 Vintage Fresh Meat with some questions So thanks to the kaiju insanity that is G-Fest, I now have my first vintage piece, a standard Bullmark King Ghidorah. I love it and am feeling the urge to buy more. I just have a few questions?
1. So I get how the whole Celga thing works, and feel myself being drawn to the dark side. What are some helpful Japanese names to search for, such as company names and character names? My kanji skills are not so great after one semester of Japanse years ago?
2. Are there any great online resources as far as photos, prices, rarity, etc?
Thanks!

Thanks! Not much in the way of a price guide. Better idea is to watch auctions to determine the general ending price. http://www.clubtokyo.orgSolid reference for M1, Marmit, some other semi-recent companies. http://mononofu.hp.infoseek.co.jp/museum/main.htmlI LOVE this site. Vintage companies and other obscure sofubi (all in Japanese). Some pieces that you will never see in real life. Enjoy.

Re: Vintage Fresh Meat with some questions one quick and handy way to search out japanese names is to use kaiju-taro site. the site can be flipped from japanese to english allowing you to look for stuff in english and then flip to japanese. cut and paste names to yja. easy.

Re: Vintage Fresh Meat with some questions collecting bullmarks from the godzilla line is a great place to start collecting vintage . lots of people start here and some thats all they collect . if you have any questions on what a fair price to pay for a figure this is the place to ask .

Re: Vintage Fresh Meat with some questions Thanks, and I definitely will. I'm definitely getting the vintage bug, to the point that I'm considering selling some of my newer stuff to fund it, but I'm not sure yet. In the meantime, I'll probably just keep watching YJA.
