Mazinger Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 29 minutes ago, easnoddy said: $50 for the ET VF-2SS is about right, maybe $65 for the ones that come with SAP. But then you have to be okay with owning something that looks and feels like a cheap knockoff. I'd say the Legioss are worth $125-150, they're at least twice as good as the 2SS. Good info. Continous polls along this line "what's it worth" might make for an interesting site feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easnoddy Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I ended up selling my ET 2SS, I have both of the far superior HMR versions though. Even the proportions on the ET are poor and chunky. The toy could have done well with a Takatoku 1/55-style locking hip bars (in both modes).

Agent-GHQ Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Had to contemplate again on getting these VF-2SS but I decided to get the Bandai DX Max for $215 shipped. If the VF-2SS goes even lower than $50 than yeah I’ll grab one for display Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you absolutely must have a VF-2SS at 1/60 and have sufficiently low expectations, it might be worth it. I mean really, really low expectations. This thing is significantly crappier than the HMR version in all modes. 1 hour ago, sqidd said: What does it take to get it with or add the super parts? ET did sell a SAP set separately but that's long sold out. You'll have to get the Faerie Squadron bundle if you want the SAP. Or maybe check Yahoo auctions and see if anyone is selling the SAP set. I had both and promptly sold them because they were such terrible toys. They would have been decent in 1995, but not today, at their MSRP.

I was thinking if I could find it used/cheap of possibly pulling the trigger. I'm not that into it though. I've got three HMR's.

Convectuoso Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I'm pretty sure Jungle had the SAP in stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahem, This would not even had existed back in 1985 since the release of M2 was 1992. Sometime thereafter sure it could have been better. The figure does have its charm and honestly, I think it’s just fine as it is. I am one of the very few who bought four and still like them to this day. Just wish the MSRP did not sting as it did when they were released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link. Anyone know what you can use as stand for fighter mode? Something clear preferably? Like a YetiStand or those three post deals (I can't remember the name).

Karaoke Ninja Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Slightly off topic but does anyone else find it a little funny Sylvie's VF-2SS is used so much in promotional images and merchandise despite only appearing in the first episode?

Sandman Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Not worth it even at these sale prices. I owned the Slyvie and it was a mess. May have been comparative to macross toys in the early 2000s. I sold it right away which i never do with recent toys. I usually sell stuff that i've had for years or that are outdated by a newer release. $50 is about right but only because the battroid holds together alright. Fighter mode is a wright off.

claude grant Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Gotta agree with nb4m on this one. I def like it better than the HMR; gave my Sylvie away as a gift to a friend. And got all 4 that I own way below msrp. Haven't had any problems getting mine to hold any poses in any of the three modes, but maybe I was just lucky with this release.

easnoddy Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) Disagreed about the ET being in any way better than the HMR. One exception...its bigger. Its truly a terrible toy. The Bandai DX Macross7 toys (1995) are much better toys than the ET VF-2. Edited December 2, 2019 by easnoddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 The Battroid also looks a bit better, since the canopy cover is actually flush. That's the biggest issue with the HMR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
