you should have asked as cdjapan had several available at 22,000 yen

NY is selling at a ridiculous 35,500 yen excluding postage!

No worries. It was pre-ordered a long time ago.

I just had the time to opened mine today, have to say, is smaller than what I thought it was going to be. I forgotten how tall my version one was. lol

[jazzcomp]

Is it the same size as the previous GX-31V release?

yes it is, I have not seen it for over 4 years as I have been away that long.
I have Combatler V as well.

Volts V price increased to 36,500 yen! unbelievable. On ebay they go as high as $450.

Trust me, the toy isn't worth that much. lol

I believe the older GX-31V goes as high as $500-$600 on ebay before this version came out. And the regular GX-31 goes for $300.
That's why I just waited.

I think the Volts in box respect had more paint apps hence the price.

The first issue shouldn't be worth that much. The 40th one is just metallic finish instead of the normal paint version.

SOCs generally are not worth over $350 for any figure, but noted the GGG was already at $300 mark.
Most of them get reissued anyway, and even more regular than Transformers masterpieces.

I am surprised they haven't done some of the potential SOCs.
