I was expecting a larger box than that. It surely surprised me. (not that I want a large box due to space requirements)

I believe the length and width of the box will be similar in size to Voltron but it's the height/depth of the box is smaller cause it's only a single tray. $300 and they don't even throw in some extra sets of hands, effects parts or a display/weapons storage Bay with the name tags etc...you know, the standard stuff that comes with most SoC.

Yeah. Even the SoC Goldymarg had extra sets of hands at the least and it is more or less an upgrade set for the SoC Gaogaigar. I have noticed such with GX-71 Voltron and GX-72 Megazord that they seem to be lacking in some anime or screen accurate accessories and extra hands much unlike SoCs of old. I am guessing one can point fingers on the licensing fees for both figures. Maybe not so much with the Megazord.

guys guys, lets be logical
Voltron doesn't have hands he have lions head, so there is no need for giving it an extra lion heads, why and for the accessories it came with decent amount of them
for Daizyujin, it dont have any weapons just the sword, so making a stand for just a sword increasing the total price is just bad idea, maybe some effect parts yea but other than that the release is fine and reasonable

There was also talk about the covers for the various limb lions people wanted for anime accuracy. Then we have the Red and Green Lions and their cannons that look small on the base figure that could have been optional parts of their own. Even the missiles that would normally fire from the mouths of the other 3 Lions are molded in and do not articulate. As for the SoC Megazord,alternate hands would have been nice and the special effects part for the SRC Daizyujin would have been a welcome addition as I am sure the SRC Daizyujin was made before it was even thought possible to make a full on SoC Daizyujin. I mean wasn't the SRC line made as a cheaper alternative for the SoC line that added extra articulation to cover the lost engineering lost in exchange? With stuff like SoC Gaogaigar and the other Brave Mecha,it is just as unlikely or at least anytime really soon that an SoC Chouryujin would be in the works at least within this decade.

I'm terrible. I'm sitting here watching the NFL Draft and flipping to my email looking for that HLJ payment request. LOL!
Truth be told, I've been doing it off and on all day.

Because this comes with clearly far less accessories than most SOC's, is the high price partly due to the licensing from Saban? I feel like past releases like Daltanious, God Sigma, Daioja, etc., came with a lot more and were not even in the same price range as this.

Well I would have REALLY appreciated extra "screen accurate" big head and extra pair of big hands......
Bandai used to include that....

Oh well.
I am already knee deep on this release. I am now waiting to pay it off and am looking forward to it anyways. Considering the leaps ahead the SoC is from the Legacy release,I am still loving how this guy turned out.

good points there man but Bandai wanted the GX-71 to an updated version from the vintage one, thats why no anime accurate parts for me i found the lions weapons accurate and good we got some new weapons for the first time in a Voltron toy the missiles in the mouth of the green and red lions does articulate but the yellow and blue lions are molded i agree with you on extra hands for Daizyujin, closed hands and gripping hands like the SRC, effect parts are also cool but not a must we have it in the SRC maybe it will fit into the SOC lol
