I remember that, GM episode 25, right? Maz comes back all upgraded. I don't wanna spoil this for fans, but I thought the Great Maz series ended ... well... ...search YouTube for the final episode of that series and you'll see wasup. I'd still collect it and subtitle it, but it won't Wow! me like the Mazinger-Z series did. lol The Great Mazinger robot itself is no doubt badass, I wish it had gotten better props. zozo-mag I don't think Great Mazinger was ever as popular as Mazinger Z. Hell, they even had to bring back Mazinger Z in the final episodes of the Great Mazinger series to raise the ratings! }D

I wonder what will drop in price next, as this seems to be pretty usual now. I know the SRC Grendizer was $36 a day ago... }D

Perhaps Amazon is doing this to stimulate the market and move inventory. Would it work in Our favor if these items sat in stock too long that Amazon would then HAVE to drop prices in order to get rid of them?
When you look at all their markets (customer base) in different categories, the Japanese Toy market is a shopping category of its own against other stuff that folks like to shop for such as electronics, discount store items, clothing, household goods, etc...
...I wonder how Our market looks in size (percentage of shoppers) compared to everyone else.

I've been watching DX Mazinger like a hawk on Amazon, ever since I got my Scrander for $46. There's only 4 in stock of DX Mazinger left. It hasn't budged lower than $403-404. I'm sure if it even drops to $375, those 4 will go *POOF* and disappear instantly. Magengar, congrats on your DX Mazinger and Scrander! I almost got a little teary eyed watching that video. Totally heartwarming and captured the spirit of Christmas. (And I say that in a manly way.)

Thanks, bro! Yes, the guys here really touched my heart with so much love and robot spirits, I'm still wonder-struck from it. I wanted to wait until after the holiday season to start going after the DX Mazinger-Z/Jet Scrander sets. But to be honest, at the low rate my job pays me, it would have taken me forever to afford this item. I was even saving money aside for it, but other priorities popped up and I had to keep up with bills while making up for lost hours at work ( I work part-time, 25 hrs weekly, and I get paid every two weeks) and I recently moved into a new apartment with my roommates, which really tore away at my DX savings and now I'm paying more rent for the new apartment, on top of my share of the bills. That's why it's been taking me so long to get the DX. I had put the DX out of my mind for a while, and just continued reading more info and studying about it online, downloading the manuals just so I could have reading material to go with my coffee. To suddenly get the DX Maz stuff (plus all them other gifts) on the weekend right before Christmas day... it blew my mind, like a live dream. I can't believe I'm holding the DX Maz in my bare hands right now. Upon unwrapping the boxes for the DX stuff I collapsed into a "Robogasm" as Kasey put it. I still cry as I watch the video. I'm burning a copy of it on DVD so that I can keep the DVD stored inside the DX hangar or under its base and I can watch it on my standalone TV anytime. Even at its current price, it is still selling hot off the shelves with the quickness, because fans are willing to spend that kind of money on it. I'm now thinking of getting a DX Maz for my younger stepbrother... ...he served in Afghanistan as a U.S. Army helicopter pilot and flew over 200 missions to Iraq without ever getting shot down... he and I used to watch the Mazinger-Z series when we were teens, and he's had all the mangas and dubbed VHS copies of the series. So, he basically raised me on Mazinger-Z. This is the happiest time of my life right now; and I can't thank you folks enough! Merry after-Christmas, and Happy New Year! zozo-mag I've been watching DX Mazinger like a hawk on Amazon, ever since I got my Scrander for $46. There's only 4 in stock of DX Mazinger left.

You know Tony, I was going to do the closing credits video of the 1972 Mazinger Z anime with the DX. However, I think I'll leave that project to you now. }D

Don't tempt me... damn, now you make me wanna do it! Naw, YOU do it! Mazinger-Z was always the first in everything... ...he started all of Bandai's chogokin lines and super-robot model kit lines... TheMazingerZ had his DX Maz first before many of us... Therefore I think TheMazingerZ should do the honors with the Closing Credits rendition! For the body shots, keep the camera mounted on the tripod and adjust the tripod at different heights to get pics from head to toe. Use that soundtrack from the albums... if you don't have it I'll send you an mp3 of it. zozo-mag You know Tony, I was going to do the closing credits video of the 1972 Mazinger Z anime with the DX.

If I ever get back to work on my 3D Mazinger-Z "Ashler's Revenge" movie I think I will use the DX that way for the closing credits after the movie. Now the question is: WHEN??? I still need to finish upgrading my desktop computer. I already have two large hard-drives for it; now I gotta find more RAM sticks to upgrade the memory to 4gb... 4 1gb RAM sticks or 2 2gb sticks, low-density non ECC. That's a project for another day. schmbluuuuuuuuuugh zozo-mag LOL! Yeah, I hear you. I just don't have a clue of when I'm gonna be able to get to that!!! }D

Mage that,s awesome you,re upgrading your computer.
I happily used and upgraded my computer for over eight years! Till I blew up two CPUs and the motherboard when I tried to upgrade my CPU.... I blame that CPU cooler from hell and the lousy intel designed pegs. Just be careful when it comes to that.
I got my win 8 machine last month but I still really miss my eight year old tricked out Xp...
