just received mine today and its lighter than i thought honestly, glad i kept my GX-04S because this might looks good and anime accurate but cant hold a candle next to the classic GX-04 (Spazers of course) i like those early artworks for the characters also the box artwork looks good as well and guys this set also have oil on it! i swear im not joking and this is from a different store yet it felt oily ! does any one else have this issue ?

They always oil plastic for preservation, or it happen sometime the plastic sweat a bit in the form of oil.
Simply clean using hand soad and water

Hmmm.. looking at Charles review (pleasure as always) it gave me a somewhat lukewarm feeling to it. More about the price and it being so hollow and lacking gimmicks. Otherwise the models look solid and will look great on the shelf. Box art is also very nice.

I have seen this mostly with vinyl stuff. Never saw this with ABS plastic.
I didn't receive mine yet, but they probably used oil in joint or in between part so it won't get stuff.
This is what I meant by "sweating". It may be an excess, or the change in temperature or humidity, that made the oil leak.

dont get your hopes high just saying lol I already know the Drill Spazer and Marine Spazer are somehow light and without diecast. It was a sh*t move from Bandai. But I'm just happy that soon I will own the full set for Grenndizer since I missed the chance with GX-04S. The will look excellent after putting them together.

The lack of diecast has a valid reason. It helps balance the weight of the figure when posing it. If they had included diecast, the figure most likely would fall back all the time when standing. From a design point I totally understand why they did it that way. I also appreciate that they sold them as a separate set, that way those who didn’t want them, didn’t have to buy them. I understand how in the mind of the collectors diecast equals quality but in some cases diecast just isn’t ideal for a figure. I also understand how you would assume that diecast would work in every scenario based on some existing figures but we most remeber that just because it worked well with a particular figure, doesn’t mean that its ideal for every figure out there

i agree with most of the points you mentioned
the way i see it, when they say they made it all plastic for engineering purposes or for better weight distribution, i could kinda understand, even tho they did combiners in the past with ton diecast and managed to give them decent articulation with no problems
thing is they shouldn't ask for that high price for all plastic set that comes with almost nothing, this set cost almost as the GX-76 or the GX-76X and those two have alot of stuff in the box to kinda justify the price
speaking of the GX76X why the Spazer doesn't have any diecast in it ? most of the time Grendizer will be laying there or it will be displayed alone so i really found it hard to go with (its for better balanced figure) excuse
i know we talked alot about this subject, but its truly an annoying thing specially when you pay diecast money for all plastic figure, i hope they treat the DX better than this

just finished my photography for GX-76X2
it was done before i know it lol, i thought it will be a troublesome to combine Grendizer with the drill Spazer but it was so smooth i did it from the very first try lol, first time everrrrr
the GX-76X2 got the look for sure, but it cant hold a candle next to the GX-04X set, i found the paint on the GX-76X2 is less striking than the paint on the GX-04X also the combination for the drill Spazer is a bit complicated
the best thing about this set is when you combine all the of the GX-76's into one huge display, it just amazing
i like it overall but still the price is higher than it should and the sad truth it will even go higher since its a TWE item, so if you are a hard core Grendizer fan like me this set is calling you
forgot to mention that my GX-76 Grendizer was in his box since the day i bought it i only took it out for photos, and i notice the left elbow joint keep dropping the arm for some reason ?! does any one else have this problem ?

Mine is still somewhere. AirMail from Japan to Canada is slow.
Can't wait to get the full set.
As I said before, just plastic is ok but the paint must be perfect. The DC line is much more articulated so plastic is good.
