Save Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Both Astrobit City and Volks have displays for the new Low Visibility Wood Land color Gbp-1s armor with retail box. Not sure if there is a thread for this, I looked but didn't find one. If I'm wrong please move to the right thread. Larger pics click below. pic 1 pic 2 pic 3 pic 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermillion21 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Cool pics - thanks for posting!! Odd that the front missle bay hatches and the shoulder missle bay hatches are different colour ... So who's buying this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1_soulja Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Huh... ya really can't tell the valk underneath the armor is the woodland camo version. From the pics, looks to be a cannonfodder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die, Alien Scum! Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 (edited) Huh... ya really can't tell the valk underneath the armor is the woodland camo version. From the pics, looks to be a cannonfodder. 423115[/snapback] Gotta look at the biceps and thighs since they're about the only parts, other than the head, that you can see with the armor on. They're white on CFs and stick out against the green and tan of the armor. Pic 1 shows a Hikaru 1A and you can really see just how bad the white looks underneath the armor. Thanks for the pics, SaveRobotech. It's looking pretty sweet now that Yamato decided not to use that nasty lime green color from the early pics they released.

Agent-GHQ Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Oohhh!! I'm lovin it!!! Good thing I ordered 5 of each. By the way Saverobotech, is the box's texture the same as the GBP1? Kind of like the sturdy feel to it. And I hope this GBP2 does not come with the velcro?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 (edited) meh, haven't a CF or a Camo Valk to warrant my purchasing this. Looks awesome tho! I just don't need it my collection. Maybe down the track if i purchase a c/fod. Non-cannon valks/accessories just aren't high priority with all that's comin out!

Agent-GHQ from looking at the box from outside the glass case it looks to be texture same as the orignial GBP1 box. Keep in mind this might just be an early box design and the final one might change.

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Will the new GBP have any kick of fix for the door mechanism? I hope someone who gets on of these can post pics if there is any difference between this and the original GBP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante74 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 IIRC the second production run of the normal GBP allready had the missile door problem fixed. This GBP looks better every time I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante74 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I never broke the breasts on my GBP. Maybe that's because I never touch my GBP's breasts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Damn!!! This scheme did nothing to me on the earlier pics without markings. Now that I see it all stickered up I MUST buy it!!!! That means I have to buy more CF's or Low VizII's. Already have three of the regular GBP, I see a heavily armored army coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Uhh, i broke one of my GPB boobs, proud of it... sought of. lol Well, no. i didn't have a screw driver at the time and i was almost perfectly careful with the missile loading thing! meh, simple glue job, never known it was broken.

Dante74 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I liked the box for the LV 2.0 and I like the box for this LV GBP. Way better then the CF boxart, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big F Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 You got to hand it to Astrobit City they had the Vf-0 ages before everyone else (afaik) IÂ saw it there and loved it as soon as I saw it. I asked the guy in the shop if I could photo it and he said no. I can only Imagine you either ussed your phone camera or your Jedi mind tricks.All we need now is a GBP in Cannon Fodder colours. 423083[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Kiddy gloves guys. Right, because if you spend $120 on a friggin' accessory to a toy it makes sense you'd have to handle it extremely carefully. I love the GBP but there's no way you should blame the poor folks who had a craptastically engineered piece break on them while they were loading the missiles.

In loading them and pulling them out I supported that piece with my finger, instead of giving it an almighty yank by pulling only on the missile itself. A twisting motion also makes it go in a lot easier. We've already established that it isn't a chunky monkey, so let's not treat them like one.

JEXPRIME Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I think it looks great however when you put that armor on you cant see the detail. Why make a cool paint scheme if you cant see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i unscrewed the back and did it the quick an easy way. Does that sound weird? ummmm Btw way i think it was already fractured or sumthin, hardly any blimmin force put into it and it went *chick* an i'm like damn you! it was half broken off (supporting hinge) so i broke it properly an glued it back like nuthin happend. No big deal! Edited August 8, 2006 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gian7675 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 This is a little bit off-topic but what's that silver gizmo beside the 4 Micro Missiles stacked side by side? Looks like a launching claw arm in DYRL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
