I work for Con Edison as a meter reader, and as I was coming out of one of my customers basements and I notice this sitting on a table by the door. Long story short, I ask if he wants to sell it, has to ask daughter, blahblahblah, lets me take real crappy photo.

So what I need to know is who, what and how much..

It has the missiles and stuff, but I didn't really have the time to check them all, I'm pretty sure the chest one is in the box, it has all its wheels, it has one paint scuff on the back of the head, but other then that is in pretty good shape, box is a little beat but is still in one piece, no tape holding it together that I noticed..

Thanks for any and all info...

Yeah seriously. Its an OG Popy Raideen Jumbo Machinder from 1975. Not too sure about actual value but they get pretty expensive when the box is in the equation. Here's a little more info http://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/1975/raideen

XVivaHateX nailed it. It's the original Japanese version, which isn't very common in the US simply because Mattel imported it in their Shogun Warriors line (and made some changes here and there, including replacing the left "bow-fist" with Mazinger Z's Iron Cutter rocket punch accessory).

In Japan, though, it's pretty common...among THE most common Jumbo Machinders, actually. These go for around $250ish in that condition offa Y!J.

Sweet find, man...definitely go for it! Totally worth it just for the story! :wink:
