Oops looks like the 40% discount lasted less than two hours. But don't worry I am sure it will happen again! Seems like Amazon JP has a lot of stock and it isn't moving.

For those who are on the fence... and those who just want to see what it's like to open this thing, here's my unboxing video. I get into the figure as well as the toy's gimmics, so I hope you all enjoy it....
As someone who also collects vintage figures - there are DX robots, and then there's the SG-01 Tetsujin 28... a figure on such a grand scale it surpasses all others. For me, the GX-100 approaches that level.
I love everything about the Gaiking figure - consider it a Dynamic Classic. Check out the ratchets in my video....
And the Daiku-Maryu is spectacular! (So spectacular I'm moving my King Arts collection to my kid's display to make room). It doesn't have a ton of diecast - but it is extremely high quality and beautifully designed. If the entire Daiku was metal, it would be hard to open and close - the GX-100 brings the joy of a toy!
I give the GX-100 my highest recommendation....

Wow, impressive that you found it and looks nice. I see you have other buildings for your Mazinger figures. Your display looks great!

Yeah, pretty much paying US$120-130 over preorders from Japan in total, after shipping and tax. Yikes indeed.

I think the best deal so far is $690 shipped from Amazon Japan.

Really happy with mine. One of the few SOC's where nothing falls of when you pick it up or move it around. Just solid all around. Sure, I wish it was heavier, bit more die cast would have been great and would have been killer if the neck cannons fired missiles. Overall though, it's fantastic. I would classify this more as a modern Jumbo Machinder than a Chogokin though.

Yeah, well I did cancel with Eknight. Couldn't shake it and saw a deal on Amazon Japan. It's a true addiction sometimes!
