Did you guys ever go so far as to dream about Vinyl? I had a good one last night: I was in some store that doesn't really exist, and I found a Galtan-ish figure that looked like Space Godzilla with a skull head. Just about to buy it and I woke up... That's what I get for looking at all the WF2008 releases on YJA before going to bed!
I've been having the same dreams regarding toys and records for over 10-15 years: I'm always at some small store. they have tons of rare toys that I want for cheap(bemons,gargamel,dischord acetates). I'm carrying them all in my arms to the front. As im buying I always wake up. Sometimes I get as far out as the door before I wake up. I always wake up and curse skullbrain in the middle of the night in a indistinguishable groan.
I get that same one where I'm in Tokyo and I've found a shop noone else knows about. Inside is all sorts of inexpensive Popy, Takatoku, Bullmark, etc. Then I wake up.
Ugh, I totally have toy dreams. It's much worse if there's a YJA auction I'm bidding for something I'm wanting badly. It's actually happened more than once. I'll dream I've won the bid, and then often wake up in mid dream only to have to get up in the middle of the night and check the auction. Creepy.
Several weeks ago I had a dream where I was with a few people and we found an old train wreck that had been abandoned years ago. We were walking through all the cars of the train, which were on their side, topsy-turvy, and I found several trunks that had old-school Micro-Man, Henshin Cyborg, Star Wars and Transformers. I stuffed as much of the stuff into my bag as I could and vowed to come back for the rest. As we were making our way through the rest of the train it became apparent that it was haunted - ghosts were flying by and chasing us. As we exited the train it just disappeared. That's the closest I've come to dreaming about this stuff.
Funny you mention records... I think I had a dream at one point where I found the lost crate of Rotters 7"s that the one member's ex-girlfriend apparently threw in the trash. It was at a yardsale or something and they were all marked at 50 cents.
I used to dream about finding Bemons and anraku at toytokyo in NYC. It was a lot bigger though, and there were piles of toys everywhere to search through. They would have a ton of colors and I only had enough money for one or two. I would spent most of the dreams trying to decide which to buy, super frustrating.
OMG, so many, many times. It's never an existent toy, it's always some incredibly special and weird dream-toy. I either wake up just as I'm about to buy, or I'm about to buy when suddenly some lengthy, purchase-derailing subplot begins...
I was dreaming I was in some crappy tourist town in a gift shop. There, in the glass case, next to the sun screen and neon shades were 3 BEMONS! I asked the lady at the counter how much, she replied "This one's $890, this one's $1,100 and this one's $10 because it has a small mark." I flipped out and bought the $10 and than woke up. There's been threads like this. I always thought "Psht, I'm not that big of a loser to dream of toys!" UNTIL last weekend. So who wants to sell me a $10 Bemon?
I dreamt not too long ago that I was being attacked by a life-size (about 7.5') Diablo. He thrust his skullblob arm towards me and I woke up.
last night i dreamt of a new clear orange 15" super7 x marusan godzilla. i was bummed when i woke up.
I've been having dreams of being attacked by Carlos Enriquez's breast and vagina monsters but they're not that scary.
I dreamt that there was a huge version of a Super7 store, except it stocked every figure ever produced. Aisles of vintage, new, used, EVERYTHING...like a giant vinyl candy store. And it was located right around the corner from my house! I was telling my buddy who was there with me, "I'm gonna be here every single day." Then I woke up (pissed)
I had a dream last night that I sent a friend to go pick me up a show-exclusive toy - told him that I'd pay him whatever it cost. He ended up buying me a whole bunch of other toys that I didn't particularly want and expected me to pay for them. Of course I did, and pretended to be grateful, but inside I was pissed - "why'd you buy me all this crap I didn't ask for!?!" I was just reminded of this dream when I saw a photo of one of the toys that was bought for me! Weird to have an entire dream pop into your head in a fraction of a second...
last night i dreamt i found a store that was just full of every single 400% bearbrick (haven't bought one in ages) that had been released for like $10 each, except the one i really wanted was $110 and i only had $100 on me.
I had one of these last night. Except it wasn't about finding toys- in the dream I had these crazy, multi-tiered display cases spread out in a large room. Is it bad when you start fantasizing about the display options in addition to the figures themselves? One of the cases had a toy that looked like a cross between an Usugrow Rebel Ink and Dokuro King, like it had the Usugrow body in clear purple, but with a skull helmet. Heaven forbid that should ever be produced... And then I woke up and realized that I live in a small apartment. Sigh.
Last night I dreamt that Bemon was putting out Lucky Bags and that somehow I could order one. The details of the Lucky Bag were that you would get 2-4 figures and the price was $400! I really want this dream to come true...
i had a dream the other night that a neighbor of my grandma's had an outdoor junkyard type shop underneath this one plywood table were tons of beat up vintage vinyl toys. (and some not vintage - i remember a pink m1go matango) i couldn't wait until nightfall when the guy would leave and i would come back and pick through the pile. he'd never miss it with all the crap he had around! but i woke up before that happened
