Oh how I wish I could. Travel plans are on hold a bit , these home renovation plans are killing me, new hoop to jump through every day with permits and reviews and architects..Been one delay after another and thats just trying to get started. Sure does sound like a good weekend getaway though.I'm long overdue a robot collecting related trip. Hopefully this spring and summer things get back on track around here.

Do a closed auction search on Ebay and you will get the most recent real prices. Condition is everything.

¥1,869,000 yen? Over $15,000 USD? WTF? Why wouldn't you guys post the ending bid here? Is it against forum rules or something? Live auctions is a NO NO, I just tend to avoid links to auctions period.Screenshots work well for showing ending price, but I'm not familiar with any rules against posting closed auctions.

I'd have to take mine out and compare everything,missiles looked close to regular Jm missiles but were one piece. Mine only had 2 but has clip space for 4, not sure if it supposed to have 4 or not. the rocket for back is like a 6 inch plastic missile, launches about 2-3 foot straight up.Wrist launcher seemed week compared to pop launchers but it also makes slight contact with fist on way out. Super happy with mine. BBTS and its insane shipping had my toy inside 4 boxes for safety.lol.

I'm curious to see what the next few years will bring, will we see prices drop? how low will they drop? Everything seems to have slowly risen to a degree but some of the later pieces are absurdly high IMO. Id love for things to come back to more obtainable prices so I can pick up some of the pieces I'm still after. Strange pulling up my old auction listings made it look like the Leo had ended early, but I guess it didn't when I first saw it close. As much as I like the spazer and think its an amazing piece I'm in no rush to track one down, besides price it is a pretty big piece, Daiku on the other hand I would love to have one day.The other dragons are cool but not high in priority. I can see why some don't like the villains, I myself am obsessed with them and their designs, but I also love vinyls. The humanoids just have a funk that I dig, they really stand out on a shelf to me and if I ever find the time to finish my customs they are mostly humanoid ideas. I'd love to have a Taro body to mold and cast for some of my ideas but I don't see me messing up mine to learn mold making..
Who am I kidding. I think I love every dang JM for a different reason. Since my first I've been hooked.
*mindless rambling as I'm interrupted every 2 seconds by these 2 kids running around*

I don't remember if that Leo/Taro set sold or if it was ended early. Considering most hadn't seen a box for a Leo period, I tend to believe it was ended early for big bucks.
***looked back and my listing shows 1 Yen so it was definitely closed early.
Its always crazy to me to see how some of those pieces I passed on that were pretty common and cheap have moved into such high range items, and how some of the older more rare pieces have stayed close to same prices(minor increases). Pretty decent list, I'm pretty certain we could sit here for days tweaking one up, two down. Wish we had solid production numbers of everything, even thought that means little to what has survived over the years.Would be interesting to see actual numbers on what is known to have survived the years,I'm sure that would effect the numbers.

Robot factory prices have gone nuts, as well as the later run JMs, they're not necessarily super rare( but 4 in a year isn't really that many, especially when maybe 1 a year or none is the norm) just highly in demand. Leo is one of my major wants. Just having 2 pop up doesn't make him less rare( there are 2 variations as well that factor into price) I've seen a few years between some of his listings. 10 years ago Jumboland was slowly getting out of sync with JM collecting being made on data and markets from the few years prior. The last 10 years a lot has happened, tons of new collectors and more discoveries. I think a list of rarities and in demand pieces would look totally different today. What was the timespan on the Garada auctions and how many have we seen since? Popularity and rarity seem to get mixed up a lot. I hope I hit it big in the lotto, I have about 10 or so left to get and I need villains in my life too. Maybe I can convince the wife we need to tack on a few $k to our home renovation loan for JMs..

I'm wondering when actual release date is.Shadow troop came out for star wars celebration,and was exclusive to that I believe. Fett is getting a widespread release, seeing more pics I'm wondering if it's coming up fast or if we have to wait for a SDCC release first as i've heard mention of.
Edit: Looks as if some Fetts came out at celebration..already a few on ebay for 500+

My son has a Dragun and Reideen he loves, he's smashed and bashed and tried to destroy them but they stand strong( few splits and cracks ). It's awesome to watch him enjoy and build an appreciation for what may one day be his collection.

Price. The ones I'm after are a bit out of reach for me at this time, hopefully I can remedy that soon, I need a new JM on the shelf.

Keep your eyes peeled on eBay , Yahoo japan, and amazon.I pre ordered my doublas and Kingdan direct thru medicom site. Also check local comic shops.I had a few of mine preordered thru a friends shop. I still need to find the Kame Bazooka, it continues to evade me...
