pfunk Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 Wouldn't that just piss ya off (sorry 1/60 owners) I'll bet thats what they are going to do Quote
Batou Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 I wouldn't be surprised if they did it in 1/60. Why not? As much as I'd love it in 1/48, I'd take what I could get and be happy about it. Quote
Sebastian Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 It is the most resonable thing to do. The sells will be much better in 1/60 scale than in 1/48. Quote
Sebastian Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 But I will be happy with a GBP armor... even if it is a 1/60 scale. The 1/48... I may diie of joy. Hope YAmato made it. Quote
nench Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 I HOPE , and think its the more reasonable idea , Yamato wil make the GBP in 1/60 scale. Quote
Rune Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 I could happily cope with a 1/60 version. Although as most I think the 1/48 would be better. Either way I would be extremely happy! Quote
Beware of Blast Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 (edited) Judging from Yamato's past Macross toys style of marketing, they will definately roll out the GBP armor in 1/60 scale first. Then they will roll out the 1/48 version in about 6 months to a year later -- after they release news that they're NOT gonna do a 1/48 scale GBP. OR... They might want to make us EVEN happier by rolling out the GBP armor in a scale that's alien to both existing 1/60 and 1/48 yammies... in 1/72 or 1/32 perhaps? Then, they make you buy a 1/72 or 1/32 VF1J along with the armor set, so the you can finally have a complete canon GBP-VF1J. Edited September 13, 2003 by Beware of Blast Quote
elrollo Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 Mmmmm.... GBP... mmmm 1/48...mmmm!! Quote
Radd Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 More than likely it'll see the light of day in 1/60 first, as Yamato seems intent on a complete collection of VF-1s in that scale. I wouldn't be suprised if a 1/48th version followed later in the year. Quote
Etrigan Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 I'm buying the 1/48 Hikaru 1J solely in hopes of a 1/48 GBP release. So Yamato better get one in production fast. Quote
CHAN Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 Here we go again...... I would perfer the 1/48 but would settle for the 1/60 Quote
vlenhoff Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 I'm dressing my 1D 1/60 with Tv Hikaru's FPs right now! What a joy this always is! Bring the GBP on in 1/60 and 1/48! I love both!!!!!!!!! My 1/48 FP's should be here today... right Kevin? Hope they do! B) vic. Quote
Toonz Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 i almost thought that there are some pics to see..... be it 1/60 or 1/48 GBP, i want them all and that includes the 1/55....(still hoping that bandai will do something about it) Quote
Omni Existence Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 Hey, isn't the removable leg design on the 1/60 going to cause problems for the GBP armors for the legs? I mean the leg armour alone is already heavy, what more the full leg armour for the GBP. Just asking is all Quote
Druna Skass Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 Wouldn't that just piss ya off (sorry 1/60 owners)I'll bet thats what they are going to do No because then I could afford it... Quote
VF-1Guy Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 I'd be happy to get one in either scale. It's better than what we have right now! Quote
007-vf1 Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 has anyone started building one in 1/48 yet?? Quote
drifand Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 The more I look at 1/48s in Battroid mode, the more I see in my mind's eye how badly distorted the GBP may be due to the nosecone's length. Even for the 1/60s, I expect the armor to be highly restrictive if it's ever made. We should forget about any cool poses for an Armored Valk - it's either hatches open or closed. And that should be cool enough. :-) Quote
scand Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 I will be so upset if Yamato doesn't give us a GBP for the 1/60's. The 1/48's are beutiful and all but I want a complete collection of 1/60 valks. That includes FP upgrades, SDF Max, and Kakizaki too!! Quote
Rivervale_Elves Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 As long as it is a GBP armor i want it. whatever scale...whichever company's Quote
trueblueeyes Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Color me cynical, but I don't really expect to see the GBP armor in 1/60 scale. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see it in that scale! But then again, I have been wanting the fp upgrade parts for over a year now and.... I would really love to see the line finished... I'm just afraid it has been largely abandoned for the 1/48's. I will admit that the design and qc problems on the VE-1 have helped to form that opinion. <_< Here is hoping that Yamato will prove me wrong. And it would be nice to have a 1/60 GBP to go along with the monster and the Q-Rau. Of course, I would also love a 1/48 scale GBP! mmm! Quote
scand Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 ^Word^ Thats the way I feel too! I'm sorta afraid that the Ostrich and Elint are going to be the last offerings from Yamato as far as the 1/60 VF series goes. I'm still waiting on the FP upgrades aswell Quote
drifand Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 I know I've said in before a 1/60 GBP may not be possible beause of the chestplate design blocking the shoulders, but who knows? If the edge of the GBP chestplate doesn't wrap over the edges of the VF-1, maybe the shoulders won't be blocked. For all we know, Yamato could remake the VF-1s as better proportioned, semi-perfect transformation (no integrated heatshield) toys in an all-new universal 1/72 scale... Quote
robokochan Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Wouldn't that just piss ya off (sorry 1/60 owners)I'll bet thats what they are going to do Interesting Avatar...now I am going to have muppet nightmares.. I think it will be 1/60 scale first...like a testing of the waters thing. But then again they did the Fast-Pack thing in 1/48 soooo. Only Graham knows Quote
Jawjaw Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 I seriously doubt it. If Yamato ever does the GBP, it would have to be a totally redesigned valkyrie to handle it. Yamato did not just throw out fastpacks to clip on like the 1/55's, so I doubt they will do that for the GBP. Quote
Skull Leader Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Being that my collection is ALMOST exclusively 1/60s (better to have spacewise), I'd rather have a 1/60 GBP.... the 1/48s take up a lot of space... ADD TO THAT when you consider the fast packs... an the GBP would be even bulkier... nah, the 1/60 would definately be the preferred way to go. Quote
vlenhoff Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 This is out of context, but... I JUST GOT MY 1/48 FAST PACKS! They are awesome! Oh greatness! I got one for Hikaru and one for Roy! I also noticed that the sticker sheet has a green skull, mmmmm.... Oh well, and BTW, why was the GBP subject brought up? Did anyone saw, or read something about it? vic. Quote
MicronianDevil Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 A 1/60 GBP would be great!!! I hope Yamato releases it. It would almost make up for my disappointment at Yamato for not releasing the 1/60 Fast Pack kit. Quote
Skull Leader Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 (edited) Vlenhoff..why did you post that here??? there's only a million other 1/48 fastpack topics you could've posted in. Please remain on topic here, thanks. Edited September 14, 2003 by Skull Leader Quote

Only Graham knows AS for the avatar, I saw it on an offroad forum and allmost wet myself, a bunch of guys here are ussing it on thier fantasy football. I hope it at least gets a few laughs, even though its pretty sick <_< I had another thought on the GBP 1/48, since the nosecone would posibly be a problem. Maybe thats why the front part of the nose cone is removable?? I really would like to see something like that in 1/48, everything would open and be detailed so nicely mmm mmm good Quote
Toonz Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 and i hope that the 1/48 Hikaru VF-1J will somehow be designed to fit the GBP. will it? graham? yamato? Quote
Graham Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Only Graham knows Yes I do, but I ain't saying. Graham Quote
Toonz Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Only Graham knows Yes I do, but I ain't saying. Graham ah! there you go again graham. you are giving hints now Quote
Graham Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 The more I look at 1/48s in Battroid mode, the more I see in my mind's eye how badly distorted the GBP may be due to the nosecone's length. Even for the 1/60s, I expect the armor to be highly restrictive if it's ever made. We should forget about any cool poses for an Armored Valk - it's either hatches open or closed. And that should be cool enough. :-) Drifand is right, due to the length of the 1/48's nosecone the groin armor on the GBP would need to be disproportionaly long. However, I was thinking about this and what if you had to remove the nosecone first before attaching the groin armor. While not anime accurate, it would certainly reduce the length of the GBP groin armor. What do you all think, would you accept having to remove the nosecone to attach the armor or not? Personally, if it gave better looking armor I don't think it would bother me at all. Graham Quote

Graham Thats what I said, Heck, Its covering it anyway,,,,,,,,,,dam it, anyone live close to Graham that can ??hipmotize?? him <_< I vote for remove the nosecone, hey, you cant remove the cone on the 1/60 can you HINT HINT Quote
