I just purchase a GX-47 for $24.99 (okay, the shipping cost $25). I wasn't going to get this because I was OD-ing on Mazinger for a while (I was also so over red robots!!!). But the SOC completist in me just had to get one... Plus, I purchased it for under $50 (one of the cheapest SOC's I've ever purchased).
Do you guys like this robot? I think the motorcycle and ramp is pretty cool, though the pilder concept is a better choice (glad they went for this idea for show). Overall, I am glad to have this guy because I wanted the more rare black and white version a few years ago. I saved a lot of money by getting this GX-47!!!

I think its a solid figure and worth getting the price on this varies - its been dropping in price since its release . I guess the red color turned off many collectors .

Is the price drop for GX-47 one of the most dramatic decreases? I've never seen quite like it... $24.99!!! For me--without the shipping cost--this is the least most expensive SOC purchase I've done.
Yeah, I wasn't going to get it at first... But here it is, in my hands. Same goes to GX-50. I don't like my GX-03 Combattler (I've always felt that it's a Voltes V knock-off and my robot is so flimsy--it's my most damaged SOC), Nevertheless, I got it.
I am such a slave to the SOC line. It's sometimes hard to be a completist (color version only). No, I take it back, it's lots of fun. I am now just running out of space in my 2 Aikea shelves (I also have the BPX's Specs, PX's, etc...).

i guess a lot of people OD-ed on maz. But, I think the red GX-47 looks good after in a sea of black mazingers.

Good point, tanover. I want a green Mazinger! Green is my favorite color and I have also OD-ed on the typical robot colors... Red, blue, gold and silver... Enough already!!!

I've noticed the precipitous drop in price over time as well. I like the figure and for around $50 it's a steal.

I think it was just a overload of Mazinger products and the fact that the colors are not your traditional Mazinger ones that lead to a less than stellar sales of this figure. But just looked at as a figure by it's self it's actually a pretty nice toy with a lot of metal and excellent articulation.
