Does anyone here know how much an original Bandai Black Reideen goes for (Boxed and Loose)? Also, did Bandai release a Gold version?

I know they release a gold one around 2000.
They try to sell it around $100 on Yahoo Japan which includes shipping.
I like mine! ;D
The black one for sure over $800.
I am not sure how limited it was.
Someone has to know!

It doesn't look like there was a gold ga-09, though they did produce a gold ga-09R as rednecktx notes.
There was a limited run fairly recently of black recolors...reideen, godsigma, and one other one...they tend not to be THAT expensive. Apparently, the mold they used for reideen shows it's age, and is reported to be pretty crappy.
As far as vintage black reideens, YJ is the place to go. There's usually one MIB one up...it's been up for quite a while too, as the seller is looking for 240,000Y for it. You may have better luck getting a used/loose one for significantly less.
good luck...

I desperately need ANY version of black raideen. either the limited THE CHOGOKIN release, the ga-09RB, or the original, (although the original is more than i can afford).
Someone bought the re-release out from under my nose on YJ recently...
It was a 8,000Y BIN, and when i went to bid, it was gone...
Ah well..

Do the Gold or (recent run) Black Reideens ever appear on ebay, or are they strictly Yahoo Japan items?

They rarely show up on ebay, but it has happened.
The gold is much more common than the black.

There was a limited run fairly recently of black recolors...reideen, godsigma, and one other one.... These 3 appear to be the recent black versions: I noticed that there is no gold trim on Reideen, like there is on The Chogokin version. Did the original Black Reideen have the gold trim?

YJ is the way to go if you want the gold reideen...it rarely appears on e-bay, and when it does, the sellers demand exorbinant prices.
Those black ones that JB has above...those pop up every now and again...there was a set of all 3 that went about a year ago for $150. I'm kicking myself that I didn' t get them now. I've seen individual ones go for about $100 each.
I think I've seen one black reideen on e-bay, but that was also priced through the roof.

....the gold trim?

The gold trim was on the original black raideen but NOT on the reissue.

The trim really gives it an elegant look; since I'm not about to pay a fortune for an original, I must once again go the way of The Chogokin.
