I would be very surprised if Yamato made all of their 1/48 plans based soley on the performance of similar 1/60 items in the market. Where was their 1/60 VF-1S Hikaru? My point is, if fans want a 1/48 set of GBP armor and don't buy the 1/60, Yamato will get wind of it and act accordingly if they care about their meal ticket. Certainly, nothing is 100% guaranteed, but if the profit margin is there, I'd be surprised if they didn't do it. As tight lipped as Yamato has been about things lately curt, cold responses to fan questions don't surprise me.

Damn shadows.

So am I the only one that thinks they resemble 1/48 CF feet?

I don't know if this pic has made it's way over here yet, or if the Valk in question is a custom, but check out the legs in the top left corner on the new "launch arm" stand:

This is the first I remember hearing about them (almost a month ago): Yamato 1/48 Valkyries, Max & Milia

There's always battroid and gerwalk modes.

If it were the DYRL? launch arm, I'd be a lot more excited about it. It seems to be an attempt at such, while still making a functional stand.

Well, here in the US at most e-retailers, the Yamato 1/48 are closer to about $130. And considering the Valks themselves and the FAST packs are plastic, what makes you think the GBP armor would be metal?

Whoah! That's a pretty big estimate. I'd say more like $190 - $200 with the Valkyrie (not taking into consideration the strenght of the dollar against the yen at the point of it's hypothetical release) and somewhere between $65 to $80 for the armor by itself if they offer it that way.

No, I need to talk myself out of this now, before it's too late.

Yeah, for $37 bucks I can get a couple of Sithlord's stands and have change left over. From what I've seen of this thing, it isn't special enough for me to waste $37 bucks on. Especially if you can't even attach the gunpod on the Valk while it's on the stand.

I'd say since they're already marked up before you consider the $22-$32 shipping (from Hong Kong), and since you can still get them from Tam and Kevin, that this qualifies as absurd: MACROSS 20 Characters Sharpener Figures -Full

If you mean GBP armor, then nobody knows. At least nobody is saying anything. I would buy it as I'm sure other 1/48 fans would. We'll have to wait and see.

I was about to suggest that your boss was Satan.

Yes, but I hear the 1/60 Monster will double as a mini-fridge. Score!

I'm surprised at the number of people sitting out. What's the reasoning? a) I've got enough 1/48s b) I'm sick of the VF-1 c) too expensive/I'm poor d) I don't particularly like the Max/Miria scheme e) space is becoming an issue

Guess which finger I'm holding up. From the smell of it, I'd say it was your thumb. This about sums it up.

not help, a girlfriend instead It's not a in the picture though. Ya, a GF into anime... and Macross rollplaying Start looking here. Maybe you'll get lucky.

I wasn't aware that anyone from Yamato posted here.

Mmmmm...nothin' makes waffles like a PS3!

Guess which finger I'm holding up.

Yeah, but you always over-do it.

Looks like we may see a sale at some point.
