I am looking to get some info on the Getter Robo Go, Jumbo. Now, I know that it is technically one of the easiest of the true Jumbos to get (meaning, an actual Japanese release), but I am wondering what that means in terms of actually finding one and for how much.
Is it pretty much a given that one would have to be importing from Japan, or have enough of them made it to the US that, with some digging, one might find one in the States?
In terms of accessories, what does he have? In some shots of people's collections, it seems as if he might have a sword. Does he? Are there missiles as well? I have no idea.
Finally, what is a reasonable price to pay (exluding shipping) for one in box and also for one out of box (but still complete)? I just so love the Nagai designs, even though this one was not as popular in general (kinda hard to top Getter G Dragon, and even Getter 1 is still awesome).
As for Golion, this is a simple question. Is the LJN "remote control" Jumbo made of the same polyethylene that we all know and love, or is it a different quality of plastic? I really like the Golion design but am only really interested if it is still Jumbo at its core (and with the goofy pedestal removed). Also, this US release came with a sword, even though the original Jumbo did not, correct?
Thanks in advance for any advice/answers!

Getta robo go is a Japan exclusive. If you find one for sale in the states, not from a private collector, you're lucky.
Expect to pay about $300 for him. I think he has a sword, but no missiles.
The LJN golion is the same basic toy as the jumbo machinder. Same material, he fits in nice with the shoguns and JM's. Just unscrew the RC base from the feet. The US version removed the missile launchers from the mouths, but added a sword. The stickers are a little different as well.
