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.
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.

Wow, I am impressed. Back when I was building up my collection, things only sold for large amounts of money if they were priced in US$ - shows how Paypal has made international purchases so much easier and more attractive.
I bought mine off ebay some years ago for £12, which was in similar condition to the one that went for £255 except for having both halves of the box intact. If the seller of the one I bought had been in the US or Canada and listed in US$, it would have gone for $500 or so at the time.
I shall be fascinated to see how much it ends up going for.

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!
