There should be more sites listing them shortly as the scrander and the new daigokin were just anounced recently. I'll be on the lookout.

There's a new Daigokin in the pipeline? Which one?

Yes another Mazinger, version #3 . Plus there will be a die cast scrander sold separately. Speculation is that its going to be another shade of blue, and it's not known yet whether the sculpt has changed or not in order to accept the scrander.

Ahh I see. I was hoping for another character altogether, like Getter Dragon.

Thanks for the pic!
Hmm, definitely better than the lighter blue of the second version, which I didn't like at all.
And perhaps a shade lighter than the first version, so more anime accurate?
But I think the blue on the first version matches with the Great Maz Daigokin a little better...

Do you guys know how much the Maz is going for when it comes out?

Dammit, that looks good with the Scrander...Annoying though, I'm sure, for folks who've already paid several hundred $$$ for one of the older versions sans Scrander.

Seems to be the exact sculpt as the original one. I am waiting for the Scrander to become available somewhere other than Ebay, where they want almost $70 for shipping alone!!!

OK, I'm retarded...so the Scrander is being sold separately. Phew. Fingers crossed then that the Scrander will fit my first version Maz.

I want a Daigokin Grendizer. If you know where I can get one at good prices let me know! To be honest, I've yet to see any Daigokin sell for a "good" price. They basically sell for MSRP at the time of release, then just go up as time passes and the already scarce quantities grow scarcer. There's little shopping around or market timing you can do. I think if you want one, just buy one. You'll find that the world doesn't end after you drop several hundred $$$ for a gokin! |

I have to agree with emerson's comment above. I have all three Dai Gokins, Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, and Grendizer... and I have only seen the price go up with time.

I know, I'm trying to save a bit on it. There is a sale right now at Toy-Wave, but they replied to me that it is sold out. But their pages is still marked as limited stock.
Is it a way to not sell it to save money for them, or is it really ou of stock?

I'm sure it's out of stock. You can save money by not BUYING, but I've never seen anyone save money by not SELLING haha. As I mentioned, I would just grab the next one you find if you really want one. Prices on toys go down if there's oversupply from too large a first run and sellers need to unload excess stock, or the manufacturer starts spitting out reissues, or another toy of comparable or better value acts as a substitute. None of these scenarios applies to the Daigokin, so I say get em while you can!

It says that the Scrander's main body is made of diecast while the wings are painted ABS. |

Awesome...I hate heavy accessories that throw off the center of balance of the main toy.
