What toy did you just buy?

[Creature22]

Stopped by the Mitsua Marketplace in Esgewater NJ today. Me and my girl picked up some great candy, alcohol and sodas, but the toy pickings were pretty slim, and what's more it was all incredibly overpriced. Definitely a far cry from the Yaohan/Pony Toys days.

Anyway, I came home with these guys...

Not bad figures, not bad at all. But they were overpriced? How much? I usually find Ultra monsters for around 9 bucks at most.

i think the shop there (mars ny right?) is like 19$ a figure

i usually just grab one and one of the candy toys from the actual supermarket

although recently theyve had nothing

Yeah they didn't have any candy toys in the supermarket today either.

Hey Legion, I probably passed you on the highway while I was driving through Jersey earlier!

Anyway, I stopped off at a TrU in the "Fishtown" section of Philadelphia. I found and bought the Fusion Series Godzilla and MechaGodzilla. MG is rather cool, in my opinion, but Godzy's just kind of bleh...but I just said "what the hell" and took one anyway. If I passed it up, I'd just end up pissed about it later. Unfortunately, there were no Gigans to be found, which was the only Fusion fig that I was really excited about.

I ordered myself a Bandai 8" Destoroyah from BigBadToyStore for $40.00 - the only one they apparently had.

Destoroyah has always been one of my favorite kaiju, and since I'm selling his six inch figure, I thought I'd might as well fill the void with the original 8" figure of him. Plus, I'll finally have something to display with my 8" Burning Godzilla!

Get ready to be amazed.

I won a Bandai GMK Baragon for.....$20.51 plus $10 shipping. Yes, it comes with a tag. I guess it was one of those auctions that slips under the radar.

^Nice! I'd like one of those. >;O

Digging that He-man figure you got there.

[ZillaMaster91]

I didn't necessarily buy it, as much as I'll be getting it as a present, but my Dad pre-ordered me the X-Plus 30cm Varan earlier this evening for my birthday in August.

My most recent purchases were the Pack of Destruction for $30, a 6-inch Japanese SpaceGodzilla (my favorite villain monster) and the Banpresto 8-inch 2003 Godzilla...the one you could only get out of Japanese claw machines. I found all three at a comic shop in Worcestor, MA a couple weeks ago. They had a pretty impressive collection of kaiju figures for prices that were comparable (and in many cases beat) prices online.

Cool figure. Reasonable price, too.

More inventory !

I got the Kyomoto Collection version of Ultraman Taro. I needed a large-scale vinyl of him in the garrison, and this one tops out at 20 inches tall at the outstretched hand. Now if only I could find an Ultraman large enough to battle that two-foot tall Baltan...

Anyway, here's the new guy, rockin' like it's 1973:




And here he is with some of the gang:

[Primevalgodzilla V2]

Is that the Banpresto?

[Destroyer]

Man I want to get that Gamera....but I'm not spending $1000 on it.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

Is that the Banpresto?

No, it's the Bandai "Kyomoto Collection" release.

[Godzilla 2000]

This picture is made of so much win it should be illegal.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

Thanks man. That shot represents many years of effort. Haha...it kind of looks like Taro should be shouting "Behold my vinyl brethren!"
