The size of that box looks larger than normal!

Will add on packs or extra munitions be included beyond the stand and normal accessories?

Good eye. That looks even bigger than the boxes that come with stands.

EDIT

If I didn't have two Yamatos's.............................................

The price is more or less what I expected, but the shipping from Amazon Japan...ouch. 

$50 in this day and age is ouch?

I didn't make it 5min. The anti male sexist messaging was too grating. My wife felt the same.

I’ve always liked @lordmasterprince’s brown GBP custom:  

I’m sure someone could scheme some ideas for M&M and some other Valks too.

That's sweet!

Easiest method is probably an airbrush and some stencils/templates so you can be consistent.

Could even cut the templates on a CNC, or print them up with a 3D printer.

I believe in the US, people don't use the 'garage' as intended to be used. 

But don't get me wrong though. How I wish I have a garage so I can fill it up with toys. 

 

I do! It's a extra deep three car with 12' ceilings, one super fast car, mountain bikes and whole lot of tools/equipment. NO LAWN CARE STUFF AT ALL.

^^Customize three of the GBP armors 😉

I’m sure there’s a ton of ideas you can glean from the board and galleries here.

I got an extra set of armor just in case I want to do that Roy setup that Bandai displayed. The big problem is the tampo printing. Specifically the stripes. How do you get close to replicating that? From what I understand about @Anasazi37's method for making water slides that would be one heck of a project.

If I had water slides to do a Roy it would alreday be in process. the one Bandai showed is awesome.

A bunch of non cannon GBP's would be fun. Stealth, Low Vis, Camo, etc. But man, the cost of all of the valks, armor and custom work needed would be pretty impressive.

Though not my type she did rock that late 90s look with her pixie cut.

 

 

I gave her 5 extra points for the black pixie cut and leather/latex suit.

Throw in a couple of tasteful tattoo's and piercings and I would have lost my mind.

Where do you keep all of this stuff? For fun I tracked your purchases over a 30 day period and it was somewhere around 100 figures like above and 120 "Matchbox" type cars (plus other random stuff). What do you do with all of that stuff? If you extrapolate that out to multiple years that is a lot of cubic feet of toys. Do you display them? Do they sit in boxes? How big is your house?!?!

In my head I imagine you have a basement that looks like a Toys R Us with rows of retail displays packed with stuff.

How are we pricing the VF1J original release now ? With buying the GBP set i have my original sitting around. Has it dropped back to retail levels due to the double pack or is it higher because it was a first run

The current going price for the first release VF1J seems to be stable at 42k yen unopened and has not been affected by the re-release as far as I can see it. It will most likely never drop back to MSRP just the nature of this game.

From my perspective I think the OG 1J should see a market value drop. Heck, you can get the 1J/GBP set for the same price! But, I don't care about things being first release, coming with special stand I won't use anyway, rare, etc. To a lot of people that sort of stuff matters.

If I was smart (and had the time) I would sell my four OG VF-1J's and use that money to buy VF-1J/GBP sets......and effectively have four free sets of GBP armor. What I would do with them I have no idea.

It's the hyper mode that the 00 Raiser goes into for 30 seconds or so, hence the rainbow colored look to it.

I was going to say something funny here. But some Woke-a-Nazi with zero sense of humor would have lost their mind.

You know that's a good question. I think of Pontiac Firebirds. 

 

Perhaps the speed is the reference to cars? In universe its just referred to as Trans-Am right off the bat with no explanation. 

Yeah, me too. The Trans Am was named after the Trans American racing series.

Think going super saiyan but for a Gundam. I am guessing the creators thought the name sounded cool or it for the fact the Gundam's speed was overclocked. 

It would be interesting if intentionally or not intentionally it was derived from American car culture. It's not like Japan doesn't have its own strong car culture.

Maybe someone in Gundam creation inc just likes Trans Am's.

What is the Tran Am reference too? Traditionally Tran Am is short for Trans American and is used in reference to racing.

Agreed, the dbl-jointed armatures are nice, box mode is kinda cool, and you are correct, no transformation on Titan but it is quite huge and definitely has a presence...

The Titan is one of my favorite "toys". I've posed it more than everything else I have combined and it's taken more than a few headers off the shelf with no damage. It's just plain fun. And looks cool.

HLJ is now accepting POs on the said 50 volumes for the add-on VF-1 Strike Parts. First 3 volumes will be released in January 2022. Each volume cost Y1817. Total of Y90850.

This ticks me off. They said that they weren't going to make these so I didn't get the VF-1S. Now it's too late.

Same here, it took me years to go for a less powerful engine, but I am so glad I finally did it.

 

Less powerful to me is 800hp.

My problem is that I have been around really fast cars and motorcycles my entire life. My perceptions are all screwed up. If it's not trying to kill me........it's too slow.

I wish I were more mature.........HaHa, not really!

Liked the first one. The second was TERRIBLE.

I didn’t realize the orange parts on the shield were metallic until those later pictures. They reflect the light at odd angles. 

Personally I’d be worried about knocking that thing over. Maybe ding a large case to keep those pointy bits from snagging anything.

That's the top of a Detolf. I could maybe hit it with my head....if I tried to.

It's going in one of my big cases soon. I have another coming and a "big move" going on as far as displays go in the next few weeks.

I don't know, a 1/32 battroid only vf-1 could be cool.

Very true, And I think they do an Optimus Prime about that big so it's possible.

Venom 2 was TERRIBLE
