The SOC that took the world by storm and caused endless regret for those who decided not to get one during preorder. I regret not getting two!

It did take the WORLD by storm - not just us gokin collectors. I'm in the Voltron collectors Facebook group and alot of the members have started collecting SoCs. The GX-71 has done wonders for our hobby.

Handling the GX-71 makes me wish all the big toy companies would go back to making die-cast, more durable products.

Now I am waiting im the almost vain hopes of a reissue. I have a friend who recently paid $800 to get his hands on a sealed GX-71. He's a die-hard Voltron fan but in his defense he was not aware of the figure or had started this hobby back when it was first released.

This post will slowly become one of the longest post in this board is it? Congrats on 150 pages with most of it are hopes and regrets. It was available for six months after release and honestly, for those those who missed it hopping for a price drop are at fault. When it was available a pestered my friend to get it before it’s too late he just kept telling me later because there were other preorders more important and it will be available later on. Well now he deeply regret it and he trying to score one for 500$ or less and that’s almost impossible these days . Lesson learned for him if there was a figure available now that you want don’t hesitate and grap it before it’s late.

I remember actually canceling my PO of this from amazon and waited until it was released. I bought it from eknightmedia when they put it up for around $260. I also got $8 rewards points from them to boot.
Looking back, that seemed pretty risky considering the state were in now.

Despite loving Voltron, I passed on this initially. I'm glad I came to my senses and also placed an order with eknight a few months before release. I was sweating it since it was after the PO guarantee date. Just happy I got it for the same price you paid. And now I have 2 additional SOCs with another PO'd (all MMPR)

I had to bite the bullet to get another GX-71, since I wanted to display Voltron in both the robot and lion forms.
I thought, at the time, that 430 shipped for the non-us version (without the Voltron outer sleeve) was outrageous - but I'm glad I pulled the trigger now!

I get that. One of my most prized toys is the Max Gokin Godannar and I have no idea about it's anime, other than being super fan service.
