    Does anyone know if the FJ set is worth jumping in on? I purchased an SoC one, but would love to have the FJ one around for play.

    Seriously, does Toynami even have strengths? Between the turds that were Robotech (with each successive figure actually getting worse, especially the 1/55 to 1/100 jump), and their disappointing Voltron, I pretty much avoid anything they make now.

    Cool!

    Haha, and the one standing next to it? I have that figure too but can’t remember where it’s from. Thanks!

    That's cool but also kind of cruel since it sold out in like 10 minutes.

    SOC Dairugger? Were you unable to secure a preorder for him? If so, keep your eyes peeled and someone here might decide to free up a preorder as we get closer to his release.

    Yeah I couldn't get one. Honestly though I'm cutting way back on my toy collecting so I'm not too upset about it.

    I'd wait it out until release day. Sometimes you can get lucky. Though if you don't want to wait, NY still has them up...but it's at a marked up price of 42,500 yen >_<

    Contracting out toys to their companies while just handling domestic distribution.

    Their MPC Voltron was okay for its time.

    I've got extra ones on pre-order paid already, so if you need one, I can help out.

    If MP Voltron and Ultimate Ex are disappointing I'd love to hear your take on Mattel's Voltron

    Mattel = "how not to make a big toy (and try to sell it for $$$)"

    There's a reason I didn't buy a Voltron until SoC 2nd run. I didn't even trust the 1st run, with the luck Voltron was having.

    Well if you're one of those 1 and done buyers i guess i can understand, but you're missing out on some really nice Voltrons and i say this bcuz i own a lot and overall i'd say only 2 so far are actually duds though both do have their unique coolness
