WTB - VF 1/55 Valkyrie for XMAS Macross Bandai Takatoku

[ChaosTheory]

Anyone out there happen to have a VF 1/55 scale Macross Valkyrie aka 'Chunky Monkey' Bandai/Takatoku mold?

I am looking to pick one up as a gift for my son for xmas, would prefer VF-1S but will consider others. Prefer MISB but MIB may be fine. Reissues over original toys please - to keep costs down. Also, Super kit or Jet by itself (prefer super kit)

This is an example of what I'm after


Fair prices please, I'm obviously not wanting to pay BIN eBay or Amazon prices, but will pay a fair price for the right one. Thanks!!

Thanks so much!

He's really in to the G1 toy line and this would be as close as I can get to a G1 Jetfire that is suitable to play with

Agreed. Great gift!

Though I have held both in my hands and I have to admit G1 Jetfire is much more sturdier than the reissue Bandai 1/55ths

This place in TO might have them

This seems to unfortunately be the cheapest and brownest choice available around now...


This one may be worth a bet!

Yeah, the brown is my last choice.. Maybe if it had a 1S head sculpt it would be a different story :/

There is a possibility that tod Graves from toytrove may have one or something similar on stock. Check his sponsor page or email him. He gets backs right away most times. Good guy!
