You missed part of the link.I think that space near the end is throwing it off and won't take you to the page.

I sure don't know of too many people that liquidate the T28's. It tends to be the last toy to be sold from collections.....

I was wondering what that auction ended up at. I saw it earlier in the week and it had jumped to $1600 within the first couple of days. I can't believe how much it ended at that price! Crazy.

Bandai should kickstart a full reissue series off with the SG-01 and proceed to other classics such as Volt In Box, GoLion, etc.  |

You know Rex, I'll bet they have someone doing research on such a project. Look at the $500. Ryoma Black Getter, or the Marmit Daigokins. Those things sell. Bandai knows their market. I even like that for a title: GFR Full Reissue Series. Brand new full sized Godaikins:T-28, V5, Combattler, Golion, Daltanious...
Actually my credit card will be grateful if they don't.

Honestly though, I would hate to see that happen for a couple of reasons. First, I don't think they would sell all that well because they would be competing with SOCs and the rest of the contemporary gokin market. If they were reissued ten years ago it would be a different story. But the other reason I wouldn't want to see reissues happen is because I feel it would undermine what they deserve to remain as, that being the first and the originals of their kind. I would rather see the originals remain as such and keep the vintage collector market strong. In some weird way I feel if the vintage collector market is strong then it helps keep the contemporary market strong too, and we will keep seeing awesome, new robots come out.

i agree with xiombarg! i prefer not to see reissues too! even if that means i won´t be able to afford some toys that i really want.
it would be like cheating on a videogame. it would be like playing granturismo 4 and entering a cheat code right at the beginning for unlimited credits or get all cars on your garage instantly. that would kill the game i think!
i think that would be like opening the pandoras box for us collectors. we would never be the same again. that could be good or bad that depends of each individual. but if it was bad and one would want to get back to the way it was before that would no longer be possible.

I wouldnt want them to reissue any of those toys. As much as I like them, compared to SOCs, they are not as intricate. Now if they built those toys with full articulation and with all the intricacies we are now accustomed to with the soc line, AND at the original height, then I would be game. of course, lets not forget the metal content:)

Wow- we're still going on this.
I just got done taking my Popy Combattler and VoltesV out of mothballs and actually putting them on display for the first time in over twenty years. I bought both toys new in the spring of '78. Both are the five-box issue. (Yellow joint V5.) It caused me to re-think the idea of perfect re-issues.
A few observations:
Both pieces are statues with moving arms.
You cannot combine the Combattler without losing paint.
The magnets are inadequate for holding the figure together. The rubber band suspender is just sloppy engineering. And anyway you don't really need it unless you're a kid playing robot war, and zooming the thing around.
The people who howled over a few scratches on Godannar would have a sh*t fit over what happens when you join the five units on a Popy Combattler.
The fabled Popy QC isn't as perfect as legend would have it either- Those chrome antennae that fit on top of the Volt Friggate conning towers just flop around. The shooters work- sometimes. On Combattler, the battle-clasher and Battle tank don't fit together well. You can't join them without scratching up the paint on the Battle Clasher. I could nit- pick on, but you get the idea.
Don't get me wrong. They are truly awesome toys. Despite all the flaws, they deserve their legendary status.
I just wonder how well they would really be received by todays audience. They might just get nit-picked to pieces.

IMO, any collectible is worth what you are willing to pay for it. if someone wants to pay $2600 for an incomplete T28 and thinks it worth it, then its worth $2600, TO THE BUYER. no garentees that the same t28 will fetch the same price if it was to go up for auction again.
from my past 3 years observation of ebays godaikin/chogokin trend, the t28 has a wide price range, anywhere from $800 (Full complete boxed set in C8.5 condition) to $5000 (japnese boxed MIB). i had the luck of finding a complete t28, with a C7.5 box with absolutely nothing missing, on ebay a couple of years ago for half of what this one went for ;D ;D
but as with many t28 owners first reaction, it was not as impressive as i thought it was... my childhood memories of seeing it at Toys R us and at japanese toy stores did not match up when i actually had my hands on the actual thing. it contained much more plastic than i had thought and was not very pose-able at all... but still a sight to behold when you see it in any collection!

that´s true! the t28 is one of the toys that has more presence. he commands respect and has an aura of greatness and majesty around him!

First of all, Thanks joydivision for the post. Some of u might have purchased items from us on ebay before and we thank u for that. Some of u might not know us well, we have been selling vintage Japanese toys for few years on ebay now. We dont post on here often but will try to check here more frequent. We were very surprise about this auction that went up this much but like ghosstryda said it all up to how much a collector willing to pay for and thats what it count. It kinda lose the point of collecting toys if is all about the values but T-28 is definily worth every penny  No question to ask, the value will hold forever! At first, We were expect atleast a $1500-1800 sell but this one just went little crazy. The buyer appeared trying to complete a set that he purchase awhile ago T-28(around$1600) did not came with box cover nor inner lid cover. This one happen to have its box cover and lid as well a extra T-28. Well, some of u might think its quite expensive just trying to complete the set (over $4000 for 2 T-28). Our guess is that T-28 dose not offer for sale often and is rarely seen on ebay. If its that rare to see one on ebay, imagine u try to buy it anywhere else(u know what i mean) Thats how hard to get a T-28. Some of u might wonder did this transaction actually complete..yes, in fact it was paid for and deliverd already. We were quite happy but it was sad to see another T-28 gone from our inventory. Luckly, we still have the high $$$$$ all complete JAPANESE version T-28 SG-01(with all paper work and accessaries sealed) in stock so Like ADMIT 1 said, Yes that should be the last item we liquidate on our list Bryan |

The 100% RE-ISSUE-MAKE will definily kill the original issue. Just look at what BANDAI did to the MACROSS VALKYRIES AKA ROBOTECH. It did kill the original TAKATOKU issues. Price drop tremendously in the last few years. That just my 2 cents Bryan |

dx-chogokin-king: i think one of the reasons the auction got so high it is because you have a very high feedback. if it was lower i really doubt it if it would get so high! and we must not forget that there was another bidder that lost the auction by 1 usd!! and i have bought from you before on ebay almost a year ago. and it all went very well |
