Goodluck! BBTS I think sold him for like $380 USD even I a big fan don't think its worth that much but yeah goodluck, that would be my next figure that I'm looking forward too Thanks! As an American I grew up on Wing, so I really want it, but I’d just go without it if I can’t find one reasonably close to MSRP - I’d rather just put the money toward a Prime 1 statue at that point. Hopefully being in Japan for the next year or so will help my chances, though I didn’t see a Qanta anywhere the day it was released... you pretty much need to preorder these things here too. Goodluck bro! Yes, I'm a huge wing fan - first gundam series I've watched! I was also in Japan last year 2 days before the release of SOC Golion/Voltron and man, you really have to pre-order stuff or else you will missed out. A retailer sold one, 2 days before the release for 36K yen, which I automatically got (first RJ board to own SOC Voltron, hehehehe) SRP was 32K. Glad I got him because he is now selling for 55K - 65K ouch! I'm sure you will find one, but don't expect to be retail price, unfortunately, MB and this GFFMC Wing Zero are like Hot Cakes, everyone wants them Wish you all the best!

Snagged one for 27,000 yen on Amazon.jp! Hopefully it actually ships. Got the Astraea ordered on P-Bandai, so now I just have to hope I can get a WZC without too extreme of a markup after its release. Goodluck!

Thank you for sharing my sentiment about Mattel Voltron! Finally someone agrees with me on this! LOL. All Mattel Voltron gets is hate all the time, but it's a really fun figure (that looks NOTHING like the Toynami MP)! Doesnt look that bad mate..it looks pretty cool.. Just needed more pics of the combined mode..that speaker on the ab section is killing me..hahaha

Cancelled my previous PO and went with CDJapan. Since it’s the cheapest I’ve seen it aside from NY although they make it back through shipping. One thing though is I paid through PayPal which I thought was a billing agreement but looks like I paid for it up front. Well, I was going to pay for it anyway in about two weeks so I guess it’s ok. Came out to ¥55,850 which at current exchange rates is $509.24 US. That is a good price man - 54,500 on me including shipping! I just like NY because they can undervalue and so that I don't get hit by tax

Basically 4 ppl from DM have been detained on charges of copyright infringement. Nothing about verdict or sentence yet, but in the mainland 99% of arrests and cases are slam dunks. Damn, that is some serious shady sh!t man! We'll they did infringe and slamdunk means - they going to prison right? There is also talks of Icarus claiming Voltron license but WEP are denying they are associated with Icarus - damn, really dodgy and not worth it

Shipping is much cheaper from CDJapan - 5600 yen compared to 8,000 yen to NY - then again I heard NY charges more on shipping compared to other retailers

^ Looking good man! I won't get mine until later this week. So with all of the newly added moving parts does this guy still feel as solid as the other metal builds? He is pretty solid, especially in the leg area, joints are quite tight! They choose a darker blue and matte finish on him, I'm looking at my Raiser and Destiny who have abit of a shiny finish. In regards to the moving parts on the sword bits - they don't snap so easily, so just be careful when you remove them and just check the manual. The removable body parts - I'll say not too tight not too loose, you just have to pull them and they pop off. When I got him out of the box the left heel and calf were not connected. Just be careful and mindful of the small pieces, I think there are four of them for full quantum burst mode that you don't misplace them.

I would've love to get GGG and Golion, oh well!
Weird that a Getter is taking a back seat.
I'm OK with Seed Destiny , 00 Gundam and Unicorn to take a back seat as well - especially Seed Destiny, never taken a back seat since joining SRW.
Happy to see F91
That Hi-Nu sprite! Incredible!
Wow! Wing Zero's animation looked really good, I was quite dissapointed with Z3 but there is hope especially seeing Heavyarms at the end with that clown mask shown at the left bottom hand of the screen. That Heero cut in is incredible!
Will be getting it for sure!

awwwww! How come? You missed out on the JP based retailers? Yeah, victim of the eternally loading shopping cart and then out of stock when finally getting to the payment page. Let me guess?...Nippon? I was also on the same boat but already had one at HLJ. Hope you get him soon His got a lot of gimmicks, but don't have much time to play around. I do highly recommend to READ THE MANUAL when you remove and put back bits and pieces (sword bits) - you don't want to break anything
