Did anyone buy the PX-03 ( AKIRA kaneda's bike )? I'm not much of a fan the AKIRA anime, but I think the bike looks cool. What do you guys think of the SOC rendition of the red bike? Is it worth it? It probably is for SOC completist.

We were talking about it some recently in the general discussion forum. It's a killer item. Large diecast content, lots of removable pieces so you can see the diecast internals, beautiful decals and chrome, rubber wheels and working shocks, full external paintjob. The only problem is that the kaneda figure is too big, so I just display the bike alone.

Great toy!!! I got one recently and have some pics posted in the General forum. The removable panels are so seemlessly integrated into the toy that anyone looking from up close won't even know the diecast details hidden inside. Great to look at and pick up every now and then but no real other gimmicks... other than trying out which figures fit on it. I find the microman figs fit perfectly. I just need to find a way to customize one to resemble Kaneda...

Initially, I didn't think much of the PX-03 ( AKIRA Kaneda's bike ). Yet the selling price of US$29 at a local toy shop was difficult to resist. In any case, after purchasing it and displaying it with the rest of my collection, I'd say I got a bargain. The PX-03 is awesome. It has lots of diecast and great detail.
BTW, I was looking at the Chogokin Chronicle book and noticed that the PX-03 has a limited edition set. It's devoid of stickers and doesn't come with the Kaneda figure. Does anyone have this?
