The CM's has not aged well at all and putting it next to the SOC makes it even more apparent. Yeah you can nitpick the SOC, but when compared to it's older competition, for every thing you can argue the SOC did wrong there's 10 things that it did right to make up for it.

Finally payed off my Star Gaogaigar set from BBTS. There was a tax added which I think has to do with the premium nature of this product. I am finally getting this set after waiting for a long long time.
Yeah. So my Star Gaogaigar set is at the warehouse. I cannot wait for actual shipping information.

Okay, finally got it in hand and I just had to get some things off of my chest. Firstly, I was really surprised as to how cheap they were. I'm not talking about the manufacturing quality. Instead, I'm making reference to the fact that they didn't even bother to include an extra transformable head or thruster/forearm parts with Stealth Gao II, meaning to say that you can't display the original Stealth Gao by itself as Stealth Gao II cannibalizes parts from it. Next up, I was actually surprised to see that they thought of the weight issues and added a support beam for the Gatling Driver arm shoulder joint. That was a nice touch. I also enjoyed the added internal mechanical detail that became visible with translucent engine parts. Overall, an excellent set with the usual excellent quality that's way too overpriced. Edit: Wow! The die-cast mechanical detail in the engines that are visible through the clear plastic is beautiful! Here are some quick pics with my phone:

I can't believe I am praising this set despite how it pretty much further bricks my SoC Gaogaigar but the sheer size and presentation has me loving this piece.
The stand really does help with the weight issue and it is possible to stand Star Gaogaigar by itself if one wants. It will just be a pain in the ass. The extra accessories work like they should with the exception of the Gattling Driver piece where I don't know if I am even putting it on properly as I feel it should click into place.
Well I spent a lot of money on the SoC Gaogaigar and I don't mind at all. I do wish for more high end Brave figures but it may be a look on while before another Brave Robot or entry will get the SoC treatment.

Cool. Seeing that display base with Goldymarg hammer "holder" makes this option set even more essential. Dammit... just too expensive to complete.

Hey Actar...what's going on in those cabinets back there? Haha, been an anime fan my whole life and a collector for almost a decade and that's just a small portion of my entire collection. (^.^ The cabinets in question house my dolls (top half) and part of my prop replica collection (bottom half). To the right of that is half of my TV set-up with shelves for smaller robot and human figures from various anime. Many of my robots are in the back, but there are some Macross Chogokins under the TV. Going to have to move to a new location soon, so I'll have to re-organize everything into a series of new display cases... Not really looking forward to it, but it's going to be a great chance to take stock of everything. (^.^ Anyways, here are a couple more pics of Star GGG!

The Star Parts set is pretty nice, but I'm still pretty salty about it being P-Bandai and priced like a full SOC. They could have at least included a second set of forearms for Stealth Gao II. :C

Hey guys. Any of you have experience with GGInfinite? When I first emailed him(GundamGuy) I received a response fairly quick. Now, I haven't gotten another reply since it's past the day he said they were receiving their stock. I just want to know if there was a delay in their receive date. I've already sent 3 emails within the past 2 weeks. Bad customer service if you can't reply to your customers especially those that paid in full for a product.

They deliver, but their customer service fails. One time my order was delayed for months and they never bothered telling me, its only cause i remembered that i started bugging them and i finally got it. Then they posted they got their preorders in for some model kits on facebook and im sitting here a week later and still no shipping notification. They have a phone number listed on their site. Try calling them, i had to do that last week when i ordered 2 SRCs and i got only one so i got pissed. Called them and it turned out that they were shipped separately but I only got one tracking number and no one bothered telling me that

I know you ordered this set from them too. I'll try calling later when they open. Hope they're not the same company as CornerstoreComics. That company's customer service went to crap when they changed management. Kept giving me the run around on shipping my Hot Toys Iron Patriot back then even though they charged my card. Turned out they never even got him in stock. EDIT: Well I called their phone and somebody picks up right away. Asked to check on my order. Said they just received this and will be shipping out today or tomorrow and to wait for an email with tracking info.
