BTW 6 months ago, I saw a specialty shop selling a Grand Maximus for US$1000.00............

Why is the Grand Maximus sword so expensive? It seems more expensive than the toy.

Because he was only released with two toys: the Japanese Fortress Maximus (it was deemed too dangerous for US kids) and Grand Maximus. Brave Maximus never got one, though it got a new hilt for God Fire Convoy / Omega Prime to use.
So basically, it's a Japan-only accessory, in demand and rare. Those factors made the price skyrocket in non-Japan territories.

Cool. Was the sword referenced in the Japanese TV show? I am curious if that added to its popularity.
