Looks like the new Anraku G Mamaregon will be shipping next week. Does anyone know what the color-way is supposed to look like? Can't wait to see these plus the extra-head. I guess since we all waited for awhile... due to Anraku being ill? We get a free gift? (Any ideas)

Yes! finally!
color way is a clear red? I guess. I don't know.

He had a minor operation,I guess.
Can't wait to see the Mamaregon with small gift?

i should have bought one

Thanks for posting the info about anraku. I passed on these, but I'm glad to see you guys are getting them soon!

I was wondering why we hadnt heard anything from him in so long and why his site was down.

Hope he's back on the mend!

i love his stuff.

can someone clue me in to how you purchase directly from him?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

i can keep a secret.

Magic my friend, you use magic.

I not too sure but, I don't think he sells directly to anyone? I could be wrong. I'm sure some will pop up on the board eventually.

thanks. as always, the hunt continues......

a couple of these posted on yahoo last week, don't know if anyone saw them. and yes, they are red. how to get on the mailing list? i dunno. i don't know how i got on it, but they wrote to me and asked me if i would like to purchase whatever was up and i saidd yes and have been solicited ever since, for which i am very thankful!

So what is the email address of the folks who wrote to you? A little help here.

i am sorry. i feel it would be a breach of trust to post such a thing. i hope you understand.

I am sorry also and I dont understand exactly what trust would be breached by sharing with other collectors how to purchase more items from this source.
Seems like Win Win to me.
Please be so kind as to explain.

Trust of the person he's ordering from perhaps?

I think it's disrespectful to post someone's email address on a message board without their consent.

it sounds lame but the guy has asked his address not be passed around

it would not matter who it was, i would never post another person's email address on a public message board. i may post my own but that's only becasue it's mine.

by the same token, i will not give friends other friends phone numbers without their consent. it's a matter of trust and privacy more than anything. i think it's rude that you would ask that it be posted for all or even argue for the posting of such information.
this is a can of worms i am sorry i opened.

My assumption here is the person you were solicited by is a store or dealer who would welcome new collectors to sell product to. As such, it is akin to asking you for a link to the super 7 store or pogues email at S7. Certainly, NO ONE would object to this, right?

Hmm, if by what I know is true, it is not.
And I totally forgot to reply to my email.

I can understand the guy not wanting his email out there.

1- These are usually super limited, so he doesn't need to worry about them NOT selling out,

2- He doesn't know who is a flipper and who isn't if just anyone emails him, so the people he deals with now is a small group and he can keep an eye on said group and know who on his contacts is just flipping toys.

3- He doesn't need our rabid collector butts bombarding him with nerd pleas all the time.

No, I'm not on the list, I wish, but I can see his point.

Thanks for putting that so well Jeff and PD.

Bob, if you're interested in Anraku items you can contact S7 now because they have anraku from time to time.

Others' email addresses are not public information whether they're a dealer or not. As a rule, links to other sites such as the "k one" and KT are also not allowed.

Problem solved.

most of this post sounds like a PM

Except for the person who specifically asked that their e-mail address not be given out. I'm not sure what their reasoning is, but they have been very clear on this point.

I was told a few days ago by a reliable source that Anraku is on a haitus and may not release anything new for quite some time, alas....

If they're already on S7's distribution network then are they still allowed to sell directly to buyers on the North American side?

Anraku isn't actually part of the distro. (last I heard anyway) I don't think they would be able to provide the numbers required. It's one guy doing all the work. I know s7 and a very few other shops still get in small quantities of the items. I think s7 ran a pre-order on the new ones a few months ago though.

Do you think with Anraku going on hiatus that his figures will skyrocket in value? Hmmm.. Not that the Gogas are quite high already
