Hi, I decided post this here because I didn't know where else in the forum it would go. I recently acquired a old transforming spaceship that is definitely not from the TF toyline. On the side of the ship are stickers that read "shaider vavilos". I tried looking it up online to get some information on it and all I found was dead ebay links. Can anyone tell me some info on this thing and maybe an idea of its worth? I can provide pics if need be. It's in ok condition. Pictures would probably do better than words. I'll post some once I get my webcam working.
Thanks!

AFAIK it's from a Tokusatsu/Metal Live Action Hero show called
Space Sheriff Shaider. Vavilos is Shaider's ship.

This Vavilos of yours was also sold in America, both as a large-boxed set and a considerably smaller version.
Both were part of the exalted 80's giant robot line "Godaikin" from Bandai.
When the robot / Transformers craze started dying down, Toys R Us began heavily discounting these.
One of the last times I saw the large Vavilos (or any Godaikin for that matter) was at a farmer's market in Quakertown, Pennsylvania... for a mere $10, MIB.
