did the 40th & Respect version came with a articulated hands like the 1st GX-31? I opened my 40th & was suprised that it has none.

Nope. Bandai did away with the pull out hands starting with the Respect which for me was a step backwards.

I have it on a watch list on eBay, and there was one that came across at the same price as BBTS ($299). It sold fairly quickly though. BTW, if anyone has the original GX-31 that they want to part with, I'll be glad to take it off your hands. The one I acquired recently I'm keeping it in the box, so I'd like to get another one that's been opened.

Thanks for posting Jacques. I bit the bullet and ordered it. I have been waiting for Voltes for years and I wanted to just finally rest and get him. Chogokins are pricey and even if it comes across cheaper I'd rather have the piece of mind to finally have it.

I bought mine from another member here a couple of weeks back after sitting on the sideline for years. Now I'm looking for a second GX-31 or GX-31V and that one I'll open up to display.

I gave in an pulled the trigger also...It actually sold out when I tried to order lol. I emailed BBTS if they were getting more and a few minutes later they said that a person just cancelled so of course I jumped on it. Can't wait to get it!

Wow! I guess even BBTS is taking advantage of the V5 gouge-fest

Yeah.. wanted to wait for a cheaper price but I just wanted to get it off my list now. Are chogokin's usually this rare or is it this specific one?

You can actually get a "cheaper" price if you Pre-order it but if its already out, Retailers have the control to jack the price up specially if the demand is high

haha yeah. I'm kicking myself for not ordering it when I first saw it. (thought to myself that it was too expensive lol!)My collection focus was somewhere else at the time. When I changed my mind it was already too late.

When I changed my mind it was already too late. I have my own fair share of those Pre order blues, who knows Bandai might make a 2nd run due to its high demand.

Quick question to those that have ordered from BBTS. Have any of you selected UPS Ground? How quickly did it get to you?
