Is it true that GX-40 Soul of Chogokin Godmars has been rereleased once before, and if so what are the chances of him being rereleased again? all the shops I've been to no longer have him, but the shop in Pearl Point says that he will come again someday as he was already rereleased due to high demand. Should I wait or grab one off eBay once available?

Are there such things as fake OEM Soul of Chogokin sets? I found a SOC set which I really want, and the price is normal, slightly above the original retail price but that's to be expected. It looks original in every way, just that that particular shop is known for selling OEM toys (such as fake Figmas and Nendos) as well as branded ones (Transformers etc).

GX-40 Godmars. I've been searching all over for it, and even BIB versions were going for RM1600. I saw one for sale for RM900 which is closer to the original RM800 price.

QUOTE(advocado @ Sep 16 2012, 12:37 AM) Nowadays as they become more and more expensive, less people are buying them since there are many other cheaper alternatives, and people who still buys them are real collectors so unlikely they will sell them. Thus less people buying means less people selling used. This would also mean that in order to make sufficient profit, Bandai either have to continue increasing the price while reducing the production numbers, until the point where nobody will buy them and thus ends the GX series. Do notice nowadays you can't really find them anywhere cheaper than retail, even used. So best bet is to purchase from online shops before they sold out, which then you'd have to resort to ebay or forum which will be much more expensive. Yeah, I'm definitely not expecting it to go for cheaper than retail, especially as GX-40 seems to be an extremely popular set (I had no idea so many people watched Godmars). RM900 is what I'd consider a pretty decent price, but not bargain cheap. My only worry is that I'm buying a fake OEM version, but if in general SoCs are not produced by OEM companies due to high costs etc, then I'd probably risk it and just buy (after checking it out). I've seen eBay prices ranging from RM800 to over RM1,500, so at RM900 I'd be more than willing to buy it.

Congratulations! Godmars is really cool, and really hard to get without paying through your nose. I got him a year ago or so - was lucky to find him in Fantasy Toys Low Yat for RM800. Was paranoid that he was bootleg, but I don't think there are SCG bootlegs around - at least none which have such a heavy metal feel. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The Chogokins seem a bit shorter than the Miracle Metal Works Dairugger XV, but still look great posed together!
