If the detail and final production looks like it, then it's asking price is ok. But giving that Voltron is a nitch market and people who grew up with the show would spend $$$$ on it. This isn't transformers which has a bigger fan base.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Thanks Luminous. No doubt the opportunity will present itself again like next week if not tomorrow. Let's have a relatively peaceful night.

All the people complaining on here just make me shake my head constantly..in every thread..for over a decade.. Some act as if 10-20 people on this forum not buying something is gonna hurt them and cause them to go under lol.. This forum and its people are a drop in the pan compared to the market share world wide.

Its also incredibly selfish and greedy to expect a polished diamond for the price of cubic zirconium. Really for nothing more then your own benefit and with zero regard for the business and all the people involved in producing these pieces from start to the time the reach our hands.

Is this cheap?..NOPE. Do you need it to survive...NOPE. Will your life be adversely effected by not getting this piece or any of them really?... NOPE.

This is a luxury hobby as stated for your own enjoyment, if you dont like it or cant afford it dont buy it. I really want a new explorer but I cant afford another car payment but I wont complain to Ford because the price is so high and I dont need a second new vehicle just to have one.

NOTHING talked about on this forum has anything to do with "the need to survive." This is a hobby forum which means all talk( positive and negative) should be seen within that scope and is therefore valid.

As for our opinions being a 'drop in the pan,' well not necessarily...In many cases, this forum is a RELATIVE test sample of the bigger picture of collector's worldwide. When we all say almost unanimously that something is overpriced and is not a slam-dunk purchase, although our opinions are a drop in a bucket, they are relative to a bigger silent majority that most likely thinks the same way.

We're not expecting to buy a polished diamond for the price of a cubic zirconium, we're expecting to buy a polished diamond for the price of a polished diamond.
