Damn. Didn't notice that you can just preorder the spazer at Nippon Yasan. I already have SRC Grendy and don't really need the bundle. Oh well.

Just got it today, GX-31V (40th anniversary) from HLJ. Did not open it yet but on initial look the box is smaller than GX-31 or GX-31V. Got mine today (along with some other stuff)! w00t! No time to play with it right now, but dang Bandai cheaped out by not including the tray-id cover-sheet. Just that usual brown cover. Congrats! Mine should be here tomorrow.

Mine is 2015 and it came today. Great q.c. Question - I know the forearms rotate, but not the bicep? How do you do blazing sword then? Congrats! A question: $340 USD inc. shipping to Egypt is a good price for the 2015 ver. or expensive? Seems kind of high. Is it EMS at least? Most of us got ours at US $250 shipped but that's with airmail.

Saw that TMZ wrote "scumbag" and I remember how this was used to describe baronkarlo at the time. Haha!

Actually eBay/PayPal changed the protection period to 180 days from 45 days. So I guess just as long as your estimated receive date falls within this period you should be ok. Must have been a lot of sellers taking advantage of the old policy which caused eBay to update this.

Maybe it's baronkarlo again under a new eBay username. Remember him?

The legs extending is part of the transformation on all of them. Well, it's really part of the landing gear going down. I'm too lazy to dig out my Voltes' right now but I remember how I'd play with the mechanism. Having the legs extended would not hold up the weight of the figure unless they somehow made it tighter.

Is it me, or are the original and GX-31V not gone down in price? I may just pull the trigger on the 40th anniversary version, but I've been on the fence getting an earlier version. This is my first post, so pardon my newbiness. THEY WONT GO DOWN AS THEY ARE MORE COVETED THAN TEH NEW ONE. Yup! If this was a straight reissue then the older ones would probably go down in price. See it all the time with Bandai's Macross Frontier Valkyries.

what is the msrp for this 40th anniv version? MSRP says 23000 yen but I got mine at 21850 plus 2860 yen shipping. Nippon Yasan's current price (28,500) is with a significant markup. They do this with high demand items unfortunately. Once they are sold out of their allotted stock from Bandai they search local stores for stock and buy theirs. This is the reason for the price increases with them.

Nice! HLJ just shipped my Voltes! What? I haven't received the payment request e-mail from them but their e-mail system (in My account) says it has! Lucky you. Check your junk mail folder. If its not there send them an email saying you never received the payment request. They sent them out on Friday at around 11:55PM US Pacific Time with 3 days to pay before they cancel your order.

That's weird. Arcadia's Macross toys are available at our favorite Japanese retailers but Jeeg is not. Wonder why.
