I want this!!!!!! God Phoenix Oh yeah, and this is silly: G3 And I've been dying over this for awhile now... God Phoenix #2

Ooohhhhh.......

The two God Pheonix's are actually the first and second release of the same toy. The first issue was dark blue and came with the Firebird shell that could fit over the vehicle. The second issue was more of an aqua color (Unifive claimed that it was supposed to be a proper blue anime-coloring, but it's too green, making it look like the God Phoenix did when it was underwater) and came with a plastic Boomerang instead of the Firebird. No, the wings on the Boomerang did not move. If you want the dark blue version with the Firebird, and don't mind it coming in a dented box, Mandarake has one for sale for $237.29, plus shipping. Sure, it's still not cheap, but it's better that $299.00, plus shipping! You can find it at: http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/search.do?action=itemInfo&selectedItemIndex=83961&dt=1190160044995 James

Oh, drool...

I seem to recall those being a bit cheaper when they were first released Beautiful things though, I have the dark blue version.

Some nice things there. Currently I have been tryng to get a set of figures (have the little Kubrick ones want the others)

FB if you keep an eye out you can get the BOTP action figures at a reasonable price, especially if you're willing to live with no box. Also I saw this: http://stores.ebay.com/RJRWRESTLINGS-STORE This guy has Mark, Princess & Keyop figures in the box for $5 each. I'm sure he'd give you a discount on shipping if you bought all 3.

Thanks TJ I have Keyop and Princess working on getting Tiny, Jason and Mark.

For some reason they didn't make very many Jason and Tiny, so they are the hardest to get. They sell for so much by themselves that I have found it cheaper to buy a big set that includes them.

I seem to recall those being a bit cheaper when they were first released

Yes, they were. When first released, they retailed at 9,800 yen (Around $85.00). Of course, that was in late 2001 for the dark blue version and early 2003 for the aqua version. They've been unavailable at general retail for quite some time, hence the increase in price.

For some reason they didn't make very many Jason and Tiny, so they are the hardest to get.

That's because of Diamond's mishandling of the first wave of figures. The first wave, with Mark, Princess, and Keyop, was overproduced, resulting in many of them sitting unsold or reduced to clearance prices. So they made far less of the Jason, Tiny, and Zoltar figures because the overproduction of the first wave resulted in lower retailer demand for the second wave. Zoltar can be a bit easier to find because they made two versions of him (A regular version of him and a Previews Exclusive version of him that included a couple of unmasked heads you could use). The helmetless Jason figure ended up becoming part of one of the BotP DVD releases, and the helmetless Tiny figure was never produced. James

You know, I have that Zoltar with the multiple heads, and it makes me laugh, since Zoltar wasn't really unmasked on BOTP! Unless you count the glimpse of blonde hair on the abominable snowman ep...

so I now have the complete set of 6 figures (the team and zoltar) and my eagle riders complete boxset. Woohoo!

Whoo hoo! Go FB! You'll have to let us know what you think of the Er set! And aren't the figures fun? Did you get the ones with the helmets? Or do you have unhelmeted Mark/Princess/Keyop?

The helmeted versions. Still wrapped in the packaging so I can appreciate them. Watched a couple of ER episodes working on getting through them. Will let you know (Forgotten how much I found that music annoying lol)

I used to like the music theme from ER, especially the opening/closings . Which eps you are at now, FB?

You think that music's annoying.... try watch G-Force! I don't mind the backbeat, but it's the same one over and over and over and over.... After you've finished the first 4 eps of ER, read this fic. You'll get a big kick out of it! http://www.gatchfanfic.com/efiction/viewstory.php?sid=262

I like better this one! CLICKY!!! Albeit is quite embarrassing for Ego.

I like the first one better, but it certainly is an appropriate followup!!!

I have now watched the first 6 ep's Oh Tj it was hilarious to read that story again. Makes the pain of those episodes so much more bearable

I'm running outta threads...just popping in to get my count up!
