mikeszekely Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) As a kid I loved lion Voltron. I wasn't as big on vehicle Voltron, but one day my dad bought me and my brother each a Voltron toy. Turned out he got us each one of the three guys that made up Gladiator Voltron. With only two of the three guys needed to make a whole Voltron, and those two guys being part of the only Voltron without a show of its own, I learned to appreciate the vehicle Voltron a lot more. 40 minutes ago, pengbuzz said: Okay.... now i just need to fins a junker Vehicle Voltron combining set that I can kitbash and add insane articulation to.

JetJockey Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 I still would like to see a Lion Voltron in the action line. I might even consider Vehicle Voltron in that line too. They need to pick up speed with it, I thought the next one would be announced by now. Quote

Kanedas Bike Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Got one (hopefully) at HLJ - order Acknowledgement and Confirmation emails. AmiAmi and HobbySearch both crapped out on me. Didn't get one the first time around so hopefully no surprises about limited stock... -b. Quote
Grey728 Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 I got one from HLJ as well. Confirmation and everything. Now let's hope it's not a fluke and my order doesn't get cancelled. Quote
Mog Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Is this the infamous Bandai pre-order madness I always hear about? Quote
Negotiator Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 yep i think i missed the hlj one too if they're already done taking orders Quote

Even if you're being sarcastic (lol) - the answer is yuuuuuuuuuuupppppppppppppp A good friend mentioned/reminded me that there might be a US release so hopefully, that will be my safety blanket. -b.

Grey728 Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Yeah. Hopefully there's plenty of US sites that carry it. I mean, that Metal Build Evangelion was on Amazone for like 4 days before it finally sold out unlike the usual pre-order madness for macross stuff. Quote
Negotiator Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) got 1 from anime export http://www.anime-export.com/product/43244 just fyi for new ppl. it's pay upfront Edited March 1, 2019 by Negotiator Quote

So, wasn't sure if it's just a "Bandai Macross" thing or a "Bandai in general" thing. In any case, nothing up on NY just yet (just the original release at ridiculous premium). Quote

All good, yeah this is the world we live in now with regards to hot or popular Bandai items. Macross HMR or DX Chogokin, Gundam Metal Build or GFFMC, SH Figuarts, Soul of Chogokin and really any other "must have" item. It's equal parts fun and frustrating, with it leaning more towards the latter for the items you really, really want - but can't get. -b. Quote

D' only Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Didn't manage to get one, got cancelled at the time I placed the order. Quote

I thankfully was able to keep the Air and Sea Team I bought years ago in fairly good condition, but I had to spend a significant chunk of change to get the Land Team. There's just too many parts that can break down on the old Bandai/Matchbox one (the clips on the red fighter, the fists breaking and no longer staying inside the arms, the connections on the hip joints not holding or getting locked into place, just to name a few). Plus, you're dealing with a 30+ year old toy. You might luck out on a knock-off, but the odds aren't favorable. P.S.--Looks like NY's pre-order for Golion is already sold out. Quote
Slave IV Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Was anyone able to get one from NY? I'm still on the wheel of death for over 30 mins now and I can see that it is sold out but just hoping. Quote
Slave IV Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Lol, and they just relisted it at 31990 with pay up front. Quote
Mog Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) ^^Yah, went from Y26,800 (or Y28,600) to Y31,990. . . . And now, it's sold out at Y31,990. Got one order in, but I'm hoping against hope that Dairugger XV won't be as crazy. . . . And yet again, NY jacks it up to Y37,000! Edited March 1, 2019 by Mog March (Preorder) Madness Quote
Slave IV Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Haha, that is some low shi+ they started doing lately. Saying the item is out of stock and then relisting it for more a minute later. F that. Every site now seems to have some drawback these days. Oh well. Quote
Slave IV Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 How long until US sites usually list their preorders? Quote
magicsp00n Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Jeez, that was fast. I been looking out for preorders all week and it's all over while I sleep. Hopefully limited Japan stock means more for US retailers. Quote

Mechapilot77 Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 dammit was thinking of picking up a reissue...oh well. i guess i'll just be very careful in handling the original or pick up the FJ KO. when does vehicle voltron hit? don't want to miss on that. the one i have is the questionably licensed (or not) one from a few years back. miracle i think? lots of diecast, but not bad but not as stable and sturdy as an SOC would be.

As long as the main bodies are in reasonable shape, the connectors aren't important. I'll probably rebuild them anyways to my specs. Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Just curious. Can the SoC Black Lion can sit and pose like this? Edited March 1, 2019 by no3Ljm Quote
