Hi all, I got the same refund from Anime Island ...that sucks and I had my BBTS pre-order cancelled .....never knew the 40th V5 would be so hard to get (even pre-ordering!!) aaaarrgghh. aaaarrgghh..sorry to hear that... angolz has it for pre-order..but to the US the shipping is so expensive.. and the pre order alone cost $250....ish already...with shipping it could fetch to a whopping $300 smackaroons.....

Dang...sorry to hear the cancelled preorders. If history is any indication, you guys should still be able to get one once the toy releases.

I guess the GX-31V's current high asking prices caused the 40th V5 to have even pre-orders unfulfilled..... >:(I really wanted a pre-order price......

It really is ridicilous.
You'd think Bandai would've seen this coming. What's the point in reissuing something if it all winds up in the hands of scalpers anyway?

Well, if the DX Chogokin Macross Frontier toys were any prelude of things to come...I would think not. They are more than happy to see a mad demand for their toys.

I'd pre-order just to make sure you get one. Slightly off topic: This Voltes re-issue is going to cost me $250+ AU(including shipping). I was able to get a return flight (sale fare) from Australia to Manila for $240 AU. What is the world coming to... :/

Hi all, I was able to get enough airline travel miles for a free ticket to Japan. I hope to be able to score on a 40th Voltes V in Osaka this coming February. Even cost price is ok, will save on shipping...

Even cost price is ok, will save on shipping... You didn't have to pay admin fees or taxes for the free ticket? If you're going to Osaka, go to Yodobashi Umeda.

Hi Mojacko - you should visit Japan - very clean, polite locals, great food! I was surprised SOC weren't that many in Akihabara & Nakano Broadway.....mostly Gundams & SRC were available in my visit.

The red is why I decided to not pre-order it. Looks like a candy apple! I would not cancel it thou. Some folks here did not get a chance to pre-order it at a decent price, and may want to buy it from you. }D
