Unreal! And also the 1J for sure in there! Crap. This is going to be a lot of money out the door tomorrow and whenever they have other POs

WOW! you have excellent eyes too...that looks like grey googles?!

[sqidd]

Was the Roy GBP cannon? I don't remember seeing that?

 

[sqidd]

I'm all in on a GBP

[weiser21]

Tomorrow is just the reveal no? The PO would happen sometime in the future right?

Yuuuuup!!! That means a new 1J release mutha truckas!!!!

[seti88]

The box hidden by the mosaic seems to be new? Would that be a yellow gbp part box?

 

[weiser21]

I thought my wallet was going to get a breather after the Roy TV release.

[DYRL VF-1S]

I wonder which ones will actually go TWE and regular PO. Also, which ones are display only and which will go live for PO right away. I mean, we've seen DYRL Hikkie 1A, Max 1A on display but no POs yet

[derex3592]

I might be in for a 1D -- if it's a TWE item.

Where's @no3Ljm's wallet GIF??? @Slave IV I know you have it on auto-redial. Someone needs to post it. LOL

[sh9000]

Damn!

[sixtybucks]

So, to sum up, it looks like we are going to have 4 new releases right? A Grey Goggle 1J, GBP set (Red), GBP set (Yellow), and the 1D, right?

[easnoddy]

From the look of it the Roy GBP is black instead of the dark blue of the standard GBP.  Crap, I don't have a Roy 1S on order, but now will need 2-3...

Well...yes... but what we don't know is which of these are "Display Only" and which will go up for PO. On top of that, we don't know which will be regular releases and which will be TWE.

FRAK!!! I was hoping I was going to be done with the TV Roy 1S, but they just had to make the one valk other than a Low Vis or Stealth variant that I wouldn't be able to say "No" to...damn it.

If I had to guess, I'd say the Grey Goggle and Yellow GBP could be display only, the Red GBP is TWE and the 1D a regular release.

[jenius]

I'd guess it's one GBP and it comes with different chest doors like the super parts have different kites.

Could be but from the screenshot, the armor seems darker on Roy unless that's just the lighting.

I like this idea but I'm not so sure about it. You need the cuffs too and the swapping mechanism you have to include for all this could make things unnecessarily complicated. And it's a non canon style opposed to the colored kites that are canon and straight forward to swap.

[jenius]

Good point on the cuffs. When will this reveal happen? Running out of popcorn over here.

lol i wandered into this thread i haven't checked in a while (been busy with TFs this year or so) and yeah tahts exactly whats gonna happen

[nightmareB4macross]

Those two blue GBP colors on Max 1J and the Hikaru 1J appear different. Are we getting DYRL and SDFM specific releases?
 

The VF-1D just brought me back into this line. Hopefully it has the two seat egress gimmick and the removable and attaching escape cockpit.

I might be sitting out on this one but I might change my mind as at the last minute..  

[Slave IV]

Oh hell, I just noticed the picture and posts about Max's 1J...YES!

Would prefer his 1S but I will take it all! Just hope this stuff isn't TWE because I'd rather deal with preorder madness than pay that much up front right now...

Guess we'll find out soon if that DX 1D has removable cockpit-fuselage and if the DX Roy's arm will not sag and stuff when attached...
