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! :) -

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!!! -

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! -
14 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 :-)
-
14 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??? -
14 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...)

Fashionists are to blame.

Over 100 years old fashion house and its brand are to blame.
And not saying for one bit that it would be anyway right or reasonable. -

They were not on sale. They were made as decoration for Chanel stores in 2006. You can only have one if you know someone who would sell it to you. Thre has been some in auctions.

being a porcelain statue brings into into a new price level.
it is also obviously not a "toy", though it certainly belongs to our world and I don't want to open that conversation again :p -

I'm with you hu8o, I missed this one on the pre-order also, and now I can't for the life of me think why I didn't pick it up. The others don't seem to make sense unless you have this to accompany them. I love them with this, but not on their own.
