Bandai DX GBP Armor Set and VF-1J Armored Valkyrie


jvmacross

Recommended Posts

Hmmm. Same thickness on the goggle. At this point I'm thinking it would be nice if they just include an extra head on the set because I rather just get the armor part set. But if they decide on making a bundle set, then atleast I have an extra VF-1J. I know it's going to be expensive if it's a set. Oh well.

I am hoping its a cover for the visor/goggle or replacement head.  If it turns out to be a full bundle, I’ll pick it up anyway, but my wallet is not going to too happy about it. :wacko:

This is literally the only reason I have a 1J...so I hope it's sold separately! If it's a bundle then it's gonna be close to $400 MSRP no? 

$400 maybe, but that's after market. VF-1J's MSRP was Y18000/19800(JPY tax). VF-1 Strike/Super Parts was Y8000/Y8800(JPY tax). Since GBP has more plastic and paint details than Strike/Super Parts but somehow less compared with VF-31S Armor at Y16000/Y17600(JPY tax), let's estimate the price for GBP, if it's just the parts, somewhere around Y14000-15000. If it's bundled, then we're just playing with a total of Y33000+/-. Which in today's US$ conversion, it's $303.

I hope they release 2 versions...one with a bundled vf-1j and a one that is a stand alone armor only package, because then the die hard collectors will have to buy 2x to be complete...and Bandai just doubled their sales! 
LOL  :)

This describes me and I’m okay with it.

Have you not heard of the Collector's Mantra?... ;)

Just this piece and I'm done with this line. :yahoo:

Good luck with that willpower! 

I'm in for another preorder night, it has been too long since the last Macross-focused "event".

-b.

Hahaha.. fortunately I'm not as hardcore as the rest of you guys. That and the lack of space. :lol:

Whether it is bundled with VF-1J or a standalone armor pack, we are all gonna buy it and Bandai knows this :D

I had really hoped the next announcement would be the YF-21 instead of more VF-1 stuff.. but if the recent BW-HG deal means a bit more time needed to work out a worldwide release of this YF-21, then all the better. :good:

  • jvmacross changed the title to Bandai DX GBP TV Armor - Coming Soon!

Probably, but i am pretty sure that, like what happened with Roy, there is going to be a short second wave of pre-order(with a slight mark up) and it shouldn't be too expensive to get after the release. I feel the market (for SOC, DX, etc.) is somewhat in a down phase.

Well that and Ebay will flood with them at semi-decent prices.  You can still pick up a Roy for around the $319 mark on there.  I think the original TV VF-1J release is over $440.
