Eat your hearts out guys - my g/f gets me kaiju for Valentine's Day. To wit, the vintage Leafman below (with the help of the wonderful Super 7 staff). Accept no substitute from your g/f or wife - if she isn't buying you kaiju, she's just not that into you!
I got a B-man forever Skullbrain and Squirm last year for Valentines... this year though money's too tight for kaiju gifts. We stayed in and ate and watched a movie instead of gifts. =) Phil
my wife got me a ring. she said she was either going to get me kaiju or a ring. i can see someone having a hard time getting kaiju for someone, especially if there not into kaiju themselves. i wish super7 had a wish list.
Sweet leafman! Were those your pink flowers too? I "accidently" left my ebay up and got a black proto obake dog.
My brother & sis-in-law were just making fun of me--that no woman would ever do such a thing. Touche!!!

I'd go even further and say that your g/f needs to be able to name at least 10 Ultraman kaiju before you consider her marriage material (like that famous quiz scene from the movie "Diner"). Of course, at your discretion you can count as acceptable answers the names of kaiju from other shows like Spectreman, Mirrorman, etc. I'll trade 12 roses for vintage kaiju any day of the week. Any other takers?
My girl knows all the secret Base fight figure types- plus when I first met her one of the conversations on our first date was about how during the prior christmas she spent weeks looking for the Toys R Us reissue G1 Sideswipe for her brother... And I was thinking "Oh my god she knows her old school transformers by name, she's marrying material!" I am very lucky. =) Phil
haha, when you tie the knot, all that Kaiju gift giving will come to an end I got the same present from my homies a couple of months back but the wifey would just not entertain the thought especially with my over crowded collection. Nice Score btw! Vintage Leaf Man with sword has to be one of my favorite of all time.
Actually, redhanded has an excellent idea. Super 7 should start a "wish list" like Amazon so that friends and family would know what to get us for gifts. Related to that, with the amount and cost of new stuff these days, I'm getting kind of burned out on it and instead moving more towards vintage figures (I've always collected vintage but I'm definitely shifting my buying habits a lot more towards vintage - the cost is not that much more than new stuff and it's often a lot more appealing than the new stuff). Maybe S7 should start a Japanese/YJA buying service for customers. With all their contacts in Japan, as long as they could be relatively competitive with YJA, I'd rather see my dollars go to support S7 than the Japanese buying agents. If we had wish lists, for example, S7 would have enough lead time to search for things in Japan that our friends and family could get us for b-days, Xmas, etc. I'd much rather get a cool, vintage Kamen Rider villain than clothes I'll never wear, or whatever.
Amazon has a feature to add items from anywhere online to your wish list. its really easy and awesome. its called "Universal wish list" Try it. i have shit like LASK totes on mine. http://www.amazon.com/wishlist/3QD43KTT5A9F5 You can add stuff from any store-see mine has stuff from etsy, fred flare, and even LASK.
I got this groovy DVD for Valentines Day... Vampyr The Criterion Collection pretty cool old school blood lover flick from the year 1932... werd.
For what it's worth, Amy @ Lulubell is possibly the gift-giving wife/gf's best friend. That's how I wind up w/the pieces I've been gifted if your girl isn't getting you vinyl, somethin's up
