nice very nice, i was expecting this to cost somewhere the $300+ mark,i mean thats pretty much what a SoC would cost. Is not a surprise since this thing is like 10+ inch tall as well its gonna be a heavy figure overall as well how the economy is affecting the materials to make this.
Im also noticing they did add the fist gimmick coming out of the Stealth Gao thrusters which is awesome as well we can confirm its gonna bring smaller hands for those that do not like the articulated ones size.

Yup this is the SOC for me. I can't wait to see how Bandai's tackled this guy's transformation. Time to start saving now!

That's 32,400yen including 8% tax which we don't pay. So minus the 8% then say roughly 20-25% for pre-order discounts. Still expensive but still way cheaper then a lot of stuff out there.

I was right about the release window but good grief that price. Not even a big heavy guy like God Mars was this expensive. Even with amiami discounts I hate to see the shipping on this bad boy. To make matters worse for me that's when MP Ultra Magnus is scheduled for release....

Dammit. And I was hoping on starting to clearing my backlog by February.
I seriously hope this gets delayed.

Seeing how I'm interested in getting this bad boy, plus the Maz and Voltes from the 40th anniversary... Sigh, I won't be able to get anything else for a while, I need to save up and stay ready for preorders. This GaoGaiGar is gonna be a pain for our wallets also no Goldy? Not even as a TWE?

also no Goldy? Not even as a TWE? It'll probably appear later.

I don't know... It sure is the best GGG gokin so far, but that price tag is a bit outrageous. I understand with all the deducted tax and discount, it won't be as bad. But same can be said to pretty much all previous cheaper purchase as well. When SOC hitting 25000yen mark, its already pushing its limit. But 32500yen is a lot more than 25000yen. And it has no Star parts nor Goldy.
Ultimately, I might still end up buying one (even though I have quite a few CM's GGGs already). But the price tag makes me much less of a happy camper. More like a grumpy one.

Yeah, it is almost as expensive as the DX SOC Mazinger Z! I'm sure it will be discounted upon pre-orders open, like 20% to 25%. However, the final tally, with EMS/FedEx/DHL/UPS expedited shipping (mandatory due to its price, box dimensions, and weight), it will be right up to the 32,500 JPY again. }|

Speaking of Goldion Hammer... it appears that the CM's one may be pretty much in scale. The drawback of course, is the elbow connection of the Goldymarg/GaoGaiGar. That will most likely will not be compatible at all. }D

Yeah, doubted Bandai will purposely make the arm connection fit's CM's Goldy. Instead, making it different so all the SOC owners will pitch in and buy their version of Tamashii Exclusive GoldyMarg, then the Tamashii Exclusive Star Parts. Soon enough, you'll realized you just spent 50000yen on a SOC GGG. (My CM's Star GGG only cost me $200 with everything).

Somehow I seriously doubt they'd release both this AND the 40th Ann. Mazinger/Aphrodite the same month.
