I did not buy a subscription and I still got my Red Lion and Lance for $65 shipped. Only incentive the subscription has is the Sven figure.

Now that this topic has branched off in this direction, I'll take the opportunity to ask: Since Mattel is no longer offering the subscription, are the only options to get the set at this point a) fight the scalpers on Mattycollector for each release and pick up the red lion on ebay or b) wait until the whole set is out in the world and pick it up on the aftermarket?

Yeah but much of the masses can't buy it from the matty website, once they are gone. It will certainly cost more at other places on the net. It is still too pricey if you ask me.

Matty will probably reissue it after awhile ,and might add some extra articulation and other stuff if you wait patiently. There might be a chance that it might be cheaper later but these things usually are pricey ,and after when they stop making them. Their prices do go up dramatically as I've noticed on ebay and other places.

it already out shines the mattel voltron

Last comment on this and then everything gets focused back onto the initial topic. I did not mean for this to explode like this.

You are talking about after market prices. What I'm focused on is current price. Doesn't matter what everyone else pays later on. Mattycollector Voltron does not costs $600 to assemble. That's what I was aiming at here. Vehilcle Voltron costs about as much as the Mattycollector Lion Force will when it's done.

Again, initial costs was what I was focusing on. Not aftermarket. I'm tired of this argument.

Anyways, if I had the extra cash that I wasn't devoting to a Samurai Haoh, I would probably be interested in Vehicle Voltron.

One of these days, I'll sit down and watch the show.

I preordered it as soon as I saw it was available. Vehicle Voltron was the first Voltron I ever saw when I was a kid, and I have always considered it the best. I've got several versions of the Lion team, but the Vehicle team has been almost impossible to find a version of. It's nice to see that finally changing.

Hell my Voltron Sub is way cheaper then this thing

this is going to go sooo well with my masterpiece voltron

any info on production numbers? mp voltron was 15k wonder if this will be similar especially considering the price is almost double.

Looks like I spoke too soon. I just got am email saying that my preorder has been cancelled, and the listing removed. BBTS is doing so to avoid legal problems.
