Lonely Soldier Boy Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Hi, fellas! New kid in town. I have tons of questions so I decided to sign in. I'm thinking on buying the Yamato 1/48 VF-1J from the TV series IF and only IF Yamato is going to release the armor. News or rumors anyone? (How can I add an icon to my posts, by the way?)

Dangard Ace Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 No news or rumours of 1/48 armor. Just people speculating that if the 1/60 armor sells well that Yammie will make it 1/48 sized too.

KingNor Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 (edited) uh... from what i know you're kind of asking "the big question" i'm asuming you mean the GBP armor (or what ever) the real bulky stuff with all the missiles. i hope they release it. its not out now though, thats for sure, and no one knows if its ever gonna be out, there's been no news one way or the other (right?) as for your icon, go to "my controls", on the right you should see "edit avatar settings" then you just select one you like and go from there. if you want to make you're own you should be able to figure it out by reading the instructions. hope you like mac-world ***edit*** stupid moderators, typing all fast n stuff..

Nightbat Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 (edited) Rumour: Yamato might make a GPB in the future Truth: "Might" doesn't mean "Will" and the 1J has already been released with Fastpacks Speculation: "if" there will be a GPB, very doubtfull it will come with the 1j in a nutshell: NO!

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted January 15, 2004 Author Share Posted January 15, 2004 Thanks for the warm welcome everybody, and for the tips. Here's my new signature. Like it? As for the GPS armor I guess I'll have to wait and hope that Yamato releases the Valk along with the armor someday. Or it would be too big for one box?

KingNor Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 (edited) it IS kind of a toss up, a 1/60 with the armor would look pretty damn sweet. but would it be sweeter than an unarmored 1/48 valk?? tough call. if it were me, i'd get the 1/48 and hope for the armor. but thats just me (i like my valks naked) actually i think i'll poll it.

I think the valks naked are the finest and coolest things in the Sci Fi history. Why d'you think I'm such a macross geek??? But my hunger for the 1/48's will have to be satisfied with the Fokker (my favorite), I can't afford the whole line yet. The 1J is okay but the idea of having a GPB version standing in my studio is just too much!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 A 1/48 GPB version, I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_Randy Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Welcome Lonely soldier boy.. As wit the armor go ask Graham, he knows all an sees all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 Good idea. Graham? Are you there? is Yamato planning a 1/48 VF-1j with the GPB armor? Huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangard Ace Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I don't think Graham could answer that even if he wanted to. Besides: a) Yamato 1/60 GBP armors are almost out. b) Announcing 1/48 armor will almost certainly take away from 1/60 armor sales. c) Yamato's a company. They sure as heck aren't going to do that. So there can be no answer to your question, at least not for awhile(if ever). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there can be no answer to your question, at least not for awhile(if ever). Speculations, speculations... Graham can never say anything about Yamato. People on the board are so curious that they reveal "Yamato's secrets " befor Graham. So, what does Graham do : He says " I know about this but I can't tell you" In fact, I realize that we mustn't wait any news from him but we must look for the scoops by ourselves. Graham keeps all secrets for him and if he ever reveals a secret, then Yamato will no longer give him some preview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaine23 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 (edited) Good idea.Graham? Are you there? is Yamato planning a 1/48 VF-1j with the GPB armor? Huh? He won't be able to tell you. Even if he knew, Yamato wouldn't want that information known. The fact is that Yamato is being pretty wise about all of this. They won't announce any news of a 1/48 armor until the 1/60 armor has run it's course. I wouldn't either, if I was them. The fact is that many people wouldn't buy the 1/60 if they knew for sure that a 1/48 version was coming down the road. My guess, is that we probably will see 1/48 GBP, but it'll be some time before we do. Until then, welcome to Macrossworld! Like your mecha avatar... feel free to show off more of your work sometime, it looks great. edit: That damn moderator can type fast...

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted January 22, 2004 Author Share Posted January 22, 2004 Like your mecha avatar... feel free to show off more of your work sometime, it looks great. Wow! Thanks! Sure I will. I'm comic artist myself and a sucker for mechas, so I have tons of designs. As for the GPB I agree with you all: Yamato need the sales and Graham the scoops, so nobody can answer my question. It's okay, I know the answer already: Yamato won't miss the chance to make money out of the 1/48's, so it's just a matter of patience. Meanwhile I'll have a lot of fun with my first 1/48 next week when it get's here. Yee-haw!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
