Hello guys.
I've already post that on TBDX but I know not all of you are checking both sites, could be interesting to post it here also as this might be a box variation you don't see that often.
Here's a copy/paste of my original post:
Hello everybody.
Just wanted to share this with you. Even if I was only focusing on Jumbos for a long long time now, there was always a toy I wanted to get even if it was not a Jumbo. Maybe because he's one of the coolest toy in the world, maybe because he's one of my favorite Robot design, I've never decide myself to buy one until a few days ago. I went to a vintage toy shop not too far from my place, and there it was, standing on a shelf looking like new, perfect with the chrome super clean, no scratch, a super clean piece. Then the seller told me that he had the box cover, I was thinking that he was about to show me the Godaikin box but he came with the french version of it, super clean also. All the one I saw before where either the Japanese version either the american. So it was even more cool and this decided me to get it.
For the little story, it was purchased by a collector here in a local toy shop when it came out and was just removed from the box to be displayed for 25 years in a display case and the box cover was folded and put in storage until this collector decided to sell a part of his collection. Unfortunately he threw the styrofoam right after he purchase it. Too bad.
So this is probably one of my only step aside from the Machinder path but this thing is just a pure beauty and I'm super glad I've finally do this step. Well it's not a big step as he's almost as big as a Jumbo
