Japan connections for Jumbos

[rodman75]

One continual theme I keep hearing is that one must have connections overseas in Japan in order to procure the rarest of Jumbos.

With that being the apparent case, is anyone willing to inform us fellow members of who we can reach out to overseas? You can PM me the info if you feel more comfortable that way. If not, you can reach me at my personal e-mail ; [e-mail]

A quick e-mail address would be greatly appreciated. This way I can hopefully establish a mutually benenficial relationship with a trusted seller.

Thanks again

my little brother just moved back to yokohama. hes one of my sources right now. let me know what youre looking for if no one else responds and i can ask him to keep his eyes and ears open. i have a house in osaka where i spend some time a couple of times a year, so i can also give you a heads up before i go. i dont think ill do any purchases for people, but i can point out what i see and where it is. this will be my first year back since ive been collecting jumbos, so we will see if i come back with a bank account exhausted on toy robots and kaiju or not.

im headed to japan in june before it gets unbearably hot and humid. shoot me a list and i will let you know what i find. japans not really cheap for these things as it is the heart of the collectors market. flea markets in japan are the place to go. ive got one other great source who goes to art auctions and jumbos show up in lot purchases sometimes. there is zero demand for them at these auctions, but the venue is not geared toward toys at all, so he sees them maybe a couple times a year,
