spanner Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 there are two VF-4G sitting on Jungle if anyone is interested. there's also a GBP armor with exclusive parts. still not cheap by any means at nearly 70k jpy.. even for "A" condition.. im still getting mixed results when buying from Jungle going by their product condition grading system.. The last lot of stuff I got from them being my son's renewal 25G & Supers were listed as "A" & "Sealed" respectively.. the 25G had clearly been used going against Jungles "A" grading but overall was ok with only a slightly floppy left shoulder and somewhat loose-ish ankles but its still can stand up ok. And.. the "Sealed" supers were contrary to the grading not "Sealed".. again they had clearly previously been used/fitted but thankfully were still in good condition and don't fall off.. Personally I feel they need to re-think their grading system something closer to the AmiAmi system or just be more upfront with the items condition.

Personally I feel they need to re-think their grading system something closer to the AmiAmi system or just be more upfront with the items condition. the problem with their rating is the rather limited classification. It is either Sealed, A or B. browsing through some japanese sites, usually a shop has 5 ratings for used goods and in some case, some are using 10 types of rating. (varying from loose, different state of use, dirt to new) anyway, my B grade 25F has one lose gerwalk joint while all other are very firm. I was about to blame Jungle but I remember, my Sealed 25A before was all tight again, with the exception this time of the shoulder.

If that's the type of money being thrown around these days then it might be time to sell a VF-4G. I'll even cut $ 50 off of the price compared to that eBay listing. -b.

Gakken85 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 It could just be inflated bidding to mule accounts to raise expectations. Both have 1 bid wins, one has 0 feedback, and the owner is a toy seller in taiwan. Bogus if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaajin Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I suppose you are right on the 11 & 4G. Both are purchased with Buy-it-Now option by low-feedback buyers. Roy 1S however is purchased by a reliable buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 VF-11C at 29k yen http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d159966446 *snip* The more I look on VF-11C, the more I want to have one. Just like when I first started looking at VF-4G. Or maybe just because of its whiteness and black stripe. A little color mod, it will become part of my Red and Black squadron collections. But I guess, I will just have to wait until this one gets reissued. If not, I can live without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy crap : http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=261719711368&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2565 I have an Elint Seaker but if I had the cash I'd happily spend $600 on a Super Ostrich! But only if I were to find out that Arcadia were never going to re-issue it.. still so angry at myself for letting my one go.. Pass on a 11C though.. im happy with the B model!

aaajin Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Exactly. I would too if I have the dough & know arcadia wont reissue. But as of now, I wont for both reasons above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosey Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'd love a 11C to replace my POS original B which naturally disintegrated, but that's a bit rich for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Just curious, what is a fair Non-Ebay price for a 1/60 VF-11B? Also, after all these years has that Valk held up well with no parts breaking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chyll2 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 11b and c are rare in Mandarake but they usually sell from 20k to 30k yen there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 For a B: $250 or lower is a great deal. I'd say anything over $300 is getting into the decent deal zone. Anything over $350 and I'd say you're getting hosed for a B. You can get one on YJapan for $250 but then pay $50 in fees/shipping. C's are a little rarer and hard to find. I've seen them go from $400 to $500 in the yamato "closing" scare. I'd say now expect to pay $50 to $100 more than the B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks guys, I'll continue the search for one. The few that pop-up on Ebay usually run from $325-700.00 pending on the seller, so I simply avoid those. While its one of my favorite Valks, I'll hold out for a good deal. Good thing I'm not to big a fan of the VF-11C, that one simply seems expensive no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
