I prefer us shippers as well unless it's new stuff that I can get from a major Japanese seller. Of course shipping is a killer but I find that they package very well and condition is seldom an issue.

ok. so i got it today. misb. perfect condition. im super happy.
great toy. east to transform, and it feels very solid. great joints too. i love love love this candy apple red. gorgeous!
i have a couple of questions though:
what do i do with the pretty bird thing? I can't find anywhere to put him and hes not transformable that i can figure. never seen the show, but I guess hes a part or the voltes story like the tfo is to grendy?
the head seems a little unstable. it only plugs into the hole from the arms frame? nothing else?

Congratulations, Jay. Glad you are enjoying it. Yes, great toy.
The head connects via magnet. Should be pretty stable. Mine is hard to pull out.
The "pretty bird thing" can dock with Voltes' back (you have to fold the tank threads out of the way and there is flap that opens for the "regulator/capacitor" (which is included). Will try to find pictures for you. In the show, Voltes gets upgraded and the eagle craft delivers the vital component (regulator) which allows Voltes to control the amount of energy that is expended. Pretty cool, actually.

congratulations jayliveand you are right what attracted me more was the awesomely awesome red paint about the bird lol, it's called the mechanical eagle and his story is simple Voltes need a new engine (sort of) for a new attack because that attack drain his power like this hobby drain our money so the mechanical eagle install that new engine in voltes back and if you look in accessories you will find the engine and there's an open in voltes back to put the engine i will leave you a mention on Instagram so you have a better understanding as for the head you need to push it a bit further and it will be all good glad to see more members getting this awesome figure

thanks bros. i got the bird in his back now. i felt like it was a shame to have this beautiful thing and not have it on display. yes, its buried in his back but its better than being in the box lol.
he is similar, but so much better than my gx-03 combattler. jeez.
the TV series were related right?

I love that Mechanical Eagle episode!!! Yes, awesome episode. As well as the one prior where the mechanical eagle drops the canister containing the plans for Voltes' upgrade.

Yes... not in the story, but a part of the Robot Romance Trilogy. Combattler V. Voltes V. Daimos. Glad you like this ver. of Voltes V. My fav SoC so far.

$240 new from ebay, reasonable? Please advise, thanks That's pretty much MSRP on the reissue. It's a fantastic figure. One of the most defining ones of the SOC line. In many ways the centerpiece of the line. A classic robot design pretty much perfectly executed. All with a nice hefty 10-12" figure and lots of metal. When anyone discusses Soul of Chogokin, this is typically the first foremost figure that springs to mind.
