Well now that we know the price for the Carbotix Voltron (699) how many are still in? I currently have it resting in my TFS stack. No deposit, no tax and no shipping is pretty cool for something that large and spensive.
Im still not 100% sure I want to spend 700 on one toy but it sure looks amazin. At least I have until Jan to think about it.

 

Am I reading this right that there will be another Voltron re-issue?

 

There is. Preorders went up back in March.

 

Thanks. I remember that one. I thought there may have been a... what would that have been... third re-issue.

 

Would have been 4th? I think one was exclusive to Japan.

 

I ordered it.

 

*shrugs* At this point if I wanted it I wouldn't have canceled two seperate pre-orders   I can always get the 700 dollar version from the other company.    

 

Ordered 1 and figuring out the best place for the 2nd

 

Voltron: Defender of the Universe (Blitzway) - Carbotix Series

In case someone wants to save a couple bucks on that Carbotix Voltron. And yes, they’re legit.

 

This Voltron is fookin AMAZING.     

 

Seems like Lnar Toy Store still has Voltron up for grabs:

GX-71 VOLTRON Soul of Chogokin

 

couple of late SOC reviews from RPA...

 

How long have you shopped with them?

 

A couple years now, they’re well-known in tokusatsu circles and regularly deal with other items this expensive, not some fly-by-night operation.

 

Thanks for the info, with your recommendation and their discounts, I can't refuse!
I nabbed the SOC and Carbotix Voltron and now I'll have the ultimate final battle between them to see who will rule my collection as king of the Voltron toys!

(Smart money is on Carbotix but hey who doesn't love a David versus goliath surprise victory so I'm not counting out SOC yet!)

 

I have a feeling Carbotix will have little to no diecast and not really qualify as a “Gokin” but might be a significantly better toy. I can’t see one over the other as the SOC is one of the best modern SOCs.

Just my  

 

shoot I thought the carbotix would have lots of diecast for that price....oh well its different enough from the Soc that they'll both have a valid place on the shelf

 

I own their Mechander which is a great toy but not Gokin by any stretch of the imagination. However it’s very nicely done and well articulated. So for a shocking amount of money at least you get a good product. Judging by the articulation and what they’re showing this Voltron doing. I am thinking it’s a plastic toy.

But I ordered 2 if that helps.

 

Good packaging!

 

Yesterday I took my Gipsy Danger off the shelf and noticed the right leg joint was loose. The lock washer in the joint had somehow become dislodged. I was able to unassemble the joint but can't get it back together. I have all the parts, but I don't have the clearance to screw the screw back in or the pressure to get the washer to flatten. Does anyone have any advice or would be able to help?
