Chronocidal Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) Alto used Michael's packs at one point in the series, so it's not technically wrong. Edited April 13, 2015 by Chronocidal
spanner Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Alto used Michael's packs at one point in the series, so it's not technically wrong. oh yeah that's right! I wasn't doubting it, I just totally forgot! geez I really need to watch the series again!
spanner Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 This guy arrived today Absolutely one of the best! Iconic piece. Love mine +1
Renato Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Yeah, "iconic" is definitely the key descriptor! It holds such a special place in my heart that I actually got another when they reissued it (with option parts). Usually I don't buy multiple pieces of the same thing.
abbadon Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 This guy arrived today Cool! One of my favorite VF-1!
dapro Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) This guy arrived today Congrats! One of my favorite valks! Might be the best looking valk in gerwalk mode of all valks. Edited April 14, 2015 by dapro
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) This guy arrived today very nice anubis! where are the option parts? Edited April 14, 2015 by davidwhangchoi
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Nice score dave! thanks, here's a shot of the box accompanied by the rare grey goggle stand alone issue. Edited April 14, 2015 by davidwhangchoi
spanner Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 thanks, here's a shot of the box accompanied by the rare grey goggle stand alone issue. wow! I have never actually seen the grey goggle stand alone issue VF-1J! I thought they only came with the GBP parts..?
dapro Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 David, you need to open that box up so we can see what it looks like inside the grey goggle 1j.
Garfinkel Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Congrats on your fine purchase! Same for me the VF-27 is my fav Frontier Valk too! Im gunning for Brera in that knife fight! Get lost Alto! =D Oh just noticed.. you have Michaels supers on Alto!? Still works I guess! I think i have worked out why i like the vf-27, it is the opposite of why many people dislike it, the smooth surfaces with few panel lines makes it look advanced compared to other valks. I want the Galia IV fold pack to complete the Alto leaving Galia look. All this merely because I was cheap and didn't want to shell out for Alto coloured super parts.

All this merely because I was cheap and didn't want to shell out for Alto coloured super parts. yes definitely looks a lot smoother, sleeker and more advanced than the others! Even more so than the newer YF-30! And one little detail I really like about the 27 is when you remove the engine intake covers there are no visible turbine fans! I never did bother with the Galia set and Alto's 25 is the only one I didn't buy the Supers for either. Couldn't justify the cost of the parts when there are significantly more than the Valk itself! Luca's parts and ghost set being the only exception as there was physically more included with them.
chyll2 Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 thanks, here's a shot of the box accompanied by the rare grey goggle stand alone issue. let's see, we have a rare Vf-1J fitted with the rare GBP. drooools!!
Old Man Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 thanks, here's a shot of the box accompanied by the rare grey goggle stand alone issue. Slap them babies together!
anubis20 Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 very nice anubis! where are the option parts? Didnt feel like putting them on since its gonna go back into Gerwalk, though i might take a pic of Hikaru in the seat in Battroid mode before i do
ChaoticYeti Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 This guy arrived today I do hope Arcadia re-releases the non-standard VF-1's. At this point I am not too interested in having a bunch of regular re-headed VF-1's, but I am interested in the elint/ostrich/D variants.
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) wow! I have never actually seen the grey goggle stand alone issue VF-1J! I thought they only came with the GBP parts..? but you got the combo so you don't need it:) (or do you? heh heh heh) Congrats on finding one, david! thanks! David, you need to open that box up so we can see what it looks like inside the grey goggle 1j. the grey goggle is stored in my closet away from my stack of valks on the floor. i'll prob use the armor though, let's see, we have a rare Vf-1J fitted with the rare GBP. drooools!! i just sold my grey goggle combo and used those funds to buy the missile effect parts since i had an extra grey goggle. i have a white visor one as well... too many hikaru's.. but still thinking about getting an arcadia set but not sure yet... Slap them babies together! i was going to to take a pic of the boxes both being slapped by my hand lol Edited April 14, 2015 by davidwhangchoi
no3Ljm Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Oooh. Great purchases guys! I want that missile effect, davidwhangchoi.
barurutor Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Does the grey goggle 1J have the original v2 crotch mechanism like the 1J Super combo & 1J GBP?
spanner Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Picked this baby up in Tokyo. 20150416_084941.jpg Lovely!
abbadon Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Picked this baby up in Tokyo. 20150416_084941.jpg Awesome!
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Does the grey goggle 1J have the original v2 crotch mechanism like the 1J Super combo & 1J GBP? the stand alone grey goggle release in the white box has the updated 1/48 style crotch and clear canopy. if was released in 2010 along side of the updated grey goggle gbp-1 armor set with the brand new grey goggle hikaru with updated crotch. (2010) the first release (2009) gbp-1 grey goggle combo had the one with the shoulders prone to crack and old style crotch mechanism.
barurutor Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Thanks david. I owned the 1st release GBP before and a Hikaru 1J with option parts, was thinking of switching the heads and use the newer 1J with the GBP armor & grey goggle. Sold both away though last year... just to preorder the Arcadia version again.
calubin_175 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Did I do good? I have three of them, so one for each of the VF-0s as I am only planning to get VF-0s from Arcadia.
spanner Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 but you got the combo so you don't need it:) (or do you? heh heh heh) I do but I don't but yeah oh wait..
