Aegis! Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 yeah , whine whine - bitch bitch , that's pretty common here nowadays. <_< The fact is , We're getting a fricking GBP for God sake !!! I don't care how bad the sculpture could be (and from what I see it looks awesome), I just want a GBP armour for my 1J , after that I'm all up for the M0 toys and the YF-19FP B) I wonder how much detail this GBP will have , after seeing the level of detail they achieved with the 1/60 FPs I would imagine they can at least put removable missiles and a nice sticker sheet. ; I'm not holding my hopes high though. I hope the GBP goes for £40 or something , the bundle would probably go for something like £120 Quote
min Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 went to the show today. here's a picture of the back of the armor. Quote
min Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 not sure if this has been shown before but here is the back of the flight suit and helmet Quote
Batou Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 yeah , whine whine - bitch bitch , that's pretty common here nowadays. The fact is , We're getting a fricking GBP for God sake !!! Amen. This is the best news I've heard in months. I don't care how bad the sculpture could be (and from what I see it looks awesome), I just want a GBP armour for my 1J , after that I'm all up for the M0 toys and the YF-19FP B) I wonder how much detail this GBP will have , after seeing the level of detail they achieved with the 1/60 FPs I would imagine they can at least put removable missiles and a nice sticker sheet. ; I'm not holding my hopes high though. Judging from this pic: Link it looks like the missles are all molded into one piece. If they're removable, they won't be seperate pieces like the 1/48 FP micromissles. If/when they do the (inevitable) 1/48 version, you can bet the missles will be individual seperate parts. Quote
Omni Existence Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 its funny to see a simple picture became bitchfest 2003.i don't know why people are having a cow about how much, how comes, why nots and what ifs? wait, see and then complain......not whine, whine and whine about something that doesn't really exist yet. too expensive? don't buy it too tall? don't buy it too short? don't buy it too small? don't buy it too big? don't buy it too thin? don't buy it too fat? don't buy it i think its really simple...if you have a problem with it...DON'T BUY IT!!! no one is forcing you to buy it...bundled, not bundled, whatever! bitchin about something you're NOT gonna get, is completely pointless....go complain in a different thread. i for one plan to get this...whether its perfect or not. wanna know why? cause it sure beats the one i DON'T HAVE. sorry guys, but it seems every thread that gets started in the toy section turns into....well, this. Very simple indeed, unfortunately there are SOME people who just can't comprehend such simplicity. <_< Quote
Lynx7725 Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 Eh? The GBP boosters aren't using the FAST connecting points? Quote
Omni Existence Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 Noticed that too.... Though it looks like it may be using a clip that goes between the backpack and the back plate. maybe.... Quote
Gyges Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 Eh? The GBP boosters aren't using the FAST connecting points? Excellent point. Things are becoming mysteriouser and mysteriouser. And I agree with TenScaryonkeys; I never understood all the hoopla over an absent GBP-1S until now. I might actually plunk down the cash for this one, expecially if they offer it separately from the -1J. Quote
rsvictor1976 Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 (edited) I never knew the GBP armor boosters were different from the FAST Pack version. Oh I see, so instead of the cone shaped rockets it's got the square shaped ones. Also it looks longer than the FAST Pack boosters. Is there any other difference between the FAST Pack boosters and the GBP boosters? Edited October 11, 2003 by rsvictor1976 Quote
Rune Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 Wonder how much the GBP-1S is going to cost? Looking forward to getting a few sets of these granted the price is right. *please* Quote

Guppy Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 cool! I am VERY late to this party but I am so happy!!! I've never owned a GBP set as I can't justify spending that much money, but now I'll have my moment in the sun. the chunky monkey fists look like somthing off an Imai toy. Quote

GobotFool Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 (edited) one sec, so let me get this clear. the heat sheild on the 1/48 1J is going to be a clear peice painted white? (no pun intended) Edited October 11, 2003 by GobotFool Quote

I have to agree with you. I am just happy to see the damn thing. That means the 1/48 is not very far? So I hope. Quote

I might actually plunk down the cash for this one, expecially if they offer it separately from the -1J. Perhaps Yamato wants to make it so that you can attach the armor to any VF. So far it looks like the armor isn't using any of the normal fast pack attachment methods. Quote
Chowser Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 I for one am going to get it in 1/60 and hopefully 1/48. I'm tempted to buy one of Rob's recast for the 1/55 but I can't paint, so.... Quote
Aegis! Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 It seems people are just happy about the 1/60 GBP because they think a 1/48 version is inevitable , but how could it be inevitable if no one buys the 1/60 version first ? Quote

I don't think there will be a problem. I'm sure there are plenty of people who plan to buy both, myself included. I want the 1/60th version to fill out my 1/60th collection and I want the 1/48th version (which I'm sure we'll see) for the added detail and other bells and whistles. Quote
Kamui 777 Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 Man, I'm even later to this party. GIVE ME!!! GIVE ME!! GIVE ME!!! I can't wait for this thing. Quote
Hurin Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 one sec, so let me get this clear. the heat sheild on the 1/48 1J is going to be a clear peice painted white?

Graham Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 I'm loving what I've seen of the Yamato 1/60 GBP so far. IMO it looks 100 times better than the old 1/55 version. It's great that Yamato have made it with all the missile hatches opening, even the small ones on the rear of the legs. And yes, I love the big fists too. One thing I can't understand though is the need for the larger shoulders. The shoulder missile launchers could have easily been made to fit on the standard 1/60 shoulders. Graham Quote
CoryHolmes Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 I see a hinge on the GBP that I don't see on the 1/60s. It's right below the hip armour, on the thigh facing towards the user. Any ideas what that could be for? Quote
EXO Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 I what you're talking about IS on the 1/60s Quote

Lightning Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 hey people, quit complaining about the shoulders. the reason? the bottom of the GBP shoulder armor is just molded in the same color as the VF-1J! there have been no shoulder mods at all, it's just part of the armor! Quote

So your saying the shoulder is on the shoulder? makes sense to me! Quote

I know thats the case. I just wonder why they felt the need to do this. Why couldn't the missle pods just attatch to the shoulders all regular like? Why the need for psuedo shoulders to slip over the current ones? Quote
