Kanedas Bike Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Wow. Mega haul! Did you use your spleen or a lung to pay for the VF-4. Very very nice. Me want. Gorgeous. Haven't seen these anywhere. Ha! Thank you very much, purchased with the proceeds from the piggy bank I started at age 6. Love the VF-1J CF, sreichma. Looks great. Agree, the VF-1J Cannon Fodder was one of Yamato's best VF-1 releases in my opinion. I wish I'd picked up more than (1) when it came out. I paid about 40 above what the new retail will be if they re-issue it., and then normal EMS shipping + 10 bucks. I don't think that's astronomical. Considering Arcadia asks $150ish for a valk now, and super parts trend around $110 dollars or more, and if they throw in extras... it could be $260-300 easy for a reissue + shipping. Plus, they might leave out something Yamato added to save or cut costs like they did with the Focker and Hik releases. I overpaid a bit but it's worth it in my mind as it could be another 6 months before we even get M&M's from Arcadia. Anything in the 400+ range would be a bit crazy imo. Been thinking about this, and I swear I'm not trying to throw any shade on your purchase - I think it was a good buy. That said I don't think an Arcadia Max and/or Miria VF-1J with Super Parts will be that much (heck, the originals retailed for 12,800 JPY). I think (read hope) at the most they will be around 22,000 JPY. Arcadia retail for the the VF-1S's: 16,800 JPY (Yamato was 9,800 JPY) - the difference in cost being attributed to the stand and option parts (craziness) Yamato retail for the TV Super Parts: 3,800 JPY Yamato retail for the Stand: 3,900 JPY At any rate, again a good buy Gakken. I hope that if/when Arcadia re-releases any bundled fast pack versions they don't go crazy pricing them. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Yeah the flaw in your logic is that that's prices from 2008 before the economy took a crap. http://www.hlj.com/product/ymt00080/Sci Back then Yamato was asking $90 for a VF-1 and $40 for Supers. Since then there has been the global collapse, yamato went out of business more or less, and inflation. Going on Valk prices it's almost 60% increase based off what Arcadia is asking for the yf-19 ect. I think they will be at least $80 bucks on the low end. They seem to like throwing in extras too and asking more + smaller runs which could jack up the price too. I'm comfortable in thinking they will be at least $250-260 and stand alone supers being $80-100. Maybe with a discount closer to $240 for the bird. They aren't going to ask less than what supers are selling for on the secondary market which is around $110, depending. It's still a considerable amount of plastic. Bandai charges $70ish for their supers and they tend to flux up and down depending on demand and parts. All this is before shipping mind, so that's at least $35-40 bucks for a double box. But hey! I hope you're right. I'd like to get a max and maybe another milia so the cheaper the betta. Edited June 29, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s_i_t_h_l_o_r_d Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 How are those display cases? There really nice display cases worth every penny at $70. Of course you could get a Detlof for $50 but I wanted something for my desk at work. Each display case has 8 LEDs and they can be powered by either battery or USB. The lights can be controlled on the front bezel by way of a touch surface and it has a mirrored back panel which you can flip to a plain white background.

I got these from Sideshow Collectibles. I would stick to the display cases that fit 1/6 scale figures. I was able to fit two 1/60 valks; a VF-19A and a YF-19 both in battroid mode. I'm experimenting and combining identical height display cases and omitting the clear plexi panels that if it were placed adjacent would give me a wider case.
