Wow Baron, thats just nuts. I feel the US postal service has become more and more unreliable, while their price continues to increase.

We did get some significant amounts of snow, although minor compared to you guys. I feel comforted that I'm not the only one with delays. Almost felt nervous that my package was lost in Neverland. Thanks for your input Mr. Ginrai.

Hi guys, I live on the east coast, New York.
I recently purchased something from Mandarake.
They sent me a shipping notification that stated item shipped via EMS and left Osaka Japan.
That was over a week ago, and I still haven't received my package.
Usually, I receive EMS shipments within 3 or 4 business days.
Anyone else experiencing delays?

Considering what sort of "combiner" Dancouga is, I'm unwilling to believe it wouldn't be a combiner until we see official photos. Besides, there's some details on the toy that wouldn't make sense unless some sort of transformation was involved. Google translator sucks, but it looks like Sen-Ti-Nel is stating that Dancougar is pre-combined, not a combiner. Link: ameblo.jp/sen-ti-nel-info/entry-11979823348.htmlTo clarify what is actually written on the description in that link, it does state "4 machines combine to form the large Metamorforce Dancouga." It also states they will display all 4 modes, (combined mode, normal mode, humanoid mode, & aggressive mode) at their booth during Wonderfest. This is definitely a combiner.

Any updates from those who got a V5 notice from BBTS? Was it an error? I received my 40th Voltes from BBTS today. it was legit. The Voltes box was sealed, but double taped on both ends. It was clearly opened once, however the toy seems to be mint.

I received notice from BBTS that mine shipped. (I doubt I'm the only customer to have Voltes shipped) Sceduled delivery date is this coming Thursday, so I'll let everyone know if what they send me is, Voltes 40th. Strangely, BBTS doesnt have Mazinger 40th or Aphrodite 40th in stock (eventhough those were released last month?). But they are sending me Voltes, ahead of schedule?
Again, I'm not believing until I receive it.

whats strange is, I also have Gaogaigar GX68 on pre order as well. and eventhough GGG was released before Voltes V 40th, the Voltes arrived in stock first? my order status for Voltes says "pending" credit card processing. So I wont believe anything until I receive the confirmation that its been shipped.

For those of you that have the "loose crotch" on your GX31V Voltes, did it become loose due to play? Or were they loose fresh out of the box? Im only asking since I currently have the same issue with mine, but I purchased mine used. Wasnt sure if it came that way new.

I've never bought any of the chogokin books, but Im hoping there are photos of the actual gokins? or even sketches or thought concepts/ behind the scenes stuff on how these came to life. That would be cool.

just bought an awesome figure (SOC tetsujin 28 GX44) from my great friend Lejam! great service and communication is top notch.
I definitely recommend buying from him.
Thanks again Lejam!

Could just be mine but, I found that by not notching the foot at all, locking it in place has helped tremendously. I have mine in a neutral standing pose too, and it never tilts forward, ever. unless you shake the hell out of the display shelf that is.

Hi Guys,
I know that the GX-31V was very tight (fixed the loose hips/anxles of the original GX-31) but mine is becoming a little loose especially on the neck joint. The hips are a little loose as well, and I don't play with my figures. Is there any ways to tighten the hip joints? (Tried tightening the screws inside the ball joints above thighs, but didn't work)
Also, I know there is a magnetic connector where the neck connects to the body. Any ways to strengthen this area? The head seems to droop behind the body, always making Voltes tilt its head upward.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Damn this really sucks! I am sorry this happened to you.
Recently, I purchased a Zambot 3 off Ebay. However, when I received it, the entire box, including ALL contents smelled like cigarettes. It was as if the thing grew inside a tobacco plant, no joke, unbearable.
So, I opened a claim through Ebay, seller offered a full refund, but said I had to pay for return shipping. (Shipping cost $30 USD) So I tried to continue disputing, communicating through Ebay and not the seller.
The end result? Ebay ruled a full refund with me having to pay for return shipping. So technically, I paid $30 just so I can have a bad experience.
I know my case is not the same, but I feel if you continue to dispute this, Ebay will close the case with you having to return the item (At your cost), for a full refund.

I received the same BBTS message and was bumbed so I emailed them. They replied stating for those who pre-ordered say 5 Voltes' may be allowed only one, due to the "limited quantities" released. However, those who pre-ordered only one, will not be affected. Ok cool,and for thos eof you looking Anime Export has had a GX-50 just waiting to be snatched up...275$ last week they had one cheaper! For $275, it is a steal! I can't believe no one has snatched it up yet. I'd get it myself if I didn't already own one. Now, to find a GX-31V for a decent price.....there's a real challenge.
