Cpt. Bukkake Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Is there a way to tell a 1/48 ver.2 VF-1S from and old one from the box? Is there a different SKU# or a sticker? I've waited on purchasing one because of the earlier problems. I'd hate to buy one now and still get stuck with an old one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imode Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Just buy from one of the reputable online dealears here. Most of us can vouch for their reliability and we're pretty sure they won't cheat you. http://www.valkyrie-exchange.com http://www.tmpanime.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Bukkake Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 The thing is where I go, the dealers beat their prices by $30-$40, plus no tax or shipping. But they aren't well informed, so they wouldn't know a VF-1S from a Gelgoog. I need to know of a visual way to tell without opening it.

Cpt. Bukkake Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 Actually, I take that back the total of $30-$40 less would include the shipping and tax. Not THAT cheap. But you can haggle so you never know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechaninac Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 If you have a chance to view the box in person than just open the widow flap and look at the following: 1. the reissue has the redisigned pilot seat head rest (rounded instead of flat); 2. I'd say that 99 out of a 100, at least, don't have velcro tabs at the corners of the flap (same as with VF-1J Hikaru). Those are the only two obvious ways I know of to quickly differentiate between the different versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Bukkake Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 Thanks for the info, I'll keep it in mind when I go check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxi Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 You have a most disturbing name Capt. Bukkake... Just wanted to comment on that right now. Yeah, it'd be interesting if there was a different SKU. Anyone have both and can check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
