One of my “Holy Grail” Godaikin pieces that I’d been coveting for quite a long time but could never get him at the price I wanted. I actually saw the Combattra DX in Japan, but he was 525 dollars.
Combattra V DX Godaikin 1982 Popy Chogokin GB-55 Super Robot from anime Cho Denji Robo Combattler V(超電磁ロボ コンバトラーＶ) from 1976-1977
I was very tempted to buy him at the time but I had already bought quite a few toys and this would have really put me over my budget. I then kept an eye out on Ebay and missed out on one for 125 buy it now last month and was kicking myself. Luckily this one came up and I managed to win him for 300 dollars. A little steep but still much cheaper than when I have seen him since this one was loose, one of his antennas is broken and he doesn’t have the weapons. Still, I’ve very glad to have this piece since he’s just so hard to find.
Amazing, you finally got him. It has been a long time since you wanted to add this one to your collection. I am glad you finally got it. I actually don’t care for the design, but I love how your can add all the vehicles into one robot. That has always been the appeal for me. Lifting that piece up, WOW is it heavy. I am planning to add the ST version to my collection.
