Great review once again, Gold. After all is said and done, I still like the original GX-31 over the other two. GX-31 derives from the anime, while the other two do so from the old toy. No "toy" representations for me. }D

Thanks TMZ. Yeah, it's strange we're not hearing anything after Voltes and GGG. I think Wonderfest is ongoing now but so far no new news? Gold

I'm hoping for a Zambot 3 repaint myself.
Y'know, so he matches Trider and the new Daitarn.
And hopefully gives Zambo Ace stronger knees.

My BBTS Pile of Loot shipment sits in my local Fed Ex shipping hub. The package includes 2 Hot Toys Iron Man figures plus this 40th Voltes V. The tracking states it will be delivered today, but I seriously doubt Fed Ex delivers on holidays, or do they?

Bro, Voltes has been sitting in my Pile of Loot since January 22, which is when I got the "preordered products now available" email. I'd contact them if I were you. This happened 3 weeks ago.

Well that sucks. I even looked up their holiday schedule and it says that they have normal delivery on Presidents' Day. Oh well, it's just one more day bro.

I had to get it sent to my work location, since there has been a recent string of package robberies in my neighborhood as of late. I was hoping it would be delivered today as the office is pretty much empty and I don't bring attention with a 33" long box that weighs 20 lbs. lol
Oh well, tomorrow it will be. Then I can say out loud in my living room, "Lets... volt... in!" without any shame. haha

If it's any consolation, it's GX-31V-40 is scarce here in Japan (BTW I'm on vacation). I saw ONE Brand New GX-31V-40 (according to the guy I spoke to) in Mandarake at Nakano Broadway. That was selling for 28,000Y without tax. Next to it was two GX-31's one priced at 24,000 Y and 27,000 Y - both without tax. The guy said that GX-31V is more rare (since no one wants to part with it and is more valuable). I took pics but they are on my phone (I'll upload them later). I wasn't looking too hard in Akihabara, but from casual looking I couldn't find any retail or specialty/second hand shops stocking GX-31V-40. Who knows if Bandai will do another run of GX-31V-40 but it seems NY or evilBay seems to be the only way to get GX-31V-40.

as much as i like to get my hands for VV31V40th to complete the trio.. the current price is just waay above SRP right now. i guess ill have to be content with the previous 2 versions... btw.. i have never taught of ditching or sellin my first version since i had it with me.. those retractable hands.. even without the tank mode.. makes it different than 31V and 31V40th which we all know is just the same with just different paint apps.. to me that what makes it special and a real keeper too.

For those of you who are wondering... I recently purchased a sealed GX31V respect for volt, and compared it to my 40th Voltes. It seems that the 40th has a much MUCH tighter crotch joint. I remind you, my respect Voltes was sealed, so the crotch is tight, but feels it will loosen with a little play. However, the 40th crotch is solid. no signs it will wear anytime soon. ankle joints on the 40th is tighter as well, compared to the Respect version.
Perhaps Bandai made some joint improvements on the 40th?
