    Today I finally got my replacements, but not for free.
    Those thieves of the italian postal service left with 20€ in their pockets: 5 for the vat. and 15 for "postal service".

    Hey, anybody seen this yet?



    Anyone know how big it is compared to SOC GGG? Because there's no way I have the room or the funds for that big boy. (And how soon can we expect a RG GFG? Because I kinda like GFG ever so slightly more than GGG. Not sure why. Maybe because I'm a sucker for blue?)

    Got myself a Brave holy grail set this Christmas, Great Goldran! Not sure I would ever own these guys without some holiday help, so thankful for that. :wink: 

    Great Goldran is every bit as awesome as I imagined, and easily one of the best Brave figures I'll own if not the best. Glad to finally have it.

    Oh, that doesn't sound so bad. Now I just need to know if they make a GaoFighGar in the near future.

    Congrats! Goldran's uniqueness among the great leader Braves is his complexity.

    Here's hoping for a new modern take of Goldran and the gang..one that can transform lol :D

    Anyone else still waiting for their Dagarn replacement (especially in Europe)? They really should have sent tracking numbers through emails.

    How does everyone's DaGarn/Ga-Orn holding up? I've held back from getting the Gattai Da-Garn/Ga-Orn cause wasn't sure if the quality is there, and the playability will last since its majorly all plastic joints. Be interested for y'all to comment on.

    I'm kinda waiting for a SOC version for all the Braves... so definietly looking forward to ExKaiser.

    DaGarn probably too obscure for SOC

    There is absolutely no guarantee of that, at least not for the immediate future. Maybe if King Exkaiser and the Dragon Jet sell crazy well then maybe but even then it'd probably just be the "safe" Braves like Genesic GGG and Might Gaine.

    Unbelievably jealous. Great Goldran has the best combination and complexity of any Brave IMO. All the components come together perfectly and are great toys on their own to boot.

    Mine's ok so far. There's a bit of chipping on X's head crest and one of the original hip joints seemingly exploded while he's been displayed as Great, but the replacement Earth Liner took care of that (hopefully it lasts).

    The ratchet isn't working and there's barely any friction. The joint's halves are separated by a good few milimeters thanks to the spring coming loose. I suspect that the peg where the screw goes got ripped from where it's attached to the casing, kinda like what happens with Galaxy Meteor.

    Initially I thought Haslab VS would be my toy of the year but then i hesitated lol.

    They're kinda masterpiece level with the added articulations and some additional steps for the transformations. Otherwise Dagarn and Gaohn are fun and rather simplistic to mess around with.

    I'm still smitten by both of 'em :D
