Hello all you Gatchafans! I'm going to be very honest with you all. I'm not a fan like you, however, I DO remember Battle Of the Planets from when I was a child. I can remember I made one of those intercom-watches myself and pretended to be one of the Gatchaman the whole day when I was a kid. I'm a retro-freak and I love loads of 80's stuff. I'm just not into this particular franchise. Very recently I've found this fantastic Gatcha-Spartan vintage toy-set In a charity shop. I'm not going to tell you how much I paid for it, to prevent you from fainting and such. I think I'm going to put this one on eBay very soon, but I thought It would be nice for you to know so won't miss out on this one. I'm going to wait a bit with putting this on eBay, allowing you to do offers and such, and maybe I can please a real fan/collector with this for a fair price. Please contact me either by replying to this topic or Private Message me. I'll make sure I have topic reply notification on as well as PM notification so I won't miss your messages. Click here to see a slideshow I made of the box.

Was the shop in the USA? Or another country? Just curious cause that would affect shipping price and such had anyone wanted to make an offer... I certainly think it's a cool find, and thanks for sharing/offering it up to us.

Oh my, while the box is a bit dinged the contents have never been unpacked and played with... all the little bits are still blister packed and all the missiles are there. His profile says UK.

We have just put it on eBay. Here is the link!

I wonder if it will sell? That's a high starting price even considering that it's in such good condition.

Not long ago one in less better condition went for 255. It was missing its lid and there were no instructions.

Hmmm, what happened there then? I know there were 2 bidders last time I looked and I thought the auction still had a few days to go. But now it's shut with no bidders.

All I can say is that the item is no longer for sale!

I assume you got a very good offer? I would love to know how much it went for

Look, I think we got an amazing deal out of it. But I'm reluctant to say how much it went for, because it would be devastating if someone would offer double!
