Wonder when HLJ will be putting up their pre-order, want to combine with some other items in my Private Warehouse to save on shipping.

Glad you enjoy your GGG. "Not fully suited up" probably meant not having the Hammer and/or Star Parts yet. Not that you absolutely need them. Thanks! I have no intention of getting the overly inflated and over priced Star Parts set but do intend to pick up GoldyMarg down the road here. GX-71 Takes precedence at this point though and don't want Goldy unless a true deal as he isn't horribly necessary either.

Ugh and those fangs on the Lion head are sharp, almost pierced my palm when manhandling the Stealth Gao on, LoL!

nice, it's already filling a big chunk of your deloft and you didn't even suit it up fully yet. Hmmm, don't know what you mean by not fully suited out yet as he has everything on him according to the manual with the exception of Hell and Heaven fists and Dividing Driver attached which is going to be hard to do in the Detolf. My Great Mazinger DX is already almost scratching the top and GaoGaiGar isn't too far behind. I have never seen GaoGaiGar hold the Dividing Driver in any way but straight up. Gonna have to get creative for the Detolf.

BTW, my wrist mechanics where they spin down work wonderfully with no clunkiness. No defect as far as I can tell for now.

Yes, finally! Got the Stealth Gao on! Almost done. Will give it a good wipe down to clear all the finger prints and mold release oil and then take pics. I swear I just looked all over the box and no dents. Was wrapped in bubblewrap all over and in a very much larger box with filling. I was worried before I had opened the box as it was caved in a bit but the GaoGaiGar box was fine.

Yes, I am both reading the manual and watching the special video Bandai made. Except for the Stealth Gao, all went very well. Still working on the Stealth Gao. I have never seen a SoC with such tight joints and joinery. Load bearing though so I guess it needs it.

Ugh, getting the Stealth Gao on is proving to be impossible!

Was able to retrieve it and don't know what Mandrake was talking about a damaged box because the box is in perfect shape and the product was sealed as if brand new. I think someone in the warehouse messed up. The box and all contents look perfect. Pics soon.

This is my first time ordering a damaged box so I will be sure to post pics of it too and very soon I think from the tracking. It said on the item description box damaged but contents inspectcted for Quality Assurance so we'll see what that means shortly.

yes preorders were already posted weeks ago.. which im still undecided at that time. what more now that they already confirmed that it would lack diecast content. so im sure those who already preordered are disappointed. Yes, I am dissapointed, got the same e-mail from AmiAmi and now I am scared that they might cancel DA-35 Z Mazinger which would be a trajedy as I love the sculpt and don't care if it's all plastic. i have received 2 e-mails from AmiAmi claiming that it's been pushed back a month and I find this worrisome.

Don't hold off on GX-71. I repeat, DO NOT hold off on buying GX-71 Voltron/Golion when you can get it at retail price. You will regret this , I can guarantee it, as long as you are someone that appreciate well built gokin toys. I am not that big of a Voltron/Golion fan, but even I can't deny this release is among the top bests in this line. Simple straight forward combination with very sturdy structure and ease of handle. As great as GGG, there is still a couple areas that is annoying at times (like the multi jointed shoulders you have to fiddle with). GX-71 has none of that Yup. GX-71 will be one of those SOC releases that more likely will not devalue. Reviews alone speak for itself. Unless Bandai release a ton load of reissues.. which we are still uncertain. I do intend to pick it up in the next month, most likely domestically from either BBTS or Amazon.

I hope you get your one soon grayson! Thanks TJ. Looks awesome and I am glad you got your's as well. Mine will be here soon and I took a little time today to clear some space in the good old Detolf, gonna need to get another one(Detolf) very soon. Great collection you have brewing there! I will try and pick up GX-71 Voltron/GoLion soon. I am torn however as I never watched the classic Voltron cartoons but love the 2 seasons of the Netflix revival. It kinda makes me want to hold off on GX-71 as they are making a die cast version of the modern update which I am familiar with.

Mine just arrived, will open when I get home from work How do you post pics from Imgur to the boards? Sorry noob mode Congrats, sorry your box was all banged up though. Upload to Imgur then choose to edit the image. I like locking the screen ratio box and choosing by 1000 as that seems to be a decent enough sized pic for the boards but not too large either. You can also choose to automatically resize when uploading. After that go to your pics and click the one you want to use on the board, a list of links should appear to the right of the image and you want to copy the one that says it's the "Direct Link". When posting on the board just click the little add pic button and paste your link into the pop-up box.
