Maybe I'm just bored. I got this piece a few days ago, and Josh is right about how amazing it is. I don't even have the well-tested standards of a real gokin collector, and I love this thing. It really is 80%+ metal. The articulation of the upper body is to die for, but the legs are only slightly behind what I expected. This is, of course, because I am a noob who doesn't know WHAT to expect. The fit of the mostly-red ship on the stand is a bit tighter on my set, but mine comes with an unfortunately loose hip, and minor defects on the finishes of the weapons. Also, I am still looking for a screwhole cover that I lost during installation; the one for the left toe part of the foot. All the others are in, and if I don't find it, it's going to bug the hell out of me (just like the missing sword connector of the Baikanfu set). Overall, I am very pleased for what I paid ($101.70 shipped). Thank you for selling me on this figure with this great review, Josh!

I woulda liked to have seen the Go Flasher gimmick in the video review, Josh. C'mon man...you just don't do enough for us hobo toy collectors! ;) Seriously, though...does it really shoot well? Eye-gougingly well??? Reading the review and checking out other collectors' pics, I kept thinking to myself that if this thing had a shooty gimmick, it'd be pretty much perfect. -- Sanjeev May have to get over my modern gokin phobia and pick this sucker up.

If CM's can keep the legioss and tlead simple, they will be great. I am becoming increasingly weary of overcomplicated toys.

Now you're making me want one. I hope that CMs continues to release robots that are untouched by Bandai. I have high expectations with their upcoming Legioss and Tread set. BTW, is there any diecast part on the three ships? Awesome review and pics Josh. Now you're making me want one. I hope that CMs continues to release robots that are untouched by Bandai. I have high expectations with their upcoming Legioss and Tread set.

BTW, is there any diecast part on the three ships?
