    Already have the MP, matchbox and Japan TRU exclusive one , might as well get this one too

    This sounds like a good deal since the die cast one has legs that are almost to heavy for it and can fall off. Should'nt be an issue with the plastic ones

    I got him from a toy specialty store. However, I must stress that I live in Asia.

    And when it first listed at BBTS it was even cheaper. I pre-ordered mine @ $45.

    I preordered mine on BBTS a while back too. Cheapest, and I save on shipping by putting it with the Pile. I think I'm more eager for the stand with the badge, though. I so wanted one of those badges as a kid.

    And what isn't cheaper than Entertainment Earth? I love the site and selection, but on the whole, they're always a few bucks over most other places on specialty toys. They're fair on Joes n' stuff, though. They leave the 700% markup on those to Brian's Toys. :)

    Lions > Vehicles

    I'd love to see a Vehicle version done well actually...

    Yikes, I didn't even think to compare to the BBTS listing!

    How about Digital Toys? Digital-Toys.com : VOLTRON

    Yeah, I've seen it. I still find the Vehicle Voltron much cooler than the Lions though. Especially the way they can combine into smaller, separate vehicles as well.

    Mine just fell into the 'Pile' as well.

    I think if they made as many vehicle voltron toys as they have GoLion, I don't think anyone would choose vehicle. Scarcity increases interest. Vehicle Voltron is the C-Span of action robots.
