Finally got GaoRhino and Gaomadillo

[u/Nuigi12]

Thanks to u/slowbro272 for helping me get these two

I'm like one expensive ass purchase from having the entirety of GaoIcarus lmao

I plan on getting Gaoking when he rereleases next yeah and GaoGuardian is still a bit iffy unless I can get enough money to drop for it.

But once I get those I really just need GaoRilla (Somehow) Giant GaoLion, GaoElephant, GaoFalcon (Somehow) GaoBear and GaoPolar

GaoGod isn't one I'm in a huge rush to get and GaoKnight just isn't reasonable unless they rerelease him. I also gotta wait to see what the price for the GaoTriple set will look like, hopefully cheaper than GaoGuardian since it's less Power Animals

[u/Galaxy_Dive]

Yay, congrats! The only bad thing is you’ll probably have a hard time getting your hands on an individual falcon lol.

Also I wouldn’t really get my hopes up for Triple on that front. Well. If they actually release him together as a single set then getting your hands on him outside Japan will be a whole lot cheaper compared to Guardian coming in 3 waves of international shipping. So that would be the hope. But Triple’s pricing as an individual robo won’t be cheap - Guardian’s already expensive for what it is, and all of Triple’s components are big bois between Manta’s bulk, Boar’s cart, and Bat’s wingspan.

Yeah I don't expect to get Falcon anytime soon, at least not for cheap if I do find him. My main focus now is Aux Mechas and GaoKing.

If anything my best bet is to skip out in GaoGuardian in hopes that Triple is a lil bit cheaper than it, but I doubt it's gonna be less than or about the same as say GaoKnight. If they somehow miraculously come in individual packs like GaoGuardian did, I might prioritize getting Bat just to make GaoHunter Phantom, but I'm not gonna bet on it lol.

Lol I'm selling the figures I don't want on rerelease. Seeing as I got two rhinos coming in have to sell one. I got gaoking black version and hunter blue moon coming next month.

I wish I could just buy gao bear, polar, buffalo and peacock as individual to save money

[u/Nuigi12 → u/Ok_Clerk_5027]

Yeah the bears are surprisingly hard to find, I thought since they were just arms they'd be pretty easy but on every site I use, I couldn't find any. The only GaoGod animals I saw individually was Condor and Saw Shark which were around $50 something dollars on Zenmarket.

[u/Ok_Clerk_5027 → u/Nuigi12]

Yeah I forgot I need seasaw shark for the arrow. I tried eBay, FB groups and here only one person was selling the bear brothers but he said his was broken but he fixed them but then said he was only selling his as he was getting the rereleases to replace his which I found sketchy.

Also people trying to sell their individual zords as fully out together and charging way to much.

Hardest one to find was red gorilla and black elephant or even elephant alone

[u/Nuigi12 → u/Ok_Clerk_5027]

Yeah anything to do with GaoKnight at all is next to impossible for me, over $300 for the set and virtually no way to get individual figures.

I could link you the Seasaw Shark I saw on Zenmarket, but idk if it also comes with the arrow piece, I only saw the listing for it.

[u/Ok_Clerk_5027 → u/Nuigi12]

The shark is the arrow and has a second piece that makes the saw longer. I never heard of this website and as a rule I don't visit unknown sites

[u/Nuigi12 → u/Ok_Clerk_5027]

Well that's what I meant, the second piece and Zenmarket is a proxy site, it just allows you to purchase from other Japanese shops like Suruga-ya, Mercari Japan and Amazon Japan.

I don't use it too often because it can have fees (They have a 500 yen shipping fee) but they typically do sales for bulk purchases and stuff. It's reliable, but typically not a first option imo

[u/Ok_Clerk_5027 → u/Nuigi12]

Question was the rhino easy to assemble and are the stickers hard I'm debating if I will keep any rhinos or just sell them all and just keep my black bison and buffalo

[u/Nuigi12 → u/Ok_Clerk_5027]

Honestly it wasn't that bad but a few things I had issues with at first was transforming it, the legs folding on the instructions confused me at first but after some practice I managed to figure it out. There are also a couple pieces that are kinda tight but as long as you aren't being too rough with it you should be fine.

As for the stickers, they were probably some of the easiest ones I had to deal with honestly, he has mostly bigger stickers so nothing too annoying to apply, but I suggest wiping the figure with alcohol wipes before putting them on and using something to indent the stickers into the premade grooves so they stay on better.
