I just cancelled my preorder on BBTS and got my Super Minipla King J-Der from GreatToysOnline.
I have done a bit of digging and it seems JE Fusion trusts them.
I also seem to have gotten the last one as the page where I bought the King J-Der is gone but my preorder info is still up.

Call me really slow to the party, but I only just found out about Minipla..
Am really liking what I see for King J-Der, but I can't seem to be able to find any for sale (apart from EvilBay).
Can someone PM me where to get one please?
Btw, this super minipla looks like a plastic, scaled-down cousin of SOCs; are the engineering similar?
Any idea if those released as minipla (such as King J-Der and Choryujin) will eventually be SOCs?
Sorry for all the questions here, just excited about finding this line..

Super mini-pla uses partsforming, so engineering is not the same. Wotafa shows how King J-Der is "transformed". |

Found one at Nippon-Yasan. LinkThanks for the link. Still seems quite pricey for a plastic kit; will need to reconsider getting this. |

Great link, thks!
I get what you mean, the other miniplas don't really match up with SOCs upon checking them out.
I still think King J-Der is a pretty good "transform"; similar to the anime.
The parts replacement seems to be aesthetic and is a bonus to me.
Still, really pricey tho. This is the size of a PG Gundam but PG has way more detail.

Wow, this means Bandai still has the Voltron license!! The SOC reissue will see light of day sooner or later.

Yeah the torso in the minipla looks way too compressed for my tastes. |

This one has the lion legs turn into circle magic. "Magic" = parts swap   |

Speculation, this could be the design for a future SOC Full Action Golion.

I don't know anything about Galient but this snake tail design makes me want to buy it. I was gonna get it from N-Y but not for 5000yen shipping. BBTS has it for $130 which is crazy even though its p-bandai. Sigh. Panzer World Galient Super Mini-Pla Jashin Hei  |

Can’t resist Gorg. Voltron might be a pass. It looks fine but I think I may be at a saturation point with Voltron at the moment.
I just finished Zambot. It’s a rather bothersome amount parts swapping but is very nice and the combined bot has some excellent articulation. Unlike the SOC this even has movable hip skirts and can get at least 100 degree forward bend at the hips. Really fun to pose.
