Thank You for posting the link!
Around $400 shipped...damn. I have to give up.
But Sentinel and T-Rex is involved.... Metal joints and LED headlights and afterburner gimmick?

What didnt you like about God Sigma and Giant Robo?
They are two of my favorite SRC.
I ask because Im genuinely want to know what Bandai can improve on.
Ill be the first to admit they both should have been bigger... Also Giant Robo def needed more metal . And now GR developed the dreded loose hip joint...

at that point im thinking, Bandai could have invest $20 USD more on each of those figs and made it into full blown SOC...

Started as less then $50, then got up to around $120 before the line died.
Only slightly cheaper then superior SOC? Didnt make much sense its existance with that kind of MSRP...
the whole marketing point of SRC was a affordable diecast...

No way DakarDave. Id be a hypocrite to judge!
I play with ALL my collection.
I have few unopened duplicates as "clone" robots in case the original needs repair? ( even that doesnt make sense to me now, so i never buy extra and just play with AlLL my toys)
Life is VERY short and am living on a borrowed time so im going to FULLY enjoy this hobby.

I been waiting for SOC Sun Vulcan for over a decade.....
Im surprised Evolution Toys havent had a crack at it.
It's a beautiful character,and its long over due for a decent diecast. Such a shame.

After nearly a FOUR DECADES of time between original 80's Dairugar, youd hope Bandai would actually "improve" the durability too..(not just engineering That better translates artistic vision).
Hope Bandai can do even better on Voltron III.
Still, good on Bandai. I dont know who else could have pull this off....not perfect but a darn good gokin.
My "possible" TOTY 2019~

Hi Faelon
My copy has tiniest notches in the "chest" where the jet clips onto. (They are in the dead center of the white plastic area where jets red clips clip onto.)
I landed the jet four times so far and it always landed perfectly in the dead center..i hope this info helps?
FYI, Pressing down on the nose of the jet seems to release it easily.

Hi guys. I finally put mine togather.
My first impression: Its an awsome combiner that looks feels great that diplay and pose really well.
But it does come with few QC issues. 1.my yellow truck's(foot) wheels "tuck in" function is already wearing out...wtf.(anyone else have this problem?) 2.i can notice fine hairline scratches on forearms' paint. 3.speaking of paint, i notice quite a few tiny paint imperfections on my copy. More then usual SOC releases 4.the propellers and front skirts do pop out way too easy. Blue Helicoper's pops out just by the force of gravity...that's stupid. 5.and that blue swish effect part is just ugly as my sin.... had to call it out.
I will do my more "formal"(haha) "review" soon after i get more time with this guy.

Hi Guys! Here is MY take on this awesome figure, GMFF Zaku.. i knew it would come one day. Let me just say...get it...please. this figure is a top notch! Bandai brought it...FINALLY! Pros( 6 reason to buy? Teehee) 1.come on now, Its a diecast Zaku! 2.As far as articulation goes, its The BEST Bandai has to offer. 3.Over 90 percent of the figure is beautifully painted in matt. 4.Along with other many sliding panels, Even the side of the waist, has "a collapsing panel" (ala Sentinel to accomodate further articulation..) that's crazy! 5.source accurate "laser sharp" sculpt 6.its pretty big and heavy...especually when its "fully strapped!" Constructive Criticism 1.This is one of the wobbliest figure i own..it might be a weight distribution issue. It stands fine but it sure rocks back and forth at the slightest touch...WTH 2. The awesome spiky diecast shoulder pad/armor's paint app is not as laser sharp as the rest of the figure...there are some tiny paint bleed. 3.nitpicking now, As far as i can tell, there is NO metal inside the head nor neck area... It "feels" like very convincingly painted plastic to make it "look like metal.....shady. 4.styro coffin and PVC(vinyl) parts... 5.ugly "floating" shoulder joints...but i knew it going in but still. 6.also knew go8ng in, no clicky joints...bad tradition on this line. 7.another bizzare Bandai tradition, a rear skirt piece not articulate. It prevents "potential" leg/hip movement....youre weird Bandai...annoyingly weird. $250ish seems tobe a norm for a premier figure these days...sigh. Again and again, comparing to SOC Lion, it will lose ALL day long.. BUT, if you ignore "the golden RULER," this is a figure i recommend whole heartedly. Its one of very rare Bandai figure that actually worth the asking price. Oh and before i forget, thank you GPA for pointing me to the right direction. This review wouldnt have happened without you. I will give this figure a solid 9 out of 10!

N.Y. should have just refund the charge if it is smart which it clearly is not.
Now it looks to lose more accounts to due not only to it not able to meet the orders but badly handled subsequent cancelings....
