Shawn Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Seiichi emailed me and said that the IHP monster order project is sadly cancelled. Mr Sakuragawa is simply too busy to do the project. Sorry Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwwmwww Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 No!!!!!! Can we atleast ask Mr Sakuragawa to contact Seiichi if he ever gets the time? Failing that I know I passed up this kit atleast once now either on Yahoo Japan or eBay. Does anyone here have the kit? I guess I'm back to looking for it on Yahoo Japan. Noel... Have you sold one of these before? Was IHP at this years wonder festival? I'm guessing not as I didn't see them in the pics. If anyone ever sees one PLEASE let me know...

Skull Leader Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Sadly, I knew this kit's days would go down in the west..... IHP puts out some TOP NOTCH work, it's only downfall? They don't establish production deadlines and as such, they can put off projects indefinately as they see fit. I cannot say that I blame them.... they're some busy guys (just how many work for IHP? probably not many)... all we can do is hope and pray. As far as finding a kit already, I was under the assumption that none exsisted on the market... am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal_D Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! guess I'll be crying myself to sleep tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwwmwww Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 (edited) As far as finding a kit already, I was under the assumption that none exsisted on the market... am I wrong? Yes... I've just got confirmation that atleast 8 of these have been sold at past wonder festival events. I think... read as I'm not so sure... but I think I once saw one of these on Yahoo Japan. I'm about 99% sure that if I had seen it I would have saved the picture and I now can't find the picture so I'm not so sure any more. Anyways... yes there are a *FEW* of these out there that are no longer in IHP's hands. I just have to find out how to get one in mine.

wwwmwww Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 sorry CarlI was never in the league of the I.H.P monster in fact, never an I.H.P item they were always sold out before I could get my cash to them but all is not lost there is a better tomorrow Noel Thanks for trying. Keep your eyes open and let me know if you ever see one. Was IHP even at the last Wonder Festival at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwwmwww Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I *DIDN'T* dream it. I just found the pic. Here it is: By the way, the file name is post-8-80265-DSC01391.jpg and its dated 2/24/03 1:24 PM. Anyone have an idea how to trace this back to an auction number so I can see who sold it and who bought it if it sold? Thanks, Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwwmwww Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I have this "boxart" label...........I took it from I.H.P's table from last year's hobby expo .. but I have to find where I kept it........ or did I gave it away??........ if I find it, I will give it to you Carl Kewl... and thanks SO SO much. I'm a third of the way there. Now I just need the box and its contents. Later, Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Nope... The image name, though generated by Yahoo, does not contain the item number. And even if it did, an auction from february would have been purged from the system months ago Here's a pic from a more recent auction I saw, dated 6/30/03. And, much to my amazement, I found the URL!! http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e28138972 (you'll need a valid login to see it) starting bid: Y1 number of bids: 8 ending price: Y49000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted August 26, 2003 Author Share Posted August 26, 2003 That was won by a Rinkya member http://www.rinkya.com They are an auction bidding service like Celga or Shono Carl-perhaps you can contact them and ask them to forward an email to the winner of that auction S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that means two have made their way to Yahoo Japan. If you see another PLEASE email me about it. I just can't find the time to keep up with all the stuff that's on Yahoo Japan these days. Thanks again... Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwwmwww Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Carl-perhaps you can contact them and ask them to forward an email to the winner of that auction I've tried that and I'm trying this too: http://www.rinkya.com/cgi-bin/forum/ikonbo...act=ST;f=2;t=84 We'll see what happens....
