Wow. That looks/sounds absolutely awful.  Huge pass. 

This is why i stopped buying at hlj and deleted my account. A couple years ago, i bought two masking sheets…two sheets of pre-cut masking tape for painting. Both as thin as a piece of notebook paper and slightly smaller than a standard comic book. Combined cost for both was around $8. Cheapest shipping for these two pieces of paper was $45. 
 

Ive had larger, heavier items shipped from AmiAmi for less. 

Also, this lion voltron (5.6inches) is listed for $219 at bbts and the mini action vehicle team voltron from the same company, which is 7 inches is listed at $65.99…?

Is Action Toys doing more than one lion voltron?  The specs for the one above say it is 5.6 inches tall but in this video from wotafa at summer wonderfest, it is clearly larger than that.  
 

i know there is a mini action lion voltron in the works but this one is not labelled mini action anywhere. 
 

here is the vid. 5 mins in, wotafa talks about the action toys voltron 

The stand does not come with the Japanese release. It is sold separately. 

Are you talking about the Japanese exclusive release of the blitzway voltron?  If so, its 380mm/14+ inches. Its the same figure as last years release with an exclusive blazing sword accessory.   I cannot find any info on a blitzway release that is the same size as the threezero voltron 

also, it does not cost more that the original release.  The figure itself is almost $300 less than the first release.  It can be preordered for a little over 55,000 yen which is about $375. 

I would love for it to be a non combining, show accurate Golion…

or a modern updated Machine Robo Puzzler but i know neither are at all likely. 

I have sold a bunch of items on MW. All pleasant, positive successful transactions. I have been mentioned and thanked multiple times in the SSL thread but my name has never been added to the list.  Would I be eligible to sell if it was changed to SSL only?

I have bought from and sold to mods and several well known, prolific posters here. 

No QC issues with my copy. No cracks, breaks or anything else.  Super solid all around.  Looks and feels great.  Very satisfied with the purchase.  I don't think its better than the SOC…just different.  I love both. 

Amiami has mp-56 for Y15,200. $116 US.  Roughly the same price as terraegis

The BAT will be a regular release.  Target will have Tiger Force and Python Patrol releases.

Thanks for the reply and info. 

Is the BAT going to be another target exclusive?

I emailed two retailers in japan about the upcoming aoshima airwolf kit with clear body. They both told me that a non-clear body is also included. 

Bbts has SOC Golion available for pre-order again:

Showzstore had preorders up for a couple days. 

Placed an order with Showz earlier today. I've never ordered from them before. If this thing turns out to be a qc disaster, how are they with returns?

I'm not talking about extra fees. I'm talking about pre order prices.  Even if they were talking about extra fees, they would be charged that amount on top of what ever figure they bought. Fees are not exclusive to Takara products.   I believe Meteor was around $170 or so. Mp-52 is available for around $200 without shipping.  That is only a $30 difference in the base price...not $275. 
 

if you don't like mp-52, thats fine. You don't have to. But don't add $75 to the pre order price and say its too expensive or not worth the extra money. 
 

I know there are huge price differences in canada and australia and other parts of the world. I am just talking about shipping to the states and paying with the dollar.  No one is charging $275 for mp-52. 

Mp-52 isn't $275. Amazon Japan and Amiami have him for $202.  Hlj has him for $230 and the most expensive I saw was $265 at bbts. You can get it shipped from japan for less than what bbts is charging.  I see these comments all over tfw....”I'm not paying $275-$300 for mp-52”. Why would you? No one is charging that much.  
 

it seems like every time a new MP is announced, the detractors like to add a non existent $40-$70+ to its pre order price simply to complain that the price is too high.  With Mp-44, so many people were saying “i refuse to pay $500 for a toy”. Again, why would you when no one was charging $500 for it.  Its like they look for the most expensive pre order price simply to complain...while completely ignoring all the much cheaper options. 

Pre-ordered with amiami. I think it looks fantastic. 

In another d!ck move by hasbro, two of the most wanted figures, firefly and cobra viper are target exclusives. They will be impossible to find except on ebay for close to $100.
