Thank you Erik, but on contrary there's a lot of collectors here who helped me out already so far and I'm forever grateful.
Thanks for being kind, Erik.

BTW, I don't claim I grown up, the fact that I collect toys mean I don't grown up yet, but at least I don't feel bitter if another kid has a bigger & better toy, I just get inspired and do the same later on, and then everyone's happy. Erik please understand I'm just proud of my collections, that's why. Please don't show your real colors on this board, especially you're a veteran collector and has reputation. Peace bro!  |

you have spent the past 36 days posting on this thread started by you on what the jumbo is worth and what you would be willing to spend or not spend. now you don't want to post what you paid for that item?
also that was very discourteous of you to gloat on that post. when people posted that you would have difficulty getting voltes, it was not an attack of character. it was just the probability is not likely due to the low numbers of these still in existence. the reward should be the voltes that you wanted. not the satisfaction of rubbing our noses in the fact that you were fortunate.

Ok let's just keep this thread wholesome, I don't mean to rub it how fortunate I was. I apologize to those people who felt insulted. But when I started this thread I have no idea how much the jumbo is, 2 months ago I didn't even know Jumbo Voltes existed, so I got excited and planned to get this, then some people who's been collecting for years are being negative and saying "good luck" or "get in line" made me more motivated to get this as soon as possible and as cheap as possible. And when I got it I was happy and told everybody I don't want to get in line anymore, then some people called me "Jackass" and the hell broke loose. If you get some toy that you want before I do, even if you post it here in big pictures and multiple times, I will just be happy for you and instead of being bitter/jealous/hater/dying of envy. But don't call me "Jackass" or whatever name calling you may think of, because they just think I'm gloating or whatever. Some people here on RJ are happy for me, and I appreciate that (I received a lot of PM after that), to those people who think I'm gloating or rubbing it on anybody's nose, I think they're just jealous that they're still on the "line", and for that I'm sorry. Peace RJ members! |

I agree, im sure everyone else is interested to see your new catch.  And yes, since this thread is about the price of a Jumbo V5, I would be very much interested on the price you paid for it. Afterall, vintage toys is a buyers market, so the trend in prices would very much give us an idea on "current" prices for specific pieces, like this one. |

Yeah, it would be nice to see more than the two random cell phone pics? I would assume with the time and effort put into this post EVERY single day we would have pics already.. Also, I agree with the last poster, as this thread is about the value of a Voltes V Jumbo Machinder I think it only fair that you openly share the price you paid with the rest of us publicly. Also, where did you get it? I think we should let bygones be bygones and get on with sharing info, right? You can't just let the momentum of this thread die garu. C'mon man! "Okay, I promised a moderator to stop arguing. " Who the hell said we were arguing?? |

Very nice! Good score.
Now, is the Voltes jumbo that turns into a child's ride-on toy a different one, or this one?

Yes it's this one. It turns into tank mode like the die-cast versions. There's a wheel attachment that you can attach to it's torso.
