So the title says it all, I think I lucked out perhaps on this new edition....
About a week ago, a fellow listed 7 or 8 Godaikins on ebay, including a Dat 17, (which started at 350 an sold for 150), then a Daimos which was complete near mint and only a rip across the face an some minor crease wear and a box with color fading issues, which started at 550 dollars and a best offer option. Next day 450, and firm no offers. Next day 400 best offer. So I thought why not offer 300. I had just seen a mint Daimos in real nice perfect box go for I think it was 700, so I thought this piece is worth 300, and perhaps my only chance to get a quote un-quote "bigger name robot", I am new to this hobby so forgive my ignorance if that is not accurate description of Daimos. Anyhow I got it, did a little 12 minute video review of it, which I will spare you guys as I am sure you all have seen plenty of images an video of Daimos, and it turned out to be very nice IMO. One small paint chip the size of a tiny pin head around chest section where the yellow piece attaches., and he was not missing even one stinkin missile, and I am sure as many of you have learned from Ebay purchases, that can't be taken for granite, lol....
He had a nice complete Goggle V which I really wanted to make a run at as well, but I never bight off more than I can chew so to speak, and when it came down to 300 with buy it now on it, I knew it was a not going to last long, and it lasted about 2 days, before someone snipped it at 250. Oh well, like anything another will come down the road at a time when I can afford it....
Sorry for the rant folks, and if anyone wants to see the video or pick, let me know and I can easily post it up, take care all, and have a fine Thanks giving holiday.....
One last thing, I glued that rip perfectly, and now you have to look close to see it, and it displays much better. Perhaps this is bad idea on my part and it decreases overall value, but I don't care, it makes me happy and is more structurally sound, so it just seems to make since, esp since no glue leaked onto cover and face....
