What is the difference between the yamato 1/60 vf 1j GBP ver 2 and this Arcadia release? Thanks for the help! I need it to decide if I will want to get this Arcadia version Not a lot actually.. They are pretty much identical. They both have the grey visor, the Arcadia version doesn't come with the "1" tampo printed on the chest armor section as the original Yamato did. I think that's about it really.. Im looking at them both as I write this.. Oh and some have reported that the Arcadia has a sight pinkish tan to the white areas. But I don't really notice that with mine so that might be a manufacturing issue perhaps? Maybe someone else knows or has noticed something else but im stumped.

What is the difference between the yamato 1/60 vf 1j GBP ver 2 and this Arcadia release? Thanks for the help! I need it to decide if I will want to get this Arcadia version ^ Depends which release of the Yamato you got. Did you get the one with the '1' tampoed on the chest missile cover and crack-prone shoulders or the later release with fixed shoulders and no '1' tampo on the chest (and some other minor markings as well)? The Arcadia armor matches the later Yamato release. The Arcadia 1J has a tendency to look pinkish under certain lighting conditions, but your experience may vary.

spanner Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 well there you go eh.. I wasn't aware that there was two Yamato releases.. told you someone would know something else! So sadly that makes my Yamato the original with the "1" tampoed and the crappy shoulders.. well I know they are crappy shoulders as its previous owner has done a rebuild repair job on them. Not a bad job too I might add! Thanks SM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMDG2008 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Thanks a lot guys! btw off topic, anyone here has a spare Toynami Robotech MP Cyclone Scott Bernard or the Beagle Version? Looking for one btw, mine is similar to this: is this ver 1 or 2? just want to be sure https://eyeforthings.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/vf1ja_box_front_view.jpg and does the Arcadia version come with the display stand already?

No stand for the Arcadia. Both versions of the Yamato came in the same box, unfortunately. You have to check the armor tampo to see what version is inside.

no3Ljm Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 You can also check jenius reviews on Yamato GBP releases at: http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=5007 But to be honest, price-point-wise, I will just get the recent release Arcadia one. You will get the safe shoulder version. Tight joints compared to the old Yamato ones. If you're not worried about the slight pink hue on the Arcadia, you will be just fine. As for the Mospeada Cyclones Bikes, you can check Adankree's FS thread. He's selling both Scott and Rand/Ley): http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=42677 Good luck!

sixtybucks Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Ok, gentlemen, I give you the "Grenade" Super Fighter. The mechanics could only salvage so many parts from Hikaru's first sortie with the GBP... so they fitted his (refurbished or new?) J with these until the Super parts were ready! Also known in other circles as the "Ghetto" Super Fighter Thanks to my lovely wife for providing the "hand stand"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
