Id be jumping to get this usually to display both or all 3 modes in this case,but Daitarns vehicle modes are frankly ,ugly.Ill display both in robot mode with different weapons.too bad such dull and contrived vehicle modes.Actually Daitarn is a satire of 70s Super robot shows. Yeah I preorderd,just wish vehicle modes looked like something hahaa. He will stand next to my anime colored one I guess.

Like the bbts price. Considering they have so many tho, this may go on clearance. I'll keep the preorder and then decide come May based on how many are left whether or not to keep it or wait for a sale.

I actually had the first SOC but had to sell it for funds. Felt like Dioja was like a proxy Daitarn anyways but with a cool transformation. But now I'm tempted, the colors on this version do look super nice.

Gonna skip it and let my money vote. I want the original one. Not this recolour that should NOT be GX-65!!

I thought about skipping it but decided to order it anyways at HLJ after seeing more pictures and the fact that it has a better weapon stand this time around. I also like how the colours "POP' a lot more with this one in comparison to the original. I do however agree with you 100% that it should not be GX-65. It should be a renewal designation just like Mazinger GX-01R was. It's like Bandai thinks they can give it a new number just because it has a new stand with it.

I have to agree with many, that this version's colors look great. Even though it's not anime accurate in color, the colors do pop just like GC8 Monkey stated above.

I caved in.
I hope the similar repaint of Zambot 3 is actually in the works, otherwise I'm gonna feel like an utter fool.

I wouldn't worry about Tryder it's coming it will take awhile, look at Danguard it was almost a year later since we first saw the prototype. As for the numbering I guess Bandai thinks that since it's a re-color and has a new base it deserves a new number. I personally think they just went with GX-65 so to keep the look that the line is continuing and not confuse new buyers with going back a number. Honestly I could care less it's just a number and a way to help identify a figure, I just go by release to release now.

Now that I see the price, its actually more than the original, specially for a repaint with a simple base. Plus I don't see the transforming car in the official pics anywere.

Are you guys sure it's coming with the hangar stand they showed at tamashii or is it a retooled base that holds all the weapons and parts?
I am torn. I really like the new colors except for the head crest, but if it's going to be lacking accessories I guess I may wait and get the original release.
I was with chachipower power a few months ago and he showed me the original gx-53 (figure only) and the transforming mach attacker and I was impressed with the size of daitarn.
Do you think they plan to recolor Daioja or zambot?

I have not seen any pictures or data saying it does come with the hangar stand.

I have not seen any pictures or data saying it does come with the hangar stand. Right, my brother keeps telling me every retail description for it says "retooled" or "redesigned" base for accessories.

Only base shown is that typical SOC style one with the name of the bot. I don't remember the original coming with it, just something to hang the weapons.
If this one came with the transforming car and the big hangar display then the price would be great.

So there is a piece missing from this one? Cause the price isn't that much different than getting the original at this point.

Ahhh...so maybe thats the reason why bandai called it the gx-65 instead of gx-53r, not a straight forward repaint but redesigning the weapons stand. Well, just maybe.

So Guys it comes with the car. I am not getting this one because I have a very strong feeling that it will end up in the discount bin within 2 months after its release. So I am going to wait it out for now. =)
