Magia Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hi, Does anyone know how much is the market price for a Yamato VT-1 Super Ostrich V1? The item has been open, but it is complete, with original box in good condition. Thanks. PS: If anyone is selling one of this (or version 2) please let me know!

Isamu Dyson Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'm not sure about V1 but V2 will cost a pretty penny for you. I was lucky enough to get one from my GF on a HLJ sale for $150. Had I known the after market value for these guys, I would have picked up 10. Watch out for the V2 shoulder cracks due to the pin hinge problem. Mine had one straight out of the box. Hold off for a bit buddy cuz I have a feeling Arcadia will re-release them, assuming they still have the Yamato molds. No valkyrie is worth $300 with a cracked shoulder or any part for that matter.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 crack shoulders shouldn't be a sticking point especially with the shapeways replacement parts. 90% of Vt-1 version 2 has the cracked shoulders so i wouldn't be scared off by cracked shoulders alone w/ readily avail solutions. but i agree it will cost at least 350 in the current market. i wouldn't bother w/ any verision 1's. not worth it imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Guess my VT-1 is part of the 10% with non cracked shoulders Now that I've said that........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magia Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Thanks for answering to my topic. What do you think about this: Super Ostrich version 1:for 150USD shipped. Is it a good deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 for that i would just save and get a v. 2 for 350 dont think any v.1 should be over 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stark1975 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Since it's something that I'd definitely pretty much keep in fighter mode, I'd pay maybe $50 for a V1, and then maybe a 50% markup on it being something other than a basic VF-1. So, $75 sounds pretty fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I don't think that's a good deal for you. It's way too high for a v.1, especially consigering you could've gotten one of the renewal 25, or the new Arcadia version VF-1 series for about the same. I wouldn't be able to justify that purchase in my opinion, but it really comes down to how much you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0n5t3r Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Unless you're a person who can settle for a lower quality product, i guess a v1 is okay for $50 imo. But if you're like me and have seen the v.2 Ostrich, there will be a feeling of regret everytime you look at your v.1 Ostrich. I'm glad i got mine when i did when it was easily available and at its lowest price (and i'm also glad i got original replacement hinges) coz even if Arcadia releases this, i don't think i'd be happy paying the JPY20,000-25,000 that they are gonna ask for it, even if it comes with a stand and option parts (w/c i don't need coz my Ostrich only transforms between Fighter and Half-GERWALK).
