Great pics Kumastyle and GTMQ8! Kind of surprised to hear they didn't include any stands with the Daizyujin. That's a shame. Gold Thanks, and considering it's just his sword and shield, it probably wasn't worth the production costs to them.

We generally only get them when they have a lot of accessories like weapons that need to be corralled. Daizyujin kind of falls into that range where its kinda big for a platform stand for it to stand on, but doesn't have any stuff to really put on an accessory one. I don't think they want to repeat that stupid flimsy type stand from God Mars that just holds his sword up... badly. (That one at least doubles as a flight stand for the spaceship.)

I don't really use the stands. I don't even take any pics of them when I review the robots..but I've never had an SOC that didn't come with a stand before so that took me by surprise. I think there should be a stand even if it's just for the Megazord, Sword and Shield...with the Power Rangers and Zyu-Ranger plaques. Just like Voltron which had both Japanese and U.S version name plaques with it. It's just a low cost display option which for the price of this figure, frankly should have been included.

Overall I love it - I enjoy taking it apart/reassembling it even more than GaoGaiGar. It's super satisfying to know that my patience for a SoC Megazord paid off and that I never caved in and bought that "Legacy" version. The only thing I think it's really missing as far as engineering goes is some way to keep the tail flush on Megazord's back while using the waist joint. I think it really needed some fully articulated hands though - the hands it has might as well have been fixed pose cause as they are they do a pretty poor job of securely holding the weapons and an even worse job at looking dynamic. I've already oredered for a pair of 1/60 Gundam hands off ebay that I should be able to modify to fit onto Megazord's wrist balljoints. They'll be a tad bigger than the current hands but I think there's enough room in the arm to allow them to store in the Mastodon/Dino Tanker modes.

It's not unique to GX-72. GGG and Iron Gear didn't have them either. I think a few others (did Dancouga?). It just depends on whether there is really anything substantial to put on the stand. Just as the 4 "Chogokin" branded combiners (the three Disney and the Fujio one) don't have them. Really all each has is just the one weapon that the robot holds.

Does anyone have experience with supremecollector.com? I would like to know about that too ^^ The Megazord is now shipping in the USA!
Quyle pointed out www.SupremeCollector.com in this thread as having the best price ($274.88). I don't know anybody who's done business with him before. So, I verified that he accepted PayPal on preorders for protection purposes. He shipped it from CA on Friday for free. I should have it by June 2. I always trusted the BBTS in the past. But my GX-70 showed up with a a big ding in the box. So, I shopped around. This should save me around $40 after shipping. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Hi guys. I have a question about HLJ's Fedex international economy shipping method. I ordered gx-72, vf-31f and forminia ex nu gundam from HLJ for a total of 65000 yen. I was told I only need to pay tax on the 65000 yen if I have a fedex account (no duty. no advanced fee if I have a fedex account). All I need to do is to call fedex and let them know my account number after receiving the tracking number to waive the advanced fee. So I called Fedex to add my account number after HLJ shipped my package. To my surprise the fedex rep I talked to told me there is no duty/tax/advanced fee on this package, so I didn't need to add my account number to waive any fees. At that time I was thinking the tax may not show up yet and Fedex will send me a letter of invoice once the tax shows up. Now my package has arrived for 2 weeks. I still have not received any letter from fedex. Is it normal? Should I call Fedex to confirm? I'm just afraid Fedex forgot to send me the invoice and may put me into collection.
PS, forgot to mention I'm in Canada.

You really should not have used Fedex if you're in Canada. Stick with EMS in the future.

I was planning on taking a pic like that. Until I realized how much the S.H Figuarts Power Rangers are and didn't bother to get them. Maybe if I find them for a good price.
