One of my earliest memories as a child was of T-28 (early 80's). In a store in pioneer square cald Magic Mouse. I remember being in total amazement that it had elevators inside of it. Not to mention it was HUGE! There was nothing like it. Of course it was to expensive and my parents would not buy it ($70.00). Although my dad over the years, christmas and bithdays, bought me Google V, Voltus V, God Marz, Gardain. Google V was my fist Godaikin. My dad got it for free from his work because the box was damaged in transit, it only had the styro and the toy, no front box top or instructions...Thus my Giant Robot obsession began.
Now fast forward 23 years. I acquired a MIB unplayed with everthing included T-28 off ebay a few years ago for $1200.00. It was the most money I've ever paid for a toy and probably ever will. Was it worth it...well yes and no. It allowed me to live my childhood dream for a brief spell. But on the other hand I just SPENT $1200.00 bucks on a toy. So I decided to sell it 8 months later back on ebay. The auction ended at an astounding $2200.00 + shipping.
To call us toy collectors crazy would be a gross understatement. ;D
