Bmaximum Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 A good friend of mine was telling me about a toys r us exclusive where there was a hikaru 1/48 vf-1(s?) that was packaged with strike armor. While my chances of finding one may be slim and none I'd still like a picture of a packaged one so I can know what I'm looking for. Can any of you help me out? Thanks! Quote
Eternal_D Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 was this a recent release or is this something old? more info would be appreciated. Quote

feudallordcult Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 i dun understand, just a simple blue box n viola, it's a giftset? Quote
jenius Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 seriously, I was expecting it all in one box like the Super VF-1Js they released. That would have been really cool. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 369627[/snapback] This is just weak!!! I think I can get you GBP-1S gift set. It comes with the VF-1S and the GBP-1S in a UPS box. PM if your interested, . Quote
Bmaximum Posted February 13, 2006 Author Posted February 13, 2006 yeah, me too, I already have them separately, it'd be too hard to house this as a giftset. I'll keep looking anyways though! Thanks for the assist! Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Meh. What is the pricing for this wonderous giftset? Quote
Macross73 Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 That would have made great bundle for the Holidays. Who knew? Quote
izzyfcuk Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 that's juz a bloody lame giftset, man, i can come out heaps of giftsets with a box like dat Quote
Macross73 Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 I'm not reffering to the blue box packaging its way to big , that would have been trash, I mean the vf1s. but now that its coming out anyway... Anyway what did this sell for? Quote
aaajin Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 why oh why do the toys r us stores in the us dont sell these....my oh my... Quote
Godzilla Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 That is soooo lame, but then againit is a 1/48. Quote
Veritas Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 If it cost a little less than buying them seperatly i could justify the giftset, but otherwise, i don't see anything special at all about that set like others have pointed out. I guess for whatever reason TRU thought it would be easier to sell these off together as an exclusive than seperately. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 That is soooo lame, but then againit is a 1/48. 369741[/snapback] Which means you're going to buy 8 of them right? Quote
vlenhoff Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 (edited) I guess That would be Toy R Us Japan? Is this a real gift set? or a crafty someone trying to throw a fast ball? Wow, that's some crappy packaging. ...but, if Toy R Us is selling it here in the US, I'd go buy it just for fun and I already have two of these suckers I love the 1S!

robokochan Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 I remember those. I thought they were too hokey. Wasn't anything special about them at all. Just a standard TRU gift box with the strike and valk. No stickers or anything to say they were special. ROb Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) What I'd like to see: a hikaru 1j wearing GBP1S armor inside the box plus Fast pack parts. But it would be slightly cheaper than if you had bought everything seperate. All presented in a single box. Then design the box art so it looks distinct, and then call it exclusive. (with something on the box indicating "I'm special from toys r us") Edited February 15, 2006 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote

Fortress_Maximus Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Though if I ever saw one stateside... if the price was right, I'd pick one up! Quote
