500 shipped is excellent price. But yes, before great maz was announce, prices are not that bad.

like this if the major companies wont reissue this hobby will be limited for those who started early, i mean most of the EPIC figures are unreachable for most of collectors at the moment

I'd really like to get the SRC Jumbo colors Maz and GMaz, along with a couple of ES Gokins. But dang it... so much coming out nowadays from various lines, backtracking is getting more difficult.

Even if reissues do happen, it is only applies to certain figures. This hobby can be quite unforgiving at times, if you miss preorders, you might end up paying exorbitant prices for some figures later on. On the other hand, if you dip into the market early, before any reviews, you might end up with a dud and regret getting it. And preordering everything that comes our way is just getting way too expensive.

Thank You jaylive for your offer , but i was about to add in my previous post that it will be awesome if they do a reissue for the list and buy them as a new one for your collection, as for the budget i'm okay to buy the GX-06 but there is a risk that prevent me from getting it that there is a Possibility to find a crumbly rubber treads for Getter 3 so it's a hit or miss for me that's why i can't buy the GX-06 from ebay the same goes for GX-20.

Why not try getting used/displayed sets? Can be safer than getting relatively ancient misb sets. At least you will know what you are getting.

I don't get lucky very often but I did a couple of times. I found the GL Konami for $250 in a forum and bought the DX Mazinger about a month begore Great Mazinger was announced.
It's like somebody said playing catch up is pretty expensive so I'm paying more attention to announcements and pre-orders.
And as far as my most coveted Chogokin, I'm longing for the SRC Mazinger in Devilman's colors. So darn expensive though. I also want the GA-01, any version other than Branpresto reissue.

i agree. im broke as hell all the time and i can't spend money on recolors when there's new molds to get. (except that new skl.... thats a must-buy damn you bandai) tell me about it the past couple of months was insane full with POs and all above $100 not to mention if you find a steal deal on something you were looking for forever but the prices was crazy last thing i was between getting Voltes V 40th anniversary or ET Albegas i will let you guess what i chose lol ' and i agree with Gold its hard to backtrack in this hobby at the end its just a hobby if you got whats really matter to you the rest is just because we are greedy lol

Hmmm? I just recently filled my two big holes in my wish list. The wife managed to hunt down a GX-31V Volt In a Box for me for our anniversary. And I just ordered a GX-34R Gunbuster from HLJ who apparently had a few extra above and beyond their sold out pre-orders.
The big ones that I am still on the hunt for at a reasonable price? GX-40 Daimos GX-60 God Sigma The styled GoLion king of Beasts GX-36 Ideon GX-39 Baikanfu
There are also a couple of weird and wacky ones, that while I am not actively hunting for, I would happily add to my collection if I were to stumble upon them, such as GX-37 King Joe or the GX-24 Naked Metal Version.

On the other hand, if you dip into the market early, before any reviews, you might end up with a dud and regret getting it. hehehe.. not really a dud.. one fine's example is the recent SRC SKL. if i knew there will be a reiisue with Wingle wings, i never would gotten myself with a cape version.. well u see those caped SKLs are selling everywhere.. which i thought back then it will run out of stock coz perhaps this is just one shot ull ever get another SKL figure. Most of u will probably end up buying two SKLs just for the sake of having a wing accessory, or probably, already have the caped version and now wanting to ditch it for the wing version. Now that Bandai followed it with an almost same figure with just new gimmick.. surely these SKLs will now flood the market even more hehehe..
