now I finally understand what a Holly Grail is...
since yesterday, this blue bird blew out my mind- it is all I can think about.

I'm the type of toy collector who really doesn't have ONE holy grail. I have several....

there are still a few blue and red birds available. The pre-orders on the black are all gone, so these are sold out already !

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.

@everybody: sorry for all these semi-personal comments, I know they are not of general-interest. I am just crazy about this bird (blew my mind) and I am having a panic attack, haha

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! :)

thank you for pointing this out, TOY and MaquetteCity!
because of the "complaints" a while ago, i feel a bit uncomfortable now to make more than 1 or 2 personal comments at all...
and VERA, i love to read your comments on "the holy grail" and to see your excitement about it!!!

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!

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 :-)

@ 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???

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...)
my heart is broken

Not as good as the original, but hopefully it will console the widow. On its way to Romania.

It's just a little one. I've been wanting to make a Parra-inspired puzzle, his stuff translates to puzzles well.
