ToyerCity has just updated their website: Also their price went up $20 $259.99 to $279.99 shipped price ICK! To be fair I suppose Dave did say to expect the first shipments "within weeks". Sigh... I wish they would freaking get their information strait and give us a actual answer instead of leading us around like sheep.

ToyerCity is based in HK, right? They wouldn't get an overseas shipment delay like Toyfreakz would get. A possible explanation for this discrepancy is that ToyFreakz is first on the list for shipments.

That could be, depending on how many they produce per batch? I'm not familiar with how the process works, but I don't think they would wait until the very last figure is made to start rolling them out. Or maybe they would?... who knows! }D

Agreed. We're sick of "its coming soon!" "in the coming weeks" if they can't give us a concrete date then don't say anything at all.

Keep in mind he was the only one to offer concrete preorders for months. This may be why Toyercity got handed down the February date yet Dave is expecting them any day. Because toyercity is not expecting to get their orders until after Dave's is filled, which given the pace MP operates seems to be about right. I think I am gonna see what Dave says after he gets the production run figure before I make any assumptions.

What, you guys haven't received it yet?! I got mine yesterday. Its the invisible variant, or also known as "Vehicle Voltron Clarity!" I nearly tripped over it coming in the house. Lucky it had a postal label on it so I could see it...kinda, or my size 12 would have crushed it. It came in an invisible box, with all invisible weapons and paint scheme. Its super light for invisible diecast! You gotta see the invisible Blazing Sword! It would be super cool if I could see it too! The one bad thing is when I separated it down to the vehicles I lost 1 or 2 of them already......I think. I mean its really hard to see them so I am not really sure if I lost them, just misplaced maybe. I figure I will find them with the vacuum or with the bottom of my foot..Ouch! Kinda a frustrating toy too. Its difficult to transform eyes open or shut. But I will try to post some pics ASAP, but not to sure how they'll show up, it being invisible and all. Well I hope you all get yours soon too. At least I feel better about the cash that I thought just disappeared while waiting for it to arrive. Hmmm I wish I ordered the full color version

No way man. Tomorrow all of our Gokin will be able to transform into a giant robot for us to climb into for a climactic final battle.
Sorry. Nerd book reference alert.

Would you guys stop with the end of the world stuff. The calendar only ends because the Mayans finally sacrificed the calendar maker and family. They skipped them for a few hundred years, but everyone has to chip in at some point with sacrificial duties. Either that or the Spaniards killed them or him/her off and didn't realize whom they were butchering. Thats all I think. At least I got my Clarity Vehicle Voltron! But actually I can't find it at this time. Stupid invisible toy!

Hmmm I wish I ordered the full color version Holy crap your right! Silly me, I must had let it sit outside for a few days. Its rather awesome, well except when I accidentally pressed the leg release and the invisible leg crushed my foot. lol Ive heard rumors they used unobtainium to make the diecast invisible. So anyone wanna take bets on the long term side effects it will have being exposed to it? Hopefully its not like lead but 1000x's worse. XD

you guys realized that there were only 4 mayan books survived or discovered. Rest were destroyed by the spanards. They were afraid of those books due to the content or lack of. So it really could mean that was just one of the many books the mayan made for time telling. Their calendar even capable of calculating far into millions of years. so relax and play with your invisible vehicle voltron for now.
