Arcadia VF-1J Full Armor - January 2015

[bbrain]

Don't forget...at least Arcadia will provide you with a pic of what the GBP-1J should look like on the box!....

Arcadia: Troll level 9000

If i pre-order from HLJ now and sent to private warehouse, then ordered the bandai 1/100 GBP, what do you think the chances are i can get get them shipped at the same time?

(i won't be in a hurry for this GBP since i already have one coming to me)

^ I dont think it is possible. Warehouse can only store up to 60 days and this will be released end of May while the hi-metal, if I am not mistaken is a September release

I speak no Japanese but if google translate doesnt fail me, Mr K is saying this will have the gray goggles? I asked if it included the gray goggles. At first he said no that gray had been done before. Minutes later he responded with this. If it is indeed gray, saved me some money because i almost bought the old bundle today

Cool! No need to use paint or marker.

Thanks for the info, Anubis! Thinking of getting another one!

order stop

well damn, there goes my summer side business to fund end of summer vacation by offering to paint people's Arcadia white head goggles grey...

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

if this is grey goggle i will choose this over hi metal... actually i already have it... not sure i'll wait till release day to hopefully find one...

now the white visor will be OOP and hard to find

[jenius]

This is Macross collecting. It's not a question of which one to get... but which one to get FIRST... because eventually you'll have both

[troyness]

I guess Arcadia have been checking out the HI Metal R...

Now for a release date & shipping notices!!!

[Old Man]

I was secretly hoping they'd give us the grey goggle version. I consider it standard GBP-1S loadout, and prefer the look of it over the white version.

Of course, with Arcadia's track record, something's bound to be wonky with one of the colors

[nedragdnuos]

As far as we know is the product release date still end of May start of June?

[anubis20]

Amazon Japan says the 25th, they are usually pretty good with release dates

i fear that's true... damn... so tempting, since the hi metal gbp has been up on AE for a bit...

[Gakken85]

I have one and only need one. Grey visor Yammie

The hi-metal looks fun to handle... maybe, but the fighter/bat mode looks goofy. I'd maybe consider it to fiddle with on my desk, but 100 bucks is too expensive for that.

[chyll2]

Finally, I finally found someone locally that is willling let go of the GBP and only get the VF-1. Now, the next problem is, will NY sell it at 19,950 yen at release date?

I have the grey goggle ver. and have cancelled one of the two re-issues I had planned on buying.. I'll still get one so I can display Hikaru in fighter and fit the GBP parts to another Valk.

Early on i had considered getting the 1/100 just to mess about with or pass onto my son but he's not interested. I dont think they are particularly that high priced but they do look kinda odd in certain modes..

[troyness]

I'm so excited for my 1st 1/60 1J!!!

I guess in about a week, we'll get PO payment notices /shipping .

[DyNo]

I got my PO payment notice last week for it!!

[chyll2]

so NY is already sending out payment notice? I want to get one but hopefully, it is still 19950 yen

thanks loop

[spanner]

With or without a grey visor or im not fussed either way.. I just want it! Not long now too!

Besides I plan of having the Valk displayed clean in fighter mode anyways and will be fitting the GBP parts to a brownie!

[barurutor]

I wonder if they'll screw up the armor part colors instead... then you'd have to get the old Yamato armor parts as well

I'm kinda hoping it'll be a different blue than on the Yamato

[Viiof]

Was kinda hoping this was going out today. Ah well.
