nightmareB4macross Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 I think I will wait to see what other vendors will have offered up as a pre-sale price for the GBP. Hopefully, a group buy is in the works. Quote

Mr March Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Damn, it's pricy. Oh well, I knew it would be, so I better get it over with now and at least save a little. Quote

Valk-1S Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Do you think HLJ made a mistake with the release date? I would think Yamato would release the GBP at the same time as the re-release VF-1J, which is December and also in the GBP post below it is mention as a December release. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...ndpost&p=326876 Price was a big jump from what the estimate it to be. If I recalled it was estimated to cost about 8000 Yen. Thats a 50% price jump. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Arghhhhhhh!!!! February? Why do we have to wait for so long? Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 WTF? Why does HLJ state, "It requires both cement and painting to complete or use." for the GBP? Quote

Fortress_Maximus Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Greedy bastards not all of us can afford these prices just for parts. Quote
Valk-1S Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 After seeing the GBP pricing, I will be scared to see the VF-0S price next year. Quote
kensei Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 I agree with Valk-1S. What the hell happened to the 9000 Yen they promised us? Quote
Gabe Q Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Maybe the huge price increase of oil is causing inflation. Who knows? Quote
doodler7 Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Maybe the huge price increase of oil is causing inflation. Who knows? 327080[/snapback] I agree, all petrolium based products including "injection/blow moldings" will be affected, so heck yeah, expect a price increase as price per barrel increases. But don't worry, it'll probably take another 100 years before we run out of fossil fuel...hah hah...j/k...that's plenty of time to save up for a real GBP-1 armor system. Just save $10 a week, don't buy that hamburger or fast-food, for 20 weeks, and you'll be good! Anyway, 2 pre-order for me. I told my fiancé that once i get these parts...that this is it, no more toys! Heh heh... Quote
1 VF-1 2NV Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Yeah right...no more toys . Wait till the 1/48 scale vt-1 and ve-1 comes out. Then what . Quote
Sebastian Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Also the Zinc Panic Radar says the GBP will be released in December http://www.zincpanic.com/radar.phtml Maybe HLJ is right. If Yamato say DECEMBER, sure we will get the toy in February. Quote
doodler7 Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Heh, unfortunately, I'll probably end up getting them...I'll sell my old transformers. I'm just amazed on how you guys are able to keep up...and not just that, but to be able to buy 3 or 4 or 6 valkryies at a time! I think it's time to bartend at night. Quote

You do that and you wn't have any problems keeping up. You may have problems with keeping the bar girls around after they see the vast amounts of toys you have. Although it was never a problem for me......Maybe because I did'nt keep them around long enough to make a stink over it. Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 That's what I said about the Yamato! Originally, I was a Takatoku/ Bandai 1/55 freak until I got my first Yamato VF-1S 1/48. To me the 1/48 was much better in person than the pictures. Next thing you know I got the other 3 DYRL 1/48 along w/ the Fast Strike Pack. So yeah, just imagine when the VT-1 and VE-1 are in the making!! Not to mention the Destroids and other vilian mecha. Yeah right...no more toys . Wait till the 1/48 scale vt-1 and ve-1 comes out. Then what . 327101[/snapback] Quote
doodler7 Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 Speaking of getting and catching up with the Yamato valkryies, check out this link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=5997668638 This is a 1/48 Low Viz auction. I think this has been circulated three times now because of the prices just getting bumped-up too high...or am I wrong? The user "chikcchikc" seem to bid on this multiple times raising prices...wth? Do you guys know this user? Quote
calvin Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 i'm convinced that certain people "help" sellers out by jacking bids for them and increasing the final price!,it sucks but it's Ebay! Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 Sounds like a possible shill bidder. Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 I think I'll pass on the preorder as I'ma get in on a group buy!!! Quote
Valk-1S Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 (edited) HLJ may have their release date wrong for the GBP. Just checked Hobby Search and they have it for December. Also they have the VF-1J to be restock in december. http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/shop_right_e.asp...&ItKey=&SPage=1 Edited September 13, 2005 by Valk-1S Quote
doodler7 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Group hug, huh? Nice. Both for the GBP and the CF? Oh well ... I have around 18 weeks to save up for two GBP-1 armor and the VF-1J. Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 (edited) And then there's this to put it on http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00025 If you missed it the first time that is. 326965[/snapback] Well I preodered 1/48 VF-1J Hikaru along with the GBP-1S armor Edited September 13, 2005 by VF-18S Hornet Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 (edited) Lookin' GOoooD!!!! Valk-1S : http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/shop_right_e.asp...&ItKey=&SPage=1 Edited September 14, 2005 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 holy crap those pics make me want to shell the money out for that thing so badly. Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I certainly don't feel the urge to open my wallet for this one. Sure I want one but I still believe we are getting gouged by very greedy Yamato. These are just parts that cost nearly as much as the 1/48 when it came out years ago. WTF? I am sure others have noticed this as well, but if we really want this we will have our wallets raped. Quote
