Die, Alien Scum! Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I dunno guys... the items are located in Florida. Yeah, now everyone's paranoid about buying from anyone in Florida due to the whole Alex/Peter Medina, collector1118, johnthomas1951, mechafreak, etc. thing. It makes you think twice before buying, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeo-mare Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 drop the guy a email, and tell him that you would like to buy it out at the buy it now price he posted, i have had a few ebayers end auctions for me like this , it sometimes works, just give the guy a email and tell him someone bid and you would like the item for the price he stated, if he is in a hurry to sell, he may just end it for you.

SDF-1 how much is that GBP armor valk worth ? i almost bid on it. great price on the SDF i'm not sure?, i've only seen it one other time(1J max GBP) on ebay about 18 months ago and it went for $80 or something but i think its worth more. seeing as most of us have never even heard of the 1/76 GBP, i think its worth quite a bit...atleast to me. even the folks that say they got everything macross, this is probably the one toy they don't have or never knew existed....yes my life sucks. its my own fault for putting in a wack ass bid to begin with, i only did it to keep an eye out for it cause ebay only lets you watch 30 items....sometimes you gotta bid if you can't watch.

ewilen Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 Around here, the 1/76 GBP doesn't seem to have very many fans. Also, that auction title/description seemed reasoanble, so I'd say it's worth whatever it went for. (Unlike the SDF-1.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 i just think its cool. it doesn't transform or anything it just has this one cool feature where the 2 seater cockpit chairs slide up and out the neck just like in the TV show. i have no idea what else it does, i just think that feature is unique and thats the only reason i like it.

ewilen Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 Yeah, that's a nice gimmick, especially since the only time we see a GBP in the original series, Hikaru gets on board that way. Hopefully you'll find another one at a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk009 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 You guys do know that the 1/76 GBP is a boot unless BigWest decided to lease their license to a Chinese company. Those writing on the box is Chinese! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewilen Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 Good point. The ones over at toyboxdx have the big print in English. http://www.toyboxdx.com/data/takatoku2/macross2.html I'll bet these are "semi-bootlegs" like the off-brand transforming SDF-1, the off-brand block system SDF-1, and the Matsushiro 1/55 and 1/100 VF-1J's. I.e., quite possibly made from the original molds (or even the original factory) but not licensed by BW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neova Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I've seen the 1/76 here a few times. Mint in box but the boxes are usually crap with a yellow window. I almost bought one for the GBP but when I looked closely, I noticed how crappy the sculpt was (to me) anyways. I rather pay more for a finished Hasegawa 1/72 Super/Strike Battroid. The seat ejection is one of the cool factors for it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenboy_forever Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 (edited) I always wanted one of those after I saw a picture of what it does. The head piece actually faces down and the seats pop out of the neck just like in the first episode of macross when hikaru get out of the orange vf-1d trainer in battloid mode.

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I have one of these, it is in fact a bootleg, but for a bootleg the quality is actually not bad. Mine is white and looks more like Hikaru's VF-1J TV . I too thought the head moving was a neat little gimmick. I was thinking about selling mine as well but since I never see them, its pretty unique so I have held on to it. If anyone wants to see any pictures let me know. Right now its boxed up with all the other stuff from my move. Interesting little toy though. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think those particular ones that the seller is listing may be bootlegs, but the actual ones released in Japan were official BW-sponsored merchandise. And yes, I believe the Max and the Hikaru were the only types made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
