Something cool going thru the instructions.

On the first page on how to install the armor parts the first step is on switching the heads.

But on the part about transforming from battroid to fighter. The first step is switching the heads again.

Is some part of the visor actually ejected with the rest of the armor? Or it is just anime magic?

The US post office charged you an extra $66? How?

I'm in Mexico.

For all the years I have being buying from over seas it is the 3rd time I pay taxes.

As far as I know only 10% of all packages that go thru customs are acutally checked and charged some taxes. 

Just picked mine up from post office.

Customs charged me an extra $66 USD 

Anyways, I was expecting to be a bigger box. Also is a little heavier than I thought

receive mine today from okiniland BUT, i have TWO LEFT LEG ARMORS!

 

Holy!

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.

Yup-that is the pin that shall never be fully seated on my open gbp set...no way amd I breaking this.

For future resale auctions what do we call this?
"GBP for sale, used, crotch pin intact" ?

 

Sounds like the infamous B tab on the Yamato 1/72 FY-19

I've put two sets of armor on and I can't for the life of me remember seeing what you and the other commenter are talking about. Do you have pics? Thanks!

I think he mean this one.

In some videos you can see they push to hard on it

Man. HLJ now taking its time to get my combo shipped. 

Any one still waiting from them?

Surprise, bitches!  Even MORE firepower!

Certainly, yeah... but I'm not unlocking the waist joint to find out! 😅

It only needs the double strike cannon

Just got charged by HLJ. Only EMS available for now to Mexico.

They charged me 8680 yen for the GBP combo and 2 other small items.

Shoulder armor seems to be wider on the DX. Are they?

AE just informed me my Vf-1j combo pack is in stock *hype*

HLJ in stock date is 09-30. Hope it is sooner. The waiting is killing.

Lets return to 'GBP Talk' here on PBS and please not get derailed on other matters-thanks!

So who is going to be the first to try a dx gbp vf-1d with the dual seats showing and the head tilted?

They should be compatible right?

 

I remember that one.

Isn't the chest armor barely balancing on top of the chest plate?

You can see on the bottom near the waist armor that is not fully pushed back.

Did you know the Bandai costs less than the Yamato did?

Bandai just put out the best 1/48 GBP ever for the least amount of money and people still want more.........

I remember Yamato toys to be super cheap (compared to today's standards).

Arcadia toys price tags just skyrocketed for some of the same molds.

I don't know how much that set would cost if released today.

Wotafa’s video has the leg side boxes and the hip grenades as being seen as having removable missiles/grenades.

For the price tag I would love all the micro missiles bo be removable

Ok, do I get my Macross card revoked asking this question?
I always figured those slats under the chest and on the arms were just design features...to fill in the empty space.

Are these actually exhaust vents for the missiles when they launch out? Basically pressure release?

 

 

Cause I never see anything coming out of them if they were.

A bit can be seen here. Seems to be vents.

Vaca Santa!

Still can believe I landed a PO at HLJ.

Counting the days.

It’s out??

The card on the display a few post above still reads 2021-09 -25

Is that a Tamashi shipper box? Or just a regular brown box?

I can see a barcode on it.

Just slightly below eBay pricing. Man, the Roy's are shelf warmers. Who would have thought?

Which one is more popular? TV or DYRL?

As far as I know it is the only one that have 2 different appearances.

Almost all the VF-1A and Js variants are unique for TV or DYRL each.

Maybe people us waiting for a DYRL release.

Sorry. *Wrong post*

How the HELL does he not paint over all the Tampo printing??? I doubt he redoes all the markings with waterslide decals..or maybe he does?  But how would he get them to match the Bandai ones???

Some look masked. Zoom the image and look near the air intake on the chest plate. Others like the one the airbrake seem to be lost completely

Just came across this one on Instagram. Starting to feel a bit of regret for not trying to get one.

Supers for my Roy (from @Skull005) just hit my door this afternoon. Late to the party, but glad I had the chance to get one set. Now just counting down the days to get my hands on that sweet, sweet GBP.

Huge thanks to @Skull005

Smooth and fast transaction. Super fast and cheap shipping also.
