How many 5k+ vinyls? probably 30-40 on a conservative day. What would it take? Not sure what you are asking about. What would it take for what?
so..to really get them all youd need good luck and like 300 grand. wow. whats the most complete private collection youve seen?
largest collection ? i know yuji opened up his own museum in japan with like 8 tons of toys and props . couldnt get it all in . from an article in super 7 sean b mentions a collector known as the master who supposedly has 3 houses full of toys .as far as stateside if your talking only about hawaii variants only 3 people come to mind and thats sanford ,mike j and brian . it also doesnt matter how much money you have if there is nothing out there to buy . the gal in hawaii will not sell that kanagon as there is a lot of sentimental value in it . the other one is a friend of hers who after she bought it wrote her name on the foot .as far as i know there has only been one kanagon that has sold and the seller also had a eleking hawaii with a spray i have never seen .
Are you James M.? Anyhow...the two in the photo are both my friend's (whom I think you know). The other one with the name on the foot is NOT one of those.
both are hers ? she managed to find another one ? thats like winning the lotto twice ! a few years ago i won a kikaider dvd from her on ebay and we started sending e mails back and forth . she sent one of the kanagon and i fwd it to mike, brian and rory . none of us had seen it before . on a trip to japan rory took the picture and showed it to a lot of dealers who most thought it was a fake . yup, im jim m
out in the jungle in Hawaii theres a wrecked japanese cargo plane that was full of them. The locals used most of them for net floats,only a few survived....
I can guarantee saito does not have them all, I think sanford may be the closest to a complete set. I do not think any one person has them all....
anyone know any info on this? are they of teh same make? i'm just curious, don't know much about this stuff but i am fascinated:
Yeah, that is the other rare hawaii Kanegon, the "grey" version. I will kill for one of these too, just tell me where to go. Where did you get this picture from? I am buying!
