    Honestly? What kind of school did you go to? LOL. I guess New Zealand (where I grew up) were a bit more PC

    Lol...no...we were taught about the alligator eating the big numbers as well. I remember it like it was yesterday. They really belabored the point...

    I know how to do it when there are 2 #s, but my wife who is a teacher got on to me for saying I'd do $100> to me meant $100 or less but she said the sign must come first so I was like oh and haven't figured it out since lol

    The FJ set seems suitable for an alternate lion display or something, and you can’t really fault them for putting out the product with the availability of the SOC so constrained by the rampant scalping.

    Just don't look too closely at them for comparison as the finish def isn't up to SOC quality, based on what I can see from vid reviews of the SOC and what I have in hand. I actually think Voltron mode looks closer to SOC than the individual lions. Case in point being the different treatment to the lion legs. Arms seem to be chromed, legs don't seem to be.

    I didn't realize until just now how much different they are.

    It would be interesting to see those two next to the animation model and the original 80's combining toy.

    Right one is SoC... the left one I think is the Miracle Metal Works one and compared to the SoC... wow... it looks really goofy.

    But that was the only modern Vehicle Voltron we ever got before the SoC. I don't think there was any other company that tackled it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    The MMW one looks more like a collectible version of the toy vs the SOC which looks more anime accurate

    honestly id be down for a super mini pla of that. i like the scale, and price as it's a lot more affordable to get voltron, megazord, and others with that level. though i dont have my soc voltron yet, as im in the reissue preorder batch at bbts.

    Hopefully not a repost but I was able to get a SOC vehicle Voltron preorder a few days ago on gamestops site. Not sure if it’s good or not? I got a confirmation email though

    Decent quality, tight ratchets, a bit loose in some outward leg movement but not majorly. The finish bugs me more, inconsistent chrome between arm and leg lions. The yellow lion head can be a bit loose but maybe.future can help that. Other than that, it's good. 7.5 to 8 out of 10 maybe?
