What's a fair selling price for my Godaikin God Sigma? I know I'm not going to collect all the other ones. My mom bought this for me when they went on clearance at Weinstocks. 5/15: More pics added per Jon's suggestion    Chrome issue on the leg  Same chrome issue in combined form  Just also found that the top of the right arm shoulder rod had broken off. Repairing with model glue. |

Nice toy! Cool that you still have something from when you were a kid. Why not keep the vintage just to have it? The ebay auction listings and YJP listings show a pretty accurate picture. Yours looks in nice condition, with a nice box, they usually go, used, for $300-$400 depending on the month. It has to have ALL pieces to get that though. As usual, The BuyItNOws on ebay are a little higher than what they actually sell for. Super mint, unused, old store stock with excellent packaging would go higher, sometimes twice as much, to $500-750. Usually a little less in the market nowadays. The chrome wear is less of a price downer worry, than missing pieces, and sticker peel/wear, since the paint and chrome is imperfect from the factory on 90 percent of the old toys. The best pics to show are of the whole inner tray with everything in it, and different box angles. OH, and fun silly fact:  DX GodSigma is one of the only DX popy toys that does NOT have ANY little round firing missles, of any shape or size, typical of every other toy in the lineup. Haha. |

Nice toy. It is one of the nicer, chunkier popy/godaikin toys and comes with great accessories. I recently purchased a popy (I was on the hunt for a godaikin version) and I absolutely love it.
And yes, Jon is probably the best person to listen to regarding godsigma advice. :-)

Jon, thank you for the info and thank you once again for selling me that GX-31V at a reasonable price! I'll take more pics to show off the condition. I actually have quite a few toys from my childhood. I'm keeping the smaller, older ones for the nostalgia factor. In fact, I recently hunted down a mint Shigcon tank to go with the one I beat up. Both are now proudly displayed together.  Godsigma was given to me close to when I was growing out of toys and comics. So, there isn't that much of an attachment. And honestly, Godsigma needs a better home. It has been sitting in a brown box, not seeing the light of day. Nice toy. It is one of the nicer, chunkier popy/godaikin toys and comes with great accessories. I recently purchased a popy (I was on the hunt for a godaikin version) and I absolutely love it. I was and still am relatively disappointed with the SoC version. Godaikin Godsigma is taller, has firing mechanisms, and has way more accessories. But, I need to pick one.. |

Umm Godaikin? Did someone say Godaikin Godsigma?!? Man would I love to give it a good home. I don't have that one yet, but can't offer as I am trying to finish my U-Combine Combatra. Looks great though.

Looks great though. You're in the SF Bay Area right? That would save a lot of shipping hassle and allow for close inspection (good way to meet a fellow collector  . |

No I am in Northern Cali. 70 miles north of Sacramento. But I do frequent the bay as I have family there.
