My 06 re-issue also has some paint problems around the silver area of the right arm......I think this ver is slightly better than 2003 ver but not as good as the 1st issue.

I just finished combining my Combattler and volting in my Voltes yesterday. I can't help feeling that the plastic wing of Battlemarine is so cheap... My Combattler comes with a loose right elbow, I tried to tighten the elbow joint but it doesn't work - have to try something else later. While combining, I noticed that connection of the Battletank and Battlecrasher (the chest) are very-very prone for paint chipping. Connection is tight, though. My other gripe is, other than the Battletank and Battlecraft wheels, none of the wheels of the other vehicle are working wheels!! Leg articulation are also limited, no forward/backward movement on the thigh, makes me wonder why the knee articulation is present. The gattai engineering is amazing though, although it can't rival the Voltes, because parts removal are required for gattai. I found almost no paint bubbles, except a few here and there on secluded spot. Mine comes with scratches on the left forearm - a problem I will try to fix with some compound. Verdict - 7.5 out of 10 On the other hand, the Voltes is simply amazing. The gattai is almost perfect with no need to remove parts (except for the wheels in Voltbomber). Mine comes with almost no noticeable paint imperfections - just a few bubble here and there. The connections between parts are very tight and secure, including the one between Voltpanzer and Voltfrigate. I can pick up the Voltes and hold him on the torso without fear of the legs falling off. Die cast content is also very high making this 'bot very heavy. One minor problem is that the Voltbomber is kind of loose and flappy, but since I only keep it combined, it doesn't matter very much to me. Final verdict - 9,5 out of 10. Since never owned any of the old DX toys - please keep in mind that these are just my humble opinions. Thanks for the review, I will skip Combattler V. Voltes V on the other hand is amazing. And I don't need to remove any parts to combine it. All the wheels can stay in place, they don't interfere at all.

megatroptimus: You're welcome man. I believe Combattler should receive a better score if you don't compare it with Voltes. But comparing with Voltes... it doesn't stand very much chance. I think you should get it, because you want to complete the Nagahama Romance Trilogy when (if) Daimos comes out!

A quick question. Since there are some differences with the 3 versions, will the price of the original 1999 release goes up after awhile?
