I called the owner of Toykyo today. They recently told me that they have collectors who purchase every sculpture they make. So i guess they get contacted first. The previous birds were for sale at Toykyo for +-$500 each, Colette sold them for +-$1080 :-s and they were gone in no time. The new birds are $400 each + shipping.
Let me know if you want to buy one, i can call right away. -

Vera, listen, please...I don't have an issue about other people's semi-personal comments. I love them! Sil and I did that, but some people were annoyed. As far as I see it, it makes Roto alive. It's not like the clever comments are standing in queue!!!! Mostly it's just ; "I love this..blah blah".... But the moment people are getting personal, it's all : GET A ROOM! . Roto was meant to connect people, right?
Maybe in the near future Sergey will add a chat room????????? -

I agree,personal comments are interesting and bring a little humanity to the collecting experience.
I wouldn't like to think we are all po-faced collectors just in it for the investment!
These are toys! Let's have fun! :) -

YESSSSSS!! :D
that pic made me smile up to both ears!! smart idea and i gotta say, i love your taste in shoes! i would wear that kind and color of shoe, too...but it seems, like you got tiny feet! lucky girl! -
13 years ago
actually, I am terribly unlucky with shoes :-( I have tiny feet indeed, but not enough tiny for those beautiful red shoes... I just bought them online and unfortunately they are too small. I love them a lot, so they might end up as... display shoes, haha. lesson learnt: never buy shoes online, buy only toys :-)
-
13 years ago
@ penguin: i gotta agree, it looks bigger than i expected as well, but as vera said, she has tiny feet, hence the shoes are tiny, too ;)
@vera: may i ask for your shoe size? your feet might look like baby ones next to a 10 1/5 - 11
and can't you exchange those ones for a size bigger or was that an ebay auction and not an online store??? -
13 years ago
I wear size 36 (european) and yes, it was an eBay auction, no bigger sizes available.
the bird is a bit bigger than I expected too, but well, shoes are small :-D

you will not believe what just happened... the shelf where I placed the bird just collapsed, out of the blue. I was the happy owner of the bird for... 48 hours.
(I don't blame my luck, I know it was totally my fault not to secure it properly. I guess I didn't deserved that beauty...)

I love the thing about diversity. I have no feelings for this piece, but other people are ready to pay 400 bucks for it. Now, finally I understand my man, who thinks all my toys are garbage. Obviously it's all about TASTE. I've paid 580 bucks for an insanely rare Coil LP.
Are you ready/ rich enough to get the things you love? -

Thanks for all the sympathetic responses. It was incredibly disappointing to keep pulling dupes. But since had a message from Kidrobot on Twitter seems like they're gonna try to help me out.
That's pretty good customer service right there, somethings wrong, step in and do what you can to put it right. Nice. -

I got a case at Newbury comics .. straight forward layout & ratios. Just got my case from KR (for huck variant) but it was an unsealed case and all my numbers were off. Got 4 zombies, two mishka eyeballs, 4 kronks ... was missing a lot of 1/20's.

For those who asked, KR allowed me to select 12 new blind boxes from a sealed case. (They took back 9 of this design, plus because in that same case there were so many other dupes they allowed me to return 3 of those too, = the 12 replacements)
If anyone's interested from that 12 I got 8 of the missing designs, plus some extra dupes of Squink, Dirty Donny, & the Zombie.
Pretty pleased with the way KR responded to this, not sure others have been so lucky in the past, but they did seem to think this was an exceptionally bad case, so I was fortunate in the end. -
