This guy's going to be released soon but I haven't seen the box art. Or did I miss something? I could swear They showed off the box art a few weeks ago?

Based on experience, Tamashii Nations release dates are always on the dot, at least in Japan

That was really close!! I'll allocate the 29th in hunting this bad boy. I heard that radio kaikan would be my best shot in getting one in akihabara. I do believe that the shops open at 12 noon in japan?

I could swear They showed off the box art a few weeks ago? i was thinking the same but i went and watched the video of the unpacking in NYCC it was just the inside of the box and how the figure will be packed inside, no box art i think they will use couple of the promo photos on it tho, however i wish if they make it more special like the 40th anniversary SOCs

Not a fan of the blue lipstick, but I really dig the aesthetic of that Black Lion.
Once again, MMPR movie Megazord designers - take notes.

Definitely, luck was on my side as it would have sucked if I was already there but dont get to get one. Talk about sheer luck! Will keep you guys posted if I manage to get one and get some photos of it.

That date reeks of being a placeholder.

Thanks everyone for the informative responses! I didn't even realize anyone had responded. I'm used to the TF forums, where you're automatically subscribed when you respond to a thread. I'll have to fiddle around with the settings here. So I bit the bullet and preordered the figure. I'm a little familiar with supply/demand/pricing when it comes to TFs. I know popular Japanese figures sell out quickly and are hard to come by, and this is a very popular product. However, expensive items also don't typically sell out right away, and may get discounted later on. But based on most of the responses here, $280 is a good price, so I just went ahead and ordered it. I only plan on having 1 Voltron figure, and don't want to risk not being able to get it later on because I tried to save a few bucks. Your price is good. Shipping from Japan will be on the order of $50 so it will be around $300 shipped from Japanese retailers if you can find one. Where did you find that price? www.woozymoo.com/products/voltron-defender-of-the-universe-gx-71-voltron-soul-of-chogokinI've actually never ordered from them before. But I've emailed them a few times and they're super responsive. I believe they're also a site sponsor for one of the TF forums, and a few people there have vouched for them. TBH the first time I heard of them, I thought it was a scam site lol. They have the best price of the reputable US toy stores I'm used to ordering from. And yes, free shipping and no tax.

I'll have to fiddle around with the settings here. The option is there, but you have to bookmark the thread manually. You can do this when posting your reply (drop-down menu, top right corner, next to the "Add Attachment" button) or after the fact while reading the thread (top right corner again, "Actions" drop down menu, left to the search field).

So we're a little more than 3 weeks until this figure is officially released. Is it usually this quiet prior to release? I would have expected someone out there would've gotten an advance copy for review. I only saw one on youtube from weeks ago.
