Super O or Elint?

[admin1 aka Ed]

So in the vintage world, have we finally figured out which is more desireable, a Bandai Hi Metal Elintseeker or a Hi Metal Super Ostrich?

Cuss, discuss

You see a lot less Elintseekers come up for sale... and it seems they sell for more generally, so I guess I would say Elintseeker.

I don't know. Both are really nice and I know the super ostrich is really a trainer with the funky head but it has weapons and fast packs. Definitely things you need! Plus it is orange, come on I mean who wouldn't rock one of those?

[admin1 aka Ed]

I'm guessing the Super O with the white coloration ....... Heck, maybe someone has a good reason for one or the other.

For me personally I like the Super O better, but the Elintseeker seems rarer... so more in demand?

[mecha-mania]

I guess it would have to be the elintseeker. It usually ends higher in ebay auctions as compared to the super o. And its pretty darn rare these days, especially those in more minty conditions.

I have to agree that the elint is indeed more rare than the Super O, I don't see much selling a mint Elint in most of the boards I often visits

elintseeker all the way

Elint & Super O.....HOLY Grails for the Macross vintage stuff.....nice!!!

[admin1 aka Ed]

interesting Mojacko. well you picture proves my thought...that the Super O is on a par just due to aging issues and white plastic .

I hate it when unused toys degrade *-*

That depends on my picture for example , the super O one in the box is super minty white while the one outside has some minro yellowish (its a 25 year old toy remember)
but i guess the Elintseeker looks like it just came out of the package

How i wish Bandai would re incarnate this 2 Vintage Macross Goodies on Macross 30th Anniversary.....plus those cute little Super Deformed Valks and the SDF as well!!!
