From a marketing and fan aspect the fact that this SOC is selling out so damn fast is a great sign for SOC fans and a indicator about the health of the hobby in general. If you make something the fans really want, we WILL find the money to buy it lol!

One little thing I'm happy about is the outer sleeve overlay for the box that is prominent "Voltron" labeling, to go over the "GoLion" box, so it can be displayed either way.

NY is the cheapest price so far, but they don't have the private warehouse service HLJ have so i will stick with HLJ BTW where is the live photos from our RJ member's

Wow I never seen a pre order sold so fast since I collect robot.
I was out of town for 3 days. Before I left no preorder were availlable, when I come back, all preorder are sold out...well almost a few US retailler still has it.
That is fast. The good thing about pre-order, Bandai can adjust to demand if they want.

a close up for the face as you see the face is wrong not good at all, is it really that hard to give Voltron an anime accurate face ? he looks like this > also why the matte paint ? seriously why they didnt use that epic metallic red they used on the 40th anniversary Voltes V ?

Regarding die-cast on red lion, seems not whole body is die-cast. Maybe only the top portion is die-cast?

I wonder if they convert to EUR when you pay if it's a good thing?

It's still a prototype. Even the DX Maz and Great Maz had paint like that when they were on display at SDCC when I attended.

Yeah this is still a prototype not a production piece and probably one that's been sitting around for awhile.

I think it just bad paint at the eyes.

While I'm not writing him off I'm going to take a seat back and watch. While the lions themselves look incredible Voltron just doesn't do it for me. Its just too slavish to the orginal Godakin toy. What I think we all wanted was the pic below.

Like everybody said It's a prototype. still too early to judge. But I do prefer a metallic color over the matte. other than that I'm liking everything so far.
SoC releases are one of the best on the market. less QC issues compared to the other companies.
