 Re: M1 Giant Kanegon
US$1170 (117,000yen) sounds more reasonable (still waaaay out of my reach). Can't even contemplate what shipping costs are gonna be like. I'd love to own this 4 ft GID Kanegon and call him my friend.

 Re: M1 Giant Kanegon
If you buy the GID version you also get to choose the paint colour (one colour only). I would LOVE to own one of these guys too but shipping will be insanely expensive.

 Re: M1 Giant Kanegon
On top of that, M1GO won't sell it to anyone outside of Japan, so you will have to rely on an "agent."

 Re: M1 Giant Kanegon
I'll put him by my Giant Seven, although I'm stingy. I got the Seven for under $300.00 and can't do over $1000.00 these days. I have a birthday coming up tho

 Re: M1 Giant Kanegon
I got the email this morning too - and my first reaction was: how can I raise the money the get this Kanegon! Man, I want this thing so bad. In that youtube video, Coop talks about how hard it was to get one of these back in the day.
The price is actually not bad considering how freakin' huge this thing is. How many barrels of oil do you think it takes to make one of these?
I sent an email a few hours ago to find out what shipping would be to the US.
Hey, I can dream, can't I?

 Re: M1 Giant Kanegon
It's about 4 feet tall. That picture is taken on the front stoop of M1GO's world headquarters, but there's nothing in it for scale.
