I agree Brandon is a super nice guy but how do you order from him now? The site is no longer updated and he does not return emails. Just curious the only time I see him is at the local Toy Shows. Im in New Jersey and I ordered from 3 different places. They were all shipped when received by the sellers. In order from quickest to slowest with total price after tax/shipping. 1. Supreme Collector BST $338: shipped 11/16, delivered 11/18 2. BBTS $366.78: arrived at BBTS 11/21, shipped 11/24, delivered 11/27 3. Entertainment Earth $362.51: shipped 11/20, delivered 11/30 All of them arrived perfect condition and the Supreme BST order even came in the Bandai shipping box. The fastest ended up being the lowest priced. Go figure. Brandon from Supreme Collector is truly a class act. This dude must be recognized somehow big time for how much he does and contributes for the toy community. I'm thankful he lives only north of me while in the same state.

Thank you Ed! I agree this guy is hard to find in this condition. I have seen only four total on Ebay in the last two years. Two with boxes (this was one of them) and two loose. Now just to find the oddball Dancouga ST and Machine Man!
[/quote]I absolutely LOVE this guy, congratulations! I consider it the toughest Godaikin to source out there.... at least for me! [/quote]

In Northern California they had them at small toy stores and comic book shops. In Napa where I grew up and still live we had a Toy Shop that carried them and they were also sold at Mervyn's and Montgomery Wards here. They would have large displays of them in the toy sections but they were very expensive and I never got one as a child. Have many now as an adult and the majority are brand new never out of the box!

Could not agree with you more on the new items. With the constant reissues there is not much fun in getting anything as it is far too easy. It truly is about the hunt! Congrats on the T-28 WOW! I am super jealous! How did you come upon this one locally? 2 things: •Well, how is it? Does it live up to the hype? •Dude, you can't retire! There's so much more good stuff to come. Also, where else is can blow this kind of money without winding up on "vacation" in a treatment facility? Having known what this was since I was kid let’s say I was completely fixated when I first saw it in person. It was like unraveling a treasure chest for me. Never seen complete never played with T-28. I knew I wanted it but do I really want to spend so much money on it. I recently just wanted these Godaikins just couple months ago so my expectations were low. But with that said, it’s biggest metal robot in my collection and doesn’t fit in any of my display cases. I’m going to buy some special custom case for it to display it. Its just as heavy as New DX Combattler V. It’s even bigger than matchbox vehicle Voltron but that’s all plastic. So it’s big and heavy. Zero leg articulation but it’s those metal plates that open up and that elevator thing that are so cool. I didn’t take figures out I think I’m going to leave those stapled up for now. Fist shoot and hands open up which was cool. For its size and shelf prescence alone I have no problems or regrets buying it. I personally think I would be regretting more if I didn’t buy it. I did some thinking on way down to meet seller while sitting in traffic. I’m like ok I’m officially in deep end of pool in collecting and won’t buy anything this expensive again. This will be my pinnacle of my collection since this has lots of nostalgia for me. The 70s era mecha Toys don’t do anything for me since I have few and didn’t know or grow up with those. My God Marz that I just snagged so fast is coming next week then I’ll be done. I’ll still collect some of new stuff but very selective. The new stuff is great and looks good but doesn’t have that collectible desirable appeal. It’s just too easy to get and Companies just keeps reissuing things. Part of fun of collecting is the hunt.

That is awesome! My wife was just the opposite when I had the opportunity. She was telling me just buy it if you want you can just sell it later. But that still couldn't push me over the edge! Just have never spent more than $500 on a toy. Couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger. Definitely regret it now of course. That same day another vendor bought it and sold it at the same show for $3000. Do you mind me asking what you paid? Also where are you located? The show I go to is in San Jose California. Great show always lots of goodies. Unfortunately no extra God Mars or Goggle V. But watch Ebay right now. There is a seller from up by Sacramento here that used to sell Godaikins and he is selling brand new old stock and has been for the last couple of months. He has sold a Goggle V already but he more than likely has more so keep your eyes peeled. Um definitely buy it! I was dumb enough to pass up a brand new mint mint mint Voltes last year for $900. I had never spent that on one toy was the only reason I held off. Hope you got it! Yes I got it. Definitely got it after sitting on it during lunch time. I was the same like do I really want to spend this money on this. I could buy a new frig(already got that), storage for the house(just got that) other stuff for the house(check). Ok I got green light. Of course my wife wasn’t with me when I bought it. 😜😀 Do you have extra God Mars or Google V for sale?

Went to local collectible show and the only thing that interested me was this. Had lunch with my collector friend and contemplating purchase. What the heck why not get it when I’m going to find complete mint Voltes V in person again.

Replaced my rough Bio Dragon last week with a brand new one! Purchased this from the same seller I got my Abega from. All his items are brand new as he sold them in the 80s in the Sacramento area here in California. Anyone who is interested in Bio Dragon let me know. I will be selling the old one. It is not complete and has a few issues here and there (missing one hinge on the flight deck) but displays awesome and would be a amazing starter piece for someone into collecting either Bio Man, Godaikin, or Sentai. Just message me if interested.

My Godaikin God Sigma is brand new and has the kind of dull paint that you are describing. Definitely not chrome on mine.

I typically do have the auctions end on Sunday in the Evening but I had so many GI Joe auctions that I lost track of time! Am happy with what everything sold for though. Too bad you missed out! Thank you for the tip though, will definitely put that to use next round of auctions. Hi Dooquie, was interested in bidding on your items but got pulled away by work stuff right when the auction ended. Just a tip but I notice big differences in ebay results depending on the day and time of day the auction ends. You should consider evening/weekend endings unless you are trying to sell to Asia... it will give more people a chance usually.

First tried just rubbing and was working but slowly. Used a little pledge and soft microfiber cloth and came off immediately. I learned a while back about using pledge and it works well on everything. Including the box! You do not want to saturate the cloth though. A little goes a long way. Thanks Dooquie, how did you clean of the styrofoam? Just rubbing it or with something else?

I am not sure? I live in Napa and we have three or four within a two hour drive. The best one is in San Jose and actually is this weekend. I went yesterday and got a brand new small Bio Man, Daidenjin, and a bunch of case fresh Machine Robos. If you do find a list I would be interested! The other shows in our area that I go to are in Sacramento, San Leandro, and Santa Rosa. The San Jose show is like three times a year though and is always good. Lots of treasure! Hi speaking of toy shows Dooquie, is there a good/updated online list of them for the USA?
