Not sure if you guys know but, I was just informed that they will be re-issuing Zambot 3 this year....FYI and a heads up.I'm on it. Already placed an order with HLJ. Was tempted to get the Getter set, but after purchasing the 'M' ver., I didn't like the quality. I think the Getter Dragon, Poseidon, and Liger are better value for the $$$
Yeah, I sold alot of popular characters to pay-off debt. Gundam, Golion, Dairugger XV, DX Daimos, Garbin, Godsigma, Super Ostrich, VF-1JS Strike Valkyrie, SDF-1... kind of sad... oh well. Its only fair. I took care of them since childhood, mint-in-box, they took care of me by paying my debt.
Well at least I can start over again
I was referrring to the Uni-5 Godphoenix Grip re-issue. Not the one that you have. However, the Godphoenix you have, more closely resembles the G5 from the anime. I was amazed that even the wings are in angle like in the show when it rises veritically from the ocean.
I think the place to go is Akihabara. I'm staying nearby. I don't think Tokyo will be the place for collectibles. I'm assuming its mostly fashion.
I'll be going to Mandrake & other stores I found online, and the toy expo that's being held at Big City. They also will have an anime expo the last week of March. Wow! Sexy cosplay girls, I'm there!
Unfortunately, I'm only going to search for the smaller ST chogokins. If I find a good deal, I'll bring them back and auction them to help pay for my trip. Even though SOCs don't seem to possess the same value as their older counterparts, I still like the quality.
Probably, I will just obtain a Grendizer & IDEON during my trip. Any other finds, will be auctioned.
I don't expect to find good deals though. The Japanese are savy when it comes to collecting. They pay high prices for everything. The deals are probably better in HK.
You can find alot of chogokin/popy in Thailand as well. But to find a rare specimen at a steal is also difficult. True collectors know the value of such items. So forget about finding a Tetsujin for pennies on the dollar. But you never know!
