I once had a mint in box godaikin voltes v that I bought through ebay from a guy in China. I had already bought from but him before but this time I spent big money with him outside of ebay and it never showed up. I even contacted him and his response was that he didnt I sure it and he could get in trouble now because he did something shady to get it through customs cheaper and that I could forget about it so Haha. So dont feel bad it happens to us all at one point or another especially when dealing over Seas

If this does well I am sure Bandai will be not far behind but my concern would be if it didnt have good sales numbers that bandai would pass on giving us what we want. I'm torn as to purchasing this as I am already selling off stuff due to my newborn being in the NICU so i want this as bad as i wanted voltron but I'm hoping if i pass this one up that bandai will have an soc for me when things turn around for me..all that diecast is sick sick sick and I've never seen anything with so much diecast especially where it is so detailed.real cool and I wonder if bandai would put as much metal in theirs. I doubt they will do more metal but that alone makes me not want to pass this up in hopes bandai will have at least the same diecast. Man I'm torn but having a sick newborn means it all goes ,well almost all,then I can buy this.!!Toys for sale! get your red hot toys for sale!

No one a saw this coming!! This has been the one and only time I didn't buy a voltron that I thought I wanted but past dealings with this manufacturer kept me from ever giving them a dime.

I feel like screaming aftet hearing what my son's grandfather did. First off the grandfather has some competition thing going with me and whenever I buy my son a toy he goes and gets the better version or more expensive one and this has been going on for eight yrs but this takes the cake and I don't know if the guy even knows what he did. He's a gruff tough guy type that calls himself the alpha male, has a potty mouth and puts everyone down and thinks his way goes and if your not doing things his way then your N idiot and less than. So with that in mind my son tells me his grandfather bought him a golion.he said it has golion on the box and he bought it for around a hundred bucks. So I start questioning did it have missles on cards yes,brand new unopened yes, was it like the ones I have , yes did it look like this and I pointed to a Godaikin box and he said "Yes but grandpa used the box to make a ramp for my finger boards". My heart sank and I couldn't think I spent another ten minutes looking at photos with my son because I had seen it on the shelf but at distance but I thought it was just a lionbot but after feeling sick to my stomach and hearing that it didn't say lionbot it just said golion and it didn't say let's go lions like the lionbot box and over and over making sure it was the Godaikin box and not a lionbot box I had to accept that his grandfather scored a Godaikin golion in like new condition at an unbelieveBle price the kind of price that makes you cringe hearing someone got so lucky and it had sealed weapons but he didn't care whether it was collectable or not and cut the box up and used it to make a ramp for my son to gouge his finger skateboard wheels into every day until it was recognisable. I don't think he did this to mess with me he just has way of getting under my skin without even trying almost like a curse. Arrrggghhhh....one day

I have quite a few early lionbots with chrome joints that display just as well and my most prized piece is actually a lionbot where a sticker saying lionbot covered over the Chinese lettering on the front of the box. I peeled it off and was floored to see the script. So cool still gives me the butterflies thinking about how cool that was. In some lionbots You can see where Bandai has been machined out of the mold. The new lionbots on eBay I do not like but I get more excited over a Chrome elbow lionbot with carded weapons than I do a popy. I only need one lionbot whicj is the king lion box version . I haven't been able to find one in 20 yrs of collecting that was in mint condition because I have only ever seen two for sale, one was selling for twenty thousand dollars and the other was pretty thrashed with badly mangled box.

I noticed something today which goes in line with my thinking. I had bought a couple figurines I don't know what they are called anime female with swords and tops that pop off and the stand although pink was identical to the blue plastic connector stands that come with the fantasy jewel lion. The only difference is they are pink and have the words Bandai on them. I've been thinking that Bandai has been secretly behind the lionbots and now the fantasy jewel, I'm most convinced. Why hasn't lionbot been sued or shut down. It's as if they have a free pass but mad toys which is it's own design has had all sorts of licensing issues. Now this fantasy jewel comes out with a near perfect clone of the six golion and not a problem at all with Bandai or wep. Seems to me this Is how Bandai is getting their toy to market when maybe they legally can't do it themselves. Does Bandai have a specific facility for making these toys or did weng jai manufacture the golions. Are they tye same copmpany that does the lionbot. It just seems to soon and too good for it not to be closely related

Haha,I thought I was the only one that got tri ed everytime ups shows up. Sometimes I have to send the packages to my parents house and even my mother is up my rear now. If I don't tell them what's in the box or I say it's business stuff a couple days later I get asked what was in the box the other day was it another Voltron, No it was Combattler totally different and my wife bought it for me so n eener n eener. I guess I'm not allowed to enjoy life or the money I earn oh well wonder when we're gonna get something to blow our minds, I think I will start saving because I feel the ultimate DX is in the works

Man I would,just to be on the safe side, open the leg cover and fold the leg out and use a small flathead to lift on of the metal clips that holds the leg/arm post in. You shouldn't have to do both sides,one side should do . Once the clip is not longer pinching the grey tail the lion should slide out easy, if not then rotate the lion 180 degrees and repeat the procedure. With both clips oit of the way the lion should practicallu fall out and if it doenst them you gotz other problems like super glue or magic spells cast on voltron in the days of old

I have been building high end replicas of a few well known Exotic cars but in twenty years I have never advertised my products as a licensed not have i used any of tgeir name or emblems or called my car a replica of theirs. I see no reason to call this a voltron if it ain't licensed..We all know what it is and don't need it to be called voltron or licensed to enjoy it if it's good. Look at lionbot hell this should and could have been called a lionbot and non of this b.s. would be happening. They look shady at best as a company and all of this speculation and debate wouldn't be happening. Personally I think it is wrong to use the voltron NAME but worse is saying they have a license and branded their product as legit. That is deceptive and wrong and it means we the consumer are being lied to.my thought it was kind if person would have the nads to outright lie to their consumers like this. I literally get stuck at how I feel about how wrong this is and what should be done. Should everyone boycott them and demand refunds yes and no. We know that no refunds will be given but no-one should purchase their product if they continue to brand them S licensed voltron when they are not.from what I've read it is clear they are not licensed and this is not some misunderstanding. It is a deliberate attempt to mislead the public into believing this is Voltron when it's not. The name on the package swayed not one person that purchased it but it certainly made others pass on it that may have purchased it if it was called king lion or something else. So lying to us has cost them sales which they would have made if they had done things honestly.

I have to call full on B.S. in this. No matter how you soon it no one should have to buy another unit to repair a small piece of one they just received brand new and broke because of the toy being difficult to transform in the very delicate of an area. If Bandai doesn't do something to fix this I'm going to be very offended and turned off by them and may just sell off my entire collection once and for all because I will no longer feel the need to continue collecting if we get treated this way. I have a nice Godaikin collection and voltron and soc's galore but there are a lot I don't have and other than voltron I will probably forget about everything else they dangle in front of me to get a huge chunk of very hard earned money that I will no longer put in there pockets if they don't appreciate t here customers for the hard work we all have to put I to be able to afford such expensive dust collectors. I'm dead serious too. I love Bandai products but I will not support a company that treats their customers like they could care less about them.
Sorry to rant but I am genuinely angry about this and hope Bandai mans up here and anytime something like this happens. Seriously disappointed right now with BANDAI and the company that sold this

I received mine yesterday. I ordered it 5 days ago from HLJ so I am impressed with how fast it got here. The figure is Well it's Combattler same as it ever was just bigger,and stronger with a few improvements from previous versions but I am not loving it like I did the Golion. I don't know why Bandai keeps making Combattler without improving poseability . The sound gimmick is something I would rather not have and if it's a choice of better poseability or sound effects then lose the noise. I really wanted this to be as poseable as Golion and for 600.00 shipped it should have been able to kick voltron in the face and hold that pose without a stand. That being said, I knew this already as i waited to see reviews before I bought it so when my wife offered to get it for a late bday gift I was happy to let her buy it for me. I have to think Bandai is trying to recapture the feel of the original by keeping it rigid the way the Godaikin were made in the beginning and the way we all envisioned robots would move way back when. I believe Combattler was the first Godaikin with the first issue being in 79?? I am not sure about that so please chime in if you know the correct history here. Combattler has been the only Godaikin I haven't been able to get my hands on from the main ten which I keep my Godaikin collection at. I have the soc versions but I have never found a good enough piece for my collection. The only time one came up that was like new in box, I didn't have the funds so my hunt for a perfect Combattler will go on and in the mean time Bandai will satisfy my hunger for the golden Godaikin with different versions of it. Speaking of that I do have a gx50 available if anyone is looking. I bought 2 when they came out and only displayed one of them.
Btw I do love it. It is huge and awesome and exactly what I expected. No disappointment here as Combattler wouldn't be Combattler if it could hold dynamic poses

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s pushed back to early next year. However, the mold is finished. They are just repainting it. So let’s hope it’s out soon. Why is the mold being finished an issue for the release? Isn't it only a color change which has nothing to do with the molds. If the molds being finished is true then why did the mold need to be redone. Is there a new design altogether or subtle changes upgrades or just more stalling. I hope it is true and they release something to retake the throne they once held

Looks to me like someone made a sticker to make this appear to be first run but There are some pretty good indications this is not first run. I Put my money in thos being a set that was made more recently and someone replaced the heads with a set of yellowed heads keeping the best bits for their personal display then selling it. Id like to see real good pics of the box and Lions and the top of the joints on the red and green. The very first run There is no doubt when you have one of them. I will Look at my collection tomorrow and have a dedinite answer about the labels. The very first run cello is plain at the top lettering and has colors where the Lions are numbered red green etc. I believe I posted about this a while back. I have a set that is so mint It's insane but one lion has the rear inner leg unchromed and came with an upside down star. The very first version has a gold label in the left too corner instead of silver has sehmented tails and many more differences that were changed in production runs

there is a piece inside the joint you need to push out then pull apart, the body is probably stuck together because there are pins inside that push into a hole and getstuck from the paint, you should be able to shim a wedge in between the body parts to slowly spread them apart, use a plastic spreader or guitar pick to slip in the seam don't use metal

So quick update guy tells me today that no new units in the mail today so he will send a full refund when he gets home tonight so i guess he has a job outside of whay sounds like a pretty serious,home,based business, needless to say its almost midnighy in california and absolutely not one penny has been refunded and he has not a single item up for sale now on ebay, did anyone else try their luck? Oh he did say he will contact me as soon as more come in , the best part is somehow my credit card was repeatedly charged for the voltron 4 times with 4 different transactiin numbers and thankfully fraud protection caught it but seriously im trying to figure out what his hustle is and how it works is it a low dollar cut and run that pops up every six months or well anyway due to my sisters positiom at the doj everything i do is highly monitored so is everything he is doing now ill get my money back but he wont get his privacy back at least not for a long time, and im actually not kidding, sometimes it bugs me that my privacy has to be compromised but right now i love it
