nightmareB4macross Posted August 8, 2006 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. 423398[/snapback] It is. The Yamato Display Stand, in CHROME.

Mowe Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 The LV armour looks freaking hot with the white texts!!!
kensei Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Hmmm....the GBPII might not work out with my CFs so I might drop off a few. I have eight spare. 423223[/snapback] Pretty sure you want to drop off a few Super Max VF-1Js as well. 423300[/snapback] You wish I Definitely got enough, no more no less. No customs will come from those babies. Got 3 VF-1A Max if you want tho'.
Project Phoenix Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Great, those pics did it! I wasn't really too awed by the original GBP set but this GBP camo really got me wanting one. I don't think anyone is taking anymore preorders right?
HoveringCheesecake Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 You wish I Definitely got enough, no more no less. No customs will come from those babies. Got 3 VF-1A Max if you want tho'. 423464[/snapback] Oh God, when I first read that I thought you said you were going to use them for customs! I almost cried. And no thanks. Super VF-1J Max all the way.
kensei Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 I got to say Graham, you did a good job in mentioning out concerns over the colours of the original. You've changed my mind! I'm buying three! Thankyou again.
wolfx Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Hi guys. Am in japan now and saw this down at akihabara. Hard to take pictures when there are signs all around warning you not to and store keepers giving u stern looks everytime they see you taking pictures. >_>
Chet Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 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. 423192[/snapback] This is the first I've heard of this. Got any more info? 423232[/snapback] Look here. It's from the GBP review thread. 423265[/snapback] Thanks. Posted a query in that thread.

They always have a nice display on in there. Your right about the stern looks. They gave me evils just coz I had my camera in my pocket and had to get it out to find my wallet.

Agent-GHQ Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Love the pic. Also, wouldn't be polite to ask the Mgr, for some shots? After all, you can say that you are advertising for overseas patrons.

But the manager was not so cool shall we say. He just said No.. Sorry No camera Please, and then shouted at the sales guy in Japanese so fast I couldnt tell what he was saying. Agent GHQ Did you just get recently your self a mint in box 1/55 Super O by chance ? Edited August 16, 2006 by big F
big F Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 I got it in Nov '05. 425725[/snapback] I guess this isnt you then Ebay page

Agent GHQ Did you just get recently your self a mint in box 1/55 Super O by chance ? 425676[/snapback] Yeah it was ABC. Man there was alot of cool stuff all over Akihabara but they really are anal about taking pictures. Stealing shots makes me feel like i'm shop lifting.
Dante74 Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Don't burden yourself with guilt. You just take the pictures and we'll feel guilty while drooling over the pics.
Scream Man Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Well, I just today picked up the woodland camo Valk. So...the GBP armour will cost about $200 with shipping to australia. thats ALOT for a set of armour. so convince me guys, is it goignt o be worthwhile doing?

I personally preffer the normal GBP colors to these allthough these are nice too. If it wasn't for the VF-0S/A, Angel Birds, YF-19 etc. coming, I'd get a Woodland Cammo GBP.

Scream Man Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 this one is slightly cheaper? like the cost is cheaper, or made of cheaper crap but still going to cost a fortune? And see, I have an 0S and an 0A on order, as well as a set of FAST packs for my 1S, so thats already about $650 i have rgight there. it has to be REALLY good to be worth grabbing for me...
kensei Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 As in it should cost around $95 USD for the GBP Armour.
Scream Man Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 really? well, yeah if it will be costing less than the first version did i might consider it a bit more. still about $150 Aussie though.... But Ill think on it.
kensei Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 I don't get why it's costing you that much to ship it. Should be $130 USD altogether, if that.
Ghadrack Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Hi guys. Am in japan now and saw this down at akihabara. Hard to take pictures when there are signs all around warning you not to and store keepers giving u stern looks everytime they see you taking pictures. >_> 425593[/snapback] I was just there this past week myself, I only know a few words of Japanese and had no idea about the picture policy. I went into an arcade/gambling joint there and tried to take some pictures of one of those Gundam arcade card machine tournaments, we have nothing like that where I live, jesus, you would have thought I was trying to take pictures of a nude celebrity or something, suddenly about 4 security guys come leaping from behind machines making "X's" with their arms shouting. Oops! So I was afraid to take pictures of the Angel Birds / Camo GBP displays but I saw the same ones. I wish we had stores like those within a couple hours of my house, the wall of Valk boxes in that ABC / LOAX stores had me drooling. Tokyo was a total sensory overload, what a fun trip.
Scream Man Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 Well, shipping is usually calculated by weigh and dimensions. I havent lifted the GBP armour, but i figure that in boz we're probably only looking at 2 kilos. However i have heard everywhere how big the box is, which means it will dim out higher. so 95 US is $125 at todays exchange rate. say about $25/30 aussie to ship and we're looking at $150 or so. Im still thinkign about it, but Im not sold just yet
AC Starscream Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 I ont have any armor yet for my 1/48th's, but I really like what I am seeing with the LV2 armor. I will deifnetly get this but will probably put it on my CF. I like the paint shceme of the LV2 to much to cover it up.
kensei Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 Problem is the bloody white arms. they spoil it.
muswp1 Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Anything definate about when it's coming out? It was supposed to be out a month after the VF-1A low-viz2 originally.
kensei Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Not long to go apparently. I just got bugged for money. At the end of the month.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 The CF looks better with regular armor I agree that it's a shame to cover the cammo of the LV2.
VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.COM Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 (edited) The Camo GBP1S and VF0A is suppose to be out Friday 8/25/06 -Kevin Edited August 23, 2006 by VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.COM
rick dieck Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Do you mean the camo gbp 1s and the angel birds vf1a coming this friday, because the vf0a is going to be until september 2006
Sumdumgai Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 No complaints here if the VF-0A is released this Friday.
