I’ve never actually gotten into this one, but the kit actually looks pretty cool. Maybe better than the images I remember for it.

It's just amazing when I see these old mecha animes that I used to watch and getting updated kits. I don't know if I should buy or not knowing that I don't have time to build it.

Just pretend that you have time and time will happen. But there is definitely a lot of classic stuff popping up lately and it’s getting tough to keep up

Wow, I'm very impressive with this movie

Somehow, I received a 1:100 Clover Srungle as a kid right around 1985. My mom thought it was a Transformer. I have no idea how she came upon that thing in Nowheresville California, but she did. My dumb friend eventually broke it. But I always had fond memories of the toy, even if I had no idea what the thing was. 

35 years later I'm laughing at the "MEESHON -- OUTTA SPACE" anime intro on Youtube and it hits me -- was my mystery childhood toy from freakin' Srungle of all things? Indeed it was. $100 bucks + shipping later, and I have it again, basically new in box. I guess not many people collect Srungle.

Odd items like that would occasionally pop up a swap meets or were gifted to me by someone that went to the swap meet. The 80’s swap meets were kinda exciting with the oddities that showed up. Never saw one of these toys though, but I remember a transforming Orgus toy way before I ever knew what Orgus was

I bet it was a swap meet! My parents loved swap meets, and did get me some giant Transor Z/Mazinga toys from swap meets. Coulda all been bootlegs too (including my Srungle) as far as I know.

That kinda stuff was definitely pretty common at the classic swap meets. Couldn’t confirm if it was a bootleg or not, because they also had plenty of ligit items there as well. But if you say they loved going there, I can pretty much guarantee that that’s where they at least picked it up from.
