no3Ljm Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 For those of you who have one of these: I just got mine today and in the top most tray (the one with the Valk, not the one with the GBP Armor) there is a tiny space right above the VF-1J's right shoulder. It feels like there should be something in that space. Was there supposed to be something there or am I being paranoid? I didn't see a pilot figure, though I haven't changed out the heat shield. Thanks. Can you be more specific regarding the right shoulder area? In the Valk tray, the VF-1J is transformed into fighter mode. So based on what you said, the right shoulder area has that micro missiles and regular missles on the tray. The only small space I could see is the one that locks on the plastic cover tray for it. Now if you're looking on the Valk tray from the top, then the right shoulder you mentioned would fall on the same missiles as well but has the pilot in it and a small space again that locks the plastic cover tray. I'm attaching here image from Anymoon's site so that you can check the VF-1J tray that came with the GBP set. This is the same contents whether it's Yamato or Arcadia releases. And also when you said you haven't changed out the heat shield, this one doesn't need to change literally. You just need to separate the chest area so that you can slide back the heat shield. Did you get yours with the heat shield slide down? Quote

Â I don't know if it was not enough coffee or too much coffee or my general illiteracy, but I posted in Arcadia VF-1J GBP (which I also got and its awesome) instead of Hi Metal R VF-1J GBP. Mybad and thank you anyways. Quote

Gundam@EFSF Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Hi friends, Can you advice if it is the shoulder fixed version or not? thanks. https://hk.f1.page.auctions.yahoo.com/hk/auction/b31897511?r=1237697687 Quote
Old Man Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Hi friends, Can you advice if it is the shoulder fixed version or not? thanks. https://hk.f1.page.auctions.yahoo.com/hk/auction/b31897511?r=1237697687 This one has the crack-prone shoulders. I'd avoid it unless you have replacement shoulders from Yamato or Shapeways Quote

spanner Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Might be worth it for the fast packs... +1 for this! I have a the odd broken shoulder VF-1 and they are fine as long as you are super gentle with them or don't touch em! But yeah for that price you'd buy it just for the parts! And then keep the VF-1 on display in fighter! Quote

Ignacio Ocamica Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 I still haven't replaced Roy's Strike VF-1S cracked shoulders. I have replacements that Graham sent me but the cracked shoulders are holding just fine. As others said I'd go for it. Quote
Universe1010 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I'm still wondering if I should get him? Any suggestions/opinions? Quote
treatment Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I'm still wondering if I should get him? Any suggestions/opinions? If you can afford it, then sure. Go get him. It's big and solid and stuff. If you can't afford it or you have issues with the current expensive Arcadiascalper-pricing on it like most of us, then don't get it. Just get the smaller HM-R version. Quote

Just saw the review on youtube from rocketpunch army the only thing I'm disliking is the parts forming on the chest to coverup the gap . Quote
treatment Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Just saw the review on youtube from rocketpunch army the only thing I'm disliking is the parts forming on the chest to coverup the gap . The whole GBP armor are parts, therefore it is a partsformer by definition. To put it another way, the GBP armor are all optional parts like the missiles, pilot and extra clown-hands that are usually included with the regular yammie/arcadia 1/60 VF-1J. Bandai does not include that particular part in their HM-R version for some odd reason. . Edited October 21, 2015 by treatment Quote
Universe1010 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 ^thanks . I got the last from NY for 24,780 yen considering its a premium is not a bad price. Quote
treatment Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Congrats! Yeah, the pricing is steep but I reckon it's quite worthy. Just ask sixtybucks and the others who recently got it. Quote
Universe1010 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 thanks again. Does it come with a stand? Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 thanks again. Does it come with a stand? The Arcadia GBP set? No. Quote
Universe1010 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 ^Wow. A lot of these figures are already so excessively expensive. The least they could do is throw a free stand lol Quote

Sandman Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 If they put in a stand, they would charge more. Quote
Universe1010 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Yeah I know they would have to charge more , but it would be nice if they included it is what I was saying as a bonus. Also does Arcadia have any plans of releasing a reissue of the VF-1S roy fokker ? Quote

Universe1010 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Yeah. Free display stand is what everyone's wish since day one. Hah you know it . I was wondering since my VF-19 Advance came with one and this one didn't. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 "Free"? Everything, including display stands are built into the price. The only way any accessory with a Bandai, Yamato or Arcadia release could be considered free is if it was packed separately as a part of a limited or special release - with the MSRP remaining the same between that and a release that didn't include said accessory. -b.

Reaction Warhead Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Hah you know it . I was wondering since my VF-19 Advance came with one and this one didn't. Pretty much all of Bandai's recent releases include a simple display stance. It's not much to write home about, but it's something. While Arcadia's products are of high quality, they tend to cut corners on everything else to cut cost. ie. limited amount of tempos and no display stance. Quote

Lolicon Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Arcadia GBP set comes with a built-in display stand. They're called "legs" I believe. Quote
