    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.

    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!

    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
