Man this is an awesome piece! I wasn't able to get a pre-order in, but I'm grateful that I was able to purchase one on Amazon 2 days ago for $190 shipped! I'm digging the candle apple red!

i've been lurking on this forum's thread since page 30'sh, silently shared my frustations and anxiety with you guys on whether or not i'm going to get a set from bbts, and yeah, (luckily) bbts have shipped my voltes v a couple of days ago! *cheers* svcks that canadian dollar is down right now, paid $300.00 after taxes and shipping.
btw, should have kept my initial pre-order of two bots, changed my mind around november of last year.

Yep, the CDN sucks dingdongs right now...welcome to the same boat. In regards to your 2 orders of Double-V, BBTS would've reduced it to 1 given the demand for the toy. So, you would've unlikely gotten 2 orders in unless you somehow had 2 accounts or something.

Okay make that only five left. I had to grab one up while I had the chance. If I could I would have bought the six so the guys that missed them could still get them but finances are low these days but I will have one extra around mar 25 so if no more come available by then it will go to the one with the biggest smile and of course what ever I ended up paying.

Well, looks like Amazon sold out out of the initial 6 but looks like they're getting more in the the 20th.

Congrats to some of you getting your long-delayed BBTS backorders, and those that scored on Amazon too! A couple of weeks back, robster1968 was selling NIB's of the original GX-31 and Danguard Ace, and opened box of Shin Getter. I snapped up on the opportunity to get all three at a good price, and guess what showed up in the office for me... I'm going to try and resist opening the GX-31 until I find an open-boxed one...or get the 31V sometime. In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy these new pickups, and thanks again, robster1968!!!

Congrats, Jacques! I too got a GX-31 Voltes and SOC Danguard from robster1968 last year. I only paid for them $200 and I picked them up from his office.
I actually was tempted to get the 2 sets he was selling a few weeks back but I said no since I wanted to get other toys.

Nice to see you guys start receiving your items from bbts. seems that orders from bbts takes forever to arrive. I have some pending preorders from bbts, and although the items have been officially released and already been shipped out for months by other retailers, the same items are still pending in my bbts account.

I think this would have been more appropriate regarding getting Daltanious at $37 :

Hi guys,
Kinda new to the die cast toy game. Last toy I had was a Voltes V when I was younger. What are the chances the prices drop for this version of Voltes V? Want to know if I should pull the trigger now or wait for a deal.

Buy now, trust me you don't want to wait for Voltes to go down in price because it won't.
