We all better save up another $600 because it is inevitable we will eventually get a Respect for Volt in Box REPAINT of this DX Voltes V at some point. That would be awesome and funny. Another DX Voltes?!? I think the next DX would be Grendizer given Bandai are going with the classic robots first. I would prefer DX Daimos so I can complete Robot Romance Trilogy. Then there's a DX Golion and DX Dairugger eventually. LOL.

Prepared your wallet guys ... it should be shipping to your lovely online store now 🤣 These are the MIG statues. It's big and beautiful but I don't have the space for it.
There is a video of MIG employees dropping the box to test the packaging protection on their FB page fb.watch/26Jz9S3FuG/

Do you have to pay upfront @ Nippon Yasan? Any other sites to pre order this DX? AmiAmi said they cant send it in Canada thru DHL because it has a battery. SUCKS!

Nippon Yassan don't charge right away, but they sometimes claim an item is releasing earlier than expected so they can charge you before release. Amazon Japan have it, though their discount isn't as good as AmiAmi. See if they're willing to ship it to you. www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B08C3B35VF/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=AN1VRQENFRJN5&psc=1

Apparently there are lots of AmiAmi customers who pre order items and where put on hold status because of the pandemic. They will however resume the shipping once everything gets back to normal. Im OK with waiting as long as they will ship out my DX.

I pre-ordered as well and I haven't paid a single dime to them so far. I did PO from NY very early though and payment wasn't required then, but some time after that I did notice that payment or DP was required.

Initial PO typically doesn't require immediate payment unless it is P-Bandai. For popular items, NY will suddenly list it as "SOLD OUT", then reopen the PO again with a higher price that requires payment up front. It's very shady.

Very impressed with the retro packaging, with the handle and inner sleeve windows. Very nostalgic, just like those big gokin set when I was a kid, but now scaled to an adult size LOL.

Packaging smaller than DX Combattler?
Cool retro packaging though but I have to say DX Combattler seemed more premium - each unit in an individual box (albeit not environmentally friendly).

I agree, the packaging of the DX Combattler looks a lot more premium--Just the look and feel of it. I prefer the DX one because it's consistent with the DX Mazinger and DX Great Mazinger packaging design. I find the DX Votes V packaging cheesy, like the old Soul of Chogokin branding with the awful lightning bolts and marble. I am so glad they stopped adding those unnecessary effects. The current SOC packaging designs look a lot more high end, like I should be paying twice the amount of what they used to cost (Okay, no!). I know that my opinion here in regards to the DX Voltes V look and feel is in the minority. The reason why is because I didn't own the vintage Voltes V and so I don't have the nostalgia for it. And I also have a graphic design background. People in this field tend to have the "less is more" aesthetic.
