jenius Posted August 12 Posted August 12 After release, there will be plenty available, probably cheaper than Luna Park. I still see the clear VF-1S popping up so I'm not worried about it.
Shawn Posted August 12 Posted August 12 Personally I wouldn't worry too much about the release, even these special web-only releases. Wait for them to show up on the 2nd hand market, get a proxy buyer, and get it from Yahoo Japan. Yes you will pay the 6000-10000 mark up fee, but the stress level or waiting up at 2am refreshing a bunch of web pages is forever gone. Plus they put up the std disclaimer about it being available afterwards. Not saying its the cheapest option for everyone, but it has worked out for me. Plus the shipping always tends to be cheaper, as I bundle this with other items through the proxy.
Froy Posted August 12 Posted August 12 Also, this is not an "as ween on tv" releasse. Pretty sure that influences heavily the sales.
sh9000 Posted August 12 Author Posted August 12 One part I wish they would update is the small peg connector inside the armor to a larger rectangular one. That piece looks like it could break from stress over time.
Robin-11 Posted August 13 Posted August 13 I just sold my Camo GBP to another collector who never owned a Yamato GBP armour. The first thing he noticed was the fact that all the missiles were removable, unlike the new Bandai. This is a detail a really miss from the Yamatos.

Been looking for that for a long while; even on here.

So do we think yahoo japan is going to be the best option or might these show up anywhere like HLJ, Ami Ami, BBTS?

But it has been for sale on the sale section of this forum for almost three months 😞In any case, if you want, i still have a Yamato VF-1A 1/48 low vis 2.0 camouflage for sale.
