Noteworthy Auctions

[Biollante]

Alright, which one of you jerks is trying to outbid me?

Get out of there.

[Petezilla]

One time I was bidding on a Godzilla figure, I waited to the last second to confirm- but then, the internet connection stopped working [...] and my winning bid was lost because of that horrid connection.

I also experienced this once and nearly went berserk. The good thing was that I later got the same figure for way less than I'd have payed back then!

[Biollante]

Do the 1999 Marmit Kumonga's have a bootleg track record? I don't know how much they go for but I found, what I would assume, is a really good deal ($9.99+$6 shipping). I might have to pass up the 2001 Ghidorah cause this Marmit looks really nice.

Also what about the 2001 "rare" color Baragon? It's being auctioned for the same price.

[Shōbijin]

I think I know wich auctions you mean. The opening price is always low but don't expect it to stay cheap. Its just honey to lure the bees (us ).
I tried to score multiple items during two auctioning-waves from this seller and the last few minutes felt like a war.

I only got a small flying pose King Ghidorah yet (bid on at least 20 items).

If it's actually this seller then I can say he's thrustworthy.

No one has ever bootlegged Marmit's figures as far as I know.

People worry too much.

I think it's better to have people bootleg paranoid than people who just buy them anyway and don't care.

I wonder what happened to the G64 and G74 bootlegs. Disappeared as suddenly as they appeared.

I'd assume they just sold all of them they had produced or (wghat I'd personally prefer) Toho or Bandai got them at their balls ~

YES.

I think those are actually curry flavored, not cheese. That makes them even MORE awesome, though.

"No longer edible."

... challenge accepted.

[Kaiju no Mura]

Jomei is correct. It says curry crackers. Not cheese.

[UnCanny Studios]

Hah! Interesting.

I love that these sorts of things exist. We are all completely used to Star Wars or Marvel (etc) themed food products in the US - so it has to be the very same way with Ultraman, Godzilla, and the likes overseas. Especially such a marketable brand as Ultraman.

I think my head would explode if I were to tour a Japanese supermarket.

100% sure, it would!

Is this a legit Marusan Giant Gorilla?

Paintjob isn't 100% like on the pictures found on Clubtokyo, no date, low price. Seems fishy but I'm still a noob.

It does say it is a reproduction/reissue from the 1990's, does that help?


Also, check out this "Gorosaurus" mask

Not usually. He was released in the 2007 and 2009 waves, yes, but the 2010 wave is on shelves and 2011 wave is just reaching them in some places.

Just puting it out there. They are still available at some TRU. At my local store they had them a few weeks back.

[Jomei]

Oh, btw guys, that person changed his auction. He had it listed as $100 as a starting bid when I posted the link. LOL!
