Well that's the thing WEP owns the complete rights to Golion and Dairugger which obviously they developed the two Voltron series from so it doesn't matter if you want to make a Voltron, Dairugger, or Golion you have to go through WEP. I honestly see this as MP drawing hype to get the project started found out its a lot tougher to try and make a SOC level toy and now are so deep in it they can't back out and have invested to much not to finish the product and have so many eyes on them now it better be close to perfect. I don't mind the wait as long as the final product was worth it. I don't really mind waiting either. Its just I have a feeling it wont live up to the hype. XD I do think its coming out very soon though. There are way to many channels involved now for MP to just flake out without a reasonable explanation. Does this mean the final product will be flawed? Perhaps... But I would hope they had a good deal of the bugs worked out before taking all the preorders in asia. If not then they will have to be the biggest joke in toys for 2012. While were on the idea of it though... why is it so hard to make a face stylized after the original toys? I mean Dairugger and GoLion basically had the same face sculpt. But the MP Voltron from toynami had a odd stylized face that was much skinnier than the original toys and MP's Vehicle Voltron appears to be alot more stocky and undefined compared to the original toys. So why is it no one can really nail the look of the old face? Are they afraid of getting sued by bandai or what?

I suspect that costs are coming in higher than expected. To get some margins back, I'd expect a price increase, which could be easily supported with a killer product.

Unfortunately no. 1. The DX Mazinger Z has been released in Asia. 2. The DX Mazinger Z Jet Scrander set is available for pre-order (for a May 2013 release) 3. The Vehicle Voltron we all prepaid for is, well, who knows where it is?

Well I was talking with David and he got to talk with the MP reps Friday. They basically told him everything is good to go and Voltron is shipping very, very soon. He is expecting a production piece any day now and is expecting the first shipments to be ready within weeks. I also asked about the "nite glow sword" that was mentioned a few pages back on that notice MP posted on a display case. He emailed MP about it and will get back to me when he knows more. ![:D](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/grin.png) Crossing my fingers for Zoro Voltron. XD

So its def sounding like an early Jan release then. Atleast for us in the U.S. Can't wait to see the final product. Its been a long road but I think their might just be alight at the end of the tunnel. Lets hope whats at the end was worth the trip.

The only thing I believe from them is the updated price, but the release date is still anybody's guess.
