thereal9thdoctor Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 Yeah, when I saw the price for the option set I said, "NOPE!" I HATE how Bandai jacks the price up for web exsclusives, and this just isn't at all worth it to me. $300 or more for a new StealthGao, driver and stand? Nope. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 Same. That box isn't even as big as King J-Der. Love that brick of a toy. Quote
yman1437 Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Need a Godsigma and Daimos........totally missed them, anyone has lead to a good deal on either? Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 I think I want this. I'm guessing Buzz will get gattai action of his own later on. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 There was a video about the Robo Sheriff Woody somewhere. At the end there was a silhouette of Buzz. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 SOC Voltron/GoLion??? https://twitter.com/TamashiiNations/status/740396082425913349 Quote
abbadon Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 SOC Voltron/GoLion??? https://twitter.com/TamashiiNations/status/740396082425913349 I hope so. Whatever happened to the Madtoys one? I thought they got a license? Quote
JB0 Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 I think I want this. I'm guessing Buzz will get gattai action of his own later on. Oh my Primus, that is amazing. Quote
Scyla Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Since next year is the 10th anniversary of Gurren Lagann I believe I would love to get a SoC version of the main mecha in 2017. In the meantime I will try to hunt down the Riobot version. Quote

In the meantime I will try to hunt down the Riobot version.This or SoC Genesic Gaogaigar. Either would do just fine though Quote
treatment Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Newest SOC is... t_features_2016-Jul-01.jpg That'll be interesting. Quote
Tking22 Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Will it actually separate and combine though? If it doesn't I have zero interest. Quote
SuperHobo Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Will it actually separate and combine though? If it doesn't I have zero interest. Of course it will separate and combine. This is the Soul of Chogokin line where it hosts mostly large combining super robots. You might be thinking of the Super Robot chogokin line which is much smaller and nontransformable. Quote
areaseven Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Does Japan even care about Golion anymore? Or is this SOC mainly for American and international fans? Quote

JB0 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Does Japan even care about Golion anymore? Or is this SOC mainly for American and international fans? I suspect it is mainly for us. My understanding is Japan pretty much NEVER cared about Golion. The San Diego Comic Convention unveil is another clue. Though even ignoring the high US demand, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be the first "obscure mech no one wanted" in the lineup. Edited July 2, 2016 by JB0 Quote
areaseven Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Though even ignoring the high US demand, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be the first "obscure mech no one wanted" in the lineup. Not at all. Looking at the list of SOCs released, that dubious honor would probably go to The Big O. Quote
JetJockey Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Does Japan even care about Golion anymore? Or is this SOC mainly for American and international fans? If Voltron isn't that popular in Japan, it makes me wonder about Saber Rider / Bismarck. There wasn't much interest in Saber Rider here when I posted about that Kickstarter for the videogame. But since we are getting an official Soul of Chogokin Voltron, I would like to see them make Ramrod or whatever they called him in Japan. Along with small versions of the team vehicles like that other company did for the Gatchaman God Phoenix. But I'm sure Gatchaman is far more popular than Voltron and Saber Rider in Japan. As Gatchaman has numerous shows where Voltron and Saber Rider just have the originals that I'm aware of. With Voltron I don't count the American versions that I haven't even seen. Quote
Sandman Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 I loved saber rider. The show commits all the localizing sins of making a dub for North American audiences and then some but somehow works as its own thing. The orginal series it based on, Bismark seems tame in comparison. Quote
UN Spacy Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Release date: 12/2016 MSRP: 32,400 yen http://figsoku.net/blog-entry-31437.html Quote
JB0 Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Aaaand the Amazon link they pulled the pix from is already in the 404 abyss. Sounds like someone turned it on early. Edited July 19, 2016 by JB0 Quote
mechaninac Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 And to think that for a moment I considered the possibility of entertaining the notion of purchasing one of these, but for 32,400 yen... Not only no, but H3LL NO. Easy pass unless it ever hits the 50% off discount bin. I know that will never, or at least is very unlikely to, happen so I'll just have to enjoy it vicariously. Quote
barurutor Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 The JPY32400 should be with 8% tax, so it should cost 30k yen+shipping for foreign buyers. Still quite expensive anyway. Quote
Tking22 Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 That looks sexy, I'm glad I never entertained the idea of that insanely expensive Toynami version, plus Toynami, what was I thinking? Quote
mechaninac Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) The JPY32400 should be with 8% tax, so it should cost 30k yen+shipping for foreign buyers. Still quite expensive anyway. True, even excluding the sales tax and taking into account preorder discounts of up to 15%, once you add shipping you're right back around the 32-33K or more yen mark... far too much mullah in my book.

Phobos Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 Damn. I may have to pick this up. I quit buying toys awhile ago, but i've always been a little bummed that there was never a Voltron good enough to display with my other SOC & valks. Bring it! Quote
F360 Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 25980 yen at AmiAmi SOC VOLTRON 07/20 1600 jst http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-021553&page=top Quote
JB0 Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 So all the preorders went up, filled up, and went down. And now someone in Japan is desperately trying to figure out who the heck is buying Golion toys by the thousands. Quote
