All jokes aside, it is not looking good for a December (2012) release. As much as I try to be cool about Miracle Productions' practices, I just don't think I will be dealing with them any more when it comes to pre-ordering their products. They'll have to come up with a really sweet deal for me to hand them over my money without a solid release date (give or take one month). I did it with Fewture, but only because their releases usually became impossible to find at a realistic price after they were released. That doesn't seem to be the case anymore. But Miracle Productions stuff seems to be way more readily available anyway. I just feel like I have been taken advantage of in some way. Like Miracle Productions never seriously started anything regarding this Voltron until they had enough money from pre-orders in their bank account. Anyway... just needed to rant a little to blow off some of the frustration I have with this. }D

I agree with you TMZ! I will not be pre-ordering anything from them again unless they SERIOUSLY sweeten the pot.

By pre-ordering I'm guessing y'all meant pre-PAYING ... and in FULL no less?
I too am getting antsy and a tad disappointed in MP ... none of the recent "updates" had any meat to them ... mostly a rehash of photos we've seen before.
We need some definitive updates ... even if it's Spring 2013 or later, just let us know what's going on.
With the money we've already given them, it's the least they can do.
Can someone contact Dave to contact MP for a REAL update?
Do we not deserve that much???

Well Dave is just the distributor if they don't give him any info he has nothing to say. This is also affecting his business too, angry customers mean they won't be repeat buyers so I'm sure he wants this thing released as much as we do.

Yeah. I do not blame Dave. I suspect he feels as bamboozled as the rest of us

I don't blame Dave either, but it seems he is our only link to MP and this the only legit source of news on this matter.
It's almost like MP just disappeared after taking our $$$.
That is definitely not the way to do business ... at least have the courtesy to explain to us what the delay is.
I'm sure we will understand if the cause is reasonable.
And there are possibly some whose financial circumstance may changed and need to decide between choosing this or something else ...

The issue that gets to me the most is that I pre-ordered these figures because I was given the impression that they were in the final stages of production and they would be released in the spring or early summer. Unfortunately that was not the case, as it turned out that when pre-orders were open the Voltron was still pretty much a paper drawing, and not even finalized. If I had been told that from the get go, I may have opted for not pre-ordering/pre-paying in full. I know things take time to make, but blowing smoke up the customers' butts with insignificant updates and bogus release dates is not the way to go. Miracle Productions just needs to man-up and come clean with this. They owe it to their distributors like Dave who have to endure the brunt of the customer dissatisfaction, and they owe it to us paying customers even more so. Well, that's enough whining from me... I'm getting angry now. }|

I'm so glad that I canceled my pre-order back in August. It just didn't feel right.

Guy's I've been poking around the toysdaily thread and came across this. I've google translated some post and they seem to be saying he's going to come out in late Dec! Hope someone here can translate or knows someone who can.

A little ray of hope... thanks for the info. However, because of past letdowns, I trust what Miracle Productions puts out as much as I trust a stray dog to guard a plate full of freshly cooked bacon, placed next to it. Anyway, miracles do happen from time to time... }D

Speedy I dont think MP took any penny from you. in Hong Kong we pre-order with only 120HKD pre-paid. Its your dealer who took all your pre-paid money.

120HKD? That sounds way too low. Are you a dealer?

Hope someone here can translate or knows someone who can. To All Customer of Vehicle Voltron, Due to Designer having to make changes to suit customers taste and request, to make it a prefect piece, item will be pushed back to a 2012 Dec Release. Sorry for inconvinence. All pre-ordered or going order customers will receive a "night glow sword". Limited pcs.. While stock last..
