This is my first time ordering a damaged box so I will be sure to post pics of it too and very soon I think from the tracking. It said on the item description box damaged but contents inspectcted for Quality Assurance so we'll see what that means shortly.

Was able to retrieve it and don't know what Mandrake was talking about a damaged box because the box is in perfect shape and the product was sealed as if brand new. I think someone in the warehouse messed up. The box and all contents look perfect. Pics soon.

Ugh, getting the Stealth Gao on is proving to be impossible!

Yes, I am both reading the manual and watching the special video Bandai made. Except for the Stealth Gao, all went very well. Still working on the Stealth Gao. I have never seen a SoC with such tight joints and joinery. Load bearing though so I guess it needs it.

Yes, finally! Got the Stealth Gao on! Almost done. Will give it a good wipe down to clear all the finger prints and mold release oil and then take pics. I swear I just looked all over the box and no dents. Was wrapped in bubblewrap all over and in a very much larger box with filling. I was worried before I had opened the box as it was caved in a bit but the GaoGaiGar box was fine.

BTW, my wrist mechanics where they spin down work wonderfully with no clunkiness. No defect as far as I can tell for now.

nice, it's already filling a big chunk of your deloft and you didn't even suit it up fully yet. ![;)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/wink.png)

Hmmm, don't know what you mean by not fully suited out yet as he has everything on him according to the manual with the exception of Hell and Heaven fists and Dividing Driver attached which is going to be hard to do in the Detolf. My Great Mazinger DX is already almost scratching the top and GaoGaiGar isn't too far behind. I have never seen GaoGaiGar hold the Dividing Driver in any way but straight up. Gonna have to get creative for the Detolf.

Ugh and those fangs on the Lion head are sharp, almost pierced my palm when manhandling the Stealth Gao on, LoL!

Glad you enjoy your GGG. "Not fully suited up" probably meant not having the Hammer and/or Star Parts yet. Not that you absolutely need them.

I have no intention of getting the overly inflated and over priced Star Parts set but do intend to pick up GoldyMarg down the road here. GX-71 Takes precedence at this point though and don't want Goldy unless a true deal as he isn't horribly necessary either.

Sounds like a very good plan right ther. Golion/Voltron should definitely take priority over those.

I am definitely seeing a difference in my old collection habits vs. new ones as my Detolf will attest it's got mostly monstrously huge chogokin in it vs. my old collection which was all regular sized or smaller Poppy chogokin. Gonna need a new Detolf soon!
