I picked up a set of these cute SD figures (Gaiking, Daiku Maryu, Daltantius, Combattler, Voltes V, and one other) and now I want more. They look adorable on my monitor at work. Anyone know where I can get more? Perhaps one of Godsigma, Danguard A, Grendizer, or Getter Rogo G??

I've seen some on ebay, auctioned and sold in packs which include
all sorts of super-robot Gashapons thrown in (robots And vehicles).
They're usually posted by Hong Kong vendors.
I bought a Hover Pilder gashapon from a vendor in Hong Kong
last summer. They are cute indeed, great for desktop ornaments.
I'd like to see guys and gals wearing them as Hair ornaments
at parades and festivals. ;D

Thanks for the links, Quin.  One thing i do worry about is that toy store sells them randomly. Meaning, you may order a certain gashapon... they'll randomly pick some other gashapon from stock and send it to you. If you order several gashies in a box or a lot, they might send you random items or dupes. Remember, these are small toys sold in Japan through capsule machines. They're also sold packaged in a "blind" box, so you never know what yer gonna get. That sounds like fun over there in Japan. But, here in the U.S. (as a consumer), I should get exactly what I paid for... ...If someone comes to my car lot to buy a car, would I randomly sell the customer a skateboard? Fck NO! ;D zozo-Mag |

You can get them to sell you specific toys in most cases (just scroll down for the complete lists). It sometimes costs a couple of dollars more, but considering the alternative in many cases is not having a toy at all, it's not a bad deal.
Those banpresto SRW gokins are totally worth it, by the way.
