Chen, regarding to your question about the stickers. I bought the first wave of GX-04S (at $300 -- ouch!!), and my set came with the silver stickers in western alphabet. Do you have a picture of the base with the other stickers? I'm curious. By the way, although I paid such a juicy price for my Grendizer, I would gladly pick up another one right now (If I had the cash!). I strongly sugest that you guys buy one if you don't own him already, for it has so many gimmicks that you won't be disappointed. If I had a better camera I would take pictures for you. But the sticker on the left says "Soul of Chogokin UFO" then the right one is in Kanji for what I'm guessing is Grendizer.

Chen, I just checked my GX-04S (1st issue) and I have the same silver, "King of Space" sticker. The insturction bookelts are labeled as GX-04 and GX-04X.

Thanks dme3o! I guess Grendizer came with three different sets of stickers, one for GX-04, GX-04B, and GX-04S. This will be good to know if ever someone buys a loose Grendizer, plus I'm sure 20 years from now the sticker thing will be like Voltes red or yellow missiles and elbow joints.

Woah that baby blue is cheese.. I hope its not like that for the rerelease. Don't worry, it isn't. Here's a link to some pics of someone who already has the re-issue. www.pbase.com/kelvinphoto/gx04sIt's still dark blue. ;D **Source: TBDX. BTW, I have a question to those who already have the re-issue. See, I have a GX-04B, and if there's one thing that I disliked about the Grendy SOC (blasphemy.... I know), the lower leg doesn't 'twist' to the sides like other SOC's, or at least it's very limited. Did the reissue fix this, or is it the same?

Actually it's a re-release, and not a Revisited version (like GX-01R,02R,13R) So i guess it is the same product that has been produced again.

Also are the UFO and the Spacer ships die-cast? Also do the drills spin on the blue one?

The Spazer is all plastic, the Double Spazer has some diecastin the body and wings, the Marine and Drill Spazer have very limited diecast. The drills on the Drill Spazer don't spin.

I like that colour blue on that Grendizer pic. But I do like the regular version much better though.

So who has the best online price for this one? I am reluctant to buy on evilBay after the Turd incident. That is alot of cash! I am willing to pay a little more to have peace of mind on this one. General concensus is...

I can't wait to hear the response when people get this. I always seem to be the last one to pick up the SOC.

I can help you ask around here. But don't know what's a reasonable amount to pay for it. Let me know maybe can ask around here. If it's around $180-$190 still interested?

General concensus is... Tam at Twin Moons has GX-04S for $185.00. I highly recommend buying from him. I always goto him first for my purchases. He is located about 20 miles from me here in California. He gets his stuff shipped to him, then he ships to you. There is no waiting for over seas shipping, costs and customs ripping into your stuff.

Awesome! Thanks Mazinkaiser! That is a good price, plus it is in California. Tonight I shall order him. ;D
