What toy did you just buy?

[Drunken Kong]

Ugh, my wallet is on the verge of murdering me now!

I bought my first X-Plus Toho Large Monsters Series figure just now, Gigan, from HobbySearch. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10174024
I've been eyeing this one for a while, as well as the Godzilla '64. However, since the latter was sold out, and I have no intention of buying the 1967 version, I went along with Gigan, which is a BEAUTIFUL sculpt. However I will not make buying X-Plus figures a habit though, since they are indeed expensive figures. Eventually I just want to find a decent Godzilla figure from the Showa era to buy as well in the coming months.

I've been eye-ing up that Gigan as well. Don't know if I want to go through with it or not. I just hate how X-Plus divides up their scales. I like to have everything scale together as much as possible. But they come out with cool things in both 25 and 30cm scales...

[ZillaMaster91]

I feel the same way with you to a degree. For me, I like to buy molds that I personally like, never minding the scale.
With a figure like Gigan, I can live with having the 25cm version, but a figure like Godzilla '89, then definitely I NEED to have it 30cm or bigger.

Recently forum member Leunames helped me get an X-Plus Gorosaurus - thanks again! Then this last Sunday I bought the 30cm X-Plus Gigan in great shape off eBay! Those were great buys for me

This guy is long overdue into my collection. One of my favorite Goji Bandais ever:

^Nice. I'd love to have some of those, but they just fetch too much for what they are most of the time. @_@

[leunames]

got the destoroyah in the same haul as the gigabrain KG. Great, great figure.

[godzilla98rules]

Man, I better call a doctor, because my eyes have just popped out!

HobbyLink Japan is having a clearance sale on a good number of items, and snagged myself the Sci-Fi Revoltech Type 66 Maser Cannon for about $20.00, plus $12.00 EMS shipping.

I'm pretty happy. I found a figure that I've been seeking out for a little while now. The Marusan "Metallica" (or Metarica, by the header card translation) series MechaGodzilla. Tell me that this bad-boy doesn't look downright elegant in bronze:



And with the gang:

[Jomei]

CD, you have the same MireGoji as me?! High five man. Shit goddamn, that's a fine looking Gigabrain '64, too. Impeccable taste in colorways there, bro.

Ah, yeah, congrats on the sexy new MG, too. Looks incredible.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

*High fives* Yeah, that was by far my favorite color variation. I wish I could snap a pic that did the paint job better justice.

$24 plus 10 for EMS shipping. Literally. I almost had to change my pants. He's from a trusted seller I've bought from numerous times, as well.

'Twas a good day for me!
