I finally did it /toy/, I found my holiest of holy grails.

After 4-5 years of searching one popped up in a random search and I GOT IT. I got my Gekiganger 3 DX not-SOC that was only released at Wonderfest back in 1998, 20 years ago.

I'm so goddamn happy right now. It's on it's way to me in the mail as we speak.

Holy-grail thread. Tell me your success and/or failure stories.

Very happy for you man!!!
My holy grail was Volks' SRX. After 10 years I had enough money to win a Yahoo Auction. Still happy after 2 years.
Second grail was the realization of a SIDE OG for the RS line, and the Huckebein is coming out on August. I'm a happy and satisfied person :D

I bought this almost two years ago now after looking forever. It was my grail from the moment I first saw it but I could never find it for a good price. Finally found it for cheap enough and didn't even question pulling the trigger. Since then I haven't found anything I wanted nearly as much as this. Haven't even seen one pop up for sale anywhere since I purchased mine

I hope you know that that's just a kit to customize a Mazinger SoC intro Gekiganger III. You still need to buy a compatible Mazinger for the main body.

I believe it actually comes with the body. But yes, im very aware of this and i have experience with garage kits.

>>6816354
Believe it or not, only about 240 after everything shipped. Less than original price.

>I believe it actually comes with the body.

Unless the previous owner already dissassembled a Mazinger SoC and added the Gekiganger pieces, that's not going to be the case.

The pic you posted comes from from Wotafa's review. He actually talks about having to use a Mazinger as the base, and you can also see the instruction manual at where it shows the Mazinger figure. Pic related.

If it includes the Mazinger pieces or it's already assembled, then no problem. If not you will have to track a SoC Mazinger. Either way I hope you enjoy your Gekiganger 3 anon, I wish they made an actual SoC of it.

I don't know a whole lot about Mazinger, why does it look like Devilman?

This guy was mine. Bit the bullet and bought him for like $190, just before the company that made it announced they were done with the line. Now ebay prices have shot up like another $80.

I love seeing success stories like these. Most of the guys on this board have that 1 figure that has eluded them for years, but never give up. Pic related are my grails. After 20 something years, the holes in my collection were finally filled. Deathsaurus is probably the most special to me, though. I've never seen one in better shape than mine.

Kinda weird that they used the same facial expression. Guess it saved them having to have 2 moulds

It was just an homage in a mecha anime where the protags were mecha fanboys.

Not him, but I call the character Deszaras when talking about his original incarnation in Victory. It doesn't matter to me that the guy who named him now says that he always intended the name to be "Deathsaurus", the katakana he used (de-su-za-ra-su) is nowhere close to the way the japanese spell "saurus" (sa-u-ru-su/za-u-ru-su). So it seems he's just full of shit or remembers wrong.

Nonetheless, if you intended a character to be named "Tom", but you keep calling him "Jon" the whole show, it doesn't matter what you original intention was. The guy's called "Jon" unless you change every mention of the name in the actual show.
