Wu Jen Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I found this toy at a local Wal-Mart here in Iowa, USA. I will check to see who the manufacturer is but it looks like a 1/55 scale bandi type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyowelb Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 that wouldn't be right..13.43 kgs(29.6 lbs)!??? even a 10 yrs old kid would have hard time carrying that thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbarrett4 Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I have one, its very good quality. Walmart has been carrying the other Galaxy Defender figures, but I have never seen the valkyrie. I hope this is a chain wide release. Well worth the 4-5 dollars price WM charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Sci-Fi Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I'm going to buy several of these, I like the added armor lines. I think the galaxy defenders are through a place in Iowa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waylandcool Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I haven't seen this particular one at Wal-Mart yet. But knowing the inventory of all the stores around here, I may not seen it for another two or three weeks. There are a lot of empty store shelves here.

ComicKaze Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 None in Canada here. What are the other Galaxy Defender bots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 None in Canada here.What are the other Galaxy Defender bots? A passenjer jet with support vehicles, a generic-looking spaceship, and... I'm sure the reIS another one, but I can't recall right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Sci-Fi Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I just was told that these have been in walmarts since botcon. I've never came across one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-ZeroOne Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 that wouldn't be right..13.43 kgs(29.6 lbs)!??? even a 10 yrs old kid would have hard time carrying that thing I think you'll find thats the gross weight for a shipping carton or container for these things - not one individual piece. Something made of 13 Kgs of metal would have set off the die-cast mass sensors of every Japanese toy freak in the country...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRAND CANNON Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Thanks for the heads-up Wu Jen!! I'm on the east coast and will be lookin' for them. Mind if I ask the price? Man, you could strip one of these boys down and customize away!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I've heard that there's also some Gao Gai Gar bootlegs in the Galaxy Defenders line. I think I saw a downsized King J-der toy. I'm gonna poke around Wal-Mart and see what I can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbs357 Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Next time I go to my local Wally-World (which could be months) I'll look around for one of these.

ewilen Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 This guy was reviewed on the old forums. I think it has a little less diecast than the originals--or none at all. At least one person sells them on eBay for $19.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowlightman Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 woohoo inexpensive customizations, here i come. You can find reissues for $20-25, and you wont have to deal with filling all those hideous panel lines. It's cool to see another bootleg easily available, I just wish it wasn't so hideous.

Mr.Sci-Fi Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Could you post the dcpi # off the reciept or the shelf tag to help others find it. I'm not sure if the numbers on the box will help either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkfan Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Has anyone else found one of these at Wal-Mart. I know that they're kind of funky looking, but I have heard that they are built as well as the Bandai's. This claim, if true, would make the Galaxy Defender, the best bootleg 1/55 (quality wise) ever made. If anyone else has found them, let me know. I'd really like one myself.

Mad Dawg Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I think Wal-Mart got a cease and desist letter about this from HG. Not certain, but I remember seeing that somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before start customizing it you would have to "de-customize" it.
