Is Bandai going to release more of these? I missed the first boat, and it seemed to be short lived anyway. So will there be another round to order and buy somewhere? Please let me know and where, and thank you.

It's my favorite SOC from the past year or so. Megazord is cool but Voltron is so much better. So glad I preordered one when it was first announced.

I agree, still the best SOC in my opinion and to be able to get it in Japan (2 days before the release).....it is quite special Congrats on your purchase! I might get another one if they decided to reissue. But damn, those prices ae!!! Crazzzzzzzy!

IMO Not really expensive enough for secondary market gains For people that purchased at full retail trying to resell through outlets like eBay. For retailers that got it at distribution cost, yeah, 200-300% profits. But anyone that imported this and purchased it at cost even if you can get it at low or $260-275. Selling for $450-500 on eBay, eBay and PayPal gonna take a cut close to 10%. That's 45-50 in fees. Then there is shipping. If included that cuts into profits. Cost of shipping can be anywhere between $15-50 pending where it's being shipped to. And also the risk of selling to fraudulent type buyers on eBay. An example, cost of $300, and $45 in fees and $50 in shipping as the worst case is $395. If the sell price is $450, seller only made $55 for selling the piece. Best case $260 cost $50 in fees and $15 to ship out then $500- $260-50-15 and the person makes $175. Making $55 is not worth doing for this piece. Even at a $100 it's still to high of a risk to do. No guarantees at making over $100 each time. Pieces has to reach the $600 price point before I find it worth while for resale. This was what I told my two buddies that said they were gonna buy 10 pieces each for resale. Of course those two were full of it.

Yeah, not a giant piece like this....maybe a smaller exclusive pieces perhaps. Toy reselling is a hard gig id imagin. Kudos for those whos making a living out of it.
One time i consider doing it but its too cut throat for me and the profit margin seems too small for the trouble. Again, i salute those who are successful at it.
