MemberBaragonNov-22-2014 3:28 PMHow’s it goin’, folks? :)
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, and I figured there was no time like the present!
Many, if not most, of us Godzilla fans, myself included, are avid collectors of DVD’s, toys, posters, and other kaiju memorabilia. In this thread, I offer you all a place to share info and pictures of your latest purchases, whether they be a little trinket you found at a hobby shop, an awesome score from eBay, or a massive haul from a convention! Whatever you have just added to your collection, if its kaiju related, share it here!
I’m ALWAYS adding stuff to my collection, so you can count on me sharing my latest purchases here when I have the time to share, and I invite you all to do the same!
Let the bragging sharing commence! :D

MemberBaragonNov-22-2014 3:38 PMI’ll start off… my most recent purchases include the Bandai Creations Godzilla 2014 vinyl figure, the BC GMK King Ghidorah (even though I already have the superior Japanese one!), NECA’s Pacific Rim Deluxe Kaiju “Clean” Knifehead, Axehead, and the Knifehead Scaler, the Bandai EGG series Gigan, the Trendmasters Baby Godzilla “Baby X” from GINO, all four Starman films (man, THOSE are insane and highly recommended), Terror Beneath the Sea (a super obscure little man-in-monster-suit Japanese film starring Sonny Chiba and an army of Fishmen!), both Zeiran films (1990’s man-in-suit Japanese films), and I have the Japanese Deluxe Edition of Godzilla (2014) (with the SHMA G14 Poster Color Version) and Y-MSF Gaira on pre-order!
Whew!

MemberMothra LarvaeNov-22-2014 4:33 PMWell recently I discovered just how useful Amazon is for collecting Godzilla-related figures at reasonable prices. Off the top of my head, my most recent purchases include a Region 0 DVD of The Return of Godzilla, the NECA Godzilla 1994, posters for The Return of Godzilla, Godzilla vs. Biollante, Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, Godzilla vs. Mothra, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 2, Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, and GMK, and a decal of the outline of Godzilla 2000 for my laptop. I plan to get the Movie Monster Series Male M.U.T.O. at some point as well as the NECA Godzilla 1984. Speaking of the NECA '84, it supposedly started shipping two days ago, but Amazon still has only one available for the ridiculous price of $75.

MemberBaragonNov-22-2014 9:37 PM^Thanks, Gojira2k! :D I thought the site should have a place to share the new additions to our collections! Plus, Christmas is coming up, and this would be a great place for fans to geek out over their new kaiju goodies!

MemberMothra LarvaeNov-23-2014 11:10 AMBy the way, does anyone know why the NECA Godzilla 1984 isn't available on Amazon yet, considering NECA supposedly opened it to shipping on the 20th?

MemberBaragonNov-23-2014 11:39 AM^Good question. :/ NECA figures almost always pop up sold by secondary sellers LONG before Amazon gets them in for a resonable price. Not even the newest Jaegers, which were shipped out almost a week ago, are available through Amazon yet. Just keep checking and it should turn up in a few days!
Heres the product link for ya:
$76.00? Really? -_-

MemberMothra LarvaeNov-23-2014 4:32 PMMy newest purchase is the Bandai pink tag Mecha-King Ghidorah. Haven't received it yet since I paid yesterday, but I can't wait to have it be part of my collection. Suprisingly, it was originally for 39 bucks (with shipping) and only 1 apart from me bid on it. Kinda odd.
Danzilla93
MemberBaragonNov-24-2014 8:19 AM^Sweet buy! I love that figure! :D Its discouraging seeing how much that thing goes for now... I got it for like $20 off of eBay five or so years ago. :/

MemberMothra LarvaeNov-25-2014 6:21 AMWell, Amazon finally got some more of the NECA Godzilla 1984 figures in for a lower price, but they're still like $10 more expensive than they should be. Hopefully the price should go down soon.

MemberBaragonNov-25-2014 5:28 PM@G-fan2000:
Not cheap. :/ The figure, combined with the 5 disk set, came to something like $120 or $130 (I don't remember the exact JPY to USD conversion number). But either way, not cheap... but totally worth it. ;)
@Sci-Fi King25:
Thanks, man! :D
@TKOTM:
Thank GOD its finally popping up for cheaper. In a few more days, it should be around $18.99 or $24.99. I can't wait!

MemberMothra LarvaeNov-25-2014 6:38 PMHmm, eBay sounds like it might have some rare figures for more reasonable prices. I'll have to check it out.

Danzilla93
MemberBaragonNov-25-2014 7:15 PM^Please do! Thats where I've gotten most of my figures over the last 8 years; the good news is, if something is too expensive, or you loose a bid, someone else will ALWAYS sell another one someday for a better price! Its all about patience (and restraint, if you're me...) and waiting for a good deal, but if you stick with it, you'll find some GREAT stuff!
