It looks like Megazord cannot hold the sword very well? The sword slides to the end of handle. I'd like the Megazord to hold the sword in the middle of the sword handle.

I had my eye on the original one when it was released. It was available on HLJ for a while. I didn't pull the trigger at that time because HLJ seemed have a lot of stock and I was waiting for a sale from HLJ for this one. But one day, it suddenly showed not available on HLJ's page. I really like the design (especially the wing) and really want to own one despite the high price, so I pre-ordered one at BBTS. I'm waiting for it to arrive. Hopefully it's worth it. At 339.99 USD, it's the most expensive figure that I've ever bought.
I think I'll pass the chrome one because so far, all chrome finish figures are highly likely to oxidize, and not too mention the chrome finish is a fingerprint magnet.

It looks a little sparse on detail, but I'll wait for official images before judging. On a mostly unrelated note, I opened up the Riobot Mazinkaiser yesterday, and this thing is gorgeous. I didn't think I'd ever get one because Sentinel priced it beyond what I was willing to pay, but I was lucky to find a preowned one on AmiAmi for something like 24000 yen before shipping. wow nice! how is the grade of the riobot mazinkasier you bought? how's the item condition?

Someone on other forums said quality wise, japanese version > US version > HK version. Is it true? I thought there is no difference between different versions.

HLJ does the same thing, they throw the items in a box that fits with no padding around it. Whatever space is left is filled with those air cushion things. Both my GX-71 and MB Blue Frame came with dinged corners. Exactly the same here. My GX 71, mb blue frame, VF-31j all have some small dinged corners.

You know you are very lucky to be charged $46 for these 3!! Last time I was charged $38 just for Transformers MP-22! =( Yeah I'm lucky that I'm in Alberta, 5% tax. Are you in Ontario that charges 14% tax?

I got mine SOC Voltron + Metal Build Blue Frame + DX Chogokin VF-31J from HLJ today. I was charged with $46 Canadian dollars for import tax. HLJ packed well but all 3 boxes have some minor damages. The damages do not look like from shipping. Well I used to be super picky about the box but now I'm getting use to the box damages. By the way, the voltron box is heavy, while the box for mb blue frame is very light...

Got one from HLJ, then got another one from Woozymoo (I think it should come with the sleeve), so I can have both boxarts, and can display Voltron in both robot and lion mode. My wallet says ouch.

$70 to ship to canada from kirin hobby. Ouch! I ended up ordered from Woozy Moo. But it went to out of stock right after my order. Should I be worried that they cannot fulfill my order? I received order confirmation and can see the order under my account.

Just want to confirm, the one Woozymoo is selling comes with the sleeve right?

Is there any member from Canada can give me some advice? I have 3 items in hlj. Total value is 64000 yen. I have 2 shipping choices: EMS or sal (fedex is out of the question because of the high import tax). For EMS and SAL, do they charge the same amount of import tax? And what's the probability that I won't be charged for import tax?

Does HLJ offer sal shipping? Yup. SAL is 5100-yen. You'll be better off with either FedEx or EMS... Thanks! I want to avoid FedEx EMS because Canada custom charges crazy import tax. I can avoid the tax using sal, buy sal is even experience than FedEx or EMS.

Thanks! I purchased one and they told me it's a system error to list the strike freedom as in stock. They refunded me right away though.

I'm kind of in panic mode right now. I pre-ordered the MB destiny full package from nin-nin game back in Feb (paid immediately via PayPal). I emailed them asking for shipment date in the beginning of Nov (when Nippon yasan began to ship it). They told me it would be shipped at the end of Nov. It's December already and it's still not shipped. I sent them another message asking for the shipment and have received no reply from them so far. What's your guys' experience with nin-nin game?

By the time I saw the updates, stock was gone already. you can follow any thread by going to the upper right of the first post, you will see a [ACTION} button. click on the [V] and select bookmark. now you just have to set how you want to get notified. at the top of any page click on Profile on the right you should see [edit profile] click on it. go to your notification , then scroll down to bookmark. make sure there's a check mark and on the right of it is your option on how fast you will get notified when someone updates a post. select [instant] with that you should be set. Doneļ¼ Thank you again!
