Shoulders intact and Xigfrids Shapeways 3D replacement parts if they do ever break! I had forgotten how... fun.... the 171s are to transform when you haven't done it in a while.. LOL. YouTube and Jenius to the rescue! I really do love the color scheme! Great score. I saw it in the for sale section and passed on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that finale in Brazil with Vettel going backwards on the first lap! yeah it was a good year for F1 eh! the last few years have been a bit on the boring side.. im really hoping this year will be much more interesting with the new rules! can't wait to see the cars upon reveal with the new bigger rubber! bout bloody time they did this! though some of the new rules are still questionable.. 11 hours ago, derex3592 said: I've been on the fence with this one for a good long time.. finally caved and got an almost new from a member here!

I grew up watching Voltes V & Daimos too and those SOCs are part of my wanted list too. But I can't bring myself on getting a new line since there's a lot of Macross toys and other robots to collect. I think when I started getting exposed to Real Robot I totally forgot the Super Robot genre. And I don't want to buy Voltes V and Daimos just out of nostalgia sake. It's the same reason why I'm not planning on getting a 1/55 chunky monkey even just for nostalgia sake. For me, there's too many cool looking Real Robot figures like Macross toy now compared to the old chunky monkey. 5 hours ago, Mazinger said: You can almost see their tails swishing.

brouken Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hey guys, after seeing your pics of the SOC Voltron/Golion, I'm partially convinced to have a go at it. I've missed the pre-orders so the prices have skyrocketed quite a bit. The cheapest one I can find now is USD 299.99 without shipping. Is there a cheaper option available? Thanks!

derex3592 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I've been looking as well..Amazon has it listed for 299 with free prime shipping, but doesn't have stock yet. It's says 1/31. Everywhere else I've seen that's reputable is 299 plus shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickyg Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Love this figure! I had the one from the '80s as a kid (can't remember who made it - Bandai?) and had so much fun with it. No idea which one of my siblings eventually inherited it but it's long gone now. Seeing the pics brings back some great memories! And Saburo - that last one is just all kinds of awesome!

derex3592 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Screw it! Ordered through Amazon and signed up for the Prime Visa CC which knocked off $70! So if they ding me with tax it'll be $250, if not $230 shipped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
