Arrrrrrrgh! Well I missed out on two toys I REALLY wanted today, this is the second time Tokyobuyers has blundered (and a major one--they entered the wrong amount for my max bid, which was well above the winning bidders). I remembered that someone posted a pic of their magnet-headed dinos, and I stumbled on two auctions a few days ago. Can someone please tell me a little bit more about magnet-headed dinos?

Are they hard to come by?
What is a "normal" price range for them?
These were made by Nakajima.

I was watching these also, and was *this* close to bidding on these. Unfortunately, I had to let them pass. That first one is great!

These are especially cool, because this isn't the only example of magnets in vinyl that they did. The special Groizer one is similar. I wonder what else they did in this fashion.

Yeah, I really need to track down that magnetic Groizer, Myles. I had a chance on one a while back, but passed because it wasn't minty enough for my tastes.

Ah, so foolish!

There were a few magnemo super robots, weren't there, Brian? Danguard Ace...maybe Combattra?

But they were Popy, right? Not Nakajima?

Those magnet dinos are soooo great! I imagine they are pretty tough to find.

The Gaiking is Popy, not sure on the others as I do not have them. That is a question for Sjoen.

Love that Rumble. I've only seen the Gaiking and Combattler as well in terms of the Bandai magnemo sofubi.

If we're talking magnetic vinyl here is grail:

Saw at least one auction on YJA for one of Mr. H's magnets. The babelfish translator made a hash of the description that sounded halfway between mysticism and physics. I passed on utterly baffled. Too bad, because they seem to be really awesome toys!
