jvmacross Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share 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!

SUPERULTRAROBORIDER Posted April 14, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnout6 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Is that really a grey goggle vf-1j !? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted April 14, 2021 Share 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.

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.

leeboo1211 Posted April 14, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Shawn Posted April 14, 2021 Share 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!

eggy99 Posted April 14, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketblast Posted April 15, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKT Posted April 15, 2021 Share 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.

pablumatic Posted April 15, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryoma Posted April 15, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the original TV VF-1J release is over $440. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
