Yeah, this is pretty irritating. Especially considering that I paid their outrageous mark-up immediately after all of the usual suspects had sold out during that wild pre-order. Grumble....

Pretty honest review here. This thing is definitely no GX-71. I may even just cancel one of my orders.

Pretty honest review here. This thing is definitely no GX-71. I may even just cancel one of my orders. I cancelled my BBTS order a few days ago. For me it was more that this is a slippy slope, close to $400 for a figure (I recall balking at the price of the others I have and all below $300) that isn't as interesting to me a say daioja/golion/godsigma/ that is a product of its inherent design though, more 'unit stacking' than transforming. Still, he looks amazing and I will watch the video with interest. I think golion still spoils us as that really is a masterpiece, it feels more like jewelery than a toy! I'm also trying my darn hardest to minimize things generally......but that is another story.

Still waiting for mine too but for some reason I’m not anticipating for the arrival. It will come around no biggie.

Let's be honest. The GX-71 was where Bandai really put their heart and soul into. They seem to have waited just as long as us to hit this iron whilst hot. Still cannot wait to get mine however.

I've seen other reviews and they seemed to have no problem with their SOC GX-88 VEHICLE VOLTRON. There's been more positive reviews than negative. This is the only negative one, I seen. In regards to tight joints. That's expected with a brand new toy(Or item) when you first get it. Once you move the joints. They move a lot better. Those that want Gx-88 Vehicle Voltron. Get it. You be the judge. I for one can't wait to get mine.

It may not be, but still, its the best were going to get, and probably the last Vehicle Voltron we'll ever see from Bandai. The fact that Bandai even decided to released this was a surprise, since they didn't really have too. Having both the GX-71 and GX-88 finally after years of wishing, is in my opinion, superior.

Oh my god....Somebody get this guy some sativa caps and a CBD tincture pronto. His serotonin levels are completely depleted. He sounds like a combination of Debbie downer and Mr. Magoo. I couldn’t finish the review dudes bringing me down.

I think that this is a fair opinion vs. some of the auto defense mode stuff I'm reading here. For me in the end am I as "hyped" as I was previously? Not at all but the end game is having it on display with GX-71 and it really looks like it's going to do that just fine.

Here is where I stand on it. I feel like lion voltron should not be the direct comparison. Just from my experience, what I have read on the boards, it sounds like Lion voltron is possibly the best quality soc to date. I really think this should be directly compared to regular soc releases to see if it falls in the standard expected quality of of their line. Sure, I would hope they would maintain their level of quality, especially with an even higher price point, but I wonder if the lion version put expectations higher than they should had been. will keep my preorder at this point. If I find I can not be happy with it, I will sell it. It seems like this is one you will be able to get your money back on the second market if you must sell.

Wondering if somehow they're getting their release as part of releases outside of Asia countries... but yeah the wait is annoying as I wait like everyone else for it to show up

Hopefully all the bros get it soon and enjoy this release ...

Regardless of the negative feedback I saw in the video, I will still get this baby since this is the best voltron vehicle/dairugger toy in the modern toy engineering that I know of. We all have complains about everything we buy, it's natural in my opinion. We want everything to be perfect in exchange for our hard earned money, that's logic.. but we can't have them all. There will always be flaws here and there. What I'm not happy is that the price that I need to pay for this toy. Here in PH, I need to pay for about 531usd. what a price hike compared from other soc's..

That’s a lot of money for a figure sadly that’s what this has become a deep pocket hobby few can afford, I’ve seen a friend of mine using lots of CC to buy this things and get in trouble paying later ....
