jenius Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 looks to me like the pic is just crummy, the camo on the LV valk also looks gray-ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan_f_davis@yahoo.com Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I got that impression too. I was hoping they would do the alternate colors of the gbp from those model kit boxes. But, I wish Yamato would release some 1:48 Valks that the fans really want... The one with "Ben" in the list, don't you mean kakizaki? I think it should be a thing where he is limited quantity (but not limited edition) Nobody likes him. 379519[/snapback] My bad, you are right...I keep thinking sometimes I am on a Robotech forum. Kakizaki. He's okay. Not the best, not the worst character. Just a guy who dies in both the movie DRYL and the TV show. That's pretty hard core. I dont know if any of us will die twice. On topic... I am excited for the new low vis 2. And the new armor for the toy. It has really grown on me... Now, only if we can see an official picture... That's when we will know if we are going to cringe, or dig even more money out of our dry wallets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabidweezil Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I always thought the GBP was more of a zero gravity thing. If that were the case, there would be no use for a camo version. I just can't invision some GBP crashing it's way through the jungle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabidweezil Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Those shots are from the VFX-2 intro. I guess it's the way the backpack thrusters are placed. They look like they are used more for proplusion then any sort of hovering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The backpacks seemingly weren't used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I can't wait to see box art for all the new releases. I think Yamato learned their lesson with the original LV and will never label anything "Limited Version" again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowe Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I suppose with the LE label, Yamato would burn its bridge if the product becomes a hit.

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 (edited) Yeah that's what I think. Maybe by putting the "Low Vis II" title they can attract fans of the low vis but not necessarily collectors. Hoping that fans of unofficial low vis paintschemes or camo will keep buying more 1/48 valks once all the other official paintschemes have been milked to death. hehe I think what happened with cannon fodder was that it was more because the brownies and 1A head is thought to be unpopular? So they had to make limited numbers of them for fear they would go unsold? (and then once demand for this would rise again they wouldn't be restricted from re-releasing more to meet the demand unlike what happened with low vis I ) In the short term they might lose out from collectors(attracted to LE releases), but by keeping options open for the future, it keeps the price to normal range for the masses, and allows more non-collector types who are fans, to jump on the bandwagon late once they saved up enough to be able to buy one in future. It would be good if they release an angel birds scheme or one of the tv color mistake paintschemes. (using cannon fodder pattern but in max color like the customs that have been done. Customs run the risk of having the paint come off - I want molded color) Edited March 19, 2006 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfx Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Some person here was doing a Thunder Hummer custom wasn't he? It was all at design phase though. Not sure if its still goin on. Now looking at the thunder hummer, modding the current GDP into it will be quite a chore. The chest armour has to be completely changed as it hangs lower on the chest and the rib vents are not present. I just realised this time round that the thunder hummer has a long crotch and looks nice with it....however wrong that may sound. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) OMG, it really is named "Thunder Hummer" and not "Thunder Hammer"... I always thought a Thunder Hummer was something best experienced with Sunrise Adams. Anyway, after the "OMFG, that thing looks so cool" initial glance I've become less thrilled with the Thunder Hummer. It doesn't look like it does as good a job on the whole armor bit as a GBP and almost looks like a GBP prototype. Is there a link to some official Macross canon background info on this particular item? Edited March 26, 2006 by jenius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I think anything would be better than that awful GBP 2 color scheme. This is one item I will not be sorry to see go out of production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
