Thanks Tragichero Lol, thanks thesilent, yeah, had long day, sorry about that. ;D Thanks, Lejam, sorry I totally forgot to try combining Big Shooter with SOC Shin Jeeg but I see no reason why the connections won't work, as they're both magnets. I didn't try putting in Shin Jeeg onto the Big Shooter, but I don't think all the parts will fit in, particularly the robust shoulders on Shin Jeeg. I think the legs will most likely fit in as there's a lot of space in the compartment. I'm out of town right now so I can't try an actual test until I get home in a month or so. Oh, also forgot to mention, the magnets are super, super strong on the Big Shooter!!!! You literally have to apply some force to pluck some sections apart. Thanks Mazingetter, yeah I know, I was just stating that the Panzeroid didn't fit since I mentioned the "all the weapons fit in" thing and the Panzeroid is techincally a weapon of Jeeg's Edit: I edited the review a bit. Enjoy. Gold

Another great review Gold! I had to have the Big Shooter as soon as I saw it announced. I would have bought it even if it was made out of styrofoam!!! ;D There are just not enough Big Shooter toys in this planet... ;D

Got my full set today : Jeeg + Big shooter. I paid too much on ebay, but....
THIS-IS-A-CRAZY-RELEASE !
I am very happy to have this CM's release... My first decision was to not collect CM's brave Gokin and stay focused on SOCs, but this one can really fit to any SOC collection... I choosed the regular color version (anime) to get closer to a SOC paint.
First, I was surprised by the side of each box : huge ! Opening Jeeg box (-> STYRO included) gave me this vintage Popy feeling : a flat massive box with all components displayed in plastic wrap in each styro socket. Jeeg got a lot of spare parts to play with and combine. Then, opening the Big Shooter box was the "sequel movie" I just watched. Crazy and huge Spacer for this Jeeg.
Tomorrow (now it's 10:41 pm, means no light), I will take a pic to compare GX-04 with this set to let you have a very good opinion...
Aaaaaah.... crazy set...
^__^ Special thanks to Gold and his review for helping me not to hesitate this time about purchasing this superb toy.

See another member realizes that CMS is a great company,unlike several members who are stuck on hating CMS because of some old plastic motorcycle.WAKE UP! CMS is a great company,just because it doesnt say BANDAI on the box doesnt mean its second rate.Actually I prefer CMS over SOC as they do more of the Robot subjects I like and arent afraid of obscurity.Now with the Jeeg stuff I hope more people can be convinced.Congrats LJam you made a good purchase.Now we wait for the extra jeeg parts in Sept.!

See another member realizes that CMS is a great company... Off course CM's is a good company, but I allready spent a lot of money in my SOC collection... so running after all Brave Gokin release could be a true bankruptcy...

CM's hit a homerun with the Koutetsu Jeeg. Their Gordian was great! Their Ga Keen was awesome! If they ever release their Gaiking and Neo Getters they will be spectacular! But the Jeeg, as pricey as it is, has quickly become their flagship! Like I always say, just because it is not a Bandai SOC doesn't mean it can't be the best. Keep supporting smaller companies!!! ;D Help the world's economy!!! }D

It does look very nice! Too bad the prices for the Limited Black Jeeg and Big Shooter are so high, otherwise I would have been all over them. I just can't justify spending so much on a black version of any figure (Mazinger included!) ;D

That's caused by import costs from Italy to US: prices in Italy were identical for the normal and black Big Shooter versions.

WOW! Congrats Johnny0! That is one sweet haul! Quick question, are the pilot figures black and grey too? Or are they the same colors as the normal color version? Congrats again Gold
