Post Japan vs Flynn & Plover
Well, I traveled all over Tokyo with Fynn and Issac and bought lots of cool stuff but sadly did not find anything on my "grail" list which is admittedly very small and made up of ridiculously limited figures.

However since I have been home 2 of the figures have found their way to me:

So I guess Super7 is officially a better place for me to find toys than Tokyo.

Yesterday Plover saw this figure and grabbed it for me off YJA. It is the only SB figure I have not been able to get my hands on.

Thanks to both of you. It was a great weekend. My list of grail figures is significantly shorter than it was on Friday.

So now that you've completed your SB collection, I'm sure it will just be boring to constantly maintain it with all upcoming releases... please let us know when you have the great Pogue SB Sell-off off 2006 so you can start over and have fun again... :D

the Gf is a test shot. The head is flesh and the body is gid.

No sell off for me but I might be able to let go of some SB trade bait in the near future (no pm's please)

Johnny, you still have all three spray mantis to tease me with. I do want them but so far I have not been willing to go the distance to acquire them.

BTW - are there thre colors of the Kaiju Skullbee? I only have the green but if the other two are out there I might have to add them to the list.

Next up for me is the RM (I need 3 figures) and RxH (I think I need 5 figures but this is still very unclear). Then I can focus on the vintage stuff full time.

I don't have them all but I have all the versions I want: clears, balzac, bloody, gid...ect. There are a lot of really ugly bees (IMO) so I have no desire to own them all. If I see them for cheap I grab them but I won't pay over retail for any of the bee's I don't have.

Which bee do you consider the best looking (most non-ugly)?

the clears are all very nice as a set. Stand alone I would go with the Kaiju green spray, or the red balzac.

Very excellent...that proto is a really cool one. Love those clear hands too.

I saw plover snagged that pumpkin and thought Glenn had missed that one again, but Tim comes through! Totally sweet move.

I also remember seeing the other kaiju bees (orange and pink to match the mantis). Don't remember where either but pretty positive they exist, although never seen them for sale anywhere.
