the gid run was indeed the 1st hp run that was sold publicly. technically the 'sample gid series' is the 1st bemon run, but none of them were ever sold publicly so that don't count. series 2,3,4,5 hps followed quite closely after the 1st gid and were not too tough to get back then.
And weren't they all 8,000 yen each? It's amazing how much retail prices have jumped in the past 5+ years.
But isn't this true of most things generally, 5 years ago things were so much cheaper and it wasn't sustainable
Well, I know of at least three that are on the board. One was actually on sale or trade (not sure which of the two) not a long while ago. That blue / yellow / magenta one with black dots is simply stunning, looks great.
Howdy Bemon lovers! I've still got this collection of images up. It's been a long time since it's been updated but might be of interest. Cheers! http://www.flickr.com/photos/studio391/ ... 043681189/
Even though I don't, and might never, own one of these gems, I still get a huge thrill of looking at all the pics. Thanks for collecting all the images plover. If ever I was in CKA and had to look at that display in person, I think my brain would explode trying to pick one. Seriously, that is the kind of decision no toy nerd should ever have to make.
I know who has it, but I'm certain he'll never let it go! whisper: maybe $5000 will do it and it's not me by the way
Ok, this took a while so apologies for the delay but I've finally managed to scan and upload the four Bemon Kougai posters I have. If you go to my Flickr account and view sizes you'll find the full res images (a massive 3509 x 4961 scan) ready for download. Also added a header for good measure. Enjoy!! If these aren't big enough and you want the 300DPI scans I'll set up a yousendit link where you can download them from for two weeks (I'm not sure if Flickr actually adds compression while uploading, otherwise these should be fine).
@Rudebeast, Thank you, sir! Not only these are great, the paint apps themselves do wonders as wall flowers. Again, thanks!
^^ Cheers Rudebeast I found these photos of paintings on Monster Brains recently from 2008 . . . L’amour Supreme. Noice! (This one appeared on pg3 of this thread . . . i've edited the photo a bit)
Cheers guys, you're more than welcome. Edit: the 300 DPI scans for those interested are here: https://www.yousendit.com/download/UW15 ... V3dYRHNUQw
Yeah Max, awesome mix! and that looks like a busy shelf, how about taking a step back and taking a wider shot?
