    That's really sad news about Creevox and also a shame his family missed out on the winning money – although I wish i'd see them in the first listings!

    I keep saying it and really must do it ...need to make a toy list with values

    Sorry to hear about Creevox. Didn't know him but knew of his collection.

    Regarding keeping records of values; the other important issue is insurance.
    Not that a thief is gonna think a bunch of toys neatly displayed on shelves can send a kid to college but in case of fire, tornado etc...
    Especially if one is a renter, and it goes for anything you have of value, renters insurance detailing items is a must. A homeowner can add a rider to cover, art, comics, beanie babies, whatever.

    This is very good advice that I should follow. Renters insurance is cheap from what i've heard, and i've been meaning to look into it for years. If i'm not mistaken, most auto insurance companies will let you add a rider to your policy for renters insurance, and if you have multiple policies at one company, they usually give you a discountted rate. I live in California, and an earthquake or wildfire could wipe out everything in a real hurry....not to mention some douche in the apartment below me, or next to me, could fall asleep with a cigarette in their hand and burn the whole building down.

    It's not just toys either....I have thousands of dollars worth of music equipment, thousands of albums, framed artwork, rare books, etc. not to mention that I could drop dead tomorrow, and family/friends would not have a clue as to its value....

    Does anyone remember the animated shorts of Goga?
    I remember seeing one on Youtube. Goga Final attack or something? Burning stuff on fire?
    Am I just making stuff up?

    I'd been hunting this guy for a while. Well worth the wait, he is massive and amazing in person. Having 1 makes me want an army now(or at least a Cambodia head).

    I've heard about Anraku dying vinyl but this is my first chance to see it in person.

    That was a regular release. First version of the figure.
    Speaking of dyeing vinyl, if you get your hands on the vader version of those giants and hold them to the light you can tell they are the red vinyl dyed black. I think that explains partially why the vaders were so limited. (before anyone PMs, they just passed through my hands... I don't have them anymore. This is just how I remember them.)

    That might be a left over blank from the OG baby blue run of Gogas.

    For what it's worth; I received an update in early June. The agent had 50% of the lucky bags and expecting 20-30% more in the coming weeks. Exactly what that means in regards to delivery dates is anyones guess.

    In case anyone hasn't heard, Anraku is not well again, which explains the long delay. My understanding is that the lucky bags are about 2/3s complete.
