the For Sale Section. 77 dollar market up from drake. Yeah, and forget that. I'll wait for another one to pop-up, a reissue or continue to do without a VF-1D in my collection. -b.
stormshadow0621 Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 I'd buy it if it was the blue VF-1D.

Kanedas Bike Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Good grab for the upcoming season. Ozma Armored Parts. 15000Yen. http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1016247.html Yep, missed that one by minutes I think. Yeah, was actually up and stalking Mandarake when that went up and opted to pass. I really want to try and snag some more Yamato pieces as I'm pretty set on Bandai Renewals. I had to double check because 15,000 JPY is the least expensive I've seen the 25S Armor Parts posted for. -b.
Kanedas Bike Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Going off of price alone someone got a great deal on a YF-30, but it makes me wonder if there was something wrong (like a loose joint or something along those lines) with it; http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1801257.html -b.
chyll2 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 missed the 15k yen vf-25s un-opened and box damage (pics looks good, might be the usual dings at corners) http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1840607.html
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Ozma! -b. oh yeah! hopefully the prices plummet like the 25F so that no one is fighting over them. then no one will be angry if people get doubles or 13.
