This baby was from the Tokyo Toy Show, but E-hobby have a chance for some people to get some. Before everyone gets all excited though, I must point out its going to be very, very tricky to get a new one.

For a start, it is limited to those with a Japanese address (or access to) then, it is limited to cash only (COD, No credit card payments accepted), only 1 HCC per customer. Finally, after going to the effort of acquiring the formerly stated, the order goes into a competition and not every order will get one.

Having said that, ordering through the site is open for 1 week from today. I've given it a go and hope I get one.

Be interesting to see how pricey this baby is on secondary markets and how many were available at the toy show.

Thanks for the reminder, i've got to try this tonight! Is the COD only for paying for delivery?

I've been scouring eBay for them. $160 is a good price atm and will only appreciate w/ time. I'm trying to get 1 more but if anyone ever wants one, grab 'em now. Waiting and u'll be looking at an extra $100-$200 in years to come.

BT-17 was easier to get than this guy

Nope, COD for the purchase price, delivery and a ￥315 fee for using COD.

They tell you to go for COD and if you even though you can go through with a credit card payment, they tell you to redo the order again anyway. Hope I win one!

Is it really winning if I am paying for it?


Good luck for those who enter.

Even street price in Japan is crazy. My friend tried to score a few extras but some shops in Akihabara were selling it for 19800 yen, not much difference from eBay prices. Cheapest is Yahoo Japan but they only ship locally. And there's virtually none left on the street of Hong Kong, good price or not. Like STL said, this is clearly BT17 again...

Eeeewwwww yuck.

It's exclusivity is the only thing that gives that thing any worth.

Transparent transformers = mega epic fail.

AHEM, umm..... I mean, you won't have any competition from me whatsoever for it.

You should ask Fatbot how much his 2 set him back?

3500JPY (approx $35-40) is actually a pretty reasonable price for a Voyager. I still wouldn't get one - the toy just doesn't interest me, but I don't think it's overpriced.

It is now overpriced though...
I would get 2 if it is still available at 3500 JPY.
