I ordered this on Jan. 17 from LCM and I'm still waiting for this to ship. But then over the last two weeks I saw it in-store at Toy Arena at Frank and Sons and Anime King, the latter selling it for $280 total. I guess I could have gotten the item from them and be messing with the figure by now. 🤨 Yeah I was Anime King and saw regular Voltron version too and DX Combattler V but for $600 then add tax be over $650. I ordered something too from China and literally took good month and package had huge hole marks and box damage. It was aggravating. I Elected to get Dark Voltron via DHL and took few days. I don't mind paying little extra for prompt shipping. Longer something sits in transit it's prone to get damage, lost or drive you crazy waiting. I also did the same. I've been in contact with them and was told as of Feb 2 (last week) that they should be getting in their stock (this week). and may be delayed another week due to Chinese New Year. I've ordered from him before so I'm not worried. As long as he gets the product, so will we. unfortunatly we just have to wait a bit more.  |

Longer something sits in transit it's prone to get damage, lost or drive you crazy waiting. yes anything from China take about a month or so to arrive and they charge you alot more for EMS or DHL I see, I haven't ordered from Anime King before so wasn't sure about the tax. I saw a listing for Daltanious on their eBay store for $230; that is what they had in store so I thought there wasn't any tax. Guess it was still cheaper for me to order directly from LCM since it was also about $280. |

I was feeling a little uneasy with no update, but I did see that they changed the status on their website. They must have underestimated how popular this colored version would be. Oh well, we just have to be patient then. |

I ordered an icarus toys voltron 2 weeks ago direct from Icarus. First one I ordered from them, the dark lion set, got here in 4 days. This time something happened and I’m still waiting. Icarus sent it EMS and gave me a tracking number. The last update says handed over to carrier/left for destination. That was February 1st. Nothing since. No Voltron. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Has anyone else experienced something like this? Could be delays due to Chinese New Year (Feb 16). Things get bogged down about a week before it or more and sometimes delivery and processes all over China grind to a halt. Gold |

I ordered a Dark Voltron from toyz-king on Ebay and the item came within a week of purchasing via DHL.
What's interesting is, according to the tracking, it went from Hong Kong to Korea (for some reason). When I saw it went to Korea, which was on a Saturday, I was thinking there's no way the package is getting to me by Monday. Much to my surprise it went from Korea to Los Angeles to SF in 2 days and arrived on Monday as scheduled.
I was so satisfied I ordered a second one a few days ago.

Yes, exact same experience with me as I live in SoCal. DHL is way to go. On flip side, I bought something from TF-direct and it took over a month because it went all the way to USPS ISC New York. I’m like why the hell does it go all way to east coast then back to west coast. I learn my lesson from that website shipping service. I thought my item was lost and emailing stating it was lost because tracking didn’t update. |

EMS is having delays lately (something about cold). I've received a package last week that took almost 12 days... check their tracking site (last time I checked there was a warning)

Toyz-king and LCM are the same at least when I got my Paypal receipt. I went with Toyz-King and was very happy with their service. They are very good at message communication. Im refraining from buying the regular version. 😂 I don’t need it I don’t it. |

Mine just landed in New York. I’m looking at 2 weeks total delivery time by the time it gets to me in SW Florida. Sucks because I paid $300 to get it direct from Icarus w fast EMS. That was a waste of $40.....

Sooo, I liked this picture so much, I had an acrylic print of it made. I didn't know how it would turn out, but after I received it, I was like "Wow!". So you could say I was pleased.

I’d like to thank Icarus Toys for voluntarily sending me two perfect lions and a replacement sword. This is not just a business but a community of robot lovers and I’d like to apologize for airing my laundry on HoC. They made a gorgeous Voltron and for whatever reason mine had a couple issues. They have gone above and beyond w their customer service. Just wanted to share

Has anyone heard any recent information on the Icarus Voltron? All the vendors that I see are still taking orders, but none of them seem to have any definite information about when these will be back in stock. It seems like everyone is just hoping for the best right now. I even tried contacting Icarus on Facebook, and all they could tell me is that they were "already released in market."
