here's a robot time machine that can transform....... Transformm~~~

hey...that's my alpha's pic you're using...

still in college doin my final year in ME. will hopefully grad in summer 06 (Lib Ed classes suck )

to put it in perspective, the size difference that you see between a 1/60 and a 1/48 VF-1 in toy form is actually the same size difference between the VF-0S and the VF-1 in real life (because 1/48 VF-1 is about the same size as 1/60 VF-0)....what big birds VF-0's are.. aaajin

I STILL DONT GET IT ! just j/k

Wet your transforming toy appetite with THIS!

....and proton is a Malaysian based company~!

Actually, Yamato don't necessarily make a ton of money on the 1/48 or any toy, unless they sell sufficiently large quantities. One thing to remember, is just because the retail price of a 1/48 is say ¥14,800, that doesn't mean that Yamato is getting back ¥14,800 for each 1/48 they sell. Between Yamato and the final customer (you), there is a usually a couple of layers of middle-man that the toy passes through first, with each one adding their own mark-up, e.g. from Yamato to distributor, from distributor to toy store, from toy store to final customer. The actual price that Yamato sells each 1/48 for is not that high probably less than half the recommended retail price. When you deduct the production cost from this selling price, the actual profit per toy is pretty small.

Im interested too

its funny that no one commented on the middle-man's part/role in jacking up the price..

I think he attached the whole thing to the backpack...(see 2nd pic)

and I though you use the banpresto mini SD valks for the armor parts...anyone wants to try that?

cool...how big is that thing?

youll be an otaku. for sure

now that's a good looking Roy....did you use the stock stickers or the custom water slide decals? one of these days Im gonna have to sticker up my valks..they look soo good with the stickers on & cmon guys, we need more GBP pics in action

whut the hell....

it doesnt break easily and AFAIK there has never been any single report of breakage on that area. That's becuz its made of metal (dont ask me what kind of metal did yamato use) and therefore sturdy enough for 1 million & 1 transformations... ha..ha..ha not funny aaajin

the figures is from Ichigo 100% anime series. Its a good anime esp for perverted anime otakus like you guys

I highly recommend it....I mean, its really funny seeing Densha stammering & do all sort of weird stuff when he's talking to Hermes...on the PHONE...like slapping his own face and hitting his head on the keyboards...cant wait to see what other changes he'll made to himself nyway, does anybody know a good mirc channel to download all the episodes? A friend said he's already downloaded all the 11 episodes with full subs... aaajin

just started watching this J - dorama....and Im finding myself liking it a lot....Ive been laughing like hell while watching the 1st ep....

I watch the anime... I read the manga as well...and all I could say is that... the series ROCKS! especially when dark Ichigo appears in eps 59...kewl aaajin

well at least yamato has the all-magnificent 1/48s line and toiii-namy has none kah kah kah kah kahhhh edited : added the laugh just to insult toiii-namy fans. & yeah, I dare not spell toii-namy correctly as itll injure my pride

:rolleyes:

another group shots...I need the max cockpit to complete the collection though

the pic looks like its the actual toy & not the prototype like the previous pics that we saw - because the chest cover looks like its made outta plastic, (a bit translucent on the edges) & not the solid material that they use for the prototype version. Maybe we'll gonna see em pretty soon mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
