Eh, the previews were looking too much like 'The RING"! I think I'd just wait for the DVD and check out "SAW" instead .

Hey, COMMISSIONER, I've got a 1/60 1S and a GBP Armor I'm willing to part with. They both have decals applied on, though. PM me if yer interested.

heres another picture.

who makes that valk? i assume its a model? who makes that GBP armor? that sh!t looks awesome!

Hey, H, the first time I saw that pic was in a post by BLACKACES in the model kits forum for another GBP Armor thread. I don't believe he mentioned the name of the modeler, but you can check here: 1/72 GBP

Hey, KEVIN, I know this may come a little late, but thanks for offering that really great price! YOU are da man !

Also, macross.anime.net refers to the GBP as "ground-combat protector weapon system".

Hey, 1st Border Red Devil, this is all you need to know !

I can't believe I've missed this thread before , oh well, better late than never! Here's my oh so humble collection:

1/72 = 0

1/60 = 6

1/48 = 3 (including the 3rd production run VF-1S ROY, I hope !)

SLED, you lucky DOGG!

SWEEEEEEETTTT! Nice work there, ALAN! Keep it up!

I think the one on the site is not the TRU exclusive one

J.K.,

Oh, man, you're right! I can't believe I missed the TRU part, serves me right for posting at 3 in the morning when I'm half awake ! Good looking out, man!

ETERNAL D,

Sorry, dude, but in that case ya might wanna shoot PAT S a PM. He had 2 of those for sale, but keep in mind that that was about a few weeks ago. Hey, it wouldn't hurt to ask, right? He's in the straight-shooter's list so it'd be worth it. I picked up a 1/60 HIKARU 1A from him and I'm happy w/ it.

Joel

Hey, ETERNAL D, tell ya friend that BLUE FORGE GAMES.com has 'em on sale for 45 bucks. I bought one two months ago and the thing came in the mail well-packaged. My total came to about $54, so if yer friend's looking for a new one, I think this online store is one of his/her best bets.

Man, that's one crazy collection alright! and I wish it was MINE!

Hey, JOEL, the only kits I have from the Gundam Seed series are the 1/100 and 1/144 Red Frames, so I can't make any comparisons between these and the most recent releases. Anyway, the kits in both scales look great (suprisingly enough for the 1/144!). The 1/100 version is obviously a lot more articulated. The 1/144 version, just like ZEO-MARE said, might take a little more finesse in having to paint and detail (darn thing's just too small!). But after having to detail it, I think it's good enough to give the 1/100 version a run for it's money.

Joel

Thanks, DAT! I guess the MSRP is a little higher with this one, but no problem--I'm still getting me one. I'm just glad and grateful we're being given another chance to pick up a 1/48 ROY !

I'm with EXO on this one, gotta be VOLTES V (that's five! !).

Hey, SHIN, how much is that MSRP again in USD?

ground-combat protector weapon system? too bulky for space, but rick hunter did fly it when he encountered the

Huh?! HIKARU ICHIJO was out in space when he used it, where it would only take a minimal amount of force to get something moving. I don't think the bulkiness was a problem for the U.N. SPACY pilots that it prevented them to use the battroid modes w/ the GBP Armor on.

did anyone find out what happened to little anime shop?, if he move to another place i would like to know cuz he had some great stuff

yeah, I talked to Alex and he said he wasn't making enough money there so he's just selling online now. So check him out at www.littleanimeshop.com

Oh, man! Alex and his little anime shop have been there for ages. It's actually one of the few places I often buy from whenever I'm at F&S . Oh well, at least he's still selling on-line. Thanks for the heads up, BOBE-PATT !

Man, that was nice! I absolutely love that IVANOV type! BTW, that masterpiece VOYAGER isn't so shabby-looking either .

So if it is the TV version could that mean seperate TV fastpacks are in the works?

I hope YAMATO would offer it in a combo, just like what they did w/ da 1/48 HIKARU 1J *keeps fingers crossed!* !

I believe this trend is quickly killing the macross collectors. Many people whom I talk to stop collecting because the toys don't hold value anymore and not sought after when Yamato over-releases different color scheme versions and gets huge price cuts on ebay..

I agree with KENSEI on this one. This kind of trend is definitely good for true MAC fans and collectors 'coz it gives 'em a chance to pick up on something they might have missed out on earlier, which is the case with me. And let's not forget about those folks who are just starting to get into the MACROSS phenomenon. This is a wonderful opportunity for them also.

A second re-release of ROY, cool! Like most of you guys, I, too am taking advantage of this. Just gotta check w/ TAM and KEVIN now....

Don't you guys find it weird that Macross Compendium did not even list the exact words to the GBP acronym. The closest thing they have is "Ground-Combat Protector Weapon System". Of course, this description is accurate enough for me, but NOT for the particular acronym it's trying to describe.
