I am finally going to get my Voltes V. I can't believe that I have waited this long because most places are out of them. And plus, they are more expensive now (I got mine for $175 + $15 shipping). Man, I remember when bigbadtoystore.com was selling it for less than $140. Oh well, at least I still have the "anticipation" feeling. Which in some ways is the best part of the whole collecting experience.
The waiting can be an exciting feeling. You know... The not knowing what to expect sensation. And once I get my SOC, I just stare at the box for a long time. I used to not open and assemble my robots for a very long time (months sometimes). I am not like that anymore. Since I got my glass case, I have been opening them immediately. But still, I keep them in the box for a couple of days to keep the anticipation going....

What happened? To whom did you order from? Did you only order one? I feel really bad about your experience. One thing though.... You must have paid less than me.

It was turned back by Canadian Customs too the seller and was sent by surface too. I paid $165 with shipping included for one but had to pay another $27.00 to have the thing re-shipped. The seller was lotte6818 and has actualy been very good with me, although I had to mention that I was a Admin at a toy website to get some real action.

Hi Chen. I don't mean to gloat but I just got my GX-31 today. Wow, it's nice and heavy. The new box/toy smell is heavenly.
I will not assemble it until I finish with the grant that I am writing--it's due on October 16th (this will be my celebration). I hope that I can wait that long!
