If I saw one at $300 I would buy it instantly. Lol. The '96 Gamera is pretty impressive too.

Is the '68 set the smaller series? Haven't seen the set yet. I was really tempted by the Zigra from X-Plus too.

I'm really torn between X-Plus Gameras or saving up for the new 2014 stuff. Seems I may be better off going for some X-Plus stuff since the '14 merchandise will be everywhere while the X-Plus is limited. It's a 1st world problem....

I think that Gamera looks amazing.

That's my favorite Showa Gamera. Too bad Viras is my least favorite Showa foe! Very cool set though.

Anybody can ID this Marmit? I bought it for it was unique.

So, whats up with Bullmark toys on ebay these days? I remember them being in the $200 - $300 range, they seem a lot lower now. The collector market for this stuff die off or something?

I pop in on the hobby every once in a while, so it's kind of weird to see.

I had noticed Billiken prices dropped noticeably, but I blamed X-Plus for that. I figured all the reprints in the 2000s (and eBay) had lowered the original Bullmarks a little but I'm surprised if the drop continued

I'm alright with it. I've always wanted a bullmark king ghidorah, maybe in a few months I can actually own one. Unfortunately, I have other things to deal with at the moment, but I've always liked Bullmark stuff (i'm weird, I know), so maybe a few dream toys will come true this year.

On the other hand, Bandai toys are expensive as hell. God damn.

Gonna buy more next week probably.

My latest addition, Diamond X-Plus Godzilla 2001. This figure does have some red paint coated over Godzilla's lower lip, but that doesn't bother me much. I'm just glad to own this figure, since I missed my chance at Japan's first run.

Ordered my first new figures in a loooong time today. Been probably.... almost 2 years since I have bought anything. Ordered the '54 and '01 X-Plus and the '64 and '99 Marmits. Now to wait for them. Very impatiently!

Sorry, just realized I put '99. It's '89. It's the new US release ones. Can't beat 2 Marmits shipped for $130!

Traveled to Kyoto/Osaka over the weekend and snagged:

M1 Beams Guilala
M1 Beams Mothra (green variant)
M1 GMK Ghidorah
M1 Matango (finally found a variant I didn't have yet!)
Marmit Showa MechaG (haven't double-checked the variant name yet, but its space titanium-ish)

Been wanting the Guilala and King Ghidorah for awhile now, and finally found them at a fair price! But buying all those figures did bite into my wallet a bit. Time to cool off for awhile now haha. I tend to buy in sprees.

[klen7]

how do the M1 prices compare to buying in the US?

Just purchased my first Marmit - G89 (1st version).


I'm new to this collecting stuff but the marmits are very cool looking toys.
