wyaxyz Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 Just found this bootleg on ebay.......comes with a bubble wand too...lol http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...ssPageName=WDVW
fifbeat Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 LOL! OMG.... I dare someone to customize their 1/48 Yammy to look like that "Galaxy Defender"... LMAO!
KingNor Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 (edited) so.. his name is "galaxy defender" and somehow he is "the robots that change!" sweet. this fugly step kid of the valks shows up every once in a while, this is the first time i've seen him bundled with a bad ass bubble device! Edited August 13, 2004 by KingNor
myk Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 If I see that in a Wal-Mart I'm so buying it. Maybe they'll release versions that include 1 of the armor types?
robokochan Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 Whooaaaa! It's a FAN YANG! You don't want to mess with a Galaxy Defender that comes with a Fan Yang...there is no defense....the ultimate weapon! (Ducks super bubble beam emited from the Fan Yangs multi-orificed moisture shooters... )
JsARCLIGHT Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 I make this same joke every time someone mentions the Galaxy defender... Look at his shoulders and feet! ? He's a GS-11! It's a government paper pushing robot! His accessories include a stapler, paperwork, ten lunchbreaks a day and a fat packcheck from Uncle Sucker.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 I can't describe how ugly and wrong it looks
Vostok 7 Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA there's a reverse hoodscoop on the nose!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: Vostok 7
do not disturb Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 i think its a pretty sweet bootleg for $10. i don't know what else it comes with but you definitely get the gunpod, and if you get the missiles and arm clip for the gun, it ain't that bad, oh and not to mention the sweet blue windshield.
sbarrett4 Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 I have one, and its decent. Pretty good quality for a bootleg, equalt to or better than Joons. If the shipping were less, I might buy another.
myk Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 I picked up the Galaxy Defender VF-17 today, for a mere 3.98. Considering the low price tag, it isn't a bad deal. Besides, robots that turn into jets and then back again is what got most of us here in the first place...
memphis Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 Yah...i also seen it at the Popular book shop!!! and the other product like the Gaogaigar truck robot also available...my own opinion...the Gaogaigar robot is a good choise!!!
Toonz Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 Yah...i also seen it at the Popular book shop!!! and the other product like the Gaogaigar truck robot also available...my own opinion...the Gaogaigar robot is a good choise!!! seen it at popular too...got a shock!
Limbo Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 I wish I could find the VF-1 type at walmart... I think there's an ebayer scavenger in my area cause everything is always gone :/ There's a new GD around inspired on the Armada Megatron. It's has a significantly remolded head and torso and some nice features have been added including a handle on the tank barrel, an extra gun that can connect to the back of tank mode and a shield that creates a filler for the front of the tank mode making it look more like a real tank and hiding the head. The desert camu colors also looks much better. here's the beast:
Renato Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Wow. That looks even better than the original. I think that's the first time I've seen a bootleg which improves on its model. Nice!
kidkorrupt Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 myk-were did you get it for $4?? there was a review of it on the old boards. it's different than the cheapie $5 bootlegs from the old days. the plastic is better and there are actually diecast parts in it besides the screws. for $15 and under i think its excellent fodder for a beginning customizer.
Limbo Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 The tank is $7 bucks at Wal-Mart. I've seen it in stock today
CID Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 After seeing post of this stuffs for several weeks now, I decided to check my local Walmart (I live in Socal) last weekend. They had few in stock, the price range from $4-8. However, it was all the way on the top of the shelf (the very top). I am over 6 feet, if I was shorter, I probalby would not have seen it. anyways, my G/F thought that I was finally going crazy (She understand my Macross, Robotech Gundam and higher grade collections). Anyways, I brought it homew and transformed. Actually, it is well worth the prices I paid for three different items. Anyways, I will try to post some pics this coming weekend, if I have time.
Lightning Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 HAH! i work in Wal-Mart, and i've managed to have every one that we've stocked so far come thru my line. lookin at the -17-ish one it actually looks decent, i was surprised...
kanata67 Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 still have yet to see anything even remotely like them at any of the walmarts in FL... I feel deprived
nucleartiger Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 I just got mine off eBay for 5.00 US, it's worth it, a very well made bootleg, no major quality issues. I put Macross stickers on it though and some 1/55 fast packs, looks great!
myk Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 myk-were did you get it for $4??there was a review of it on the old boards. it's different than the cheapie $5 bootlegs from the old days. the plastic is better and there are actually diecast parts in it besides the screws. for $15 and under i think its excellent fodder for a beginning customizer. Oops, looks like I forgot I had ever posted in this thread. As some of us have said, 'So-cal Wal-Marters can pick up these guys for as little as 4 dollars.
