I'm in Tokyo, and the new armor set is out!

I'll be back in Canada in 2 days, so I've already bought myself one, along with some other macross goodies. If they weren't so big I'd buy a whole bunch more.

haha, i've been using my brain to photoshopping my blue one, just so i don't have to buy this one. :p

while it looks cool, i still prefer the original blue version. if they made matching valks for this, i'd be more inclined to buy it.

A GBP that comes with a grill, large necklace, and decals that look like urban tattoos... now we're talking!

Don't forget about the hi-tops, and a crooked baseball cap. :lol:

... And the Dub Dueces with spinners for the landing gears wheels of the Valk that will be wearing the Blinged out GBP. And istead of chest missiles... Woofers. :p

u know....that doesnt look half bad. The green looks better in those pics than in others we've seen.

i think Ill still get the wooodland one, but overall I like it :)

Looks good to me. ^_^

For some reason the green on the production version seems a bit more pronounced than the prototype.

But just because of that, it won't detour me from being at least one. ;)

Wait a minute, then it'd be a Mac7 Sound Force GBP! I like the idea though but here's another take, how about the shoulder compartments open up and then you could slide a boom box out! Eh, maybe that's too 80s :).

What is the story with Yamato's obsession of using green? :blink:

Remember the early proto-type of the Woodland Armor? It had that hideous green on the shoulder pack, fortunately, it was taken out with the final version.

They are now trying to sneak the green in again. Why does an urban low vis scheme need green when city has little trees?? Does Yamato has an excess of green ABS that they have to use it up? :unsure:

Ugh, I won't be buying that. I really don't like the green on it. 3 shades of grey would have looked a lot better IMO.

yeah, i don't dig the green either. I'm going to paint the green parts a green grey or another shade of grey.

Honestly though, they took the only bright color out of that GBP and now it's an absolutely boring color scheme that sells like a brick. What they should have done all along was use a camo scheme that mirrored the LV2 which could have included plenty of green... heck, they could have gone with an all sorts of green camo and it would have been better than the boring brown. I really like the splash of yellow on this version because it helps to avoid that but I agree with everyone else here, the green isn't doing much. Will I still buy it? Heck yeah.

Dang, I thought the green was going to be more subdued. :( I know i'm still going to end up picking it up, but that doesn't mean i have to be happy about it... or as happy heh. BTW does anyone else think this GBP scheme would look good with Roy's Valk? I don't see any reason to slap it on Hikaru's VF-1J again.

hey veritas you are so right, this gpb and the roy valk are the perfect macth in fact im already have my order in hobby link japan for those two......the yellow in the valk goes perfect with the yellow on the ches of theis gbp :rolleyes:

Not too impressed with the choice of colors here.

If they wanted "Low Visibility," why glaringly bright, attention grabbing Yellow pieces? The Green is also out of place with the Greys. Waaaayyy out of place.

If it was all grey or series of greys, then it'd be great. Otherwise, the standard Blue-Red-White GBP is still superior for me.

funny, HLJ seems it has it under restocking for March

They did the same thing with the YF-19, but had it in stock for their initial preorders. Also, HLJ closes for the weekends.

I too was thinking on painting the green areas with a darker shade of grey when I saw the WF pics. I'm not much of a model maker, but I just can't get over that green. The rest of the GBP looks awsome.

I hope we'll see a new Valk with a similar scheme to go along with it down the road (Enigma perhaps?). If not, I agree: the Roy will be the best looking of all Valks with it. :)

Hey Takatoys: When you make your custom stickers for the GBP please consider some "leg art" for it. Like a Minmay in a swimsuit and optional stuff. We could even brainstorm some ideas here! :ph34r:

I really though it was only shades of grey other than the yellow. They should've just made a black and grey version for the 1J stealth. That would've been sick. You heard that Yamatonians... Sick! ;)
