Was checking some ebay new auction listings and missed out by 1 minute on a Dragun and 2nd version Raydeen with all accessories and boxes in fair shape @ Buy It Now $55 each.
I did keep refreshing and snagged a 1st version Mazinga with all missiles and box, but no swords and a taped firing arm for the $55 listed Buy It Now.
I most likely really don't need him, but I couldn't just let it pass at the price for completing out my other jumbos with missiles.

BRAG! The missiles alone are worth it! No reason to cry. If that was the case every time I missed a cheap Jumbo, i'd have to change hobbies. But, then again, thats the fun of getting those long sought after vinyl kings at a bargain price. Brag on!

And the near misses are what spurs you on to dig deeper and be more vigilant! ~Will

The cry part was "tongue in cheek", Seems like there has been some better prices on ebay lately, and yet some jumbos go for much more. Must be the luck of the draw for a bidding war.
I am not much of a box collector and will see about offering this Mazinga first here. I mainly wanted the missiles and another original condor ship. I will outfit it with a repro swords and ship, but I haven't gotten into the missile making repros yet as there is a seller on ebay and has good pricing IMO for them.

Though I only see the later edition clipped veined missiles. Not the Triangular 1st editions. Now something that would be cool to have is the revered color missiles which are rare(White body/red wings) And colored missiles. I be there would be a decent market there for you. ~Will

I got a set of those repro white missiles with the clipped red fins. They are quite nice and are really close to the original missile design. Though they don't have that little white accent at the back of the wings(I'm sure that would have been a pain to recreate with dye). They work with all the standard missile firing mechanisms on the various Mattel Shoguns.
