I didn't see any threads on this topic, so I thought to create one. Sure, we all know about the Getters, Mazingers, etc. What about this gold plated cigarette lighter? I have no clue about the series or if its Lightan's job to lite the cigarettes of the children of Japan. But Bandai's releasing the entire SOC line around March 2007. Here are the ones to be available: Gold Lightan Scope Lightan Mechanic Lightan Time Lightan IC Lightan - what a name... integrated circuit Denji Lightan There's also the box wood set including all for $200+ They didn't seem appealing at first, but they have that nostalgia about them. I was thinking of getting Denji Lightan. It sells for about $38 US.

The only Gold Lightan reissue I really like is the giant silver Hung Hing toy model.

I guess that is why I can appreciate this Lightan set. I grew up in the 80's thus it's a memorable toy for me. But I already have an SOC Gold Lightan. Individually, are they package like the old style popy box. I've seen these being on the pre order at BBTS and they sell individual ones. If they are reissue like THE CHOGOKIN series, where the box are like the old Popy's, I might get a Gold Lightan.

I've only ever seen images of these (on this forum mainly) and have never had a chance to pick one up. I am a very tactile collector so being able to touch one of of these may sway me to getting a couple.....I mean, the idea of a robot lighter is a little warped....but then again, kinda cool. ;D And finsh on these reminds me of the DUNHILL lighters my father used....again cool. When I first viewed images of BossBorot I remeber I wasn't very impressed either....then a store i buy a lot of Japanese stuff from had one pretty cheap so a took a look at him and when I picked him up I was HOOKED....now he is one of my fav. SOC's. I'll probably find the same thing will happen with these little bumpy, gold boxes..... ;D
