Well, its been close to 12 years of searchin', battlin', snipin' and researching items for my collection. As soon as I start digging them out of their storage, they will be going up for sale /auction. I have been contacted already by a few people who know my collection, with offers to purchase certain items (nothing had been promised or decided as yet. Please don't email me and ask how much for that or that one (but you can email with an item you may want, thats kool, just not sure what this or that will go for, I have advise). Not sure yet how I'll offer them, it would be first contact and would be paid via PayPal, plus shipping.
Keep in mind a lot/most of these items, you haven't seen for a reason, a lot of these items are old, and rare and/or were never offered to the USA market and many come from around the world. Keep that in mind, they were not cheap when I found nor cheap to get here. If it gets pissy, then please do not contact me, what I ask for things is what I'll take, and I have a pretty sound knowledge of their value, worth and rarity.
So, have a look. to get an idea. Our board original members know the size of my collection and many of its items, but there a lot of newbies that do not, or know the items I've collected..
pictures up soon.

Sorry, some of the pictures are a little blurry, those were taken for by old camera that was a pain and disappointment at a few good events.
I've never been a toy collector, but more of a Herbie collector. I didn't do it to sell them, but life does change, it has for me many times in my life and I invest sort of in the things I love. Everything is for sale. We hate to say it, but it is. I've survived the last two years in the market that I was an expert in, that has died and killed many people in my biz, only because I had/have things of value. I have a lot more, just no pictures as yet.

Graham Hendersonと言う著名な方?が中心になって、ハービー博物館(テーマパーク)の計画があるようです?翻訳サイトを通すとそんな感じかな?
まだ資金集めの段階で、決まってないようですが、どうなるんですかね〜。
USのファンにとっては中東に売られちゃうのは悲しいかも。
