How many 5k+ vinyls? probably 30-40 on a conservative day.
What would it take? Not sure what you are asking about. What would it take for what?

Kazunori Saito has all of them, and if you count reading his books, then I guess you've "seen" them.

largest collection ? i know yuji opened up his own museum in japan with like 8 tons of toys and props . couldnt get it all in . from an article in super 7 sean b mentions a collector known as the master who supposedly has 3 houses full of toys .as far as stateside if your talking only about hawaii variants only 3 people come to mind and thats sanford ,mike j and brian . it also doesnt matter how much money you have if there is nothing out there to buy . the gal in hawaii will not sell that kanagon as there is a lot of sentimental value in it . the other one is a friend of hers who after she bought it wrote her name on the foot .as far as i know there has only been one kanagon that has sold and the seller also had a eleking hawaii with a spray i have never seen .

Are you James M.?
Anyhow...the two in the photo are both my friend's (whom I think you know). The other one with the name on the foot is NOT one of those.

I can guarantee saito does not have them all, I think sanford may be the closest to a complete set. I do not think any one person has them all....

Frank, have you ever heard of anyone buying a toy that expensive to customize? It must happen.

Crack heads don't buy toys then scribble on them, they buy crack.
