Gunbuster Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Did anyone went to the PMX this past weekend? What did you think? I knew it was small, that's why I went, no more 3 hours lines and stuff (this maybe bad for the con. but good for us). The concerts were kickass if you're into the J-rock and J-pop stuff. Since it was smal and slow for the dealer's, they dropped their prices. I found one dealer that has Alpha fighters and Cyclone riders. This is the point of my topic Anyway, do you guys know if there are re-issue on these toys? or boot-leg releases recently? He was selling the Alpha for $50 and Cyclone rider for $70 with no tax. I was so afraid that it was a bootleg (the moment u open it, it falls apart), but it looks so legit! below are some screen shot of the one I picked up. Please let me know. He said he has a bunch of them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Damn, I'd buy a large Gakken Legioss for US$50 even if it is a bootleg. Did they have the greenies or only blue ones? Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunbuster Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 Doh! I only picked up one I was afraid it was a bootleg ^^; I didn't even write down the dealer's name I know he sells lots of asian live action movies and he said that he will be at AX and will bring more of the Alphas. I didn't see any of the other colors, only blue. Now I'm regetting not picking up the cyclone rider It has all the metal joints ans stuff ans stiff like it was new ^^; all the clicking sound too when you rotate the arms and flipping the legs. I'll make sure I write his name down when I see him at AX and see if he has a website ^^; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 either someone like epoch is reissueing the gakkens like bandai did with the takatoku macross toys, or some company is producing some high ass quality bootlegs! crap man if its got ratchets like that than this toy is too good to be true! droooooooooollllll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Me wants. I wonder if these become widely available, will it hurt the sales of the Toynami MPC Alpha? Perhaps it would make Toynami rethink their ridiculous retail price? Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Wow, I'd seriously pay $50 right now to get my hands one one of those, and that's digging into food money! Seriously man, you shoulda got the dealer's name and found out if they have a website! As for hurting Toynami's MPC Alpha, I hope so only insomuch as making them rethink their rediculous prices. I'd pick up a Toynami Alpha if they were priced realistically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastian Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I also really would LOVE to get some alphas and a ciclone. Hoooooooo.... could somebody buy them for meeee???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadzone Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Strange that this guy is selling them for $50.00 when he can probably get $100 + on ebay even for bootlegs of that quality. Maybe he is scared of getting caught or something. Who is going to anime expo BTW? If that dealer is confirmed there, I just might have to pay the anaheim convention center a visit. Better yet, one person can go in and buy the toys so we don't all have to pay admission . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neova Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Are these 1/35 scale? I need a complete set of 4, including the Cyclone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowyunskinny Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I see that in your pics it says "Made in Singapore" on the back of the box and the Trademark stamp under the air intake. Does anyone know if the original Gakkens were made in Singapore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 (edited) Yep, they where made in Singapore. Early ones are Japanese. All the Henshing Robo Alphas are from singapore. And to me it looks like the real thing, not like a boot at all. Edited June 2, 2004 by Sebastian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I dunno, I was just discussing this with Neova and I don't think this can be old stock from the 80s, it looks too new, unless it was hermetically sealed and locked in an airtight vault for the last 20 years Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Valkyrie Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 If it was a reissue then all of as here in MW would know about ! A LEGIOSS toy from the 80`s ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 If it is old stock from the 80s, then the seller is pretty dumb to be selling them for only $50 Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Valkyrie Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 If it is old stock from the 80s, then the seller is pretty dumb to be selling them for only $50 Graham This also could be true cuz sometimes this kind of stuff happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Based on the photos it looks like the real deal, but if it's a re-issue or boot it'd be nice to get either way at that price. 'course if for literally years nobody knows what happens to molds, why pop up now if legit? I doubt beating the MPCs would be enough of a reason...
