for me... putting lightan in the SOC line is a huge mistake... of course, i'm looking at it at a collectors perspective... but adding the SOC logo there will definitely generate big bucks for Bandai... and would you believe that the prototype they released (as posted by Gold) is a huge improvement over the original Popy version... the Popy version is really a block with limbs and a head ... they made this slicker (if that is even possible ;D) I also wouldnt advise including a model kit in the GL set ... there was once a lightan model kit at STC that was placed on sale... seeing that it was below P100 (coming from 700 ata) my friend grabbed it immediately and assembled it... since lightan is just a block that is almost hollow inside, the arms and legs would frequently flop... making it difficult to make lightan stand (or pose.... or do whatever he wanted with it) he tried everything to fix the problem but to no avail... frustrated... he just gave it away... ... the same thing plagues the popy gashapon that Bandai released a few years back... lightan is the only one that had a hard time standing up... ... SGP, God forbid... not another Crapbungle... the first one was bad enough... the last thing we need is a black version, an M or R version... i dont think there's anything Bandai can do to save that bot... Hey TB, I didn't mean another crapbungle, I'd rather they do Gold Lightan with a kit of another GL. ;D Hehe... At least, it won't be too hard on the wallet. SGP

the key word there is "depending on sales" ... i think only SOC completists will get gold lightan... ... Gold, are you ready to get into sentai... me and the other sentai collectors are ready to welcome you with open arms ;D ... we'll even make a welcome banner ;D This would be Jan's reaction should I jump into Sentai ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Waaaaahhh Gold

How about a more "curvy" GL? Hehe... Like the new Voltron, so that he won't be too "squarish". I know that it will change the design but at least it would be more appealing. Hehe... SGP

Jan is Gold's wonderful girlfriend ;D ... She's also known as "astrogirl" Forgive my ignorance, but who's Jan? SGP She's my Fianc'e now actually hehe . Anywho, back to Gold Lightan. Here's the plot posted by KidChuckle of RobotJapan: GOLDEN WARRIOR - THE GOLD LIGHTAN 52 thirty-minute episodes. Hiro finds what appears to be a broken lighter in an empty field. This lighter, actually the Gold Lightan, has fallen to Earth from the Robot Dimension, in another place and time. Normally, the Golden Lighter remains in this compact disguise, except when called upon to defend the Earth from Ivalda the Great's attacking robots, whereupon it changes into a giant robot, the Golden Warrior, Gold Lightan, by traveling along the Rainbow Road. Gold Lightan joins forces with Hiro's gang to defend the Earth against Ivalda the Great's armored force's impending attack.... Gold

such is the plight of us SOC completists ... if it has a HK only item, chances are we're gonna get them too... ... it probably will look good with popy lightan, popy gasha lightan and model kit lightan ;D ... btw, patrick of ptoys showed me a reissue lightan a couple of months back... i just dont know if its a HK only reissue.. since i never heard of a planned japanese reissue nor did i hear anything about that version afterwards... another boring soc..... still as a collector i'll still get it even if its against my will Same here.
