Hendra says it's BIN price is JpY13,000. That's approximately PhP7,000, to PhP7,500. Give or take PhP10,000 including shipping fees for a 1.6kg item coming from Japan....

Voltes V is not something that I remember from TV in Australia so pardon my ingnorance when it comes to certain things like this and while to me it looks a little more like a big white duck than a Falcon do LIKE IT. ;D But what the hell is purachikku

wow! hope we can get them here in the US. You can if you are willing to pay commission to a 3rd party like RinkyaThey charge $28 commission plus $15 shipping from the seller to Rinkya. You still need to pay for the shipping from Rinkya to your US address. Shipping cost is the actual shipping plus 25%. The price of the Falcon in US Dollar is $117. There are other 3rd parties like Rinkya. Jigsco is one of them.

I spoke with Greattoys about this nifty item, they say it is indeed a December release. They expect their selling price to be roughly $80-90. Hope it doesn't go any higher I wonder if the company producing it is making it a bit non-anime accurate for the sake of copyrights(this isn't a Bandai official product I think)? Gold

If Greattoys will be selling this then its good news. I think it might be cheaper just buying from them and pay the shipping than going through Rinkya.

Gold I don't think it's official but made in Japan. Personally, I would like to see the WHOLE Big Falcon, not just the hangar, anime accurate with all its built in weapons. I am sure there would be a lot of interest for that. May be we should petition to Bandai.

I would love to see a second party make all the bases from the well known Super Robot shows. I'm dieing for a base for Grendizer, probably the second version since the first one would be huge, waterfall and all.

Haha, thanks Watari....yer that would be my guess as well and thanks for answering what look like a bit of dumb question. Purachikku is just such a warped looking word I had to ask;D

May be we should petition to Bandai. I seriously doubt that. Voltes V fans are a passionate and vocal, but relatively small community. Probably not big enough to make the production of Voltes V playsets or even villains profitable.
