jvmacross Posted September 22, 2021 Author Posted September 22, 2021 Curious to see what this GBP Combo sells for....currently at MSRP https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r1007242700 The stand-alone armor sets are averaging about 13,500 JPY on YJA... This used original release VF-1J just sold for 31,222 JPY (under 300 USD)... https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/x1006646637 The original release VF-1J may turn out to be the biggest (market value) loser now that the GBP combo set has been released....time will tell....it had a nice run though Quote
derex3592 Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 Paid about $43 "Fast Shipping" (Slow Shipping was exactly the same price) from Anime Export for my Armor Parts. They shipped via DHL this morning and I got the text from DHL shortly after with the waive signature option and leave package on porch option which I LOVE. Let's see how long until it's on my doorstep! Quote

There's many like that over at the port in Oakland too,. .. , my last shipment landed on an east coast port. The VF-1D, I just can not wait but most of my other orders are now by Boat unless the price is close enough to each other. It does take much longer but then I've also been very busy lately so I guess it worked out. .. and save some extra for future .....................valk purchases Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 Got a pair of the add-ons in-hand, taking pictures now. Anyone have any questions on it? Quote
rsvictor1976 Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 I got mine today. I'm not sure if I like the super big hands or not. The super big hands don't twist and you have to place them in 90 degree angles. Anyways, here are some pictures: Quote

No question, I was more curious about the comparative proportions. Interesting that Bandai seems to have made the legs thinner, and the arms beefier. Other proportions seem similar. I don't have the standard Yamato GBP, but I do have the Urban Cammo GBP with Low Vis Valk, and the Forest Cammo GBP with Forest Cammo Valk. I'm planning on displaying them together. Quote
rsvictor1976 Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 Here are more photos for comparison. The chest doesn't stick out as much and the backpack boosters isn't as spread out. Quote

rsvictor1976 Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Even though his movement limited now, You still have some movement in the legs and arms, and a little twist in the torso. Edited September 22, 2021 by rsvictor1976 Quote
tjdetweiler Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 wow! Jealous! very nice guys!! Enjoy!! yeah Luna has only a label not sure what is happening there. But no worries - I got Pose+ GGG coming soon Quote
sqidd Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 You can really see the 15yrs-ish between the two designs. I have to say, the Yamato holds up pretty good. I have to give the nod to the Bandai as far as aesthetics go. Not by a huge margin though. There are actually a few things I like about the Yammie a little better. I do like the Bandai's smaller legs. More practical and not as "add on" looking. I like the big goofy hands. @rsvictor1976 if you have the time can you get a total height measurement. "Booties" to booster tips? I'm wondering how much room I have to make it fly on a YetiStand. Thanks! Quote
rocketblast Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) My package from bij shipped out yesterday by sea. I don’t have a vf-1j though. Edited September 22, 2021 by rocketblast Spell correct on phone Quote

They probably have someone printing labels off and other people boxing. The latter takes far longer than the former. It happens to my customers too. It's not 3-4 days between when the label prints and the item ships though. Quote

Thanks! With the shoulder missiles closed, he's a little under 12 and 1/4 inches. With them fully open, you're looking at 13 inches. The big goofy hands are bigger than his head... they remind me of those giant Mickey Mouse hands you buy at Disneyland. Edited September 22, 2021 by rsvictor1976 Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 So, has anyone figured out what to do with the gunpod while it's in the armor? Quote
