why would you still want to buy the GX-03? Are you a big Combattler V fan? Do you buy all SOCs? Just curious
Leo has this thing about doing things in order. I can respect that.

It's a bit of both. Everybody is blowing out their stock of GX-03 right now for about $65.00 so it's quite cheap to pick up a $120+ SOC GX-03 Combattler V right now for a reasonable price.
And yes, I'm a bit insane about buying things in order but not so much with SOC, but I plan to purchase all the SOC over time, including the OOP ones, and I'm getting all the Mazinger items first.
Cheers!

I agree perfectly with Leo. Personally, the only differences I can see in the GX-50 are the cockpit canopies which were sprayed in light blue paint on the GX-03 which have now been replaced with clear light blue plastic. Vehicle number 2 has folding wings and most probably there is a modification in the joint system. Apart from that, I see no more differences between my GX-03 and the GX-50. Most probably there will be some sort of extra accessory with this one. It seems the Japanese like to make perfect something which is already good. Correct me if I'm wrong, please.
There was a comparison shot on toyboxDX.. and GX-50 is more "beefier" looking. I already have the GX-03, and despite the fact that I like it, I'm not gonna bother with this at the moment.. I'll spend my money on Big O and Atami Nights ver Maz instead.
I wonder if this combattler can knee?
