Regarding BBTS, it will be first ordered, first served. Those that ordered only one GX-31V-40 unit will get first preference. Those that ordered several units will be limited to one unit (as previously mentioned in this thread).
Man, worldwide shortages of GX-31V-40.
I don't recall they did a second run of GX-31 or GX-31V?

I think the 31 was made abundantly so no real shortage until it eventually sold out. The same goes for 31V I think? I recall hearing a friend saying it hit rock bottom prices at clearance in HK at one point, when it sold out that was the time things went screwy.
This one just went nuts right out the gate. Sigh...

Yes, that is true, i remember the 31 hitting rock bottom prices in my country and hardly anyone is buying at one stage and the 31v was offered to me at a very reasonable price of 130 usd (if i remembered correctly) by one local retailer some years back.

Wow, I mustve been one of the first to order. I actually got availability like 2 weeks ago. I only just received it yesterday because I left it in the pile of loot butjust got it with collector packaging. Strange how the other release was clearanced and now there isnt enough to go around. Guess the guy in charge of deciding quantity is scratching his head in confusion Ack...hope BBTS comes through...otherwise, I need to pay an inflated price for this toy.

Well that's crappy. I do remember getting an email that they were closing preorders a long time ago and were worried about a shortage. I have one at bbts and one at toy source so hopefully one of them comes through.

Just for fun GX-31V still looks visually better to me. Has that retro feel for me.

Looks really good all 3 displayed side by side. im also one of those who didnt preordered 40thVV. I thought there wasnt much difference and felt satisfied with the previous two versions. i wasnt really a big fan of recolors anyway. But if they instead made all silver parts into metallic chrome,, being a sucker for chromes.. well i could have preordered it in an instant or without hesitation hehe

Going into my Preorder page, I placed the order on Sept. 1, 2014. So, not sure how that compares to when you placed yours.

My Voltes V 40th from BBTS arrived with some minor box damage, but I'm not complaining. I'm just grateful I got one and will be opening it anyway.

Congrats mrclean08 ... hopefully mine will show up one day from them but for now hearing fellow collectors are at least receiving some from them brings a little hope that they have mine somewhere...

I just saw this pic online... The joints are really way better this time around. I never thought of trying out that pose but it definitely will hold (unlike the Gx31) Gold

dang it all these pics of ridiculous posing is making feel sad about not getting one still ( come on bbts don't fail me now...) Looks like bandai finally gave us a soc voltes that can hold the dynamic posing we all want to see..

I wish they would re-release GX-31 or 31V with these joints,do not like this paint job at all.
