jvmacross Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) COMING SOON!!! PO for the DX GBP TV Armor for the DX VF-1 is Coming Soon!! Stayed Tuned for more info on April 22 Edited April 15, 2021 by jvmacross Quote
jvmacross Posted April 14, 2021 Author Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) Based on the pic and 1982 BW copywrite...it currently looks like it will be a TV version..... Hoping it is a combo pack but maybe they are going the KitzConcept route.....either way PO madness may be upon us again! Edited April 15, 2021 by jvmacross Quote
SUPERULTRAROBORIDER Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Holy wizard! I'm really hoping this will be a bundle. I'm also hoping this could be the first macross dx that can be distributed in the USA! Quote
Saburo Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Fun times ahead! Haven't had a PO Madness night in a while. Quote

no3Ljm Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 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. Quote

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. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Same here, I'll get the bundle. The question is how many? hahaha Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Finally. I just hope you can open all the missile bays. Quote
leeboo1211 Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 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? Quote

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. Edited April 14, 2021 by no3Ljm Quote
Shawn Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 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 Quote

eggy99 Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 It's gonna be pricey! I'm questioning if I'll actually be able to afford it if it is a complete bundle. If it's offered as only the GBP, I'll probably skip since I don't have a 2nd VF-1J to put it on. Quote

davidwhangchoi Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 i'm waiting for p-bandai smoke effect exclusive. 10,000yen Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Well, I'm in for at least one. Oh, who are we kidding, at least 2. Quote

rocketblast Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 I'm hoping this comes with a bundled TV VF-1J. That would be pretty awesome. I can't wait to see preorders. Quote
MKT Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Whether it is bundled with VF-1J or a standalone armor pack, we are all gonna buy it and Bandai knows this 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.

seti88 Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Its too expensive......every single day i wake up thinking of a reason not to buy it... brain: You really are crazy.. macrossworld: I'm hungry...am gonna get something to eat... Edited April 15, 2021 by seti88 Quote
pablumatic Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 This pre-order is going to be as bad or worse than the DX Roy to grab at first, isn't it? Quote
Ryoma Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 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. Quote
Froy Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Do we know if it's going to be a regular release or a Tamashi exclusive? Quote
Gabe Q Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Armor only release -->Current price of existing VF-1J release goes up in resale market Bundle Armor/Valk release --> existing VF-1J release goes down in resale market Am I missing something here? Quote

I think the original TV VF-1J release is over $440. Quote
