A friend of mine is moving away. He had collected some toys, and he wanted me to have them. he was mostly into transformers and evangelion stuff. He told me that he had a temp job where his job was to clean out a storage facility. he came across a box with some robots in it. He did not know the name, but he thought he remembered it as a godaikin. He grabbed it, but he said he could not get the box or styrofoam.
So I go to his house yesterday, and he hands me a bag. In it I found a nearly complete DX Combattra, a shogun Grand Car and sky arrow, Transformers Devastator, bruticus, optimus prime, soundwave, bluestreak, grimlock and a ton more.
All free!
I was speechless - what a great find.
The Combattra is missing the right closed fist, the blue claw, the drill fist and the rubber treads. thats it. Anyone got any parts?

The toy Karma is a strange thing. For YEARS I was searching out Godaikins in the late 80's and early 90's no one had stock (except Agin). So I was browsing some toy literature around a roommate and he said "There's a store in Jacksonville that used to carry those". ....needless to say I found the store and met the owner. He apollogized that all the Godaikins were gone. Then a pause. Then he asked if I had time to go to his warehouse. Viola! He had 2 N.O.S. (new old stock) Voltes V, a Dynaman, a Dynagarry,a Shuttlebase, and Machineman. He sold them at a retail price with some bulk purchase discount. -Good man. Great Karma. So I've always tried to pass on the good vibes. -E

So does that mean you have an extra Voltes V hanging around Ed?

You must have done something good in this life or in one past. Don't sweat the tractor treads. The ones on mine just disintegrated with age. The last time I took the Combatra out of the box the treads were in pieces. can't be helped... JWM
