http://stores.ebay.com/JAPANAVI_Toy-Hob ... idZ2QQtZkm this seller has quite a few reference books for sale with BIN . even has yugi s book which i would highly recommend .
this looks really good although $67 (with shipping) seems really steep. Anyone have this or know what the original yen was? Thanks!
That's a GREAT book, it's called Sofubi Holocaust and has tons of obscure robot and kaiju characters you never knew were realized in vinyl. Unfortunately that price sucks. I got it at Mandarake last month for 800 yen, half the original cover price of 1600 yen. The ISBN is 4-415-09321-3 if you want to try searching for it elsewhere.
Hey, look at this, there are 7 used and new available on Amazon JP, starting at under 2,000 yen: link The used book sellers don't usually ship to the US like Amazon Japan does, but I'm sure you could get an agent to order one for you.
Thanks for the ISBN number! I have a number of large Japanese bookstores within a few blocks of my office in Manhattan and I should be able to order this thru them for the cover price
I love those Saito books. I hear tell that there are more of them on the way, too. There is some more information about toy books over at Toybox DX: http://www.toyboxdx.com/infolibrary/pubs/ http://www.toyboxdx.com/library/books/lit-index.html
