Mowe Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) Holy Sh**! This is a real devious plot from Yamato. My wallet can’t handle this anymore…I think it is time to call my bank loan manager. This is sick. Edited March 3, 2006 by Mowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 reminds me of the more humanoid looking destroid that hikaru once used in the tv series. I think it was the gladiator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent-GHQ Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Have mercy on our wallet Yamato. Damn.....will this torture ever end? Definitely a hot item for the LV 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante74 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 No way! And I just ordered the normal version from HLJ a couple of days ago. Good color choice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent-GHQ Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 May I ask how much you paid for it? No way!And I just ordered the normal version from HLJ a couple of days ago. Good color choice though. 376104[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante74 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 You may. Here's the link to it.(About $103.62 USD; €86.08 Euros) No shipping included in this price. They will restock in march, allthough now I'm thinking about canceling the order and ordering this Low Vis version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigkid24 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) Damn. That looks so much better than just the valk itself! Edited March 3, 2006 by bigkid24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I had a feeling the gbp would be for the camo valk. Fits right in with the monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy's Blues Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Dunno....I will prolly order one, since my LV2 is already paid for. That lime green... Where's the puking smiley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy's Blues Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Lime green missile hatches is not what I'd like for the opening hatches. I would rather see them in light grey. 376112[/snapback] I agree, then you could use on the original low vis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project Phoenix Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I think Yamato is trying to boost LV2's sale by releasing this green GBP. Again, it could be that someone in China accidentally dipped the GBP set into lime-green paint instead of dark blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1994cobra Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) Man thats insane! I cant believe all the stuff Yamato is coming out with.. Its definately cool, but if I get the lowvizV2, I dont think I would want to display it with the GPB2 armor on, since you would not be able to see the camo paint, which is what makes the LowvizV2 intersting to look at IMO. I dont know though, a green version of that armor is very interesting. DEfinately something to think about. Damn, I just wish this stuff was cheaper.. $100.00 for another armor set is not chump change.. $200 for the Stealth with strike Armor $150 for the new low viz $100 for low Viz armor $$450!!!!

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 That lime green was a poor choice IMHO. I didn't like the LV2 and this armor don't do anything tro spice it up for me. I'll stick to my classic GPB for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaHX Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Wow, Yamato doesnt really do anything Macross related for several years and BAM, a billion new releases. I hope that means Yamato realizes that Macross is highly profitable and will continue making more toys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nani?! Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 hmmm... maybe if... hmmm............ meh.... I dunno..... whatever's dark blue is olive green, and whatever's white is now neon green (except the hands)... Although I think it's great that yamato is making more stuff, the remakes just look like I dunno dare I say,... recolored bootleg remakes.

Penguin Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I always thought of the GBP-1 as a space-optmized enhancement... where the extra mass of the armour wouldn't hamper battroid movement as it would under gravity. So, for me, a green GBP-1 doesn't thrill... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Remember when we thought the GBP was the Macross merchandise that Yamato would ever make? LOL. Now WE'RE the ones that can't take all the new releases at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I understand the business side of things, these remakes just SCREAM "MILK IT, BABY!!" If they're going to repaint stuff, I think they should either: 1) Hire one of MW's master custom painters. 2) stick to and be faithful to the original real world examples without putting their own little spin on it (judging by what they're coming up with so far, they dont seem to be too talented in the painting/color dept.) 3) Just stick to the anime and repaint the schemes that have yet to be painted... ie; the green q-rau, tv colors, etc.... Thumbs up for the effort though~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Arms Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I gotta have it. Yamato is gonna put me in the poor house. Though it does kinda suck in that it covers up most of the details that makes the LV2 so unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightbat Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) Could someone do some of us (me) a favor and head for Yamato HQ ...and kill 'em all I don't mind collecting 10 things that look the same except for their color I don't mind the price if the design/craftsmanship is worth it I do mind that a manufacturer thinks I work 3 jobs for a bloody childhood hobby and/or got an infinite moneysack between my legs 1/60's were "managable" buying 2-3 a month since they were 1/3rd the price This is idiocy! ...Friggin morons Edited March 3, 2006 by Nightbat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Nani!? There is a scene on the 20th aniversary disk that shows a team of GBPs on a ground mission... pretty sweet clip. And hmm.... the LV2 just became tolerable because now you can't see it.... but I think that if you replaced the aweful lime green with light grey, this would look fantastic on the LV2 or a CF.

Sundown Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I'm one of the few that actually kind of like the LV2, but that lime green is nasty. I think they would have been much better off doing a CF-tan GBP. It's canon, it goes with the CF, and it would work on the LV2. Sigh. But that'd actually make too much sense.

fansubs2000 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Yamato's Macross toys have always been expensive because they don't make large quantities at a time. With all the releases at one time, i would be hoping for prices to come down a bit. Wishful thinking i guess. I'll have to pass this time around, i have to draw the line somewhere. Too many things at once, Yamato lower prices please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moon has gravity on it but the force it subjects objects to is a lot less than Earths. I suppose it's entirely possible that there's another planet out there with a weaker graviational pull yet has trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I don't know it looks pretty good on the LV. 2 but other than that i think this GBP repaint is a one trick pony.

Wait, didn't the VF-0 have some form of armor? I forgot if it was stationary or managed to hover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
