dapro Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) I saw this ebay listing yesterday and noticed the seller is also in the area. I offered him $200 for local pickup and he accepted it. There is some damage to the figure though. Not familiar with the market recently so not sure I over paid or not. Thanks Edited October 18, 2013 by dapro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'd say I'm jealous. From the pictures the stress marks look barely noticeable and considering M&M 1/60v.2's have been going for twice that much I think you got a steal.

wmkjr Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 That's pretty good. I just got a Max and Milia super set plus virgin road for around $650. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikos0311 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 That's an awesome deal brother !!! I had that listing on my "watch" list on eBay and I was expecting it to reach the 400 bucks!

Where you got those? Now I need a Milia for max. He will be lonely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) I'm fairly confident Arcadia will be coming out with these next year sometime, so spending $600 + for both, or even $200 for one with damage doesn't seem good to me anymore. I should add, that I'm going off of a post in the "What would you like to see from Arcadia" thread, and based on my own knowledge. I'd at least wait out the next year, unless you can't, in which I'd totally understand. Edited October 17, 2013 by Jasonc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapro Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 That is good news. I need a milia. it is so hard to find anyone selling these right now. I am totally willing to wait for the milia and VF-1D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriku Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Congrats, that's a great price. For the stress marks, just hold a blow-dryer or heat gun about two inches from the lasers in short intervals of a few seconds each time (blast for a few seconds and move the heat away, wait for a few seconds, repeat) and they should simply vanish. As long as you don't keep the heat pointed directly at the plastic for a long time you wont risk melting anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the M&M set plus the Virgin road (all unopened) prior to finding out the Arcadia info. That's assuming they get the licensing. I don't know japanese so I can't translate exactly what Mr. K said for sure but it would be good for everyone, heck I'd buy another set anyways. I'd guess the Arcadia ones probably be about $250 if it comes with a stand, $220ish without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a little more, but I can see this happening. I've waited this long, seveal more months should be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapro Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 I am satisfied with this purchase. Its looks great! It still has the plastic on the wings and landing gear. Wonder what happen to the head laser with the stress mark. Can it be shipped from yamato like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
