derex3592 Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 NY has them at the bargain basement jacked up price of 42,500 Yen. F*cking crooked MFers. Just Sayin. Quote

(though it'll still be better than the inevitable eBay prices!) Everywhere else seems out of pre-orders already, it's odd that they still have "stock" considering most places sold out within 10mins or so it seems. Hopefully those that order late will get one. Haven't they cancelled ppls pre-orders before because they couldn't secure stock when the figure released? Quote
gingaio Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Psst...https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SH712ZH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote

Atomski Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) Thanks to a heads-up from a fellow collector pre-order secured at Amazon.com directly from Blufin. Edited June 5, 2019 by Atomski Quote

mikeszekely Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Got my preorder in, too. I was hoping it'd be a little closer to the Lion Voltron in price, but eh. Quote

Got my order in early this morning too. After paying tax (the new normal), the price was a wee bit more than what @Mog said he paid at NY, so I'm not complaining. Also, with any luck, Amazon's pre-order price guarantee will kick in and we will get a humble discount by the time November rolls around. Quote
Mog Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Glad folks were able to pick one up through Amazon. . . and at a reasonable price. Quote
sh9000 Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Congrats to everyone who got it from Amazon US. Just be cautious of items being cancelled as Amazon does this from time to time. Quote

Just be cautious of items being cancelled as Amazon does this from time to time. Yeah I don't want to scare anyone, hopefully all is well for everyone above, but by initial Chogokin Lion Voltron order was with Amazon US and that got cancelled due to the quantities they received being far, far less then expected, it's why I didn't bother with Amazon US for Vehicle Voltron. But once again, hopefully all is well, I'm still waiting on BBTS out of convenience, I get a lot of stuff from them nowadays. Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Just out of curiosity, why was the price on Amazon? Quote

I've had Amazon cancel Transformers pre-orders on me before, so I understand that of which you speak. Anyway, if the worst were to happen, I'll roll with it. It would be a real bummer for sure, but I do have my SOC Voltes V and Lion Voltron already so that's my personal silver lining I guess. Can't speak for anyone else though, and I do understand when others get frustrated with the numerous pre-order shenanigans. Quote

All I know is that it's $40 more than GX-71. Quote
JB0 Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Well, I missed the show and didn't have the cash free anyways. Hopin' for a proper US release announced later. Quote
technoblue Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Toy Dojo posted their pre-orders for GX-88 earlier today and I completely missed it. I would have considered replacing my amazon pre-order with them if I had been more observant. Anyway, here is the link: https://www.toydojo.com/soul-of-chogokin-gx-88-armored-fleet-dairugger-xv/ Vehicle Voltron is listed as out of stock, but it may be worth keeping tabs on this in case any slots are freed up due to cancellations. I'm sure other US stores that carry SOCs, like BBTS and The Chosen Prime, will follow suit and list this bad chicken soon. Quote
hkj711 Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Looks like HLJ has GX-88 available again for preorder https://hlj.com/chogokin-damashii-gx-88-armored-fleet-dairugger-xv-bans55495 Quote

Mechinyun Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Whew, got 1 in! Site was crashing/down for maintenance for a bit while checking out. Digital stampede! Edited June 10, 2019 by Mechinyun Quote

VF-Zer0S Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Definitely canceling my order with NY now. Saved at least $60 thanks for the link. Not gonna lie though, the website was slower for me lol Edited June 10, 2019 by VF-Zer0S Quote
sh9000 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) The price is not bad. About $378 shipped after tax and $4 shipping. Edited June 10, 2019 by sh9000 Quote
Tking22 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Got mine at BBTS, no sweat, nice and easy. Also pre-ordered my Monsterarts Rodan and Mothra two pack, much cheaper then NY. Quote
