Bub Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 may i share my forecast? many fans are not gonna get this Hayao Kakizaki version. then a couple of shrewd "hoarders" will fill their homes with this until it becomes scarce....... then the fans will notice how rare this item is. "hoarders" will then post their Hayao's in ebay at a not so ridiculous price to test the waters...... then the auction fetches him 2.5 to 3 times the original price!!!!

Dante74 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I like the new boxdesigns Yamato makes. Way better than the old simple dull black boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlenhoff Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I prefer the dull black boxes. I do like the chest piece design, but I'd rather they use it in a low opacity form combined with the black back ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwwmwww Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Both Astrobit City and Volks have displays for the new Low Visibility Wood Land color Gbp-1s armor with retail box. Larger pics click below. pic 1 pic 2 pic 3 pic 4 Why does pic 1 have a different valk in the Gbp-1s armor then then other pics? Is the first pic of the Astrobit City display and the other 3 of the Volks display or vice versa? Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't which display is from where though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Has anyone received a set of the new Low Vis armor yet? I have mine and it's all stickered up. Fantastic piece, a great addition to my collection. I hated the bland look and colours of the regular GBP, but considered getting one anyways because I do like the design, this one however looks fantastic, the colours are perfect, and it convinced me to grab a Low Vis.2, which I was going to pass on (It looks a lot better in person, all decaled up, than it does in the online pictures I'd seen).

kensei Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Yeah I got mine too and the LVII as well. When I checked it out for myself, the CF just doesn't suit the GBPII. Colours are great on both pieces, strong and dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly4victory Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 That is great news that it looks better first hand. I am jealous. Mine is still sitting on Pre-Order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensei Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 (edited) Hey I waited a long time too, to save on the shipping.

kensei Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) Well I hope you guys can make your decisions with these pics whether it's worth it or not. I have to say, this GBP came out a lot darker than I thought. Like they fricken fried it too long or somethin.

kensei Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) Thanks. you can imagine though, that any amount of white to the GBPII will spoil it. Lucky I ordered extra LVIIs. Edited September 20, 2006 by kensei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 oh looks nice but i made the mistake of getting 2 set of the regualr GBP armor and can't justify spending more money on it. if/when i sell one of the blue GBPs, then i'll pick up the the camo.

Godzilla Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 then the limo driver takes it straight to his warehouse. You guys got it all wrong. He owns his own trucking company so he had the container shipped and then trucked to his warehouse in the desert. Remember he buys in bulk.

promethuem5 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hmmm...for some reason, your pics of it next to the normal release GBP (one of my favs) makes me want this armor and the LVII even less...I wasn't planning on buying either before, but now I really don't want the armor ever... something about the comparison shot just kills it for me...

I gotta say it defintely came out alot darker than i thought it would, but i think it makes a pretty good contrast to the original. It's too bad it only goes really well with the Low Viz 2, meaning you'll have to be spending 250+ to get the right look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This khaki scheme is much better than lime green. I must admit, I'm not amazed by this, and this makes me want to consider the practical considerations of having a GBP operate on earth, but it's a worthy addition.

Graham Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Took the woodland camo GBP armor out of the box last night. Very happy with it. Haven't had time to take apart the chest yet to see if any improvements were made. The attention to detail continues to amaze me. I love the way that even the inside of the armour has panel lines. One change I noticed compared with my standard GPB, is that the backpack thrusters now have a distinct click, when moving the thruster nozzels between the two positions.
