eHobby Guardian Robot (Omega Supreme)

Any one has any idea about the market price of these? I have a reservation for 2 pieces but am thinking of dropping one since it is quite pricey (but still a piece I must get).

It'll no doubt slowly rise over time, and likely end up at about four times original price. That's typical for the eHobby toys. Or it could do an Anime Astrotrain, and end up at ten times the original price.

Initial market value 1.5-2 times purchase price is usual.

fyi the toy's actual name is "Gadep."

Hmm... I thought Guardian Robots referred to a class of generic robots fulfiling that function. Good to know this guy has a name!

If you want to compare prices, RK has it for US$184.90 excl. shipping.

I think "Gadep" is the Japanese name for the Guardian Robots... not sure as I haven't seen "War Dawn" dubbed in Japanese (I've only seen Season 1 and TFTM dubbed in JP). There's a comic that comes with Gadep which should explain more.

Beats calling it "Dave."

Found in Wikia, apparently it's a "retconned" acronym -> http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Guardian_robot (see the footnote)

Hmmm... thought it was generic. I was at first thinking of buying an army of these and having them smash each other up... until the price became a little prohibitive. Ah well.

E-Hobby are listing it at Aus $155

Presumably that's without shipping? So with shipping it'll be AU$200-215 thereabouts I suppose.
