I want to pick this up some day. I wonder what the value will be though. I've been trying to sell my Fewture Liger and Poseidon, amazing figures, but can't even get 400 shipped each for them when they were much more than that at US retail and even north of 400 after shipping via a proper Asia-based order. Makes me want to wait and see if I can get one for 350-400 in 6-12 months.

After the initial frenzy these figures always drop in price at retail. The trick is to have patience and to remember these are being mass produced in Chinese factories just like any other mass produced toy. It's unfortunate their pricing strategy is so bloated to begin with though, and it's kinda why I have a certain disdain for Fewture's die-cast robots.

Congrats to those getting this awesome figure! I would love to see a picture of Grendizer, Great Mazinger, and Getter Dragon together it would be epic.

The problem with trying to sell these figures after release is that most of the people that wanted them already got them, and of those people, most of them got them by pre-order. Let's face it, not a whole lot of people are willing to pay in excess of $400 for an action figure, and much less when it is a twisted representation of the character they really like. Even the most awaited and pretty awesome Ryoma Mode Black Getter Changing Set never really dropped much lower than initial release, and Fewture truly flooded the market with that one in particular. The ones found for unrealisticaly low prices usually have a lot of QC issues. }D

that little maz in the bottom is a SRC? off topic its the SRC Shin Mazinger the only reason i got it is because it come up with some cool accessories back to topic i guess Fewture EX Gokins become more expensive with time the price for great Mazinger (first release) last time i checked was $700 which is really waaaaay to much thats what i hate about Fewture they dont do reissue like Bandai thats why the price only go up

These appeal to a limited market that you are likely right in thinking is satisfied by preorders and whatever stock stores have on release.

These appeal to a limited market that you are likely right in thinking is satisfied by preorders and whatever stock stores have on release. I know this is slightly off point here... but "Limited market" is rather relative... for example, these are everywhere (that this sort of thing is sold) in Japan and Hong Kong. There is a skewed perception about how readily available these products really are, and their perceived scarcity. We get screwed because we have to rely on web stores, which is why I feel like a sucker being asked to pay $500 for something that's readily available in stores overseas - and for considerably less. In my experience Fewture's robots are some of the worst offenders when it comes to inflated online prices.
