Franks & Sons weekly report.


Recommended Posts

Your not gonna find old 1/55's that easy. But surprisingly there's a guy at the very last isle to your right if your were to walk into the main entrance by the food area. He has a bunch of old cyclones, alpha's, 1/55's. But his asking prices are astronomical, so prepare to either just look at his toys and laugh at the prices, or actually shell out the amount he wants.

Yeah, that's Auggie, he's cool, but way over priced on his vintage stuff. I traded a bunch of boxed misc. stuff for a MIB Gakken Cyclone, and that was like pulling teeth from him, even though he got the better end of the deal with way more stuff.

Exo, I'll PM you too but for the sake of anyone else who (like me) doesn't know, what are your "group buys"? Sounds intriguing!

Most of the guys here in LA pool in their orders together and meet up at F&S to divee up when it gets here. PM me for more info.

Has anyone seen any Valkrie stands or flexistands for sale at F&S? I have never been there and I am planning to go on Saturday. Also does anyone know where I can buy Ronin Warrior toys and dvd's?

wow, ronin warriors huh? F&S might have some. I haven't seen them myself as I'm still looking for the ones that haven't been reissued. They might even have the dvd's there as well. Good luck finding those there.

Went today and surprisingly Yoshi had Masterpiece Thundercracker already :ph34r:

I hadn't read anything on any of the TF sites about it being released yet.

He had 3 and two of my buddies each bought one for 120 a piece.

I would have bought one if I didn't have him on pre order with LOS already.

Haven't been to F&S for so long and seeing it packed at 2:00p.m. was surprising. Saw most of the Macross toys and new 1/60s in person finally. Too bad the SV-51 Ivanov was only at Treasure Island that I could see and was going for $220 I think, a but too high for me these days. Had to pull myself from getting the Mospeada Stick & Dancer figs, nice though, around $60-65.

Does F&S have Origin of Macross Max and Hikaru Super Valks for sale? If so, how much? Planning to be back in LA for the holidays.

yes. Tisinc has it for 110 each. While vince on the first aisle across from the comics has just the hikaru one for a 100.

Do any of the F&S retailers have the three Cospa Macross F patches (Mac25, Skull Squadron, and SMS)? And do they have Destroid Tomahawks for around $100? I'd like to find these, but HLJ is not a good idea with the yen to dollar the way it is, and they only have two of the three patches in stock... I'd be willing to give someone a couple extra dollars if they could find either of these for me at a reasonable price, especially the patches, as I'd really like to find all three at once.

I haven't seen the MF patches. Destroids are going for 124 at Tisinc. So only way your gonna get one for that much is if someone sells one on here or other boards.

Ah found the F&S thread! Anyway, I'm gonna be over in CA next week and wanted to know how F&S is on Wednesdays compared to Saturdays? I have time to hit it up on Wednesday, but wanted to know if certain vendors are only open certain days.

Wednesdays is ok. Not everybody is open. Tisinc is rarely open on wednesdays. Anybody else that might have macross toys will be open like Haji's booth and yoshi's booth. But they might close early. I'd go on saturday instead from 10 to 1pm. Bigkid24 on here is selling a tomahawk and he is local to F&S. here's his for sale thread:

Thanks for the reply... I ended up asking Save to find me the patches, and bought the Tomahawk from ToysLogic for like $110 plus shipping and a Jobby Japan.

So I take it you didn't look at the link I put up for the tomahawk huh? If you clicked the link you would've gotten it for cheaper shipped.

Haji has Macross? The only thing he prolly has is the previous Bandai stuff.

Yes, it's still macross. I'm just letting them know where all the macross stuff is. I really don't want to point out the robotech guy and transformers guy since their prices are ridiculously up there.

thanks for the info BoBe-Patt. I would go on Saturday but I'm gonna be up in Ventura then. I have time Wednesday since I'll be down in Westminster/Garden Grove then. I can't believe I never took the time to go to F&S when I lived in CA but I'm going now that I'm coming back to visit (though having more disposable income now may have something to do with that :D ).

any of the 1/60 or 1/72 vf-25f or s? if so how much are they selling them for?

They have all the Yamato 1/60 up to V.2 VF-1A Hikaru release, didn't see any VF-25. That was as of sat 1/24. I was looking for the quead raus or vf-1s hikaru and was sorely dissapointed.

has anyone seen the megahouse blue mospeada at F&S?

young

yeah, last time I checked yoshi had one left for 55 bucks. Maybe Tisinc still has one. I know they have the CMs version.

I am leaving on Sunday and will be in the Sacramento/SanFransisco area Monday through Thursday and for a short time on Friday. Is Franks and Sons close to where I will be? Is it like a flea market for cool stuff in a big steel building? I am going to try to get over there. Is Franks and Sons open during the week?

Must get macross stuff!

Any other places better than Franks and Sons in the area or should I not even waste my time. someone told me about a place in Sacramento called Toyfusion. I will likely check it out since it is so close.

I was there this weekend. I think i saw a Scott Alpha for $40... I thought about asking about it but then thought I'd let someone who really needed one make that score. Then again, at that price, it may already be one someone broke. So, if you're in the area and need a Scott MPC, it's probably worth checking out. I was hoping to score a deal on an MPC Cyclone or see the Rook Beta but no luck... I was cruising through pretty quick though.

Pretty much straight back, all the way in the rear, lots of Macross/Mospeada/Robotech stuff there... must of it a bit on the expensive side. I think the Scott was right next to an MPC Voltron in a display and the Voltron was $139.95, Scott was labeled $39.95.

That was @ TSINC. Those guys are freakin' A-Holes!! I saw that Alpha @ a month ago & inquired about it. They said it wasn't for sale.

If it's not for sale then why stick it out there & put a price on it??? Their just messin' with you... don't shop there if you don't have to!

I also concur about tisinc, they're stupid pricks and they stink of fish heads.

I remember when the CM Mospeadas first came out I asked them about it and the one dude said, "mospeada, what the hell you talk about?" Stupid a$$, like I am the one who doesn't speak english, lol. :rolleyes:
