So, I really only got into collecting at the beginning of November. And when it comes to the new releases from CM's, Beagle, Toynami, and Megahouse, it's pretty dang easy to find good deals and know who is a cracksmoking jerkwad and is jacking up their prices to fleece people.

However, when it comes to vintage items, not so much... I'm looking at ebay for older stuff (like the few good Matchbox items, classic Gakken gear, and Bandai Macross items), and it's just hard to know when it's a good deal, and when it's not. It's not like I can take my hovertank to the antiques road show and have them appraise it either, so I'm curious if anyone's got a good resource for what this stuff tends to go for, or if it's just all spur of the moment etc etc....

Personally I don't really depend on "appraisal" guides when I'm looking for something for my collection because after all a "collectable" is ultimately only worth as much as someone is willing to pay...

Now that being said... The best thing I can tell you... and this is coming from someone who has been collecting most of his life... research what you want to buy...

Like you said... there are plenty of jerks out there who will hick up the prices... and then there are some sellers that have something that is genuinely hard to find and is worth paying the extra cost rather then spend years looking...

I tend to do a lot of "Watching" on EBay... You'll find that there are plenty of certain items out there... and in those cases... you really look for the deals... then there are the rare items... things you may see only once a year... if that.

Those are the ones you really keep an eye on...

Now it also depends on exactly what you see as more valuable for your collection.

For me... I like Odd ball stuff... Things like my original "Robotech The Movie: The untold Story" poster... That is something that is worth a lot... to me... now to someone else... it might not be worth the paper it was printed on... Luckily... Mine was given to me.

Building up a nice collection takes years... unless you happen upon some poor soul in financial trouble and manage to snag a nice starter collection for a steal.

Use your best judgment….

I’ll give you an example… recently I picked up a nice lot of Macross items… Now the lot total was $70 bucks… but it had a full set of the 1:100 transforming VFs, 3 of the Revoltech figures, 6 of the little “Deformed” VFs, some smaller transformable VF’s as well as some really nice detailed small scale destroids. It also came with like 6 other small scale transformable VFs…

Now for me the lot was worth it because the cost of the 1:100 transformables like they sell on RT.com sell for as much as $39 each on Ebay…. That alone is well worth what I paid for the lot… Then there are the Revoltech VFs… Now those can run you anywhere from $9 bucks to $26 bucks depending on which VF it is… the VF-1A tends to be the cheapest… while the VF-1S (Fokker), and the VF-1Js (Max and Milia) tend to run on the upper end, and that doesn’t even include the shipping costs…(which usually is higher if they are coming from over seas.)

Now some of the older stuff like the large scale Matchbox SDF-1, just be prepared to pay well for one… especially if it’s in good condition. Those can run easily $100 for even just a decent one. But as always deals can be found... if you watch long enough you could get lucky and catch other bidders with their pants down.

Now the Destroid mecha.. like the Matchbox Raider X, Spartan, etc…. Those you can find as cheap as $5… and you can get lucky and find them in lots regularly… so watch out for the guys that try and sell them for $15…. There are plenty of them out there so just look for the deals.

Now Invid Mecha tend to hold more value then others… even when the market is flooded with them.. People just love the Invid mecha and they can sell high… but always watch for the deals… they are out there… I’ve found them.

Now the Destroid Monsters… they can very… Here lately there has been a bunch of sellers flooding the market with them…. So there are plenty of them to go around… they can run on average of about 20-25 in this time…. Now when the Market dries up be ready to pay as much as $50 for them.

It’s a selling cycle… Watch for the Spikes… be on the look out for when the “market” gets flooded with a certain item… That’s when deals are good.


Well Hope this helps you out….

This is helpful - thank you!

Yeah, you touched on one of the ones I'd love to have again, and that's the Bandai issue of the Takatoku SDF-1. I have no idea what happened to the one I had as a kid, but I'd really like to get my hands on one again.

Other than that one, I'm mostly into the Mospeada stuff - the old Gakken Alphas and large Cyclones are something I'd like to get as well. Not so much the smaller ones - I had one of them, and they're so dang fragile (at least, in my memory).

Thanks again for the response - much appreciated.

Mark Warlock's advise is sound.

"research what you want to buy.." & "Use your best judgment…."

I do allot of selling of toys from Japan the only other thing I would add is don't low ball a seller. It only wastes both the seller's and the buyer's time. Always offer what an item is worth to you.

If a seller is asking for some crazy high price don't even bother contacting them. Most of the time they will be bunt with communication or down right rude.

I've offered help finding RT goods here on this site but nobody has ever contacted me.

Just this week I've seen these RT toys in Tokyo.

RT toys pop up fairly often here and usually never sell.

Takutoku Macross stuff is plentiful but very expensive but still cheaper than ebay.

OLDER TOYS USUALLY HAVE PROBLEMS FINDING REPLACEMENT PARTS.

BUT WHAT IF THERE WERE REPLACEMENT PARTS THAT CAN BE MADE?

BEEN THINKING ABOUT HELPING FANS GET REPLACEMENT BRAND NEW PARTS AND TO REPLACE OLD OR MISSING PARTS.

JUST THAT THE GUY WHO GETS THEM WOULD HAVE TO PAINT THEM HIMSELF. NOW A DAYS ONE CAN MAKE OLDER VINTAGE TOYS NEW.

BEEN THINKING OF DOING MY MATCHBOX SDF-1 INTO A BIGGER ONE. MAYBE HALF THE SIZE BIGGER UP AND ADD MORE DETAILS AND BETTER PAINT TO IT. TECHNOLOGY IS THERE.

I hate the idea people are buying up the older stock of our childhood toys just for a future winfall (if they are lucky).
I`m a BIG believe a Toy is a TOY & thus has to be enjoyed by physical, visual & mental play.
Oh I`m the first to admit I`m a BIG kid but hey I like customizing too so getting my hands on the toys is always a bonus (wether it will fall under my custom skills or left alone).

If there`s something you truely want, well I say go for it. Try various forums first of all, just incase a fellow fan can help. Try the garage sales, car boots, flea markets etc too. Lastly I would then try ebay & collector stores (as these will probably be jacked high prices).

Recasting old parts and selling them is a fantastic idea. There are a lot of collectors that I know who don't have the patience or skill to retool or cast molds.

Hello all, this is my first post here as I've recent;y been bitten by the vintage Robotech bug. Just watched the series again and remembered how much I loved this all back in the 80's. Never thought I'd get a good vintage toy collection going but I just won a great lot of misc figures that happened to contain every matchbox figure MOC exxcept the robotech master (and HG Minmei) along with an SDF-1 MIB and invid scout MIB. I was shocked and surprised to find so many MOC figures and that invid (which I've wanted since first seeing The New generation).

Now I'm trying to get the battlepods and Veritech fighter. I do customizing/kitbashing too so I am very hip to making parts and restoring old beat up figures. The latest acquisition arrived yesterday which is the Playmates version of the regular Battle pod. It's loose and complete other than the two main antennae. Love the toy and likeness but am wondering what the best option for finding replacement antennae is going to be. Are there any parts dealers on the web that you guys know of or will ebay hunting and hopes for someone casting their own parts be my best bet?

Anyhow, thanks for the great forum/site. Nice to have found this place.
