Honestly these are all really common except for dancouga nova, gravion, and some of the rare recolors.
For sausuraiger, the going rate is about $5, for baldios and the rest of the guys it is about $10. Dancouga is a little higher. These prices are before shipping.
Don't pay more than $15-$20 for most of these. They were $30 retail when they came out.

Don't pay more than $15-$20 for most of these. They were $30 retail when they came out. Really? We must be looking in different places as I have never seen Baldios for that cheap. I see him frequently about the same cost as it would be retail. |

Post your wanted list or PM me and I will keep an eye out for you.
Most of these are unwanted, sadly. Baldios should run you $15 -20 max, or less. Just because you see people charging a certain amount, doesn't mean that you should pay that much.

Thanks Mr. Ginrai. Found Baldios at a decent price. Still cannot believe the prices people are selling Gravion for.

Thanks Mr. Ginrai. Found Baldios at a decent price. Still cannot believe the prices people are selling Gravion for. I think it's because the GNU Dou is the only decent Gravion figure out there. There are two other Gravion figures that I know of. One is a large vinyl statue made by Miracle Productions a couple of years ago that looks nice but has no articulation, and the other is a very small (4.5 inches or 12 cm) transforming version that was made by SHE about seven years ago. The SHE version was one of three Gravion figures that combined to make the super god Gravion (or some name like that) which was maybe 6.5 inches tall. The SHE figures are very small, very expensive, and more interesting than they are fun to play with. Sort of feels like you are holding a piece of engineered clockwork and it's barely bigger than a Star Wars action figure. The joints tend to loosen quickly so you have to have a small screw driver handy if you fiddle with him too much. So basically the GNU Dou is the best Gravion bang for your buck and the only really playable figure of the three. So anyway that's where the high asking price comes from. |

I really appreciate the info. I never realized Gravion was so popular. I guess I will just have to hope to find it at a decent price or, better even yet, a Super Robot Chogokin is released for the character. It was, after all, on the WANT list alongside some of the others we have gotten recently. Here's to hoping! |

Picked up Baldios. What an awesome figure. Enhances my surprise that people don't dig these more. Underrated figures!

I like my VF-11b. They look cool, and they are fun as hell to play with. I wouldn't buy a lot of them though.

No interest in the Macross figures but they look nice. The Super Robots they have are pretty much must owns in my opinion. To cheap to pass up. They loom awesome on the shelf. They also match SRC in size.

 UPS finally came...Ugh...if only I had about Five more dollars to get the last of the three... I gotta say, these are great figures...their frames allow for fantasic posability in MOST areas and even IF something pops off, it easily comes back on. The paint is some of the cleanest, crispest, most beautiful applications I have ever seen on a figure. Just look at Braiger's beautiful eyes in that shot...though... The Shoulder design should have been thought out a little more. Neither figure can put their arm out very far if at all. I don't know if this is the J9 mecha's design, or an oversight on Yamato's frame... Braiger's claws are TERRIBLE. they constantly fall apart as you try to do the most basic things with them >_> I'm always afraid they'll fall off if I breathe too hard and it's the main reason I have it in the "Brai-Sword Beam" pose. they should have used a metal pin instead of plastic pegs. Baxingar has a hard time standing due to the design of the feet...a combination of Dog-Feet (no heels) and a lack of side-to-side makes the figure hard to balance...I moreso blame Baxingar's design though, since Braiger can stand much easier despite having NO side-to-side in its feet. Accessories are sorely lacking, but for $10-15 before shipping per figure. I Shouldn't complain....even IF I really wanted the Brai-Spear, Brai-Guns, and Brai Cannon....and whatever toys Baxingar has to play with... All in all, They're worth buying. They are an AMAZING Value and Yamato should have kept making these using mecha designs that aren't extremely popular. Also, they're in scale with SRCs which is a MASSIVE plus in my book. |

The yamato display stands for these were kind of nice and are really hard to find as well. They can be stacked in columns and joined at the sides and came in different base colors like the tamashii stands.

Where can I get those GN Dou nowadays? I regret that I didn't pick them up when they used to be every where!

If you look at my earlier replies in this thread you will see some bits of advice. Are you in the US? If so, post or PM the ones you are looking for and I can keep an eye out for you. |

Congrats on getting those. They are fun! If you like those get Dancouga! I love both of them I actually HAVE Dancouga ordered...I'm just waiting for USPS to ship it. Payed about $28 after shipping and I'm hoping it was worth it...though I do hope the Revorama Dancouga Backpack that TMZ shared will actually fit...if not. I wonder how I can get it to... Where can I get those GN Dou nowadays? I regret that I didn't pick them up when they used to be every where! I got mine on amazon. MOST of them are dirt cheap, yet some of the older/rarer ones can go upwards of $120...but the J9 trio only go for up to $15 a pop after shipping, Both Dancougas cap at about $30, and there are a lot of Variable Fighters that go for a wide price range from cheap to don't bother. |

You can probably upscale the PDF in Photoshop. Would be pretty easy.

I do not think I spent more than $20USD on any of them. Some were about $10. I have all but Gravion

It seems to me like it would squeeze in a Revo-Joint on the back of the figure, using the toy's design to hold it steady... I don't know if this piece would even be SLIGHTLY useful anymore, and what could I do to substitute it? |
