    Thank you for the photo and clarification Choon! :razz: Those Bullpets are very nice! :shock: After seeing Pickleloaf's missile-firing Goji in action, I'll have to see if I can adopt some now!

    Sanjeev, I was watching the auction, and really wanted to adopt him, but I'm on a buying moratorium for now :oops: Trying to recover from my latest JYA box, and it's a doozy! ;)

    Just watched this auction end. Went for an absolute steal at 7150 JPY! :shock:

    He's pretty ancient looking, and has quite an appealing face. Look at those monstrously long arms! :D
    The auction describes the toy as an "unknown gorilla". Please share any info you might have on this toy, he's a mystery to me.

    I really wanted this Norakuro vinyl trio, but the price got up there (at least over what I was willing to spend - I have no clue what others might have sold for in the past). About 6 inches tall too. Guns made of wood and metal. Great coloring, especially on the feet.

    Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

    I always think Norakuro is a cat! but he's really a dog soldier. Are they suppose to come in a trio, or did the seller just have three figures? Nice to see the rifles intact for each doggie. These toys seem to be very expensive on JYA, is it because they are popular and hard to find, or because of some other significance?

    Found a cute clip

    ^^^Chris you are hilarious! :lol: What I find mind boggling, is that after +40 years, it looks like the Tiger just came out of the factory yesterday. Wonder where he's been hibernating all of these years :shock:

    I saw this Tiger 7 in YJP too but unfortunately ended too high, I never seen before the gloves. I think it was new in bag but with the bag in really bad shape and they chose to open.

    Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

    A Toy Angel told me that, because the bag was tossed, that's probably why the Tiger is in such good shape (allows the vinyl to degas over time-avoid staining and becoming sticky). The price was high, but not as high as the auction that Chris posted

    viewtopic.php?f=30&t=13925&p=790372&hilit=tiger+7+gloves#p790372
    *see Lixx's entry, 1/3-way down the page. That tiger was much higher! :shock: And that auction was less than a year ago!
    Both are beauties, and it's wonderful to see them with their gloves when they do come up for auction!

    Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

    You are right, compared with the Lixx have posted before this was a bargain. The other pay like ¥60,000 extra just for the bag.

    No doubt that is a beautiful piece and I hope we have the chance to score one soon! (for a good price ofcourse jajaja)

    Best regards!

    Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

    Yes, that's a LOT of money for an old plastic bag! :lol: I agree, these Tigers with (or even without!) gloves, are pretty special toys! Good luck to you Alebrije and Chris, with your Tiger hunts!

    I never saw a brown vintage Marusan Kanegon before, and I could not find anything about it on the web (and not listed in the Club Tokyo database). I tried for it, but it went above what I wanted to spend (oops - this was the photo I saved before the auction ended - it actually ended at 33,150 yen):

    Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

    I was watching that one. So amazing. So unattainable.
    Last one I saw without a box went for 500,000 yen or so. A bargain in hindsight!
    Hung around at 401,000 and then exploded.

    Google says:
    1,841,000 Japanese Yen equals 18,148.5780 US Dollar

    Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

    That auction blew my mind. I could never fathom one of those going for over 10 grand, much less 18! I think this might be the highest price I have heard of for a vinyl (non-ultraQ) selling for. The last highest was the boxed giant size Red Baron missile fire for 1,000,000yen, and that is much harder to find than this figure. It is getting crazy out there.

    I have a box for this figure (but no toy) that I bought on yahoo japan around 2002 for 2,000yen ($20). How the times have changed!

    Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

    That's amazing Brian! Hell of a bargain of course, but I am also imagining that the box art alone is pretty fantastic. Heck, even a repro I could see costing nigh a hundred these days.

    It is getting crazy out there. The trend seems to be getting worse. I am not sure if it is a self-feeding situation where high prices lead to more bumped prices (and on and on....), a rebound in the economy and/or general collectors market, a greater willingness to drop massive sums of money on toys, or just stuff gradually working its way into the hands of 'permanent' collectors, while those few remaining for re-sale opportunity get left to bidding wars for the other collectors still needing a piece. Whatever the reason(s), that is one crazy priced toy at the end of the day.

    Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

    Wow 18,000! That's about 4 semesters of the University I just enrolled in. That's a lot of coin. Someone obviously wanted it (and probably had been seeking it for quite some time) and said fuck it- I'm all in. I'm glad I haven't been looking lately, I'd probably be terrified of the pricing.

    not sure if this is strange or rare, but they are totally awesome.
    unfortunately my bid was way to low.

    Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

    Yeah, there are a few of these 'kaiju in boats' toys. The one I think I have seen the most is Booska. You can see some photos of them in original as in Moog's advert thread. I really love that Magular though, don't recall seeing him before. I have a bit of a soft spot for any of those sculpts.

    Here is a link to the Marusan Booska, though most of the images are gone now:
    viewtopic.php?f=30&t=27387&p=384457&#p384457

    and some of them as shown in Hero Kaiju Appraisal Catalog:
