lol, i noe this japanese webside, it's not as good as the other links that i gave in another tread of this message board.
gx-05R basically just the color change of gx-05 to more metallic, nothing significant

I have them all so far except for dandougar and the evas (amd the black versions)
I gave up on being a slave to the SOC... Just get the ones you like. I'm probably going to pass on zambot because 1. no love for the character, and 2. it looks like a mess.

Almost every one of them is beautiful and have its own unique style. For me, i gave up collecting gx-08/gx-01b/gx-14/gx-03 due to their rediculous price, and i wont collect gx-21 but definitely going to get GX-13R and GX-23. These two pieces arent the one that I can aford to miss.

Tottaly agree with JoshB, I only buy the ones I like. I've only been collecting the SOC line since January of 2003 so my colllection is relatively small compared to some guys here. Here they are in order of purchase and some of my thoughts: 1. GX-03B Combattler V (Its weird that I picked him as my first to check out the line because he was the closest to Voltes I could get; the gucci version was much cheaper than the regular version and easier to find but now the gucci is the more expensive and harder to find.) 2. GX-02 Great Mazinger (original) 3. GX-07 Maz OVA 4. GX-06 Getter Robo 5. GX-10 Boss Borot (prolly my fave for being the most handled SOC) 6. GX-13 Dancougar 7. GX-12 Venus (I initally got her as the display model for Dancougar ala the drill-boobed chogo model but lead the way for the Evas). 8. GX-08 Aphrodai (sold her to get some cash for Eva 01, big mistake) 9. GX-14 Eva 01 10. GX-15 Eva 02 11. GX-16 Eva 00 Kai 12. GX-18 Dragun 13. GX-20 Poseidon 14. GX-22 Eva 04 (arrived yesterday Yay!!) Also have the Gx-23 on pre-order The holy grails for me are GX-09 Minerva, GX-04 Grendizer (both at ridiculous prices right now so I'm waiting-hoping for a reissue), GX-01, GX-03 Combattler regular (been meaning to get them but other toy priorites always come up), and the Aoshima Mazinkaiser and Shin Getter. *Now that I've seen what Bandai is capable of doing with their gattai designs, I am most disappointed with the SOC Getters because of their simple transformation/gattai. I just recently sold the 06, 18 and 20 to my brother to get him started in his own collection. He now thinks that the SOCs are not toys but actual works of art . (yay a collecting buddy or rival) I am also starting to see that the quality of the line is starting to lack, i.e. the Evas have the split shins and paint smudges. My latest SOC, the chrome Eva has visible scrathes, not on the finish but scratches on the actual zinc metal itself and was polished over (I'll take pictures later when I have time).

Definitely get Mazinkaiser and sin getter while they still around. Go to ebay right now and buy a shin getter devil wing version before it's all gone. This baby is made by Aoshima, a company that NEVER re-issue anythings. The devil wing version is limited to 2500 pieces world wide, you will cry later for not getting this one of the best chogokins in the world(im not bull nuts ing, it is one of the best forever) Same story happen to Mazinkaiser Black Wing Japan version, 1800 pieces world wide.( All other version have nothing compare to this Black wing JAPAN version) My gx-01r is scratched the metal itself, too. I guess this problem was arounded since the SOC line started.

SOCs and other modern diecasts I have now: GX-01R GX-02R Aphrodai A Mazinkaiser Kawai Shokai ver. Shin Getter blue panel version, it has the scythe instead of the tomahawk Reideen GA-09R Giant Robo Missile version - got it from HLJ when it went on sale two years ago. Getter Dragon Hero Collection- great play value! GX-03B - Had this before, very elegant. Hoping to get the color version as replacement. Will soon have: GX-18 Getter Dragon

Accoring to HLJ, the the GX-05R has a March release date. It's already March, so it's likely to be around the end of March, till the first week of April. I was planning on getting the two new EVA's, but a friend's semi-eview made me think of waiting till it's either, on sale, marked down, or till an "R" version comes out. Does anyone know when that reissue Gaiking will be released? my collection is limited... I just started to work when the SOC began(no cash at the time). a light weight for now GX-18 Gx-19 Gx-20 One day hoping to get Grendizer, Gaiking.

i think they are worth getting, plus i dont think the price of either one of them will go below 50. Laterly the price of every pieces of SOCs will eventually go up. here's some actually pictures of 21/22: bbs.newwise.com/index.php?showtopic=48829

My gx-01r is scratched the metal itself, too. I guess this problem was arounded since the SOC line started. IIRC, the GX-01R's release was Nov-Dec 2002. It is a redesign, so new moulds were made for it. In fact it is a fairly recent SOC item itself---released just before Dan and Eva 01. I have the original Great Maz and Combattler V released in 99? (IIRC) and these do not have any noticable scratches to the metal nor any major QC/QA issues.
