Nice pics I received some day ago. aesthetically it's not bad. Some joins anyway are arguable, they could be done better. according to me, shoulders and elbows first. The foot joint is not bad and it works (dependings how you pose the model) but it's not so beautiful to see. The red color missiles I really don't like, I think it doesn't make sense that christmas red. Tha bazooka it's simple, nothing to say... Tha horse is all plastic and averybody of us already Knew, anyway nice job. The shields are nice, may be the best accessories that cm's did. The trasformable head... It's really ugly. I'd prefer 3 figures of the cyborg not trasformable but beatiful to see anche a 2 step transformig of the head, insead one trasformable like this. Usually I don't care if something impossible to do is missing, so somthing lke bandai did with gx 06 for me it would be the best choice... The machanism of the knucle bomber it' a pain... eny second it shoot... really annoying In the end I think that the product it's a good job especially thanks the little caps provided. I think that the right value is 6,5, and the max to spend it's 200 euro...

Not sure what you mean by the red color missiles doesn't make sense. From what I remember, that is how they are colored in the cartoon, poster art, as well as the older toys.

Well I don't really like Jeeg that much but I must admit it is a great piece of work & it is better than the GX-42 from Bandai. I hope I will have an opportunity to get one at a good price.

Most, if not all, cm's figures are quite expensive compared to the bandai soc counterparts. Some times they drop in price and go into a clearance bin, like the super expensive cm's barattack did not long ago and baldios before that, but there are some that just sell out before their price even drops, like gordian. I hope this cm's jeeg follows barattack's footsteps so I can buy it cheaper, but it being such a famous character that may not ever happen.

Its not that we don't know how pricey (overpriced) this Jeeg is, but a number of us do feel that it is worth it as long as its not a flop. Ever since the original GX-01 showed up, I have dreamt of getting a Jeeg with full magnets and modern toy engineering. So I am not gonna let $230 + shipping stand in my way of getting it, after waiting for more than a decade. And doesn't hurt when I got Gakeen as well, loads of magnet fun.

But the bandai soc jeeg did not come with baruba or as many accessories as the cm's, and it can barely stand up without doing a faceplant at the slightest touch or vibration.

I'm curious why the Jeeg SOC is so hard to find on the secondary market for a good price, considering people have such a negative view of it (as noted above). I see a couple on ebay, but the price is still high. I would have expected to have been able to find one for a more affordable price by now, but no such luck. I guess that despite the poor qualities of the item, people still want to keep it.

Few months back when CM's Jeeg was available for pre order price, I hesitate to get it right away because of: - it's way too expensive for a small chogokin (compared to GX-60 God Sigma which I did pre order it, for a cheaper price) - There's a chance of bad quality item, since magnetic joint is quite trivial (remember what happened to GX-42 Shin Jeeg ) - Most of the CM's brave gokins price in the end will drop ... well, except for the most 'popular robots'. But after it released, I notice that my considerations are wrong. Turned out it's good enough for a magnetic joint chogokin, the paint job is also good, and people suddenly on a rush to get them. No wonder now we're hardly finding em with a reasonable after-release price. As for the secondary market, I think most people who bought it are quite happy. So I rushed myself to get one, and eventually I got it just slightly a bit higher than the pre order price. I believe the price of this release won't dropped in the future, even gets higher. So if you have some money to spend, might as well get it now

Ah yes, there was already another thread for this Big Shooter release. Should get it too for the Jeeg.

I still yet to pick up this Jeeg myself - and it is getting more expensive and diffcult to find one.
I hope they will have a Complete Set Box version release, as well as an individual Big Shooter set.
