Since then, many new Godzilla collectibles have been released so what does everyone think needs to be added and why? Mike Russo of the Club Tokyo Collecting Club mail list mentioned it there so let's hear from the Roost also.

All of my kaiju stuff are priceless for me.

[Godzilla54]

^ Same here.  I wish I had all those great collectible that were mentioned but I know I will never get them.  

[Daikaijuking]

me too

[Melkor]

Same here... I really want the Japanese Godzilla '54 poster, it's just such an epitome of everything Godzilla. When I first got into the fandom and I saw a black and white copy of that poster in some magazine, I immediately fell in love with it. But I guess we can't have all things, but that's what wishful thinking is for.



Peace,



Melkor

[The Great MM]

OMG OMG, I have some of those!!!!! I have the 10" TM Space Godzilla (removed from box, missing that orange horn thingy), the Auroa Godzilla Model, I used to have Shogun G, I also have the 40th anniversery TM set!!!

YAY

[Robert Ranting]

Hmn.  Interesting.  The only one I have is:

...before you all have cats, it's a reproduction, printed around 1998, and thus not worth anything except to look at.

[Arose]

I remember seeing the 54 poster reproductions on sale.  Thats about it.  I could kick myself everytime I remember that I didn't buy it.

The only thing I have from the list is the Shogun Warriors G.  And man o' man, I got it when I was 2, so its in a bit of rough condition.

[VinylGoji]

half of that stuff is Impossible to find and very expensive, I spend more than i should, but to get all that is allmost impossible unless your filthy stinkin ritch *

By the way it says Marmit Varan and Marmit Gigan but which ones, the para-baby, Vinyl Paradise, or Monster Heavens??

[kinggoji]

The list is from 1999; thus it's Vinyl Paradise.

Everyone is still waiting for the "New Updated" list, but someone is taking their time with it.  

[kinggoji]

Hey, if you can actually get a reply from Sean, then go for it.  There were a couple of threads on ClubTokyoC about a new list, and someone was going to compile it, but AFAIK nothing ever came of it.

Richard

[Saruman]

I thought that you were the one that was going to compile it, along with the year end poll results?

[kinggoji]

I'm doing the usual year-end poll, which should be up, like, tomorrow, but don't have anything to do with the new top 100.  Maybe legion92 (Mike R.) was doing it?

Richard

[Godzilla guy]

Half of that stuff is impossible to buy nowadays. I have the american posted of godzilla 1954 and thats pretty good. Could anyone get the poster picture posted here???

[Mr. Bagan]

I have the 10" Space Godzilla.  I also have the Godzilla out of the Tricephalon set and the 40th TM set, though all the figures are out of the box. I really wish I had the power up Angilas. Ayway, how are the Aurora King Ghidorah and Rodan so expensive? They used to be on sale at ToysRUs all the time. Now I wish I had picked them up.
