Since you are close to Thailand, I would imagine it's easier to obtain bettas. I had crowntails, plakats, halfmoons. I also bred them as well. So, easily the babies can number in at about 60-80. The original stock I had was 100 not counting all the fry I raised. I would suggest picking a few colors you like and breed them.

Thanks. It's nice looking. But not so distinct from the GX09MAB that I would ever hunt it down at those crazy aftermarket prices. Kind of reminds me of the GX31V "Respect for Volt". I so prefer that paint scheme, and would love to own one, but current aftermarket prices are just so insane as to discourage it.

Why are the prices of these rare Maz Angels going down? Not so long ago, you would not be able to find he GX-08MAW and GX-11MAM for under $200 on eBay.. Now, you can get them for less than $150. I know that we got GX-09SS for way less than $500 (that was the only going price for this robot last year).

New/Sealed. I don't think any of them is worth importing for more than that. Got my other Maz-Angels at even less than that price-point...

I know that we got GX-09SS for way less than $500 (that was the only going price for this robot last year). Simplest rule of economics. No demand so price drops. There are more of these so called rare SoC out there versus collectors that want them. Especially at the stupidly rediculous after markets prices. Slightly off topic but today I went into this Comic & Cards collectible hobby shop at Geary and 19th street in SF. They have inside of of their display cases 4 rare SHFiguarts DBZ figures. Yeah DBZ SHFiguarts, Rare? I got two out of the four they had inside the case. The one priced highest? SHfigurarts Trunks at $450. I got that at retail for $50 Next was SDCC Gohan at $250. I got two of those at SDCC one year for $35 each. Frieda was $300 and Perfect Cell was also $300. They have Android 18 at $100 but she was not in the case and was place along side a bunch of other dBZ Shfiguarts on the shelf. Cheapest was the normal release of SHFigurarts Gohan at $40 Point being, people can list and sell their stuff at whatever aftermarket price they like to but it more than unlikely that it get sold at the redicilous prices. Like finding really good deals on eBay and a Amazon, sometimes the lucky seller can find a desperate buyer or a total noob to the hobby that was too lazy to do proper research.

supergetterv.... Thanks for the explanation, it makes sense. Maybe a couple of decades from now, the prices for our beloved SOC robots would appreciate and not depreciate. I would never consider selling my collection but who knows.... On the plus side, I am glad that the prices for GX-12MAG and GX-09MAB have gone up. I purchased mine from Anime Jungle in Los Angeles about five years ago for a little over $100. I now see them for around $150 on eBay (about the same price as the rest of the rare Maz Angels, except for GX-09SS). Speaking of GX-09SS.... So glad that we didn't pay over $500 for that. My sweetie saw it for around $250 on eBay and immediately snatched it for one of my SOC Christmas gift (yep, I have to wait that long, Goldy is one of them too). There were two $250 GX-09SS postings on eBay--both have been sold already. There are still two available for over $500

I just got a GX-08MAW and a GX-12MAG last week for just a hair over $100 USD. (I think one was $104 and one $107) New in sealed box and free shipping.

Some 3rd party vendor on Amazon. Nico Nico or something like that? I don't quite remember the name. I just followed the best listed price on Amazon and ordered it. Shipping was pretty fast to. I wasn't expecting it until the end of the month, and it showed up on Tuesday.

Those angels have a VERY small demographic wanting them,1 they were marketed for females,their extras are chrome compact mirrors!yet how many female SOC collectors do you know? Also they are from a manga not an anime,most just want the anime versions as they are repaints at heart,not completely but pretty much..Also the metallic colors are garrish a bit.And the heart on the leg ruins it.I own 2 of them teh Egyptian Diana and the Black/copper wing eared Minerva.If I had to let 2 robots in my entire collection go it would be those two.So either you REALLY like them or are a SOC completist,Im the exception as I loev all things Egyptian robot and she looks great with Reideen,and I like the Nagai winged headed harpies and the minerva is closet to it.I own all teh normal versions which are necessary ofcourse.All my opinion,but how I see it as why they are going down in price MOST SOCs go up though,these are teh exception.BTW that special shadow SS Minerva could be had at anime export last month for 267$ half of the ebay price.

BARON WEIRWULF.... Thanks for the insight. I agree, I find the metallic colors a bit off putting as well on the next gen Maz Angels. And nope, I have not met a female SOC collector.... I hope to someday, that would be really cool. I am an SOC completist (only the color versions). I initially didn't want to collect these rare Maz Angels. But the idea of them being super limited was just too tempting. Plus, I genuinely now find them truly aesthetically pleasing--they are such contrast to the rest of my SOCs. Their designs are really clever and plus, it's always good to have some female robots in a sea of male ones OMG.... The GX09SS package just arrived from Asia. Unfortunately, I will not be able to open it until Christmas However, I am so happy to know that I will now have all of the rare Maz Angels! Speaking of, how many do you think were made of each? Less than a hundred, in the hundreds or thousands?
