    I'm sure Honda was afraid Kozik was going to spray a big anarchy sign on the Bemon and sell it as a one off.

    If the heavy-weight displays at CKA were for sale publicly, i am pretty sure there wouldn't be any for display there by now. The should be all residing in my collection :)
    Also, if any was for sale, I am also sure it wouldn't be cheap.
    Mr Yoda is a super j-vinyl collector himself. I think he will welcome u more if you talk about anything instead of just hawking on his bemons & GJs.

    Back to the GJs.
    Nice memories stealth! I think the last of the 1st release that day was bought by mr nag3? The lottery for the red was intense and i think good things usually happen when we attack CKA together. Hopefully history can repeat itself soon :)

    The first few releases of the GJs were memorable. The 2nd blue ver was a classic example. A part of the release was done at a flea market where you have to first find yoda among the crowd, get a card from him and then find his guerilla styled booth in the flea market. So you have to work hard if you want your toy. I think not too bad an idea since you tend to cherish stuff that you spent effort in getting.

    The green GJ is not too small a run, so i think no need to go too crazy over prices yet if you are gunning for it. The pink though is a killer.

    Silly me thought we would actually see more of them go for auction on yahoojp... :(
    Anyways, I hope some skullbrainers can actually score.
    And then sell them to me :twisted:

    I think it's more than anything a matter of time, they'll eventually pop up considering they're not one offs. There was one over the weekend on ebay but disappeared after a short while, a yellow vinyl one. The green vinyl was also on YJA a couple of weeks ago.

    Yes, I saw the green one. I actually meant more of the two last releases, considering they weren't released through the usual channel. I thought we might see them go more like the 2headB one after the other...

    Kirkland, those are some nice vids and that store is just crazy. He looks like a real funny guy.

    That orange looks real sweet. I'm not sure I've seen all releases so far but together with pinks looks like one of the best to me.

    Blue eyes are what makes it for me on this release.

    The gorillas are getting more & more ridiculous to win.
    Anyway, here comes the enemy of the Gorilla-ju.

    For the record, it is 100% sure now that the maker of GJ has no relation to honda of bemon fame.

    I'm not a big fan of Gorilla-ju, but I DO like what I'm seeing of Mechagorilla-ju! I wouldn't be upset at all if one of those fell into my lap. But not worth the money that it'll take to actually score one.

    That turned out great. The colors remind of Tetsujin-28. I think I'll just print out a picture of that and pretend I own one.

    Yikes! Surely that will be tough to score, really nice though. So that's the mystery mecha beast? I think I need to just print out the entire Gorilla Ju catalog into a wall poster and just be done with it. Way too rich for my blood even getting one of them.
