You're gonna have to wait until Thursday or Friday to look again, as it is currently Golden Week over in Japan right now and shops there are usually closed or at least half-open on their websites for it. Thank you. I do have a lot to learn It's all good. Just so you know, SOCs are an import money-pit, so be prepared for the nostalgia expenses and stuff. Also, GX-03 (even GX-50) is old toy tech so even tho the old SOCs like it are big, mostly metal and heavy, the various available articulations and stuff from it can be frustrating when trying to pose in certain ways. Just try to be smart with your money. Most of us here hunts for deals for months and even years for SOCs we missed out on. I don't have it, but I think the newly-released (in japan) GX-65 is the best big oldie SOC in terms of articulation and stuff, but it's about US$200 plus shipping and I'm not sure you're even familiar with the goofy anime it came from to get any nostalgia-value from it. As such, here's a pic of my various SOCs and other toys from last year regarding the GX-03 sizing:

I wish they made a combattler in that line. Its much more affordable. LOL

Thanks I liked the review. i also checked out the sites. nothing today You're gonna have to wait until Thursday or Friday to look again, as it is currently Golden Week over in Japan right now and shops there are usually closed or at least half-open on their websites for it. Ya is 3000yen (New) at mandrake which i cannot resist it also at that time i was planning to buy GX-50 but after i received the GX-03 i was like OMG this figure should worth at least USD100 and then i no longer plan to purchased the GX-50 as the GX-03 is good enough. below picture is showing the GX-03 with other chogokin figure.

I have the GX-03, It's really heavy and the paint is really nice... The figure is a little flimsy standing up but hey, for 70-80 bucks, the GX-03 soooo worth it...

Personally I'd rather just wait and hope they reissue GX-50 instead of buying GX-03 now and then kicking myself in the head when they do and I could get the better version at a lower price.
Granted, if you live in the US, you'd probably have a lot less trouble finding a potential buyer to dump the GX-03 on than I do.

On a side note is there any real difference between the gx-04 and 04s? Just curious

No GX-04S is just GX-04 and GX-04X in one combined pack.

Wow. I have not been in the market for Soc for awhile. I can not believe Combattler V GX 50 is selling with buy it now price of $425 to $500 (unrealistic) on Ebay. The MSRP was around $160?
What is a realistic price for combattler V gx 50?

hmmmm i dont think its a good time to buy either GX-03 or GX-50 because they might do an R version or an 40th anniversary version theres alot of SOC i want to buy but it will be stupid if i just got one and they announced a new version

Also, GX-50 counts as a renewal version, if you ask me but I'd still go for GX-03, personal preferences. Also, if you like an SoC, or just any toy, why wait for the thing to be remade better? Just buy it, if you liked it before you'll like it even after something better comes along, right?

I don't like my GX-03, it's so flimsy. I prefer my GX-50, I believe that this is a more sturdy version--at least mine is....

I prefer my GX-50, I believe that this is a more sturdy version--at least mine is.... exactly GX-50 is much improved than the GX-03

Even with the "improvements", I don't think the GX-50 is worth more than $150 before shipping, tbh. Definitely not worth the current scalper pricing of US$500+ at all.
In fairness, I don't think the GX-03 is worth more than US$90 before shipping.
