I just recently got one from Toyercity without much trouble. The red helicoptor has a very loose shoulder ratchet though, not sure if I should try to get it replaced.

Wow, a year and a half after I got mine from Toyfreakz and this is still going on. I actually read every single of the first 350 or so posts. But I mostly bowed out after mine came. Back when I got mine (oct 2013, see my last post here robotjapan.proboards.com/thread/19216/miracle-productions-diecast-vehicle-voltron?page=307)the assumption was the toyfreakz versions was supposed to be the 3rd version. But I'm still reading in the last couple of pages about 3rd vs. 2nd and all that. Did we ever verify whether the toyfreakz version was the 3rd version or not? I still think VV is a great toy and I'm glad we got it. It could be years if ever we get something similar from Bandai. It definitely feels like a 3rd party, but I buy tons of 3rd party transformers, for higher prices than takara-tomy, so I know what I'm getting in to. It's kind of similar quality to b-grade 3rd parties (x-transbots, impossible toys) only metal instead of plastic. I am surprised the price hasn't shot up yet. For how unique and pretty good (80/100 for a 2nd or 3rd version) and great for posing, and limited run, I'm surprised it's not up to 500$ on e-bay now. Of course being I could get it for 230 off e-bay now makes me wish I didn't pay the 285, but whatever. 285 is actually a completely fair price, quality included, given I paid 399 for maketoys utopia. |

Hey guys. Been away from the boards for a while. Just had a question for those who ordered from Toyercity. I ordered and paid on 12/31, but still no status updates on my order. Just sent them a message, but while I wait for a reply I was wondering how long you guys waited to have your's sent out from them. Thanks!

If so, how long was the total time from order to deliver for you? I just placed an order yesterday and am trying to figure out how long I should expect to wait for delivery. |

I'm only sporadically on here these days, so I just saw your question. Yeah, I did get my order from ToyerCity. After no activity on my order for a couple of weeks, I shot out an email. They replied pretty quickly. They apologized and said the item was on backorder, but that they were expecting more within the next couple days. Sure enough, a day later they updated my order, sent it out along with a tracking #, and I received it about 2 weeks later. Other than the backorder delay I thought the shipping from HK to here (US) was fairly quick. |

I bought from Toyercity. They are good, shipped very fast.
Is there any reason why the golion thread is still locked?

got this today. i love it more for the fact thats its a huge metal vehicle voltron, which I have wanted since I was a child.
but not really in love with its quality or usability.
its in its shelf in my detolf, posed and probably never will play with it again. it feels loose and incomplete. transformation was a pain in the butt too.
it looks really. nice though.

Anybody hear anything about Miracle Productions next project, or if there is a next project? Last I heard the space ship, Ramrod(Bismarck in the Japanese series), from SaberRider was being considered.
