The Starzinger is the most valuable of the three. You should be able to find recent closed auctions for it on ebay.
I've never seen the Daidenjin before, so I can't comment on value. Is it all plastic? Looks like a cheap production, but that says nothing of value. Without comparables, though it is difficult to price. If its for sale, I am certainly interested. I will PM you.
As to the Macross KO, I don't think its worth that much. Valk collectors would know better and can comment, but the ones I've seen always seem to be much less than the real deals.

I looked at old eBay auctions for Don Hakku, but they are all missing more parts than mine or they were the Japanese version. So I was unsure of the value.

I've talked with Jeff about the Don Hakka before. My incomplete one is the one on eBay for $250 right now. He paid &300 for his, complete in box.
I'd say your don Hakka is worth $300-400 if complete in a Mint (no wear) box.
I've never seen the daidenjin either. How tall is that one?
How tall is the Valkyrie?

Ginrai, is the Korean version of Don Hakkka supposed to have a mace?
Daidenjin is 6 inches and the Valkyrieis 5.5 to the top of the head.

Jeff just got back to me. It is supposed to have the mace accessory like the popy. I'd back down my original estimate due to seeing your pictures of box condition and the missing accessory. $250-300.

Interesting toys, thanks for sharing.
That was the first I've seen the "ST" sized Daidenjin bootlegged.
Myself, I'm not a fan of chasing the Korean diecasts like Starzinger and Grendizer. They are cool, but on a personal note, I'll never be able to justify a premium over Popy goodness. If you almost have it all, though, I suppose it is a "chase" toy.

I watched Starzinger when I was a kid. So the figures mean a little more to me. I was going to put in a bid when it was auctioned the first time, but not after the price hike. IMHO, giving people price "guesses" here would be counter productive in general.

My Starzinger had a buy it now (it was originally set to $300 before I found out it was supposed to have a mace in which I dropped it down.

I'll address this so you have a better idea: He means that when you had it originally as a bidding auction, he would have been more interested in going after it...we had no idea they were going right to eBay, which is fine.
When you originally posted, you should have just disclosed they were going to be listed on eBay and/or said you were looking to value them for sale.
If I remember correctly, once we gave you value, a couple prices got adjusted or changed to BIN after the first few days? Because the Hakka had no bids?
There's absolutely nothing wrong with selling - we all do it ourselves too, but we operate a little different than forums like TFW (I'm a member there also, and I have talked to you before, many years ago when you bought that scorponok) where they can post live links/sales etc. at will - because we are focused on more of a niche and sometimes volatile section of the hobby, we have a different procedure we follow: no live links to auctions unless you are the seller, value on a case by case basis depending on member history.
We try not to give prices unless people are keeping items (knowledge, insurance value, etc.) but since you were an existing member with a good past post history (and I knew who you were also) we approached it a little differently.
Most people that register and come here do so just to post once and get their value, then "offer" things back to us at full retail on eBay. The flippers and users...there's no contribution to the community as a whole. There's been a few asses that have done this over the years.
This one and done type user is NOT you obviously, but I think you can understand where we are coming from.
I am also pulling my Don Hakka from eBay in a few days. I'm just going to keep it for now.
Talk to Jeff if you're seriously interested in selling it and have some flexibility. He's a top notch guy and the Hakka will go to a good home.

Well, I apologize if that was the case. I had it for sale here discounted from the eBay auction (since I wouldn't be paying eBay fees) and got quite a few offers of $20 and $25 because it was a KO. Since I got it in a lot with a bunch of Blockman which is what I actually wanted, I deceided to sell the items I didn't collect. I apologize if this came across as poor board edicite.

No worries. If you weren't familiar, you didn't make the mistake intentionally, or any mistake at all for that matter.
I'm astonished that you got offers that low. Even a typical "flipper" should have been a bit higher. Those are absolutely insulting. I received higher offers than that for mine in worse condition and less complete, on eBay of all places.
I paid quite a bit (still a good deal though) for my KO Hakka and was happy to shell out the money. I bought it because I wanted it at the time. Now it's time to move it as I've found other pieces that fit better with the direction my collection is going in.
You're selling for the right reasons. We all pick up lots with a little extra sometimes. You have the opportunity to help someone else who is looking for that piece to put it in a nice collection, while being able to make a little extra money/offset the cost of your blockman stuff. I think if you find the right person, you will agree on a price point where both parties are happy. Don't ask too much, but don't give it away (i.e. those poor offers) either. Good luck with your sale.
