Voltron II has nowhere near the recognition as GoLion and Dairugger. Evolution Toy, who sucks, has one released and Action Toys*, who doesn’t, has a transforming one on the way, and a non-transforming one released. I suppose Bandai could jump on board too but I would bet real money they don’t anytime soon.

*Action Toys transforming Albegas would be a serious SOC contender.

 

Great piece!

 

Here in Italy Albegas might even be more popular than Dairugger, but still nowhere near Golion, Daltanious, Daitarn 3, not to mention the various Mazinger and Getter. Given how anything with the Voltron name attached sell out recently I can't exclude the possibility of Bandai making a Soc Albegas, but I don't think it will be a priority.

 

Sadly (but unsurprisingly), Dairugger isn't coming with any kind of stand for the individual vehicles modes. Is anyone else here brainstorming possible display options?

Earlier this year BBTS put up a preorder for IF Arcee. Thought that was strange, as it was long sold out everywhere, but figured it was some found stock. I put an order in and seemingly got the last one. Maybe a month later I got an email from them saying it was out of stock.

With that said, that seems to have been a unique case. I've done plenty of preorders with BBTS over the years and this is the only one they ever cancelled.

 

Ok, where can I get that cupcake stand?

Between pastry and jewelry risers, there actually look to be a ton of credible display options.

 

GUUAAARDS!!!

 

Notice that I selected a transparent storage bin through which you can view the sad lonely stares on the little bots' faces pressed against the inside...when stacked in the closet...if you turn on the lights...

 

Chogokin cupcakes when? And they better be able to combine like in the show.

Anyone still looking for preorder?

 

TCP got their preorder for GX-88 up this morning and I just had to miss it!!!

Wow, I was thinking of switching to TCP since with that price its a 10 dollar gift certificate (thus the same as BBTS), free shipping and no tax (which BBTS charges me now), but yeah, anytime this bad boy shows up he's gone in an hour or so.

 

Thanks. Does Gamestop charge sales tax?

Edit: never mind, they do.

 

TCP had their PO up at 5pm ET and sold out in about 20 minutes I think. If you're still looking, Sure Thing Toys still has it available. Only within US, no international shipping and you pay up front.

I have a PO with BBTS, and kept it. So I'm good at least... anyone else have at that link.

 

Sales tax is cheaper that scalper markup...Lol...

 

Yep, I made an order. Thanks. And anyway shipping is free so it's all good.
