Vermillion21 Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 I thought the VF-0A was going to be released at the end of Sept too! Quote
Veritas Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 (edited) Kakizaki 1A box That box is pretty hideous. *shudder* Edited September 10, 2006 by Veritas Quote
UN Spacy Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Kakizaki 1A box WHAT. THE. SUCK?!?!?!? Why couldn't they stay with the black DYRL boxes? Quote
big F Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Mmm not so sure about the box. Definatley one to display and put the box in a dark cupboard. Quote
promethuem5 Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Oh.....so they box art CAN get worse.... Quote
Toonz Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 i'll pass on this. already made one from my hikaru 1A months ago. Quote
Bub Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 may i share my forecast? many fans are not gonna get this Hayao Kakizaki version. then a couple of shrewd "hoarders" will fill their homes with this until it becomes scarce....... then the fans will notice how rare this item is. "hoarders" will then post their Hayao's in ebay at a not so ridiculous price to test the waters...... then the auction fetches him 2.5 to 3 times the original price!!!! Quote

Dante74 Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I like the new boxdesigns Yamato makes. Way better than the old simple dull black boxes. Quote
vlenhoff Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 I prefer the dull black boxes. I do like the chest piece design, but I'd rather they use it in a low opacity form combined with the black back ground. Quote
Fly4victory Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Has anyone received a set of the new Low Vis armor yet? Quote
wwwmwww Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Both Astrobit City and Volks have displays for the new Low Visibility Wood Land color Gbp-1s armor with retail box. Larger pics click below. pic 1 pic 2 pic 3 pic 4 Why does pic 1 have a different valk in the Gbp-1s armor then then other pics? Is the first pic of the Astrobit City display and the other 3 of the Volks display or vice versa? Carl Quote
Veritas Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Why does pic 1 have a different valk in the Gbp-1s armor then then other pics? Is the first pic of the Astrobit City display and the other 3 of the Volks display or vice versa? Carl Yeah the difference in valks used is because the pictures are from the different store displays. I don't which display is from where though. Quote
Radd Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Has anyone received a set of the new Low Vis armor yet? I have mine and it's all stickered up. Fantastic piece, a great addition to my collection. I hated the bland look and colours of the regular GBP, but considered getting one anyways because I do like the design, this one however looks fantastic, the colours are perfect, and it convinced me to grab a Low Vis.2, which I was going to pass on (It looks a lot better in person, all decaled up, than it does in the online pictures I'd seen). Quote
kensei Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Yeah I got mine too and the LVII as well. When I checked it out for myself, the CF just doesn't suit the GBPII. Colours are great on both pieces, strong and dark. Quote
Fly4victory Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 That is great news that it looks better first hand. I am jealous. Mine is still sitting on Pre-Order. Quote
kensei Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 (edited) Hey I waited a long time too, to save on the shipping. I'm stingey. not rich like Lord KungFu, who can have his own helicopter fly it from the store to the airport and send it to me over the other side of the equator by concorde.

Fly4victory Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 I paid for the fast shipping but come up with the short end of the stick. It hasn't been shipped yet and I pre-ordered in May. Quote
Roy's Blues Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 same story... Mine's awaitng shipment with my Angel Birds @ Neova's house :-( Quote
kensei Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) Well I hope you guys can make your decisions with these pics whether it's worth it or not. I have to say, this GBP came out a lot darker than I thought. Like they fricken fried it too long or somethin. Edited September 20, 2006 by kensei Quote
Fly4victory Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I want my new GBP! I had it on order before the lime green was changed to tan. The GBP family photo looks great. Quote
kensei Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) Thanks. you can imagine though, that any amount of white to the GBPII will spoil it. Lucky I ordered extra LVIIs. Edited September 20, 2006 by kensei Quote
do not disturb Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 oh looks nice but i made the mistake of getting 2 set of the regualr GBP armor and can't justify spending more money on it. if/when i sell one of the blue GBPs, then i'll pick up the the camo. Quote
Fly4victory Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Justify? Simply recognize that Macross is an obsession…it will relieve the guilt. Quote
Godzilla Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 then the limo driver takes it straight to his warehouse. You guys got it all wrong. He owns his own trucking company so he had the container shipped and then trucked to his warehouse in the desert. Remember he buys in bulk. Quote
promethuem5 Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Hmmm...for some reason, your pics of it next to the normal release GBP (one of my favs) makes me want this armor and the LVII even less...I wasn't planning on buying either before, but now I really don't want the armor ever... something about the comparison shot just kills it for me... Quote

I gotta say it defintely came out alot darker than i thought it would, but i think it makes a pretty good contrast to the original. It's too bad it only goes really well with the Low Viz 2, meaning you'll have to be spending 250+ to get the right look. Quote

This khaki scheme is much better than lime green. I must admit, I'm not amazed by this, and this makes me want to consider the practical considerations of having a GBP operate on earth, but it's a worthy addition.

Arthurius Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Can you guys Include the green armor with the following if you have it: 1) vf-1a hikaru/max with Green armor 2) vf-1j white and stealth with green armor 3) Stealth with regular armor Thank You Quote
Graham Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 Took the woodland camo GBP armor out of the box last night. Very happy with it. Haven't had time to take apart the chest yet to see if any improvements were made. The attention to detail continues to amaze me. I love the way that even the inside of the armour has panel lines. One change I noticed compared with my standard GPB, is that the backpack thrusters now have a distinct click, when moving the thruster nozzels between the two positions. Graham Quote
