Tell me more about the spaceships and saucers in the third photo.
Any idea who made the green saucer? or the size of it? hard to track down??

I need something like this for my Toygraph space troopers...

Post Re: Random diecast love
Yeah, I had a great time too, Jim.

Starting with the large base in the top middle and moving counterclockwise, we have:

Nakajima base and Nakajima UFO No. 1 (the blue cigar-shaped UFO docked into the base)
Nakajima UFO No. 2 (green)
Nakajima UFO No. 3 (red)
Sakura UFO (comes in several other colors)
Bandai Gashapon Grendizer Solar Saucer (I thought the Popy DX saucer was too out of scale to use in the photo)
Eida Grip Diapolon Apolon Kichi Base

The Sakura UFO lights up and blinks (with batteries) and can fire missiles from its wings. The Nakajima base also uses batteries to light up the front window (it has a really nice space scene) and the top light. The front blue shields open and close over the window, and the front yellow ramp extends. It includes an elevator along the UFO No. 1 (raises by turning the silver disc at the top), and it fires small UFOs off of two ramps that can be rotated. The UFO Nos. 1 and 2 can also fire the small UFOs. UFO No. 1 also has side panels that open. UFOs 2 and 2 feature rotating centers, and the legs on both can fold up so they roll on wheels. The Grendizer ship of course can open and hold Grendy. The Diapolon ship can fire missiles from the rear red part (that lifts up), and I think the front disc rotates when it is rolled.

Great toys all around. The Nakajima pieces (especially the base) are among my favorite toys. You can see some more pics here (http://cgi.ebay.com/NAKAJIMA-UFO-SERIES ... 7C294%3A50). I usually wouldn't post a live auction, but this one is so overpriced that you would be lucky if someone bought it before you as a result of this posting.

Wow...great stuff. I used to have a beat up and well played with nakijama base...it was cool lit up.

During the 80's I collected diecast, heres a pic from 1989.

About 8 years ago I sold most of my collection on ebay to pay medical bills. People in France really loved Liveman!

Okay, I've been meaning to bring this up.

What the fuck is up with Gekigangar? Like, I saw Nadesico at the tail end of the days when I'd try to catch most scifi/giant robot cartoons...and, sure, it was a pretty damn fun show...but why all this fervor over some bootleg-quality toys of the super robot show-within-the-show???

Ya answered yer own question there, Sparky. "Bootleg-quality toys of the super robot show-within-the-show" sounds like a GREAT reason to me. ;) The concept is very...Japanese.

I do not appreciate your flippant attitude about this very serious subject.

Back to robot toys...

Miles, that's a boot, right? I seem to remember seeing a gold Dairugger ST boot recently...and I don't recall Popy making one...

I'm sure CollectionDX would know (JoshB)...

P.S. The Gold Dairuger is indeed a Taiwan job. It is gold plated plastic with semi-magnetic legs and arms that pull apart.....

Ed. I think you missed the point. It's a DIECAST "love" thread.. Nice shelf btw.

How about this:

The one you linked is with the transparent arm/leg. Mine is all gold, and it is a Taiwan KO. Ed is right-on with his description. Plus, although I've never held that Victora one, I think that this is larger. I'll try to throw up the box, but not anytime soon. Its buried somewhere, and I'm just too lazy to try to dig it out right now.
