strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre over)

Don't make me come over and roll those eyes out of your head, Ed!

 

eh, I'll just dodge you anyway. from that comment, I might smell you coming from far away

 

I just picked this guy up, but I have no idea who or what he is. Anyone know anything about him?

 

That's Pandon. Not sure who the maker of that version is though?

 

Why is this Y300k?

 

It's an early, extremely rare wind-up bu Marusan. The one in the Yuji toy book has painted eyes. This one looks a little beat.

 

Thought it was a model kit too. Sadly this one is in the US looking to return home. I think the 300K was a reserve and no one bid even half of it.

 

thats a later bandai version I think

 

384,000 円

 

This jumbomachinder villain BOX ONLY went for 287,000 Yen. Not sure who it is for, Here is the name: グレーンゴーストＣ

The Taihou Buffalo box went for 151,000 Yen.

 

Wow, nearly 3k for a box. Looks like it belongs to the second guy from the right, Green Ghost C3.

 

the exchange rate now is about 88:1 so that's more like $3250. how much would that toy by itself sell for? i find it sort of hilarious when the packaging becomes more valuable than the contents (happens with book dustjackets too).

 

The jumbo guys would have to chime in here, but these boxes are not as valuable as the toys. The jumbo villains are sought after not only by jumbo collectors but by vinyl and super robot collectors in general. The box does add quite a bit of value to a loose toy. Jumbos, and especially their boxes, are quite large and many were thrown away making them very desirable today.

...and that Garamon is a thing of beauty!!!

 

62000
erm... Mr. Baromuwan, your white-fronts are showing!

 

I believe this is only the second known box for Guren Ghost C3. The first one sold with a specimen with very warped legs for maybe 1.1 million yen.

 

This giant Takkong just sold for cool 911,000 yen or about $10,300!

 

Those are the boxes that I skipped buying anything at Morphy's for. Lost on both, making me very, very sad to have come away with nothing overall.

Would have tried harder on the Taihou, but I don't have the toy and it's the "easiest" to get. Man, I love those boxes though. So beautiful...

 

one day will sell all my toys to get few garamons.

saw another one like this sell for same price, anyone have more info on
this colorvariant?

 

Y401k is serious.

 

I couldn't believe how many boxes that dude had. Craziness.

 

It's been a true joy reading this thread, i just read it through today and man! I'm slowly starting to realize the appeal of vintage.
