just bought this a few days ago on eBay for 179. I thought that was a great deal being that I usually see it for 350-400 bucks. I can't wait til it comes. the seller had free shipping so it'll take about 4 weeks for delivery from Japan I haven't seen much about this set online, but from what little I have seen, people really like it. the gun arm parts look very cool in pics. and we can't forget about the griffon! I will take some pics and review it when I get it, but do any of you guys have it, and what's your thoughts on it?

I think its a fair price if u ask me.. Last time i know it usually sells in Japan at 25k to 30k yen. Its quite ridiculous that its more expensive than GX-48 itself hehehe.. i admit back then, its one of those exclusives i would never get to own. but luckily, I managed to get hold of a store piece displayed GX-48 bundled with the expansion set at very affordable price. If u have a GX-48 Big O.. be true to yourself.. dont deny it.. u know at the back of your mind.. Big-O needs that expansion set to be a complete display piece! lol if u can find a good price.. get it while its still around. Its one of those releases that i think we will never see a reiissue again. Its real cool. congrats BTW.

congrats. its very cool indeed.
i hate Bandai for making that jerk move, especially at that price. i continually wish there wil be a rogue third party whod make things like this at a sane price. just to slap Bandai around a bit for pulling stunts like this. but cant deny how cool the set looks and the xclusivity of the set.
i got two GX 48 s but i doubt ill ever own the parts set....cant wait for your take on it.

four weeks is a loooong time. I'm already chomping at the bit! lol.
I found Charles review of it recently, he was so excited. it seemed really well thought out and applied.
I guess after this set, that only thing that's missing is big-o's final mode. but that would probably have to be built into the figure and that's most likely never happening.
strange that you really don't see much talk about this piece. I'm really new to the SR collection world. was this really that rare when it came out?

One thing I loathed about the Gx-48 was that it could have at least come with Roger's car...

dude. that thread is MINT. tons of great pics and info. thanks. I searched but couldn't find it. I wonder why? I would've done some necromancy and raised that dead one instead of making a new one.

We could always ask an admin to merge the 2 threads you choose pal. Oh, and congrats on your buy, I know those sets don't usually run that cheap, hehe.

Yeah, not sure why but the search function doesn't really work. You'll love the set. I don't feel that the GX-48 is complete without it.

I lucked out when the Big-O I got from Mandarake came with Roger's car. Otherwise, I would have bought the extra set too. I do kinda feel bad for the poor sap who bought the extra set from Mandarake.

oh boy! I just got my expansion set last night. it came in a huge shipping box. I almost forgot about this until I opened it. I was super excited. the shipping never updated beyond saying it was coming the end of August so I had no idea it was here!
I love love love this set. I played with big-o all night. I swapped heads to the larger one that came with the set and I'm keeping that one on.
the gun arms are beautiful. and so are the chains.
thanks for the advice guys. this set really does take the cool factor of big-o up 1000 notches.

Congrats, I still have a hard time finding one with a justifiable price. It just feels so wrong to spend more on the accessories than the robot they are meant for.

just asking.. how much is the "right" price for u then? Lol, not more than a hundred bucks or even just a bit more. If I can't find the right price then I'll just try to make the accessories myself. I just wish they included the car with big-o as he really is skimpy on the accessories that are with the figure. But even without the accessory pack this is still one of my favorite soc's.
