Allright!!! The Aoshima gokins do not have very much exposure in Indonesia, and I'm trying to spread the love around!! Hopefully, it will net them a better fanbase here.
Thanks a lot Erik and dri1. You Guys are the best!

Thanks for the kudos, Bro. At first, I relisted Chen's SOC timetable with some revision on the recently released product, and after giving it some thought, I might as well go with all the recent SOC super robot / equivalent. You can find my SOC list on the page 6 of the same link I posted previously.
Man, I cannot pass up your offer!! If it's not too much trouble, please take these pictures for me! I noticed that when you post your previous pics, you probably do not have these products in hand yet.
For the Max Factory and Brave Gokin bots, this is what I have so far (with some crosschecking at chogokin.net):
CMS Brave Gokin 1. BG-01 Gaogaigar, 12,800 YEN, 2004 2. BG-01 Gaogaigar real color version, ?YEN, 2004 3. BG-01x Gaogaigar Power Up set, 12,800 YEN, 2005 4. BG-02 Star Gaogaigar, 12,800 YEN, 2005 5. BG-02x Dimension Pliers, 4,200 YEN, 2006 6. BG-03 Genesic Gaogaigar, 20,000 YEN, 2006 7. BG-03 Genesic Gaogaigar, 20,000 YEN, 2006 8. BG-04 Raijin-Oh, 25,000 YEN, 2006 9. BG-04x Raijin-Oh Anime color, 26,000 YEN, 2006 10. BG-05 Gaofighgar, 18,900 YEN, 2006 11. BG-06 Gaigo, 12,390 YEN, 2006 11. BG-06 Gaigo real color ver with real color Gaogaigar and Gaofighfar parts, and normal color Star Gaogaigar and Plier parts 23,000/26,000YEN, 2006 12. BG-07 AV-98 Ingram 1 & 2 (movie version), 12,800 YEN, 2007 13. BG-07x AV-98 Ingram 1 & 3 (tv version), 12,800 YEN, 2007 14. BG-08 Goshogun, 12,800 YEN, 2007 I remember there were some "anime color" versions released, but could not remember which ones. If you'd be so kind to revise some of the facts or errors that I have made, it would greatly be appreciated. I didn't have trouble finding pictures of these in the internet, for they are still kind of recent. But please post anything that you think may be useful or not included yet.
Max Factory Max Gokin 1. Max Gokin Genesic Gaogaigar normal color ver , 2003 2. Max Gokin Genesic Gaogaigar metallic green color ver , 2003 3. Max Gokin Genesic Gaogaigar metallic gold color ver , 2003 4. Max Gokin Mazinkaiser, 2005 5. Max Gokin Godannar Twin Drive Mode, 17,800 YEN, 2006 For the Max gokin, the pictures that I have trouble finding were the green metallic and the gold version, also I did not remember the actual retail price of these products when they first came out. I might also have the release dates wrong too. Please feel free to correct these errors, and thank in advance for all the input!
UPDATE: Everybody is welcome to provide revision and input on these two lists ;D ;D!
UPDATE: -revision BG-07 AV-98 Ingram 1 & 3 (tv version), 12,800 YEN, 2007 to BG-07x -added BG-01x(?) Gaogaigar real color version -added BG-03x(?) Genesic Gaogaigar real color version -added BG-06x(?) Gaigo real color version

hey niko, for your list of Max Factory gokin i have all of them (even 2 of each of the green and gold Genesic GGG as well as 2 of the normal version. I remember that when i first bought them the green and gold were $185 each; not sure how much they are now) although i cannot remember what their prices are as they have all appreciated in value. as for the brave gokin list these are the numbers that you provided which i currently have in my collection: Brave Gokin 1. BG-01 Gaogaigar, 12,800 YEN, 2004 3. BG-02 Star Gaogaigar, 12,800 YEN, 2005 5. BG-03 Genesic Gaogaigar, 20,000 YEN, 2006 8. BG-05 Gaofighgar, 18,900 YEN, 2006 12. BG-08 Goshogun, 12,800 YEN, 2007 the list that you comprised seems to be very accurate in regards to both the Max and Brave Gokin. I believe there was a version that was a very limited release for the Star Gaogaigar in which the ENTIRE robot and all of its components were a bright orange. The only problem with this was that collectors would not know if they have one or not until they open their Star GGG as there was not differentiation on the box. kind of interesting. I remember seeing pics of this on the net did not save the pics. maybe you will have better luck finding it. (for all i know i may have one since my Star GGG is still sealed ) I also have 99% of the SOC releaes give or take 2 or 3 that were limited versions. so if you would like detailed pics of those with their boxes let me know my friend. as of now i have a lot of free time so it wouldn't be a problem Erik

The information about the orange star gaogaigar is very interesting and informative! So CMS decided to release a limited color version, but instead of releasing with a different designation number or packaging, they decide to short pack it into the regular lines randomly? I can imagine the face of the fan who thought they bought the regular ones, open the package and receive the limited color ones. It's like finding easter eggs!!
I remember that CMS also released "real" color variants of some of their 'bots. I'm sure there are at least 2, each with a price difference of 1,000 YEN higher than the regular versions. I found Genesic GGG and God Raijin-Oh, but are there any other "real" color releases? And do you happen to have a picture of the "real" color Ken-Oh?
On the SOC pics, I think I got all the bases covered for now, but thanks for the offer. However, about the MaxGokins, I would be very grateful if you can take pictures of the Green and Gold GGGG with the box for me (Green and Gold, reminds me of my Jr. High School colors)!!
Thanks for the inputs, Erik!

Hi Nikodiablo, just to add to your Brave Gokin list. There was also a Real Color 01 GGG(with Guy Pewter) kdc.sakura.ne.jp/cms/product/gaogai_miya.htmPic of the box(note the silver border of the box instead of "gold") Click for Ebay linkHere's the Golden one(limited to 500 pieces) Click for Ebay LinkPlus there was also the Genesic Real Color(Wonderfest exclusive, 500 pieces) .. Sorry, I don't have a pic of the box, but basically it's the same as the regular one with just the foil stamped "Limited to 500 pieces" on the upper left corner. Here's a scan from the Legends of Great Braves book by Media Works for the Real Color God Raijinoh(bottom left) and Kenoh(Bottom right) Finally, CM's cranked out the "Special gift set Real Color" for Gaogaigo, for 52,000Yen . It consisted of: -Real Color Gaigo -Real Color GGG -Real Color GFG -Normal Color Pliers(I think) -Normal Color GGG Power up set(I think) -Golden Guy Pewter Real Color Gaigo("pearl gray" finish) Real Color GFG("pearl gray" finish with metallic/"pearl red" parts) BTW, I didn't get these, I just found the pics on the net from a while back. Oh, and the BG07 Ingram 1 & 3 is designated BG07x. With regards to the Green and Gold MF GGGG, last time I checked the Gold one was selling for $700 on Ebay(Buy now) . Guess I was lucky to get mine over at Amazon for $300 each with shipping just last year. Here're some pics from last year. robotjapan.proboards12.com/index.cgi?board=BandaiOther&action=display&thread=1145375995Gold

Thanks Gold!! Just the facts I need!! Never thought that CMS released so many limited variants! Just as with Erik's knowledge about the Aoshima Gokin stuffs, yours concerning the Brave stuffs (and not limited to the Brave Gokin stuffs only) is incredible.
BTW, the real color Gaigo and the Gogaigo parts looks real nice... I have never seen this release in HLJ listing yet... Is this a special mail-order item requiring coupon from the book?
Request to use these images for reference!

Request to use these images for reference! Glad to be of help Nikodiablo. Please feel free to use the images. I can't remember where I got them from originally(I think the Gaogaigo giftset was from Toysdaily) The Kenoh real color was a Cms website exlcusive I think.. supposedly limited to 200 pieces(I'm not entirely sure of the production number if it's really that low). The Gaogaigo "giftset" could just be ordered I think, no coupon or mail-ins required if I remember right. I'm not sure why HLJ didn't have any in stock. But it is limited to 400 pieces only. BTW, There was also a GGG and GGGG reissue set. Rumor has it that the GGG here now has diecast parts on its legs(the entire Drill Gaos). I have no idea if this is true or if this is just a straight forward reissue. On a side note I think it's still possible to order the Real Color GGG and " Gold/Orange" Star GGG directly from Cm's. Since it's still listed under "Now On Sale" Unlike the other limited figures(like the KenOh, it was previously listed there). kdc.sakura.ne.jp/cms/product/Gold

Just to clarify some facts, was the limited edition GFG ever released separately on its own?
And the price of the complete real color Gaigo is 52,000YEN. Yummy!
