Bismarck also has the distiction of being one of the more difficult robot toys to find on E-bay.

However, I've found some great deals on North Dakota memorabilia, German antiques, model battle ships, DVDs, and board games.

Noone ever mentions the

Noone ever mentions the awesome 80's logos. Every single 80's mecha has the best logos,and the best commercial bumpers/eyecatches. Even American stuff like Transformers or Voltron. It was the pinnacle of vaguely futuristic blocky fonts.

saber riders

I remember seeing this show as a kid. For some reason in the US version wasnt that robot called RamRod or am I thinking of something totally different.

Nope. If you read the text

Nope. If you read the text above (or my review of the DX), the robot was called the "Ramrod Equalizer" in Saber Rider. Man, I loved that show!

I have this toy, bought it

I have this toy, bought it from Kenzuo (Kaibutsuchan) not too long ago. I was very happy with this toy and would one day like to own the DX version. I am on a huge 80s mecha kick right now and have spent way more than I should have on vintage toys. This is a great review Josh, I love it when you review vintage toys.

Kenzou ("kaibutsuchan") is

Kenzou ("kaibutsuchan") is awesome, isn't he??? :)

And, yes, Neogetter: it looks like WEP has finally released the chronological episodes of Saber Rider on DVD! Killer!

Kaibutsuchan

Yeah Kenzou is awesome. I have bought several toys from him. Sometimes I prefer to just pay a higher price and get the toy rather than hoping to win a toy auction at a low price (though sometimes I do get lucky). His selection is great too, I am trying to save to be able to buy one of his Cobraturtles.

Ramrod?

They actually call it Ramrod??? Speaking of Bismarck, I pass on a Bismarck a couple month ago. I think it's different from Josh had review...

BANDAI: SEI JUSHI BISMARCK

Currently I am suffering from Bismarckitis!!!!

I was lucky enough to find one in MINT IN MINT BOX condition on Yahoo Japan and win it!

Unfortunately since I was concentrated on winning also Paul's Miracle Car, I ended up losing a MINT IN MINT BOX BISMARCK DX Version for 50 Yen!!!!

Anyway it's a very nice toy and I'm very happy with it!
