best advice is to keep the hanger in the box, it takes alot of space, insane to clean, and wont display every thing the set come with another stand just like the one in the Jet Scrander set, so you can display it with the wings one and it will be supported again never get the hanger out lol best price you can find so far is www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BAN16458&mode=retail

That's a good price if you're living in the U.S. Add $100+ for shipping this international. I never used any of the accessories with him. I am not taking out his hangar that's for sure. I learned my mistake from DX Mazinger-Z hangar. So tough to clean and takes up so much space. I also need to schedule a photo shoot for BOTH of them.

BBTS has a cheap one at USD 399 but ask minimum USD 200 for shipping to France. No Way... -> got mine from AE Yes, box is keeping dust and space. I will create a custom Window case.

good luck with the photo shoot it took me over 3 hours to take all the photo you saw on my Instagram because most of the accessories was in their boxes also trying to sync the eyes is a bit tricky, i remember it was 2 days photo shoot

What do you mean by: Don't get the hangar out of the box? Is it a dust magnet, or too much narrow space? Before I display it I'll try to get a display box to help protect it from dust.

Haha, half of my DX G is still in the box! Im just displaying main robot with half of its armor on. I prob wont be getting any more DX of this type. Too much to handle for me. I think 6 to 9 inch tall chogokins are perfect for me.
Except DX Volt of course, since it seems like its on a whole new level of design. Selling seperate component with crazy DX quality and hopefully at a affortable price point sounds so tempting....
Wait.....if Bandai ever gets chance to DX Getter Dragon. I have to get that.

I will create a custom Window case. yup , BBTS has the best price but the shipping to where I live (Turkey) is 250 $ so this is now not an option! the hangar is a pain to display and the Box is HUGE !! what do you guys do with it?

You would need a very big box. Like a custom made acrylic case. If you want to take it out for some photos that is fine. But if you plan on displaying it then you will have to keep cleaning it from time to time and cleaning that thing is really annoying.

I see.
I would need to find a display case that would sit on top on my Detolf.
That would be great.
As for cleaning, did someone try compressed air?
EDIT: Detolf not Details

The hangar won't fit a Detolf case. It most likely won't fit into any case you can buy from HLJ either. You have to get one custom made.

That is why I wanted a case to put on top of a Detolf.
Having a custom made case will be either ugly, or expensive.

You can also go DIY: The tricky part is to glue 90 degres the glass pannels (with appropriate glue), but nothing hard in fact. Your glass box will insert in the base. You can go with transparent acrylic/plexiglass but scratches are easy to get...

What it felt like years, I FINALLY put the batteries in him and the remote....
FYI, for bros who cant or wont access the manual, the remote can be opened by pressing that tiny tiny what it looks like the other end of tiny screw on the back of the remote then sliding the back panel outwards away from you.
Note to Bandai, on the next DX, please improve the eye piping or better yet, stick a a stronger led lamp directly in the head.. since there no docking involved with grendy there out to be plenty of space for that.
Please, Please stick a stereo speakers on DX Grendys back..... I know you can do it. And I dont want even want to hear lame excuses phone companies put out why stereo speaker is not optimal on 6 inch phone...
Oh, and implement easier way to activate the sounds....Bandai had another brain fart with that one.
