Why is GX-56 so much harder to find--in comparison to GX-55 and GX-54. And when do I see it on Ebay, it is so expensive. Why is this the case for this robot vs it's other two accompanying buddies?

I'm not familiar with the Anime or it's characters, so I can't comment much on this area.
However, East Asian culture is deeply seeped with Dragon mythology. Dragon is considered an auspicious symbol and in the olden days the emblem of the Emperor of China. My guess would be, it will most likely be quite a huge seller in countries like HK, Taiwan, Singapore, China, Korea and of course Japan.
Well that's my two cents worth. Given the choice to choose one, I would definitely choose the GX-56 for the reason above!

My guess is because of the Zerokage figure. Out of the Tobikage Trio, Gx-54 to GX-56, Bakuryu is the weakest, with few metal parts and just bad Transformation. But the Zerokage figure with the abundance of accessories is the only thing I like about this release.

I think Gold is right. It's hard to find because less were released. I happened to be in HK the week it was released, and it was sold out everywhere, including the Bandai distributor, within 2-3 days. Reviews on this set aren't particularly good. People, myself included, didn't like how it transforms because the pins on the hinges to widen the main body wants to come out during transformation.

It's not as "perfect" as many SOCs, and it's not die cast heavy, but I still really like mine.

yea just the lose robots as he stated on the fs page. I loved it as I was looking for just the robots and I don't care much about the box nor the figures. It was a perfect match,not to mention I love the strawberries smell on them.

I just discovered that my spouse got this for me for Christmas. I am so happy. I know that I will also get GX-51. I will now have every single color version of the SOC series from GX-01 to 56. I know, I know I am a bit behind. Fortunately, my birthday is not that far off from Christmas I hope to catch up completely soon...
