Yup. $320 all in. Could have been less if I paid for it immediately when the exchange rate against the Yen was better. I think it was up for a good while because I ordered another one I think about a day or 2 after and still got the same price but cancelled it eventually. It did get listed again every now and then. Although, I don't think it's selling well at the US MSRP. Price is too high at $400+ and coupled with the QC/design issues. So I'm glad I got it for much lower. There have already been reports of QC/design issues? I wasn't aware it'd even been released yet. I was talking about MP-44. Lol! But this thread is for Voltron. So carry on.

I misread your post. Everything makes sense now. Yeah, I got a couple MP-44s off AJ for about $310 or so shipped, but sold them as soon as they arrived after hearing about all the QC issues. Picked up TE-01 instead. I was shocked when I thought you'd snagged GX-88 for $320 shipped.

Dairugger was always an interesting specimen of a gokin at least from a pure toy engineering point of view. I think what a lot of folks tend to forget is that this is a combiner that takes 15 different pieces to form the dairugger gokin. Say what you will, that takes a bit of engineering to get things balanced and joined effectively and needs to be done to some higher level of precision if it is going to hold a pose or perhaps to stay standing correctly even. So looking forward to seeing how Bandai handled themselves this time with this release.

Cconcerned about the knees, "ankles" (tiny posts?), and "shoulder post" pushing the arms so far out.
A lot to love with it, but it doesn't seem perfect.

I can’t wait to get mine. I ended up with 3 I need one in robot mode. The other one in vehicles and the other one combine in air land and sea. Luckily golion only has lion modes so I have it covered as well... Can’t wait to see this one in person and display it best to golion... October 10 is just around the corner ...

who told you that bro ?
October is the 10th month so you might saw the 10 and got hyped lol i understand
the official release date according to the official Tamashii site is the 26th of this month ( 2019\10\26 )
worth to mention some Chinese stores might get it early since the Bandai factories are there
also seeing how hyped every one for this release made me hyped as well lol
