Because it was posted to as recently as less than two months ago. Is that really necroposting?

I'd say not... actually, the two threads should be merged and sticky'd so people always know to post their collection in one thread.

I know quite a bit about where lots of my swag came from. I can also give you some general prices if you want...they may be a year or so outdated but I'd imagine they only went up.

 

As for the goldman, there were supposedly only about 50-100 made and were only given to Enix employees in the 80's as a sort of reward for good work during the DQ1/DQ2 era. The only known Americans they were ever given to were the translators of DW1. Funny thing was that Adam (?) of Nintendo Power was a translator for DW1 and he said he was the only one who got one and was shocked to see that I owned one because he said something along the lines of he only knew 5 people who had them. I've heard other numbers, one person suggested 50 were made, a guy in Japan said it was more like 100. It's hard to know how many exist today.

[enix 25]

One thing I just thought about...are you sure your goldman is the same as mine with the ceramic "grass" base? Because there's also the Metallic Monster Gallery one in this pic: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3277/2314431875_648102edc2.jpg

 

Totally different in size, rarity and value.

[DJ BlackJack 11]

[enix 25]

Not sure. I may, but I'd need to unpack everything again to find out.

I know at one time I had dupes of all of the DQ1-3 bosses in plush form, but I think I gave those to my brother a few years ago.

Enix, oh my God. You're the first person I've seen that actually has the boy and saber plushes from the original release of Dragon Quest V! It's the first and only pictures I've seen outside of a catalog image!

 

Can you tell me any more about them? Do you have any other pictures of them? Have you seen any others anywhere? I'd literally pay hundreds for them.

[mrhaboobi 0]

Id be keen to know more about the plushies and rarity/hardness to obtain, apparently the goldman statue i have is NOT an enix employee only one, and was sold through stores in 92. Dont know much more than that..

Honestly, I cannot for the life of me remember where/how I got them...it was a long time ago while in Japan. I think it may have been in Akihabara in a small shop that had glass booths that were rented out to regular people who sell their stuff in and on top of the little glass lockers. I think.

 

I do know they're like insanely rare, but I don't know an exact value. If I were to guess, I'd say low hundreds, possibly more since I too have never seen them anywhere else. Some of the rarer plushes do in fact sell for hundreds, the most expensive I know are the bosses, more specifically the DragonLord in dragon form which runs about $400-$500.

Where did you get this info?

[enix 25]

By the way, if anyone knows where to find this set; currently it's like my most wanted DQ set:

 

Dragon Quest Abel HG Sofubi Series set.

ドラゴンクエストHGソフビシリーズ

Dragon Quest Abel HG Sofubi Series set.

ドラゴンクエストHGソフビシリーズ

 

Those are actually on eBay right now. I'd never seen them before:

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/Dragon-Warrior-Quest-Anime-Abel-HG-Model-Figure-Toy-/290551027436?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a630d6ec#ht_500wt_1156

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/Dragon-Warrior-Quest-Anime-Tiala-HG-Model-Figure-Toy-/290551027743?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a630d81f#ht_500wt_1156

 

There are others that look equally rare, but they're not in the same packaging that your picture shows.

[enix 25]

I can get them wayyyyyy cheaper than that individually. I was hoping maybe someone would have the set. Abel, Daisy and Tiala are only worth about $35-$40 each, so you're seeing the US Ebay markup in play for those listings. Moko is the hardest to find. Yanak is like $50.

My collection isn't *quite* as impressive as most of them here, hahaha.

 

NES games: Dragon Warrior IV (I rented the other three from Erol's waaay back in the day)

PS1 games: Dragon Warrior VII

PS2 games: Dragon Quest VIII: JotCK

GBC games: Dragon Warrior Monsters, Dragon Warrior I&II, Dragon Warrior III

DS games: Dragon Quest IV: CotC, Dragon Quest V: HotHB, Dragon Quest VI: RoR, Dragon Quest IX: SotSS, Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime

 

Dragon Quest Sofubi Monsters: Slime, Golem, Slime Knight, King Slime, Metal Slime, Metal King Slime, Slime Stack, Liquid Metal Slime, Great Dragon, Orochi.

 

I started collecting the sofubi monsters about a month ago. I get them at mostly-reasonable prices from amiami.jp and I hope to have the full set by the end of the year. Right now I'm just looking for ones that cost under $15 US aren't on back order, but eventually to get some of the rare ones I'll have to resort to more expensive means. Dunno if I'll even try to get those metallic bosses or large-sized monsters.
