OMFG!! This is a lost city of gold !

For the sake of keeping these treasures well taken care of and even built to their intended full glory, i will endeavor to acquire some of this goodness!

Thank you @Shawn for linking this together for us! You too are an invaluable resource and a great guy ! :clapping:

Please spread the word if you can. I don't do any social media other than this site, so if you want to tweater and facespace it, please do LOL 😛

It truly is a once in a lifetime discovery, I hope with enough support we can encourage Anthony at Wise Guys Hobbies to really dive in with many more pictures and videos.

I know I've had dreams of rummaging through model kits on shelves and discovering something new...I can't be the only wacko!
Going through all these cases of discovered kits would be a very fun experience!

It's mega.. this is a time vault of the 80's sci fi kit world. Just looking over the items up on eBay , and I'm like ..:o Prices aren't bad, IMO. Though I can't tell you how many of those kits i once had. My kid self just didn't know..:cray:

Yeah, the prices are very reasonable if not flat out below market pricing....The Wise Guys are actually being pretty cool about their pricing...they currently have the market cornered on several of these old school anime kit lines....again, best of luck for their sales

Having fun frame stepping into the videos and identifying the specific cases!

I believe we have 6x cases of the Arii 1/100 small missile Regult around the U shape
Top of the U on the right I think is the Arii 1/100 Super Gerwalk
In the center is the Arii 1/100 Super Fighter
and I think that says AR-327 on the box, which could be the Aroo 1/100 Scout Regult

In the hallway

Imai 1/100 Tomahawk (not sure which color box)
and AR-302 implies the Arii 1/100 Defender

Usually you see these kits...once and a while...here and there...like on eBay or some flea market.  What an incredible inventory and time capsule!  Not only extremely rare kits...but brand new and shrink wrapped in some cases.

That name...GTC...jogged my memory and I hadn't seen that in probably 35+ years!

Incredible.  I miss the 80's quite a bit.  What a incredibly creative time that was.

Wow, thanks Shawn for bringing this to us! GTC, Galactic Trade Commission, i still have the 1994 catalog, feels like 1994 all over again.

Looking forward to Feb 2023. I noticed that the video-links in the post only play audio.  Can't wait for part 2.

Thanks again for the blast from the past!

I was going to ask around if anyone had an earlier catalog to share, would love to see more of the earlier items.

You might want to try a different browser? The videos are there in a desktop browser
And I just checked my my phone-they play in CHROME, but Firefox is not seeing them

Interesting!
Open CHROME :)

Ok...think I fixed it
I did not know Firefox (or other OSes) might have an issue with HEVC videos...converted to H264 and re-uploaded

Please refresh and confirm they work

Shawn

HI Shawn,

work confirmed, videos now visible on chrome, safari and firefox.

Thanks,

George

Just noticed something interesting

https://www.ebay.com/itm/255845435462?hash=item3b91938846:g:kScAAOSwW4JjgDNV

I got both my monsters from Ron @ GTC back in the day (same set of stock, from TCI)
The whitebox has a Tatsunoku sticker, while the blue has the standard big west

The ones in Japan have the bigwest sticker.

Just stupid info for the nerds
