Chet Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I don't know if all the details of the armor's release are already set in stone, but what if Yamato releases it in the same manner as the TV FAST Packs? Would it be okay with you if you could only get it as part of an "Armored Valkyrie" package? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 No. I'll only buy it if its just the armor. Besides, it's the only reason I picked up Hikaru's VF-1J without any Fast Packs. I knew it'd only be a matter of time before Yamato release the GBP Armor in 1/48 scale. Welcome to the MW Forums Chet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I already have 2 of the 1/48 Hikaru VF-1J, so I don't really need or want another one. I'd prefer to buy the GBP armor by itself, not bundled together with a Valk. Of course, if Yamato release the armor together with a never before released 1/48 variant, for example a VF-1A Cannon Fodder, then I would buy it.

Chowser Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 (edited) i would buy it packaged with a valk only if it is not hikaru's 1j or any of the others that were released. i bought a super 1j, took the armor off and gave it to the 1s (super tv-hikaru) so i have a plain hikaru 1j waiting for armor. or pack it with a TV Max VF-1A!!!

mech9T8 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I don't have Hikaru VF-1J so I'm banking on the fact that they'll be released together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snip312 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I hope they release it with the cannon fodder cus when/if the time comes and they decide to bundled it with the VF-1J, there will be a lot of "Js" for sale. Anyone want to pre-order my VF-1J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I hope they consider rereleasing the Supers since they probably rerelease the 1Js too... maybe not... Damn you.... oh nm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osean Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 (edited) I hope they pack it with a VF-1S Hikaru or maybe a 1S low-viz Since I missed out on the super armor, I wish Yamato would release like a limited edition Super Duper Armor Bundle Pack! That comes with valk, super armor and GBP armor. That would be so awesome... sigh, but thats wishful thinking.

connor99 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I would love to get my hands on a 1/48 CF, but it looks like YAMATO isn't even considering on making these. So, I guess it's just the armor for me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to do this as well, if only I owned those Valkyries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonz Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 it will be real silly if yamato were to put out another 1J again and so i will prefer a 1A-CF or a low viz. at least its a different valk or a valk that many of us still desire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmareB4macross Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Definitely with a valk...VF-1A Cannon Fodder. or maybe Yamato might just go the same route they did with the 1/60 and do armour with and with out the VF. Let's pray they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwayne Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 buying whatever it comes with. if they come out with a package with valk and a package without valk, I'll get both. already have a VF-1J hikaru standing by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I am definetelly getting two GBPs. One for custom. So I will need an extra VF, if they sell a set of valk and armor, I am getting one, I just hope they wont ONLY sell it in that way, the armor set alone is gonna be arround USD 100, so I dont wanna imagine the price of the set.

ewilen Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Not getting it. I'm out of room for toys, and I haven't even gotten a Q-Rau yet. And I'm not that much a fan of the GBP, so the 1/60 version is good enough for me. So I didn't vote, but I think Yamato's smartest move would be to sell the GBP both alone and packaged with a Valk that can't be gotten by itself, such as a 1A CF.

CF18 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 This is totally pointless since we know it will be released at 8000yen alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensei Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 But Yamato cannot assume that everyone who have just heard of this vlak has gotten a VF-1J already. They will release it with the VF-1J too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evanta Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 well there's 2 compromises: 1. 2 Different Types, bundled and non-bundled with VF-1J 2. Non-bundled, but VF-1J is reissued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensei Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Or 3. Bundled and non-bundles, reissued VF-1J and Super VF-1J. Bit extreme, but is a possiblilty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigkid24 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Since I'm not into buying multiple valks just to have multiples (unless it makes sense like the CF) I'd like to see a 1/48 CF with the GBP and the GBP released by itself. I'd buy one of each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnurmin Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Bundled it with a VF-1A CF, then I'll buy a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I didn't buy a 1J when it was super cheap just because I expected the armor to come with it in a bundle when it finally gets released.... I still have my fingers crossed. I have a RF 1S with strike parts and a LV I like naked so I wouldn't have any reason to buy the armor unless I could land a 1J or comparable other 1/48 with it... here's to hoping we see some re-issues! (or some new ones like a TV Max or CF) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 ah, i can talk all the BS i want, i have 3 super 1J's and i'll probably end up buying the armor and the bundled set.....how else are you suppose to get the cool box? BTW, i'm the dumbass that bought the regular 1J just to keep the blue box. 1st super 1J, armor goes to LV#1, 1J get sacrificed for the 1D project. 2nd super 1J, armor goes to TV roy, 1J planning to sport fulcys armored gerwalk project. 3rd super 1J, armor stays on 1J or goes to LV#2 depending. 1J gets outfitted with the TH armor if that gets made. 4th 1J GBP, stay as is. GBP armor only, goes to LV#3. well thats my plans so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortress_Maximus Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I'll gladly sacrifice storing your 1-J on your behalf Haterist. Oh and I'd prefer it being released w/just the armor but hell I'd still get it even with a valk regardless of what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurin Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Not to be a whiney little jerk, but I wish people would put a little more time/effort into figuring out the best possible poll questions. This poll could have definitely used the following possible answers: Yes, I will buy it with a valkyrie, as long as the valkyrie is a previously unreleased one (CF, etc.) Yes, I will buy it even if it comes with a previously released valkyrie (Hikaru 1J, etc.) You get the idea. Again, I don't mean to nit-pick, but a poll is only as usefull as the questions it asks. . . H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combined arms Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Oh, and to answer the question at hand, I think it will depend what valk it ships with. The only 1/48 scale that I own is a low-viz (that is currently in need of a BP8 replacement). I'd love to try out the GBP armor on it, but in general I prefer the low-viz in fighter mode. Therefore, I would need another 1/48 to wear the armor anyway. I'm not all that concerned about it being anime accurate on a vf-1j. whichever one looks the coolest is fine with me. If Yamato wants to make the most money, they should release the armor at first bundled with a cannon fodder 1a. The fairest strategy to the fans and their bottom line would be to release it bundleed w/ a cf and as a standalone armor at first, then after a delay they should release the cf as a standalone. that way, they'll cover all bases: the hardcore collectors w/ multiple valks, the poor collectors like me who want to get the most for their money, and the moderate fan who would just want the cf. <sigh> i need more cash.

Fugly Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I'll get it with valk with armor, especially since I don't have any 1/48's. Also, the VF-1J is my favorite sculpt of the whole line... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 i bought a super 1j, took the armor off and gave it to the 1s (super tv-hikaru)so i have a plain hikaru 1j waiting for armor. I did exactly the same thing . Graham Done that as well. I would get more valks with the armor. Why? Because I do a lot of customization especially the 2-seater project capt america is working on.
