But, you didn't know that. And frankly, I think the Fokker is a fokking amazing toy. You are just caught in the hype of the Voltes, IMO. It's basically a remold of the Combattler which you probably own, right? FWIW, stay patient. You'll get a Voltes V...people who own 23498732142137 versions will realize well, they need the money and/or they lost interest in hoarding that many. That, or Bandai issues more and/or reissue. Continue to routinely look on Amazon Japan, Mandarake, Jungle Toys, and other vendors for inventory. Put this way, as a casual watch collector, this is not a stainless steel Rolex Daytona or a Patek Nautilus. It's a d**n action figure. You will get one. 
thing is i have all the 4 DX,s (Jet Scrander set) and one of them is combattler so i found it sad if i dont get Voltes
my eyes are wide open but im not welling to pay that much for a figure, will wait for a sweet deal or a reissue other than that i dont think i will grab one anytime soon

i feel like an idiot for taking this figure instead of the Voltes DX if i only knew the focker would be this available i wont jump on it as fast but still whats done is done But, you didn't know that.

How dare you! That is one blasphemous accusation! lol   |

hello guys, i just wanted to share with you my experience with this figure
i got this figure way back on the preorder craze along with the super parts set but i wasn't able to ship it until recently
with that said, this is my very first Macross figure (not sure if i could count Orguss II Olson Special ?) i give thumbs up for Bandai on this guy, the transformation was so easy, i was really surprised, it just OWNED every mode like a champ and it was really really fun to play with, the small details and small decals on the body are just amazing
the down side, the first release bonus stand is a freaking joke not highly articulated and annoying to get off, the stand that the figure comes with do a very similar job
also the super parts set are also a rip off not worth it AT ALL, looks cool but not a must for sure

Well they just teased the GBP armor, more details in a week! Hope it's just armor separately. I do love these DX, they did a fantastic job.

Just know that it is 100% plastic which is quite alot for a plastastic toy. But, the DX Chogokin Valks are glorious.  |

I have both. I'd say the Mechander is awesome, but the DX is more awesome!

i have both so i can give you an idea, i also agree with @super.Ultra.Robo.Rider
Mechander is light but its very beautiful and very detailed and its getting rare in the market, another point is that 5 Pro is not %100 to reissue they didnt reissue most of the stuff just repaints for Astroganger
Focker is so focking amazing even for a guy like me who was never a fan of Macross and didnt owne a modern figure from the show, BUT most of my Macross friends told me that there must be another issue for Focker or at least a reissue but without the first release bonus (which is a very lame stand)
so in short its totally up to you but if i were in your place i would go with Mechander robo and get Focker later
