Wow I never thought GX-50 price is close to usd 300 these days, and that's not including shipping. I doubt Bandai will make a new SOC Combattler after 03 and the 50. Even though if they will, I will get it if it has improved articulations. Bandai will most likely re-release the GX-50. It most likely won't have improved articulations. However, it will have the same new "metal-flakes" paint and a 10000y price-hike from the previous msrp... I'm curious, where is the source of news that there will be a Combattler reissue/recolor/etc?

I received the same BBTS message and was bumbed so I emailed them. They replied stating for those who pre-ordered say 5 Voltes' may be allowed only one, due to the "limited quantities" released. However, those who pre-ordered only one, will not be affected. Ok cool,and for thos eof you looking Anime Export has had a GX-50 just waiting to be snatched up...275$ last week they had one cheaper! For $275, it is a steal! I can't believe no one has snatched it up yet. I'd get it myself if I didn't already own one. Now, to find a GX-31V for a decent price.....there's a real challenge.

clayrebel, it is indeed challenging. I saw one MIB @ 25k PHP (or ~570 USD) here in Manila, Philippines. Thanks treatment for the excellent info and reference It seems the "metal-flakes" paint is the new trend? I hope it really looks good

Those SOCs being on displayed with the new stage doesn't mean they all will be reissued in the near future, like in 1 year span.
Oh! There's GX-34 too on the list? It will definitely be a 'buster' home run for the sales. LOL!

Those stands are the best "speculation" we will have as to which SOCs will be re-issued.

Hmmm... I seriously doubt it comes with "three sets of chest pieces"... }D I'm more curious as to why the chest pieces were described as "interchangeable"... Breast fire effects? Gold

I'm going to HK this January. Do you think I would be able to get a V5 there come release day or just pre-order online to be safe?

Hi checkmate,
You can get great prices on SOC in Mongkok. Hope V5 40th is released when you visit HK......

Gold They may be confusing it with the Missile Punch doors... or maybe, they are including some new ones like the SRC Shin Mazinger. We'll find out soon enough. }D

Highly doubt you can walk in a store and get one in an instant, as far as I recall most of the toyshops in hk are also wholesale retailers in other toyshops around asia like singapore, phils, Malaysia and the like. Meaning most of the stocks will be more for shops only and pre orders as well. But then again I remember when I was in Singapore, when big stocks of toys arrive, they sort out the damaged boxes from the good ones, then they sell off the damaged box at a much cheaper price. Best bet would be to pre order one online and get it while your in hk....

ROFLMAO!!!
Just saw some seller's already seriously scalping both 40th Voltes and Maz at amzn at ludicrous pricings of US$399.99 and US$109.99, respectively.
AHAHAHAHA!
I hope nobody here and elsewhere is seriously dumb enough to fall for that kind of scalping...

I hope nobody here and elsewhere is seriously dumb enough for amazon marketplace scalping period.
They make the marked up ebay prices by HK sellers look like a good deal in comparison!

Yeah and most of those marked up sellers that sell EVERY SINGLE SOC back catalog figure,dont even have them in stock,you have to wait weeks while they "find one for you" even though it says in stock... cherrytab and a few others that are really the same seller do this.When you finally get them they are retaped,or displayed used pieces!!

Wow, Voltes is sold out even at BBTS... I don't think that happens very often... Where is Amazon's pre-order?

LOL... must resist... You know, for what I can see in the pics, the paint finish gives Mazinger a "dirty/worn out" look, and It's starting to grow on me. I may keep one on my desk to play with, since it looks raggedy anyway... }D
