So my GX-72B had a slight fall and the front pieces of the battle mask part came off. The right side tabs back in securely but the left does not. Just curious if these pieces securely click in or not meant to come off at all. I can probably add a bit of glue to keep the piece from coming off, but wondering if there is a better way. Basically the left part comes off if you even breathe on it too much.

I remember actually canceling my PO of this from amazon and waited until it was released. I bought it from eknightmedia when they put it up for around $260. I also got $8 rewards points from them to boot. Looking back, that seemed pretty risky considering the state were in now. I was just starting to collect TFs when news of this came out. Despite loving Voltron, I passed on this initially. I'm glad I came to my senses and also placed an order with eknight a few months before release. I was sweating it since it was after the PO guarantee date. Just happy I got it for the same price you paid. And now I have 2 additional SOCs with another PO'd (all MMPR)

At long last my Dragonzord arrived a few days ago. It took about 6 weeks when it left Japan via SAL. It was a loooong wait but it arrived. The shipping box had a hole in it but miraculously it was the side that had some newspaper padding on the inside. If it was the opposite side, it would've punctured the item box. Also lucky it arrived when it did because my friend literally just dropped of GX-78B that he got for me from SDCC. Won't get a chance to play with these for a little bit but just glad they're in hand.

A little late to the party but I finally got mine today. A friend picked it up for me at SDCC and I finally got it from him today. Great timing since the Dragonzord arrived earlier in the week. Unfortunately I won't have much time playing with them until next week I think.

Are they stumbling across one or two or these every other day? This is beyond aggravating. I would assume that someones payment didn't go through on the original batch or they lost their nerve and canceled. Happens all the time. Yup, that is likely the case. I have snagged a few preorders through random cancellations. I suspect you can get a GX-71 this way at this point, but unlikely given the high demand and probably low supply.

Only items with the seller listed as amazon.jp would be possible to ship to US, and it’s never free shipping to US, there will be a global shipping fee. They use DHL, which is lightening fast and cost less than one would think. Any other seller on amazon would not ship to US, and will require proxy service. My guess is amazon.jp has already sold their allotment and you can only buy from other sellers now. Occasionally, amazon.jp changes its policy on what items can be shipped outside Japan, but I haven’t heard about a change in policy with an item after listing began. Edit: just checked it is available through amazon.jp and it won’t ship to my address to US either. Perhaps they did change their policy on this particular item, or their international allotment for this item has been sold. Yea, I thought it was super strange that it didn't allow me to purchase another one when I literally ordered it a day ago. I made sure it was Amazon JP that was the seller. I think if EKnight offers it for about the same price, I'm going to switch my PO. The 1200 Yen shipping sounds too good to be true. Shipping for the Voltron minipla is double that and must be half the weight at least.

For those that ordered through Amazon JP: I tried ordering another and it says it won't ship to the US. Should I be concerned they won't ship the original order?

I preordered mine there earlier today. The price shipped is great, no money down and super fast shipping. What's not to love? I also went with Amazon JP. About $250 shipped to US, and can cancel up until January.

It's odd that the listing is gone. Curious if they'll fulfill the orders for anyone that placed it.

So mine shipped out of Japan on 8/2 via SAL and still no updates. Looks like most folks who went that option on this board already received it. At what point should I be worried?

Departed Japan 8/2. It said 2-3 weeks so that's why it should be any day now. I hope.... I didn't pay for faster shipping because I didn't really need it yet. I only ordered it because a friend got me the black GX-72 from SDCC. I skipped the regular release. I'm expecting that in a month so as long as GX-78 arrives by then. check you tracking, it's normally around 1 week after it arrives at US customs. I have, and it hasn't hit customs yet.

Did you pay for expedited shipping? I just checked, I went with ECO - SAL Registered. I'm guessing it should be any day now... No , I went with the same option you went for (the second to cheapest option) it took them around 10 days. Where are you located?

So my friend who attended SDCC and got this for me should be getting this to me in about a month. Hopefully I'll get my GX-78 before then!
