OMG! I don't know if to like it or hate it, but it is a rare one indeed!

I think it's a lot more mechanically interesting than most Jumbos.

It is interesting. I saw another gundam jumbo (japanese version i think) in one of the Japan/HK trip pics that DOE or one of the guys put up. Don't know if I like the colorway of this one here.

Yes it is.  Would be cool to see it next to a regular Jumbo.

I have to wonder how much that thing goes for $$$.

The price was very low for such a rare item. It's taller than regular jumbos, like Takara's Jeeg, and very cool, loaded with tons of weapons and accessories, as you can see. At today only one mint and sealed in box surfaced. Last, but not least, was the one and only officially licensed Gundam jumbo, issued in 1980 only for Italian market....

True dat! One of my holy grails. I'd even settle for the Junior version!

It's a cool jumbo, for sure. The couple collectors I know that have one , complete or pieces, tell funny stories of chasing them/bidding them etc.

Which brings the question, Why is this in the "General" toy section??? This should completely be in the "Jumbo" forums.

Several other "General Toy" threads have a nice specific forum home they should be in. Not trying to be grouchy, just pointing it out, would get more pointed discussion/attention in the right area.
