davzilla Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Pretty sure I've purchased Sealed, A and B graded items from Jungle and never had an issue. That said, I'm the type of collector that tends to gravitate towards Sealed or as close to new as possible. Their service fee is a tad irritating, but as Gakken said it's not too bad and it beats the potential stress of an auction. -b. I'll second this, although i get em as cheap as i can cause they're coming out of the box. however, i've bought a couple grand worth of stuff off them now. yamato 1/48 valks mostly, but gundam pg's and mg's too.

spanner Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Wow....arguably the undisputed champ among all other past Yamato/Arcadia shelf-warmers... I don't recall a Kakizaki ever getting that low of a discount.... and to think I actually pre-ordered but then cancelled one of these for much much more than I eventually paid for one.. got mine from Mandarake for only 7,000 yen! The 30th is an aquired taste And so begins it's slow, slow rise to be a rare and expensive valk haha ahh yes an acquired taste indeed! although initially I really didn't care much for the paint scheme but paying so little for the one I eventually bought has made it grow on me! Now I couldn't imagine my VF-1 collection without it! Again!!! I'm still waiting for mine, aggghhh why preorder?!? http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1722725.html hehe! that was quick! good price too! never mind the "box damaged" comment as everything I have bought from Mandarake has listed the box damage and 9 out of 10 times the boxes have been 99% ok! Milia VF-1J http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1358413.html gahh!! thats a great price! im still chasing the Max & Milia pair of J's.. so rare and pricey when found..

technoblue Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) I saw this loose YF-21 on ebay today and threw my hat into the ring. I got real close to winning (at 10 seconds, I was outbid), and I hope someone here picked it up. The Valkyrie looks a little dusty in the pictures, but otherwise in great condition. All parts and documentation are included with a full sticker sheet. As noted, only the box is missing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/111395291141?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Sniped again. LoL! This time it was a VF-1J CF.

Think about it, the J model is supposed to be the squadron leader model so why would several of them be together and do grunt work?

sreichma Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 The 1J CF was in another episode also, during the episode where hikaru is training for the military he pilots a 1J CF in battroid mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YF-29 Durandal Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I don't remember that but I still think that it's supposed to be a VF-1A CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I'm just guessing here. Correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe the 1J CF class are the squadron or platoon leader for the 1A CF's. Whereas the white or colored 1J's are higher ranked than their 1J CF leader counterparts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YF-29 Durandal Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I don't know... the protagonists valks are just colored so that they should be easily recognizable... at least thats the case for the A-Model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technoblue Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Back to the thread topic, I purchased my 1J CF for 325 MIB so that may be the high range. Thanks for sharing the price, sreichma. I see that these do trend toward high bids. And I noticed that there are a couple buy-it-now auctions asking for ~$400! I could almost get my own ship... er a VF-4G for that! On the YF-19: Yeah, I missed it by THAT much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sreichma Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Not sure if the auction on ebay came with the box, the pictures just showed the loose 1J CF with accessories but no box was shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Yup, no box also on the 1J CF. It was on the Q&A part of the listing. Q: Are there any scratches or chips in the tinted canopy? Also how is the quality of the Tampo printing? Finally, I didn't see the original box in the photos and would like to confirm that this is a loose item---Thanks!A: There are NO scratches or chips on the tinted canopy.

sreichma Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 250 for a used valk with no box shows this thing pulls some weight. I've heard it was rare. (250 includes. 25 shipping) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
