xMaDxPeNgUiNx Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Guys, I was wondering if $60 was a good price for this. I actually wanted the Taka version, but could not find it cheap. I thought this might be the next best thing. Theck the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...e=STRK:MEBWN:IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I guess it's ok. I personally wouldn't pay that much for the small version of the SDF-1. Just as long as you like it then it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as long as you like it then it's worth it. I had seen this one go for a little more than what I got it for, so I thought it might be good. Just something new to add to the collection... Thanks!

baronv Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Hi. This was my auction, thanks for the purchase! Hope you enjoy adding the SDF-1 to your collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hevangel2 Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 (edited) I suspect this one is a bootleg. 1. It has simplied chinese label on the box and instruction sheet. 2. The color doesn't exactly match what I have in the memory. 3. It funky labels. 4. It come with a SD valkyire, which is NOT packaged with any SDF-1 as I known 5. From looking at the photos, I don't think it can transform at all. 6. Last, I don't see any matchbox logo on the box from the photo. In my opinion, it's definitely doesn't worth US$60. I won't even pay for the shipping cost even the item itself is free. Plus, the real thing (taka or matchbox version) is only $30 more! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3183776645 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=19198 Edited March 28, 2004 by hevangel2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewilen Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 5. From looking at the photos, I don't think it can transform at all. No 1/6300 scale Takatoku or Matchbox SDF-1 can transform. Only the 1/3000 does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one of them. There's a ton of diecast in these things, but until like 6 months ago you wouldn't get more than $30 for them, then the price shot up. Some people have been saying they are transformable in their auctions though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one_klump Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 (edited) wow, I had that thing when I was a kid, I played with it until the carriers wouldn't stick to the arms anymore. I would definatly pay $60 for it. --edit-- wait, now that I take a close look at it, it does seem to be a bootleg, the red landing gear are a giveaway, the landing gear on mine was die-cast. Also, the body wasn't super-white, like this one. However, I might be wrong, mine transformed, and came packaged in a window box Edited March 30, 2004 by one_klump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewilen Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 (edited) Note that this is the Harmony Gold labelled version, not the Matchbox one. That probably is the reason for the small differences noted. Also why would anyone bootleg this particular toy--if you're going to go to the trouble, why not bootleg the 1/3000? Finally, if you're remembering a transforming SDF-1, then you're either thinking of the 1/3000 one, or one of the really crappy small ones.

one_klump Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Now that I think about it, I am pretty sure it was the 1/3000 scale I had. It was Matchbox, and it also transformed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
