Same here with the Patchi...love it!

The giant brown was one of the Tokyo CultuArt releases (I don't recall S7 getting one???)...yeah I'd like that one too! I have this T-28 in my living room now...which is normally off limits for toys...but it's huge and no shelf can contain it! Oh well...it looks great!
I'd still probably buy the brown T-28 too if the opportunity presented itself :? Once you see this in hand it's pretty amazing.

Reading Mark's blog entry really makes me hunger to see Yuji Nishimura's collection. The M1 head honcho has a museum that has over 10,000 pieces and is the biggest japanese toy collection in the world. THAT I would love to see!

Is it a public museum ? Do you know where it is located ?

The Kodomo no Zidaikan museum is in Niigata and it is a public place. There was a large earthquake a few years that closed the museum for a while. After this if I remember right Yuji's collection of monster toys was taken out and replaced with other vintage toys, all this being after the museum was repaired. So I dont think there is any vinyl to look at now or maybe not very much. I always wanted to go but its so far from Tokyo and expensive to get there, its north from here and on the other side of Japan.

When I went to Japan in 2007 I was planning on visiting this museum but the earthquake hit one month before and not even the roads were fixed up yet. Here is a link to the museum's website:

and here is a YouTube video that is amazing (and with a great soundtrack): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKI7J3F-a0M

Cool, but a huge step down from Yuji had his stuff on display. That was an amazing display.
