Blitzway Carbotix VOLTRON!!

[OzmaLee]

Wasn’t this supposed to be released last month? Can’t find any news about if it was delayed. I know there are already reviews and unboxing videos so what’s the holdup?

Delayed until June at the earliest. Apparently there were QC issues that Blitzway is working on fixing.

allow me to fill you in

this is from a guy who translated a post from Blitzway FB

This is Blitzway. Regarding the recent controversy regarding CARBOTIX VOLTRON products, we would like to announce our position as follows. First of all, we would like to apologize to the consumers who have purchased our CARBOTIX VOLTRON products for the problem of supply in quantity and defective issues that occurred in the initial quantity. All of Blitzway's executives and employees feel a heavy responsibility for letting consumers who have purchased our products and waited for a long time with this kind of problem. We have formed a special after-sales team at the head office in Korea to deal with defects found and received so far with sincerity and sincerity. We will do our best to provide after-sales service for customers who have received defective products, and we will do our best to prevent the same problem from occurring through more strengthened inspections for future shipments. Unfortunately, while monitoring the current situation, it was discovered that another company in the same industry systematically slandered Blitzway through acquaintances and some ghost IDs, and now formally commissioned the cyber investigation team belonging to the Seoul National Police Agency. It is under investigation by the police authorities. We requested an investigation by collecting suspicious circumstances such as testimonies, chat rooms, recordings, ID histories, and purchase histories of the contents. There was a part where many buyers already reported directly to whether or not they agreed with this part. Ghost IDs created for slander that you can see in community posts, slander in a non-purchasing state, dissemination and incitement to the fact that you received a refund after cancellation even without a purchase history, aggressive comments on articles supporting or supporting Blitzway, etc. , allegations of directing or encouraging this are currently being investigated. We have thought a lot before requesting such an investigation, and we would like to inform you that we do not intend to block the opinions of customers who have left comments with regret and upset after receiving a defective product. This case investigation request is intended to punish those who promoted systematic exaggeration and false agitation and public opinion, and to prevent the recurrence of that part. We reiterate that the investigation will not be conducted on the voluntary opinions of actual buyers. We promise to always listen to sound criticism and customer opinions and make improvements. CARBOTIX VOLTRON currently receives about 60 defective cases compared to domestic shipments. However, this VOLTRON has a large quantity reserved for shipment, which is rare in Korea, and the actual defect rate through systematic dissemination and slander This leads to more exaggerated issues. The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Cyber ​​Investigation Team will have no leniency for the dissemination of false facts and manipulation of public opinion turned out to be true. . We once again apologize and apologize for the occurrence of this issue. (Employers of Blitzway Inc.)

they are admitting there is some QCs, and they are saying they will make sure that every unit is flawless (i respect that to be honest) owning their mistakes, for me i still think its over priced and for that price the figure MUST be flawless at least

the other part is what im not sure about, are they going after anyone who gave a negative review about their product, or just that "another company"

Litigation def is for the competitor company….NOT individual consumer who actually bought the product and has expressed his “disappointment.”

Legitimate users who actually bought the product can and should express disappointments and cons all they want. Blitz 5Pro readily accepts QC issues that rose due monitoring problem at the factory in question. Blitz 5Pro specifically expressed that it welcomes all and any constructive criticism towards its products from consumers who actually handled the product 1st hand and will honor the warranty when needed.

Seems, according to the post, it’s upset that it’s competitor is taking this opportunity to engage in smear campaign and Blitz5Pro’s not having that. Because Blitz is using domestic law, I’m going to “assume” it’s another Korean boutique toy maker that’s causing “systemic”problems.

If you are still waiting for your order to fulfill, than you should be in a better place as B5 is going to monitor the Factory closer going forward.

Please feel free to correct, edit and add to my take on the translation.

Thanks RJ Bros! 😊

Well, that's assuming that those unfulfilled orders aren't already produced and just sitting in some port waiting to be unloaded. Because if that's the case, there's no point on monitoring the factory.

So, what I'm reading here is: Stick with Bandai.

LOL oh that Yumcha

I say Hope for the best.
Chances are you’ll be ok and if not, Blitz 5Pro will take care of you.(according to the post anyways)

I'd give Blitzway props for owning that they have QC problems. If it was Bandai, as they are right now, they wouldn't even care if the product is defective. For example, the really hyped up and in demand SH Figuarts Ultraman Tiga that was released last year has a painted flexible rubber torso where the paint simply rubs off even by just holding the figure. The entire initial production run was like that. No recall or acknowledgment of the defect that I am aware of. In recent years Japanese consumers have become more and more vocal about the poor quality of Bandai products through social media and negative product reviews.

It's not just Bandai though, the same poor quality issues are cropping up with regularity for Takara Tomy products too.

Not just Ultraman, even their Kamen Rider figures had an issue with the rubber suits that was never acknowledged.

Oh, I was wondering what happened, glad to hear they're delaying it instead of forcing a problematic release.

Showz Store just emailed today to fill Preorder balance...
I am still hesitating on this piece ; that's a hell of price.
Regarding the quality and price it is like a premium combiner boxset.

if i were in your place, i would ask them to open and check if there is any QC issues

after the send a confirmation email you can ship it, otherwise DONT risk it you will end up paying more for shipping back and forth

couple of friends reported they got charged but they are not sure if they want they will get a flawless unit

[ahoran77]

Does anyone know what the QC issues are specifically? Is there a common issue to look out for?

I don't think the delays are due to them fixing anything. I think the delays are due to logistics and shutdowns from COVID in China. Luck of the draw when you get yours.

I guess the name of the game right now with toys is to.... drum roll.... wait.... wait... and wait....

From 4 pages back:
robotjapan.proboards.com/thread/26173/blitzway-carbotix-voltron?page=16


Generally, it seems to be breakage from improper handling and not actual production flaws. But replacing the batteries for the feet lions does carry some big risks it seems?

you are right

the world is still recovering from COVID there is some huge production delays

thats why you cant get a MSRP PS5

some new cars comes with less features

and now thanks to the war and gas prices you could foresee a spike in prices

very dark times im telling you

Damn. So the paint rubs on some of my SoCs and the Masterpiece figures are not just me?
Yeah......damn. I just got my Goodsmile Thunder Gridman and man is the paint strangely solid when compared to handling Bandai or Takara.

I mean good God.
