HOLY MOTHER OF ALL HOLY GRAILS!
Today, I have just received my
NUMBER TWO most holiest of grails. Words cannot describe how happy I am to finally own one of these bad boys.

Volks Variable Box SRX from Super Robot Taisen OG [
MIB, from
Yahoo Auctions Japan]
Originally released in March 2007 as an Japan-only exclusive to Volks' own online store; the original pricetag on this baby was 58000yen (about $500USD at the exchange rate then).
Fortunately, I won an auction for MUCH less than that, albeit MIB (almost all the accessories have never been removed from the tray), and there's a small manufacturer's defect on one of the robot heads.
A picture of the smaller boxes inside; has separate boxes for the R-1, R-2 Powered, R-3 Powered, combination parts, and the Orichalconinum Sword:
Composite Ver.Ka Exbein (also from SRT) shown for scale references.

Haven't had time to combine the bunch yet (additional pictures will come then), but here's a video from SRT-Divine Wars showing the sequence:

Sadly, the transformation is very cheated and parts-former-ish in toy form, mainly because it'd be impossible to replicate that transformation (especially the R-2 (the fat blue one), who basically turns itself inside-out).
