Not sure how true but I just read that there will be 2 versions of this toy. Regular and Luxury editions. No idea on the differences yet.

This type of argument comes up all the time in statue collecting circles. Recasting statues to resell, and whether it’s wrong to recast an unlicensed “custom” run of a statue. Essentially, is wrong to steal from a thief? On one side, people say stealing is wrong, so yes it’s wrong to recast (reproduce/bootleg) an unlicensed piece, but that leaves in the moral quandary of why you support (because everyone does) the unlicensed piece is in the first place, which constitutes IP theft. People say “at least there’s art and talent that goes into it” which is dandy argument but has nothing to do with the moral question of stealing.
On the other side is the case that you can’t steal something that someone wasn’t entitled to own in the first place. If I steal a car from a dealership and then my friend steals the car from me, have I been wronged?
These are interesting cases that really press us to divulge our true motives here, and ultimately it turns out that whatever side you’re on, collectors collect, and morals don’t really factor into it except where they find it convenient, unintentionally ba$t*rdizing the concept of morality altogether.
In my view, if you support unlicensed work of any nature, this kind of thing does not fall far at all from the same poisoned tree. Doesn’t mean you have to like it or support it, but it does mean it’s illogical to get your panties in a twist over it; people in glasses houses throwing stones.

Okay, I've got tons of Voltrons - but I haven't got a LUXURY VOLTRON! Can I truly call myself a serious collector if there is such an item, and I am without??

Sometimes just takes 3-4 weeks to get here when they get it in stock since they are in china. Otherwise I've had no issues with them on instock items or pre-orders.

I was mostly kidding, Bro. A luxury knock-off?? It's getting harder to resist this thing, though. As for luxury Voltrons - I think these 2 qualify:
