skullmilitia Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 wow, 180$, I mean I remember last year paying 170$ for a lone VF-1S. I know the yen value has something to do with it. But still, 180$ for a perfect 1J, and Armor? deal. half the cost of anything close on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikos0311 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I'm glad I didn't fork out $250.00 last year for one of these.! I think the price is good considering it's MISB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still, 180$ for a perfect 1J, and Armor? deal. half the cost of anything close on eBay. it is even less than half the question is, pay for it now or wait until May (we need crystal balls now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edi Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 This is probably going to be a stupid question, but since there are no photos of it, can the VF-1J transform into all three modes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an only battroid mode set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benson13 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Now to go buy my missile effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyll2 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Now to go buy my missile effects. is it even available separately? Did anyone before, tried to recast the web-exclusive effects parts? edit: PO'd at NY. approximate 16% discount. Kind of tempted to pay for it now since yen got lower again. (Amiami is actually 14.7% discount since the 21% discount they are offering are based on the after-tax price but still better than the 10% discount from Hobbysearch and HLJ) Edited December 22, 2014 by chyll2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derex3592 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I gotta admit--that's not a bad price. I sure wish they would re-issue the Ostrich soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Some guy was selling customs. It would be a good idea for somebody else to pick up the idea at this point haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormshadow0621 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 PO'd at Yasan-Nippon for $182 shipped. Figure the exchange rate is good enough to reserve it in USD this time. And I can pay in May too. I already have a VF-1J + GPJ separate.. might put the GPJ on one of my VF-1S (did anyone of the variants appear with GPJ on?)

Ryoma Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I think that on the Do you remember love PSX game there is a cut-scene where you can see a white VF-1A(Hikaru?) and a C.F. VF-1A with part of the armor on. It looks pretty sweet, in both of the VF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechapilot77 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 PO'd at hlj. i have the grey goggle'd set with the good shoulders already but i feel liek the GBP is special....kinda want another and to put something else besides a 1j in it.

technoblue Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I gotta admit--that's not a bad price. I sure wish they would re-issue the Ostrich soon! ^Same on both counts. And I can see a benefit if Arcadia sticks with SDFM TV releases too. I ended up finding the Yamato missile-effect GBP for a good price, so I'm good and will continue to sit this one out.

Sildani Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I myself don't need grey goggles. I just don't care that much. Surely at some point GBP armor was issued to non-grey Valks, and that's enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
