Nice pic, EXO! Makes me even more sorry for not picking up a 1/48 MAX 1A ! That standing figure of MAX and the made-up seat was an excellent touch!

Thanks for the tip, PAT !

Too bad about the MAX 1A. I've been meaning to pick up a 1/48, but kept putting it off and NOW there's none left ! Lesson learned and moving on. I do hope YAMATO re-releases the HIKARU 1J. I would definitely wanna get another one of those and I'm hoping it would be offered in a GBP Armor combo, just like the TV FP's.

I hope so, too, GODZILLA! Damn greedy bastards ! So sorry I even bought from them before, but hey, ya live and learn!

Hey, ZEO-MARE, that 1A's not looking shabby either , excellent work! Makes me wanna work on mine ! Oh, and dude, get another set of FPs already------ and dress-up that NAKED valk !

Eh, the previews were looking too much like 'The RING"! I think I'd just wait for the DVD and check out "SAW" instead .

Hey, H, the first time I saw that pic was in a post by BLACKACES in the model kits forum for another GBP Armor thread. I don't believe he mentioned the name of the modeler, but you can check here: 1/72 GBP

ewilen Posted on Oct 19 2004, 12:26 PM Also, macross.anime.net refers to the GBP as "ground-combat protector weapon system". Hey, 1st Border Red Devil, this is all you need to know !

I can't believe I've missed this thread before , oh well, better late than never! Here's my oh so humble collection: 1/72 = 0 1/60 = 6 1/48 = 3 (including the 3rd production run VF-1S ROY, I hope !)

SWEEEEEEETTTT! Nice work there, ALAN! Keep it up!

Man, that's one crazy collection alright! and I wish it was MINE!

Hey, JOEL, the only kits I have from the Gundam Seed series are the 1/100 and 1/144 Red Frames, so I can't make any comparisons between these and the most recent releases. Anyway, the kits in both scales look great (suprisingly enough for the 1/144!). The 1/100 version is obviously a lot more articulated. The 1/144 version, just like ZEO-MARE said, might take a little more finesse in having to paint and detail (darn thing's just too small!). But after having to detail it, I think it's good enough to give the 1/100 version a run for it's money. Joel

Thanks, DAT! I guess the MSRP is a little higher with this one, but no problem--I'm still getting me one. I'm just glad and grateful we're being given another chance to pick up a 1/48 ROY !

I'm with EXO on this one, gotta be VOLTES V (that's five! !).

Hey, SHIN, how much is that MSRP again in USD?

doodler7 Posted on Oct 13 2004, 03:53 AM ground-combat protector weapon system? too bulky for space, but rick hunter did fly it when he encountered the Huh?! HIKARU ICHIJO was out in space when he used it, where it would only take a minimal amount of force to get something moving. I don't think the bulkiness was a problem for the U.N. SPACY pilots that it prevented them to use the battroid modes w/ the GBP Armor on.

Man, that was nice! I absolutely love that IVANOV type! BTW, that masterpiece VOYAGER isn't so shabby-looking either .

Opus Posted on Oct 12 2004, 11:53 AM So if it is the TV version could that mean seperate TV fastpacks are in the works? I hope YAMATO would offer it in a combo, just like what they did w/ da 1/48 HIKARU 1J *keeps fingers crossed!* !

nightmareB4macross Posted on Oct 12 2004, 07:40 PM Just from looking at the picture in the lower left hand corner...it appears to be, Gay 'Bot Porn GBP? He-he, it does look gay!

Renato Posted on Oct 11 2004, 06:53 AM Good-Bye, Pal. *BOOM* !

Happy 26th B-day, NEWCA!

Protoplast Posted on Oct 9 2004, 11:04 PM I believe this trend is quickly killing the macross collectors. Many people whom I talk to stop collecting because the toys don't hold value anymore and not sought after when Yamato over-releases different color scheme versions and gets huge price cuts on ebay.. I agree with KENSEI on this one. This kind of trend is definitely good for true MAC fans and collectors 'coz it gives 'em a chance to pick up on something they might have missed out on earlier, which is the case with me. And let's not forget about those folks who are just starting to get into the MACROSS phenomenon. This is a wonderful opportunity for them also.

A second re-release of ROY, cool! Like most of you guys, I, too am taking advantage of this. Just gotta check w/ TAM and KEVIN now....

Don't you guys find it weird that Macross Compendium did not even list the exact words to the GBP acronym. The closest thing they have is "Ground-Combat Protector Weapon System". Of course, this description is accurate enough for me, but NOT for the particular acronym it's trying to describe.

Panzer Posted on Oct 8 2004, 11:05 PM QUOTE (VF-19 pilot!!! @ Oct 8 2004, 10:50 PM) I own about 12 1/48's and some times they are a bit to big looking, when comapred to the rest of my pieces. dear God man... thats almost $2,000.00 in toys if you consider shipping and tax.. either your real rich or real.. nevermind. Well, you obviously have not heard of GODZILLA, KENSEI and/or HATERIST's collections! Yeah, like most of you guys, that's pretty much how I look at my YAMATO collection: 1/48's for display and 1/60's for everything else (although, ya can play w/ a 1/48, too, as most folks would know !).
