This valk has been sold, thank you.

Hi all, I have for sale one Yamato 1/60 VF-11B. I'm asking *SOLD* plus exact shipping.

I can hear you saying, "Amazing price! But what's the catch?" Well, that's a very good question! :lol:

This valk was sold to me as being "mint," but the first time I sat down to transform it I found that unfortunately wasn't entirely true. Here are the issues with this valk (I'll have an explanation followed by a photo):

The tab that helps lock the nose of the plane in place is damaged. Fortunately, what's left of the tab (plus the strength of the joint) still provides enough friction to hold up the nose with no problem.

The tip of the right intake has been smushed a bit.

The left hip joint exhibits stress marks around the joint and is EXTREMELY tight. So tight, that I never finished transforming this valk. You may be able to rotate this joint and ultimately transform it without problems, but I personally will not risk it.

I paid the going market rate for this valk, and to the seller's credit he did work with me to try and make things square. Still, my asking price represents a loss for myself as I strongly feel that this is a valk that should be kept in fighter mode only. In fighter mode, the flaws are not noticeable and the valk holds together well:

Valk includes all accessories (Super Parts all attach without issue) and packaging, but does NOT include the decal sheet:

I accept payment via Paypal, though due to the damaged nature of this valk I do ask that the funds be sent via gift payment only. I have positive feedback in the Straight Shooter thread and have been a member of this board since before the move in 2003. I'd be happy to discuss any offers/trades you may have, and if there are any questions please feel free to ask away either in the thread or via PM.

Thanks!

Such a shame it got damaged.. the damage is almost like a child got hold of it!? And for that asking price its almost not worth letting go!

Haha, yeah, discovering the damage was an unpleasant surprise, to say the least! I've since purchased another VF-11B and if I had more display space I'd probably hang onto this guy, but thinking about it honestly, I'd never really have the opportunity to display both 11Bs at once. So, I figured I'd make it easier for someone who still needs the 11B in their collection to pick him up. ^_^

I'm happy to report that this wounded warrior has found a new deployment! Thank you very much to everyone who expressed interest in this valk.
