I really really hope they do fix some of the minor issues that CMS grendy faced earlier. The toy is a good gokin with some minor flaws if fixed would make a killer gokin. Its heavy, well balanced and articulation is quite good. Problems: fix the hands please to scale Paint apps would solve some much if done correctly Those stupid pegs for the harkens hopefully will fit right this time and stay fitted Plastic on the joints better quality to improve overall performance of the shoulder ratchets... one of mine literally fell apart on me while posing one time, what started out as a loose joint came off completely. I fixed it somewhat but I know that stupid shoulder is gonna come off eventually again... just bad tolerance on that one sample... (yes i picked up a few ... due to all the qc issues..) Those damn spazer doors don't really wanna open well. Other than this mine's didn't have a lot of other problems... What i really hope is that someone picks up the mold / license to do acrobunch and makes the damn thing already... lol those isnt a minor issues my friend, some collector just skipped getting it because of those awful QCs but we hope they will fix most of of the QCs I know being totally sarcastic with my comments earlier I think i was venting a bit while listing the issues I ran into with both of my sets. Its almost like If I combined the two sets into one I'd get a pretty good CMs Grendy ... I'm not championing the idea to buy more than one here but that's what my experience was... and yet the stupid part is ... this thing is so close to being awesome which, only made it more frustrating in away at least for me. Regardless, I think I was really looking forward to someone trying to give us a newer representation of grendy... banana head and all I just hope Aoshima picks-up the gaps that cms started cause then we'd all be rejoicing [/quote]

Still nothing from BBTS on my voltes... here's hoping it'll come through still fingers crossed... BBTS is the worst.Their in stock/out of stock is NEVER right,they have the same robots listed at different prices and never correct it,stuff takes forever to get into stock half the time,just not a good place to risk getting the toys in.I wish you the best darkfriar though. Thanks Baron.

I finally got this bad boy ... formed gaogaiger... and now I can't stop looking at it... I must have spent the most time on this SOC in terms of transformation in terms of a combiner... and I'm still marveling at the engineering behind the toy... Good Job Bandai... now where the heck is my Golion, and freaking Dairugger...

Thanks Gold!
Yes, the pictures are very misleading and I basically went ahead with my purchase based on those silly images... given what I know now I have to decide on whether to keep it or not... for the rest of the folks on this thread... you can get one on HLJ right now for 130 minus shipping so probably can be had for about 150 to 160 maybe with shipping.

i do agree with everyone's comments on this toy thus far, the overall design took a small dive in my mind especially with feet articulation on this one or lack off to be exact. SRC never did have the best leg connectors from my own personal experience with the toy line thus far, so at least the hip joints are nice and tight on this one unlike my other src mazinger, raideen and gaogaiger just to name a few. The primary reason that I pick these figures up or consider them to begin with is primarily for articulation reasons. I mess with the SRC a lot more than I do with my SOC, I guess in my mind if i mess the src up or break something I won't feel as bad in terms of cost. Having said all that... I have to agree w/ Gold if I had to pick one pot belly getter I'd suggest going with Sentinel if you can get one. Neither one is perfect, but I personally think the sentinel looks better in hand. Now if they only made a dairugger, golion and albegas to go on this line I'd be real excited for those three.. though I'm extremely curious about the spacer + grendy that is coming out soon and yes... god sigma looks godly from the initial pics

Hey Guys, I've just received mine from Amazon, can someone please confirm for me that the "shin Seiki Gokin" version is the OVA color version cause I think Amazon may have sent me the wrong one. Thanks for the help. Amazon? Did you get it from Toysguardian? They are all Shin Seiki Gokin. "The Mazinkaiser OAV color is limited 500 pcs for Italy Toysguardian". }D Yes I did get it from toysguardian or at least it seems to have come from them... the back of the box has toysguardian limited... but I'm not sure if this the same 500 pcs one. So is the OAV color version only limited to Italy? If so I'll stop complain and retract my replacement request from Amazon....

I stopped by a comic book shop and saw this GX-04S. I found out that they buy and trade toys. I immediately went home, went down to our basement and collected most of my old toys. Hurrah, I now have a GX-04S. I wasn't really dying to get one because I already have a GX-04 and and a GX-04X. However, I could not pass on the opportunity. This is the only SOC duplicate I have and it will probably be the only one I will not display (I don't have room in my cases anymore). Regardless, I am so happy to have it and plus, we now have more space in our basement Congrats Mazfan this item is actually on my wishlist, if you're going to have just one SoC Grendizer then having both the 04 and the 04X is kind of redundant, since you can get everything at once with the 04S (box is quite bigger though). Congrats its an awesome set!
