You have his forearms on backwards.  I wouldn't say backwards, backwards would be with the mounting port to stealth gao on the front.  This is more like on the opposite side. I rushed to put it together and just went with what i remembered from the youtube videos Thanks! I'll swap them out now |

Mechanical Flesh.... I want modern. I'm tired of the classics.... Like GX-66 (so disappointed with this one). Actually, I would be cool with the SOC line ending. Don't get me wrong, I love the line, I just want it to end on a good note. Okay, it's the "I'M OUT OF SHELF SPACE" self talking  |

Okay, it's the "I'M OUT OF SHELF SPACE" self talking Well... a solution would be, buy another shelf I've seen yours, it's crowded like hell, those robots are begging for a bit more room. Even if it's OT, could I ask you why you're disappointed by the Trider? I don' have one yet, but all the reviews I've come across say it's one of the best SoCs ever produced. And it certainly looks so: nice amount of diecast, good articulation, lots of transformations andaccesories. Why do you dislike it? |

Well. There we go. GX-68 and GX-69 are both "modern" SoCs. Even the infamous GX-63 was a "modern" SoC, so we can't really say that Bandai is just making classic robots. The line has got some variety, I just want some of the releases to be classic super robots. Not all of them, just some |

TaurusOxford.... You got it right! I'm tired of the red, yellow, white and blue color scheme. And I don't find the boxy/retro/vintage look appealing. Quite frankly, I can't tell GX61, GX66, GX23, GX53 apart. I didn't grow up watching them and therefore, it's difficult for me to appreciate them. I do like some of the classic SOCs, I consider GX59 as one of the best ones! Mechanical Flesh.... About acquiring more shelves. Our current place can't handle another one. Maybe when we get a bigger house The only robot I wish Bandai would release as an SOC is Balatack. The only robot from my childhood that I don't have. |

Okay, it's the "I'M OUT OF SHELF SPACE" self talking actually, bandai already have a line that focuses on modern robots, the metal build line. however, they do have a habit of falling back on gundams more often than not. |

Actually, I would be cool with the SOC line ending. uh-oh.. i definitely wouldnt agree on that.. hehehe.. there are still more classic robots thats hasnt been done yet. i wouldnt let them just fall in the hands of all plasticky magnetic Evo Toys or uber expensive Arcadia or definitely not on u know why HL PRO lol if u want modern toys,, theres Bandai's robot damashii line or soul spec line. Ending the SOC line is definitely not an option.  |

reVolVer.... I only acquire SOCs. However, I also get SPECs (they started out having the SOC logo). Yeah, I get my modern robot fix via the SPEC line. I would also bored if I only collect modern robots (I haven't gotten all of the SPECs because some of them look almost identical to me. And plus, I've OD-ed on EVAs). Also, I haven't watched any modern robot animated series--I can only appreciate them aesthetically. Unlike Mazinger Z or Voltes V.... I have fond childhood history with those guys.

I have fond childhood history with those guys. hmmm.. ugh strictly gokins.. yeah.. i see the lack of variety to choose from. me.. i could probably get some of my "modern fix" such as codegeass from damashii, Cybaster/RW OG mech from Volks, Getters from sentinel, Rahxephon from megahouse, etc... the reason was some of these mechs would probably take more than a decade before bandai decides to include them in the SOC line or probably never. i like to complete my list as soon as possible.. i think i will never have the patience to wait that long hehehe... uh-oh.. i definitely wouldnt agree on that.. hehehe.. there are still more classic robots thats hasnt been done yet. i wouldnt let them just fall in the hands of all plasticky magnetic Evo Toys or uber expensive Arcadia or definitely not on u know why HL PRO lol if u want modern toys,, theres Bandai's robot damashii line or soul spec line.

Only a different paint color or change of face sculpt at most!! Not One R toy in the SOC line has improved engineering wise,besides the possibly tighter joints on Voltes,which is far from an engineering improvement. Bandai will not waste their time redoing Daimos to make it better,I just dont see it ,at least in the next ten years anyhow,when a whole new line of Classic SRs comes out,if they do.It would be great,but Bandais idea of re-releases are color changes,the lazy way.I doubt even an SRC Daimos will emerge. |

I really hope Bandai gives us that SRC Godmars too. Godsigma has been announced and the date set, but we haven't heard anything about Godmars since the reveal... |
