physioguy Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 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. h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

do not disturb Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 haha, i've been using my brain to photoshopping my blue one, just so i don't have to buy this one. 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.

winterdyne Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scream Man Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmareB4macross Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I wasnt sure if it was the flash, or if it was a brighter green... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 And istead of chest missiles... Woofers. 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 .

Mowe Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 What is the story with Yamato's obsession of using green? 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?

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. h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 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. 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.

Veritas Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warmaker Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) 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.

Golden Arms Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) 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!

vlenhoff Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
