Wow, didn't expect the Raideen got you guys into such heated discussion. I end up passing on it...for now. Not really because of the lack of diecast or whatnot. Just not having a big gokin appetite, so want to slow down a little until something really good pique my interest again (maybe the GX-45). But its almost a good thing that Raideen is not selling well. Meaning I can get one later for cheap.

And how will you know it is not "broken" or has any factory defects if you don't at least take it out of the box??? You are taking a big risk...

Mannix, as Nike have said: "Just do it." Who cares if some else has done it. Just like how many of us bought 2 or 3 Combattler V's and Voltes V's, so we can display them separated and gattai. ;D ;D

Mannix--I've been planning on doing exactly what you're talking about from day one. I just haven't been able to get the second one because I'm swamped every month from preorders and sudden opportunities to buy this that and the other.....!!

What's the percentage of folks got the regular vs the delux version of this guy? 50/50?
I just got the regular version. I just don't have the room for the mountain. Plus, I don't really know Raideen. I know that he is really popular and stuff...

after 7 moths from the last post above..I am resurrecting this thread :-) I was not really planning on getting the raideen gx-41, but 2 weeks or so ago HLJ has 40% off sale- so I bit... about $65 shipped to the USA... it has some Nostalgia for me too--the Shogun Warriors comics.. without re-reading this thread--when I got it yesterday.....and opened it-- the only thing that bugged me was the parts keep falling off... the right side of the shield of his face keeps falling off--I think I will need to super glue it... and even the red rings for the shield I might just glue them permanently... so today--I had nothing better to do-- I re-read this thread--all 44 pages of them plus all the links! :-) so the argument abut the diecast or lack there of-- does not bother me-- it was a necessary sacrifice-- I appreciate more of the engineering and design of the toy-- of course whatever little diecast it have-I liked that... so...my point for this long post is... did any of you eventually glue the parts/accessories so they don't fall off? P.S. Gold's review.. robotjapan.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=SOC&action=display&thread=3904&page=37what Lurker-X said--I feel the same way too...(last part/bottom of page)... robotjapan.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=SOC&action=display&thread=3904&page=34

anyone? anyone? Bueller? ;D I should be receiving mine sometime soon, I also ordered from HLJ during their sale but I used SAL so I might be waiting long, but I will report my findings when I open him up.

so...my point for this long post is... did any of you eventually glue the parts/accessories so they don't fall off? I did not glue any of the pieces together, but I was so frustrated by everything falling off just trying to display this thing that I packed most everything back in the box, and put only a couple of items on the display base.

...and i just realized why the rings are not glued to shields... it is a pain to take off the shields/ring combo! but as long as I minimize that I guess... I just 'played" with it for a while but now--as all if my SOCs-- they just get displayed in their glory...
I just wish bandai made the pegs bigger so the connection was not flimsy after all and no need to glue them together...

A favor to ask: Can anyone that owns (and has on display) the SOC Reideen and the SOC GX-47 Energer Z take a picture of their two motorcycles/pilots together side by side and post it here? I would like to see the size difference between them if at all possible.
Also, if it is not too much to ask, if you also happen to have a GX-07E or GX-07i available as well, can you also take a picture of its bike/pilot with the other two and post it here?
Thank you for your time!
