Thanks for the ISBN number! I have a number of large Japanese bookstores within a few blocks of my office in Manhattan and I should be able to order this thru them for the cover price

this looks really good although $67 (with shipping) seems really steep. Anyone have this or know what the original yen was? Thanks! |

That's a GREAT book, it's called Sofubi Holocaust and has tons of obscure robot and kaiju characters you never knew were realized in vinyl. Unfortunately that price sucks. I got it at Mandarake last month for 800 yen, half the original cover price of 1600 yen. The ISBN is 4-415-09321-3 if you want to try searching for it elsewhere. |

Hey, look at this, there are 7 used and new available on Amazon JP, starting at under 2,000 yen: link The used book sellers don't usually ship to the US like Amazon Japan does, but I'm sure you could get an agent to order one for you. |

I love those Saito books. I hear tell that there are more of them on the way, too. There is some more information about toy books over at Toybox DX: http://www.toyboxdx.com/infolibrary/pubs/ http://www.toyboxdx.com/library/books/lit-index.html |
