Holy snap back that box is ,...yeah I don't know how to say this with out swearing and no other words I can find describe or convey the emotion seeing that box gives me. It's like seeing The lion voltron for the first time when I was a kid. It was displayed at a local tot store in palm springs and it was the only one the had and I knew I had to get it because I had never seen one for sale before or after. I actually went home and raided my sister's piggy bank to get the rest of the money together which was about 100.00 and I got caught but not before I got the voltron. So I guess that box makes me feel like i would do anything to have it including stealing from my own family if I had to. Thank God I'm not 10 yrs old and broke. Guess I should by one for my nephew to make up for what I did 35 yrs ago..oh did I mention that Box Is Awesome $^@^ @#$% $@ $@@f$$$# @#$ Holy @%%& j@$- ch@%^

If this really is 1 of just a handful like you say then the price is worth it. You will never see another one. 19 in one I've never heard of it and if I had the chance I'd be 450 poorer. Even if it is broken with ed printing that is fixable . Nice find

I have a NAO robot that I bought a few years back as a learning tool for myself and my employees and family but due to issues with the robot itself we weren't able to do anything with it for 2 yrs so it just got shelved. Your video reminded me of the little guy and just wondered if you had anything that would work on it. I have seen that I can connect it to Watson but not being a programmer myself I need some help to do so. If anybody is willing to help me out let me know. The robot is pretty cool and it just sits in a box that s xolkexring dust in my garage and that is an expensive paperweight.

Tetsujin 28 is begging to be given the soc dx treatment. I can't think of any other robot that is deserving of the dx branding than Tetsujin 28. This robot is the granddaddy of the dx line and I don't know why it hasn't already happened. With the two wannabe Tetsuijin DX variants that just were released one more dx than the other it almost seems as if a figher was thrown in the ring waiting for a contender to come in and clean his clock. Time is ticking Bandai let's see that tetsujin 28 done the right way. I was in shock at the tetsujin 28 and black ox when I received it. I bite my lip btw I am selling the one I bought it's pretty lame if you asked me. More like a metal go how figure from when I was a kid than an soc but whatever so Bandai owes us the tetsujin that our imagination saw in the original.

Man I appreciate your review but I think that is what YouTube is for. Maybe I'm alone on this but shouldn't large reviews be linked to and separate from a forum post. There are a lot of reasons for this and why I said something. There are a groups of guys that do professional reviews and make a living or side business out of it . I just feel posting your review instead of doing what the reviewers do is kinda like hey look here me first me first. While the pros are spending time making videos for a professional review to be just slapped some pics and y our opinions on this website for free and I wonder how many people will not view any other reviews. Like I said just my opinion no hard feeling either I'm not stewing mad over it I'm just making an observation and putting myself In other people's shoes like the professional review guys and and stating what I see as being unfair to them. Personally I don't want to look through all the posts of your review to find the forum posts again so I actually turned left the page then realized I should say something..hoping this is helpful and not in anyway hurtful to anyone. My apologies in advance if anyone gets upset ah not really ..lol and if anyone is seriously upset come on we have Donald Trump in the white house who can do anything all day buy laugh

I had the same issue with my green lions tail not being tight enough. I tried to seat the pin back in place but after 3 attempts I threaded a screw into the swivel and it works great. I took my time taking the green lion apart. I slow wedged a small screwdriver that I filed it to be thin enough to slip between the glued section and was able to remove it without having to cut anything or cause damage .If you have this problem take your time or you could end up with a problem that is notvrepsirable

that mp version next to the soc looks like a drunken master as if each part is balanced on top of the next like a ball rolling and wobbling in place to keep from falling apart. i think ive seen that in a cartoon somewhere. anyway just a funny observation I made that mad me laugh

This is the modern lionbot and equally as lacking which makes it perfect for voltron collectors or guys with kids that have the soc but want their kid to be able to play with it. Yes they cost almost the same if you got lucky on the ordering if not the price seems right. My soc will spend it's time untouched but this I will transform and play with and not worry so much . One thing that can be done which will tighten up the joints is getting things rechromed or making machines aluminum legs for the red and green lions. I see more possibilities for this than the soc. Voltron wouldn't be voltron without the lionbot. I wish this had been called such

This thread is too awesome and important for nonsense and the never ended long quotes. Dont taint what has been a dream for a lot of us. I was only hopeful that bandai would ever redo golion and dairugger. Dairugger is a much more wanted piece for a lot of voltron collectors because it has been somewhat left out in the dust compared to its cousin and really has never been given enough credit due to the shadow it lives under. When Bandai did Golion I was given hope we may see dairugger then a post was made stating that bandai actually had a prototype in the works and the wait began for this thread to hit so please don't clutter it with nonsense and if someone says something negative about your post the best thing you could ever do is ignore and as Josh homme says smile and move on.
NOW
Onto why I am here Does anyone have confirmation about the Japanese release having a popy style box. I dont have time to dig through all the msgs to find out so if it has been stated already my apologies

Just ordered from eknightmedia. Almost 100 dollars less than the order I placed at Japan world because of the shipping. I dont know if I should cancel at Japan world or keep the order because of the possibility that there may be a poppy style box. If the boxes aren't different then I will cancel does anyone have a confirmation on that? Stoked to be getting this. Dairugger completes me

I have been a little worried witg all the talk about cuy orders which i do t understand and i paid in full for mine through a company ive never used so ive been stressing and did some digging and even spoke with the store owner or manager who assured me i would get mine on time and that the distributor just confirmed this to him. i cant tind anything bad about tge company all i have found has been positive and they seem to still have them available at japan world. sometimes these boards can stress a person out for no reason and sometimes they help i wont know until this is released for sure but the confirmation fro. japan world eased my mind. tge exact total to my doot in ca was 435.00 us. there may be cheaper shipping than 75 eu but thats what i paid for

i just picked one up at japan world shipped was around 430.00. i cant remember the exact price but thats pretty close shipped to the US. i was a bit confused with their pricing as it got cheaper and cheaper as i entered my address. before shipping it sat at 300 eu i opted for the fast shipping which was tge only option and once i wqs through wity paypal it was around 430 to my door in california

Who's complaining about the price again? This thing in reality could cost aot more. There must have been a tremendous amount of tooling that went into this and it is the best looking figure I think u have ever seen. 400 is well worth is considering what we paid for Dx mazinger and combattra which are a lot simpler to manufacture than a 15 piece beautiful combined. I am super impressed and can't wait for the real thing

what are you talking about ? you have the GX-71 and the KOB, it just CANT get any luxurious than these two you earn the serious collector rank if you have more than 25 figures lol
I was mostly kidding, Bro. A luxury knock-off?? It's getting harder to resist this thing, though. As for luxury Voltrons - I think these 2 qualify: Not sure I did the quote thing right but does this make someome a serious collector owning the Popy golion that was reproduced in 1997 by the guys that own the original molds and negatives for the box art. I've seen those sell for 2500 and up some guys own these and dont even know they weren't made in the 80s but have no fear even the guys that know they are made in 97 have no problem forking over 2500.00 for them. Imagine being able to buy a mint brand new popy golion as it was put on the shelf originally in the 80s. Perfect box, bright colors, mint toy, shiny pa8nt and chrome with only one way to know for sure if it is a reproduction and that is a secret between the guys that have these and being one of these guys I still would pay 2500.00 for one in the condition mine came in which was case fresh and why it is the only piece in my collection that is in a case. It is also the only Popy version I own that I will never sell because it is so damn perfect I don't even want to touch it. Serious collector status buying 6 of these looking for the perfect piece with the plan to sell off the others once you find the perfect specimen but keeping all of them anyway

I have to say how impressed I am with eknight media. Ì never heard of them before I ordered the soc voltron upon release and I received mine quicker than a lot of guys that preordered, the price was low and shipping was free and even though I had a bit of damage to the corner of the box the contents were fine and box was still able to be displayed and I was given a partial refund nothing huge but enough to cover the deposit on the second run and when I contacted them about using this toward the deposit Ì was worried they would say no but I was very happy to receive the email that it would go toward the deposit and my experience with them has been the best I have ever had with any company I've dealt With. Ì fully recommend them and I am not working with them i dony know them I am honestly super impressed with how they handle their customers and any issues and I have not one bad thing to say about them, awesome company I hope they stick around a long time we need companies like them in this business. Straight shooters that aren't out to make a killing off of the customers freaking love um go eknight

Man I feel a little duped I would have only bought the black version of this if I had the choice but I guess they know how to double their money, this black lion better be as good as the sic if not better or I may just paint mine black which should fix the loose joints
