I've given it some thought and I think I'm going to pass on this. I was really excited back when respect for volt came out but I already have two vintage DX Voltes, more vintage to buy, and I really want the Arcadia that's coming out.

I was tempted, but the metallic paint drove me away. I already have two of the originals, and would've gotten this one if the paint wasn't so toy-like. It truly reminds me of Hot-Wheels paint... }D

Mhmm the priority in the December-January period will be GaoGaiGar for me. I don't know if this new Voltes will pop up in any shops around here. Probably yes. But even then, I don't know if I'll have enough money for it We'll see how it goes.

I posted about this scalping at amzn back more than a week ago.
They're definitely not Bluefin or official amzn-pricing.
They're the usual "3rd-Party"/"re-sellers"/"marketplace" trolls routinely overpricing prices at amzn.

It's not wicked. They did something to cause you frustration. Voice your complaint as a consumer. The worse that can happen is nothing. The best that can happen is they'll do something to compensate you. I have received many restaurant gift certificates, and partial and full refunds on merchandise in the past by voicing legitimate complaints and customer dissatisfaction.

Well, I have pre-ordered none of these. I already had a bunch of stuff pre-ordered for December, but I wasn't expecting all this stuff to sell out like that. Usually SoC reissues have stuck around for about three months before finally doing so (so I was hoping to grab it later). Bandai must be reducing their manufacturing numbers or something

Guys don't EVER be fooled by TOYWAVE either another place where you get all excited cuz they have a ton of backlog stuff that supposedly is in stock,I asked about 6 things...6!! NONE were in stock although site said otherwise.I don't think it even comes down to laziness of inventory corrections,I think they KEEP the stuff on there as a lure.
Also GGG had a good experience with anime Island,not his fault,but my advise is STICK to the tried and true dealers you know,instead of trying to save a buck on shipping, or deals that seem too good to be true from dealers that you never hear much of,or never heard of at all.This was the case with the nIppon-Yassan NY dealer,everyone jumped on that bandwagon because of initial good feedback here,well they are one of the worst around for petty problems like illustrated above.
If your not ordering from AmiAmi,Anime Export,BBTS{if you must}or other big names like Angolz or HLJ {which I dont like because of wait times,but have consistent good dealings},then dont order from anyone.There are alot of sketchy companies overseas,in this hobby its not about good deals,its about receiving the items in the end and in a timely manner.
Sure I go out of the box sometimes to get something i need from the odd seller,but NOT on the regular.Stick with those who continually give you good service up front.Customet service is non existent in this field,Ive found,those who luck out with any should be happy when dealing overseas.

dont forget awesome Amazon too, only if you dont mind possibly damaged packaging.
that said though , there is some really good in stock chogokin deals at AI, but please do take Barons advice and make sure to confirm they really have them in stock! just to be on safe side.

I was really excited back when respect for volt came out but I already have two vintage DX Voltes, more vintage to buy, and I really want the Arcadia that's coming out. Yea, with all the $ I spend on modern toys I could have a dx voltes. I should re think some modern toy buys. I just like fiddling with them (for only a few days...) and I know I wouldn't with the vintage voltes. What Arcadia release are you talking about? Are the making a voltes?
