Kaiyodo 2014

(That's just part of it ; ) but) Thanks, Fernando.

The prehistoric marine life set should release in about 10 days. This is likely my last call for anyone interested. I'm already getting so many sets that I'm not sure if my source can accommodate more.

Last time he had to cut me off with the mammal set. Luckily the last one I requested was the last one I needed. With this one only having six figures, it might make it easier to obtain more, but if you are interested I'd suggest letting me know ASAP.

I am going to have all figures ordered so far--Japanese mammals, toxic animals, any odd figures--shipped with these immediately upon my source obtaining them, likely the end of the month.

The next shipment will likely be in October and feature the Japanese animal set with the hatching box turtle, the owls, the Technicolour penguin set, and individual figures from Aquarium sets 5 and 6.

Thanks.
Brett

Sean...

I missed your post because one notification came in covering two responses, one of which was huge because of it copying/reposting my photos.

Well, it's very sad that your collection seems so sparse and inadequate.  Good luck building it up some day...  (I lose friends when I type things like that and they don't get my (self-described) sense of humor...).

Pretty amazing actually and if you ever do have pics of the individual shelves I wouldn't mind seeing the Kaiyodo ones.

I surely wasn't thinking you still needed the pteranodon but I did want to confirm that I was remembering correctly after all the years in between selling.  I still need the ammonite thing that I think is from that set.  Stupid thing is that I had it and sold it.  Dunno why.

Thanks for the boxed figure pic.

If you want to send photos of the figures you still need, feel free.  I just found a fourth source this week.  We'll see what he can do for me in terms of older figures as this one collects himself.

No worries Brett. I also got multiple notifications, and then none, so I've missed several posts.

I have intentions of doing shelf-by-shelf photos, but they change a lot so I never know when to just do it, or wait until the next...whatever. I have to do a re-do anyway. New stuff, new display risers...more things coming. The usual.

I think I sent my wish list pics to you. The eel, the Japanese salamander, the archer fish.

I will send one of the arowana. Never know, could get lucky.

I found the pics, thanks, Sean.

Glad you reminded me. My older new source couldn't help so I'd forgotten about them. But my newer new source might be able to get at least the sally as she has access to the aquarium sets 5 and 6 vending machines.

Will keep you posted.

Brett

look at the swan!

That swan is porcelain, from The Franklin Mint, and cost $200 in the 80's. It is listed very often on eBay and frequently sells for less than $100.

Good luck if you go for one.

I appreciate the swan and the link. However the size is out of my range.

Thanks Brett!

I was offered this chameleon set, if anyone is interested.

I just had a source get me Sumida Aquarium figures for existing buyers and I have multiple extras of the blue and red parrotfish, the Japanese lobster, green land snail, and humpback whale.

Just a bit of an update re: the prehistoric marine life set.  It is on eBay for $60 including free shipping.  I am getting it for a bit less for my buyers.  

But, the lighter of the two plesiosaur figures is very rare and creates a huge price jump (corroborated by two of my sources) from a set of 5 to the complete set of 6.  So I'm also ordering the set minus that figure (for those who don't want to spend the money or who don't require both color variations of the same sculpt) for significantly--not at all proportionately--less.

They should all ship to me no later than Friday but hopefully by tomorrow so please e-mail if interested in either a complete set or a set of 5--or even individual figures.

Thanks.

Thanks for letting us know Brett. I found one myself already (I've gotten used to tracking things down myself) and I've noticed that the one figure seems to double or even triple the set price.

This is why I don't chase variants. I'm sure I can find something else to spend $30 on!

Hello.

I now have a source for (the first two sets of) Aquatales 30th anniversary resin figures!  On eBay there are $70-$80 each.  I am offering them for $40 each or two or more for $35 each plus shipping.  The 12 on eBay are the ones currently available.

Please contact me ASAP if you are interested.

That is very interesting Brett, but i need better pics and a few more informations before. But i think 2 figurines could be very interesting :)

Hey Andreas.

What information?

For pics, search on eBay for Kaiyodo polyresin. It shows good pics of 11 of the 12. Click on completed auctions to see the orca, the 12th.

Dear Brett

Any idea when waves 3,4,5 come out?

People keep asking me and I keep asking my sources, but no one has any information about it. I'm continuing to try to find out and will post immediately if I do.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Brett

Here are the close-ups of the set due mid-September.

They could have botched the moth in particular but all are extraordinary.

Thanks.
