As a stand alone set 17-18k yen and not more than 23k yen, based on what's released before. Bundle pricing no less than 35k yen. My speculation reply from Page 1: On 4/14/2021 at 2:49 PM, no3Ljm said: 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.

borgified Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 $303 USD for the complete set might equal to close to $400 CND (and that barely covers half my rent for a month for me)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I think it's going to be GBP 15K¥ and separate Gray Goggle VF-1J 18¥. Maybe that's just what I'm hoping as the idea of including a head with the GBP is a turn-off.... although maybe that explains why Max was shown with a separate GBP... they would include paired heads with each custom like they did with the wings on the 171 and its super parts.

Anasazi37 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 The normal pattern is that there is at least a week between a formal item announcement and the PO, During that waiting period, it shows up in the Macross section of the Tamashii Nations site as a full entry, not just as a teaser picture: https://tamashii.jp/item_character/macross_series/ The one major exception has been the TV Super Parts, where we only got about a day to prepare. I really hope Bandai doesn't do that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoVanguard Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Since this is the first product out since Harmony Gold allowed sales of Macross related stuff outside of Japan, does this mean we can buy it directly off Tamashii website, if we are not in japan? #falsehope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not this one as of now @mantisfists. I think @jvmacross mentioned that the ink was applied in March and some further legal addendums needed to be sorted out for both parties to agree on.

twich Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) I cannot read, but does it say anything about a rerelease of the VF-1J? it looks great, but if no rerelease, it would suck for those of us without one already, or $400+ to track one down.

sh9000 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Awesome. Closed fist TV hands for an armorless VF-1. I’ll happily do the SDFM opening pose over again and other poses that needed the correct style hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo2030 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Hi! From what can be seen in the images, it appears that the armor alone will be released on 4/23 and a set of the Vf-1 with the armor on 4/28, based on the images. This is the twitter where I saw them. https://twitter.com/macrossD/status/1385005427528802304 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 The good news for people that don't have a VF-1J is that it doesn't REALLY matter now. You could use a more accessible VF-1S Hikaru, and the only difference would be the wing stripe color if seen from the back. So get any DX, swap the head and you've got a GPB VF-1J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I guess they need permission from HG for any TV/DYRL video releases Or maybe they just forgot to turn off the geo-fencing...but suspect that is not the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Good luck folks, I'm glad I'm not all that interested in the armor. I might grab one if I see an open order, but I'm not going to stress over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
