drifand Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Just sound out what you hope will be released at the end of the year... For me, if I can't have the GBP with it, I'll want it plain vanilla Quote
Rune Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 My vote is with the GBP armor attatched.I would gladly pay for it. Quote
Bub Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 C. With GBP-1S armor - Ultimate combination! Worth every penny. Same as drifand's. No GBP, no nothing. It's either nakeed or with the armor. LIKE in the TV Series. But if Yamato releases it bundled with the fast pack, the price of the toy should be lesser than getting a 1/48 valk and a separate fast pack. B) Quote
bsu legato Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I say "on it's own." I like the GBP armor as much as the next guy, but I figure the armor will cost 1 1/2 times that of the FAST packs. I may blow large wads of cash on toys, but the price of that combo would be a little too much to swallow all at one time. Gimme a plain jane VF-1J and I'll put the GBP on layaway. Quote
bandit29 Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 On its own. Bundled with any type of armor would cost too much. Quote
CF18 Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I would rather have the GBP, but it looks like the TV fast pack is confirmed. Quote
drifand Posted August 25, 2003 Author Posted August 25, 2003 Bummer, man. I thought Graham had said that Yamato was only showing off the 1J proto with FPs but that they haven't decided to include them? Looks like we're gonna have to take the choice we didn't want to take afterall... in November. Funny thing is, I wouldn't feel so bad if the FPs came with Hikaru's TV 1S - that woulda been sweet. Quote
GobotFool Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I don't want fast packs with it. I just want it to be the fighter. Quote
mechatek Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 If it comes with FPs you can always wait for a CF and attach them to it. I voted for a lone valk. I think Yamato is releasing the 1/48 by themselves, note the forthcoming Hikaru 1S no FPs. Quote
Smut Peddler Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I'll take it anyway I can get it, but would prefer it to come with the GBP, because I have been wanting some new GBP armor for a long time. Quote
Graham Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 DO NOT PANIC! The sky is not falling down. I can say no more just yet, but there will be a win-win situation for everybody come November. Graham Quote
Knight26 Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Question, what is the difference between the series and movie FAST Packs? Quote
Graham Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Question, what is the difference between the series and movie FAST Packs? Basically just the color and there is no Double Beam Cannon in the TV series. Graham Quote
drifand Posted August 25, 2003 Author Posted August 25, 2003 (edited) Question, what is the difference between the series and movie FAST Packs? About $30? Seriously, the most obvious difference is in the arm attachments. The TV-style ones would have a single-slope front end (like the Bandai's), whereas the DYRL version has a 3-sided tip. And from Graham's words, it sounds like there's still a chance for plain vanilla! Edited August 25, 2003 by drifand Quote
EXO Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 (edited) Screen Ratio!!! actually it's the elbow roundness. The missiles on the arms. Couple of panel lines difference and the macross symbol on the side instead of the skull. Maybe the color will be different also. EDIT: Doh! Drifand's a quickdraw...

Just Gundam Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I can say no more just yet, but there will be a win-win situation for everybody come November. To which I'll interpret as: We'll get GBP-1S armour, but not bundled with VF-1J. Quote
bsu legato Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 (edited) I can say no more just yet, but there will be a win-win situation for everybody come November. Gee...I wonder what that could mean. Edited August 25, 2003 by bsu legato Quote
EXO Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Gee...I wonder what that could mean. It means... he knows something we dont... Quote
bsu legato Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 (edited) Actually, I should retract my :yoshi: smilie. Drifands poll has three (3) choices, whereas Graham said it'll be a "win win" situation. To me, that says two of the three scenarios will come true, leaving the third out in the cold. So any bets as to what we'll see? 1) FAST packs and GBP 2) plain jane and FAST packs 3) plain jane and GBP or worst case scenario 4) Toynami steals Macross license from Yamato and shoves MPC crappiness down our throats. Edited August 25, 2003 by bsu legato Quote
Etrigan Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 (edited) I'm going with option 2. The GBP hasn't been mentioned in any scale, let alone 1/48. An October release of the armor would be improbable. Edited August 25, 2003 by Etrigan Quote
pfunk Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Gee...I wonder what that could mean.  It means... he knows something we dont... Thats gotta suck, knowing whats going to happen and not being able to tell anyone,,,,,,,,,, kinda military Quote

But it would be nice to see a Hikaru 1S with that lovely armour , and that valk is definitively going into my collection (that or the Low-viz and GBP ). November can´t come any sooner Quote
Hurin Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Will the standard FAST packs being released in a few days/weeks fit the VF-1J? I thought that possibly the VF-1J would come with its own FAST packs because its arms had been subtely re-molded (thus making the DYRL FAST packs not fit). Quote
EXO Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I don't see why it wouldn't fit. The arms clip on where the gunpods do which are the same as the DYRL valks. And to sell this seperatley wouldn't make much sense, IMO. Because the only other valk that it would go on would be Roy's. I doubt they would release Roy's Skull as a TV version, would they? All other TV fast packs would be custom like the M&M. Unless they release the CF as a TV version. It'll be interesting to see what they have planned for the VF-1J. Quote
Hoptimus Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 Nice. I cant wait for this one to come out. Quote
Skull 001 Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I would prefer to buy them seperate. I wouldn't mind as much the fast Packs but the full armor would be so expensive for one shot. It almost killed me when the Max Millia 1/60's came out together. Plus if given time to buy the full armor I wuld probably buy more than 1 set. I like to focus on the actuall valks so any of the armor pieces aren't as important to me. I would rather like to see more of the variations of the valks. Like CF 1J, TV Max 1A, Max and Millia 1J's. But we will just have to wait and see. Quote
JELEINEN Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I voted FAST packs, though GBP is a close runner up. I don't care if they're canon, those pictures just look too damn cool. And really, I can't see Yamato going through the trouble of making a TV set to display if they didn't plan on releasing them. Quote
Toonz Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 i voted GBP..... *we need more time to save more money though.....* Quote
Abombz!! Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 This isn't fair! Of course everyone will pick GPB armor! Quote
Toonz Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 This isn't fair! Of course everyone will pick GPB armor! because GBP is the main course Quote
mechatek Posted August 25, 2003 Posted August 25, 2003 I can say no more just yet, but there will be a win-win situation for everybody come November.Graham To me this just means we'll separate releases of the VF-1J and TV FPs in November. Remember Graham said all the surprises (GBP-1S) will come in Spring '04. I would probably get 2 or 3 sets of that GBP goodness, CF in GBP. :drool: Quote
