Shawn Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 What is the missile count of the GBP vs the Legioss (we can include the Imai arm missile box too) Who would win in a stand off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can swing over to your place in roughly 20 mins and take it from you. 😛 Hahahahaha! These old chunkies are more popular than I thought, will try to post pics of the thing beside my GBP 1J later if I can sneak away from work for a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macross above all else, even if it is totally unreasonable. Those two are to scale right? GBP for sure 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish there was an easy way to make these fit onto my old Yammies. I thought you meant Bandai surprisingly included the GBP DYRL-fists, but alas, I think those are just the same extra hands that came with the original standalone 1J release: from Anymoon: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Dug my chunky out. The box isn't in the best shape, but the toy itself basically stays in the box in a dark room. Such a breeze to transform the old chunkies, lol! The other 1J Hikaru in my collection (Hasegawa 1/72 1J). Building models has really pulled me away from toy collecting the last few years.

Nice to see them both side-by-side.... https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/closedsearch/closedsearch?va=マクロス+1%2F55+VF-1J&b=1&n=100&auccat=&tab_ex=commerce&ei=utf-8&aq=-1&oq=&sc_i=&exflg=&p=バンダイ+超時空要塞マクロス+1%2F55+VF-1J+バルキリー&x=0&y=0 If someone wanted to buy that 1/55 re-issue VF-1J straight from Japan, they would be looking at between 100-150 USD (based on condition) shipped to the US....so it's definitely "worth" something... Only the "Origin of Valkyrie" version is more valuable...in terms of the 1/55 re-issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that 1/55 is ugly in comparison. You should give it away! Just kidding! You NEED to keep that for your collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be picking up mine from the post office. I can't tell with all certain for now but the pieces seem not to be mirrored except for the place of the peg. It may be an easy fix if you can't get a replacement. Check the side conectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of the previous debacle with the HMR VF-1A Hikaru..... I wonder if this is just an issue with the Combo pack......which unfortunately is the more expensive release of the GBP...smh Maybe it would be best to leave it MISB.....

Toonz Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 well, what a lousy day to receive something so awesome that turned out to be a let down. I have sent a ticket to okiniland and if a replacement is not possible, I will have to operate on it. very tempted to order another one and if the same thing happens again, that will be case no.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you ended up operating on it, you probably just need to cut the part that is sticking out,,.. The part is sandwiched together with the other pieces so it should still hold together without it.

The leg armors are SOLID. I don't think you will even notice. That way you can at least dress it up and put it on display while thing are getting handled.

Assuming most here don't speak Japanese (like me), has anyone on here attempted to get an issue like Toonz's taken cared of by a manufacturer? The pessimist in me would like to know, in case any of my secondary market purchases turn up with a brick inside the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonz Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Alright guys, here'a an update. I removed that little peg with my trusty little saw and it all went well. All four pieces of the leg armor snapped together nice and tight as if there wasn't any flaws. So, to those who have yet to receive their set and IF (just IF, ok) you happen to have two left or even right back leg armor, don't worry, cut that crap off, assemble and TADA!

If it doesn't go out by the 9th there, don't expect it before the 15th as they will be moving to a larger warehouse during that period.
