Voltron stuff you own

My Voltron collection is so abysmally tiny it's hardly worth mentioning. I tend to pass on the items I get to other people that are serious collectors. I gave SGB a VV sticker book and stickers as a gift for helping me out with a project because I knew he'd appreciate them more than I ever would...which reminds me, I gotta get those mini-cards in the mail. It's been how long...?

I had the big Volty that held the figures, but I gave that to a cousin of mine (she was a big Volty fan too)and when she died her daughter kept it. I also had one of those itty bitty Voltron figures on my computer desk for the longest time - the one with a little gun that shoots a projectile - but I put it in my cousin's casket when she died.

Other than that, I have the Voltron and Golion DVD's, have to finish out the VV set. And I have LV puffy stickers. Don't know exactly where they are at the moment, but I will take photos when I find them.

For those of you wondering where to find cels, occasionally they pop up on Yahoo! Japan. Check out this link for a pretty cool Lotor cel:

Only problem is, getting it out of Japan usually requires a pint or two of blood drawn fresh from the veins, unless you happen to know someone over there who could snap it up for you. Or you can try Rinkya itself, but they're no better. I think it's because there are all kinds of tricky little fees that get tacked onto the price in Japan itself, for shipping and handling and sneezing and blinking and...well, you may get the idea.

Anyhow, if you were to try to nab this particular cel through Rinkya, they'll attach at least another $20 onto it. All depends on how bad you'd want the cel, but considering just how rare they are it might be worth it.

Here's some links below to other cels:

1) Looks like it might come from something in the second season. I don't recall it anywhere in the first: http://www.rinkya.com/twview.p...jp/auction/125275506

2) From Lotor's Birthday Party where Lance gets dropped down the mineshaft. Pretty pricey: http://www.rinkya.com/twview.p...p/auction/h136708200

3) A couple of cel sketches - first one is Lotor in a scene from the 'Sand People' episode. This is actually two sketches, with Lotor in the foreground, imprisoned sand people behind him.

4) An injured/dead Doom grunt - this is also a pair of cel sketches: http://www.rinkya.com/twview.p...p/auction/k118205760

On rare, rare occasion they also have some pretty decent cels for sale...when I have no money to bid, of course. I once saw a long pan shot of Allura in her gown. I believe it was the one where she makes her very first appearance at the top of the old castle stairs. I've also seen some excellent close-up shots of Allura and Romelle.

Not to be anal, but it's a DXV sticker book to be more precise. razz

I'm eternally grateful for it. Smiler It's a rare item and one that I never knew existed until you told me about it. Due to it's rarity it's one of my prized Voltron items.

I put up scans of it on my Voltron site for anyone that's interested in checking it out.

The sticker book scans can be found in the "Scans" subsection of the "Features" section.

I think that's from Episode 41 "There Will Be A Royal Wedding".

One of the most unusual DXV items I've ever seen was a little kiddie movie camera that played DXV clips. It appears once every blue moon or so. I think there were two in the package - a red one and a yellow one. Can't be sure though. Also on occasion there's a copy of the theme song on vinyl up for bids.

Haven't heard of that item before. Certainly an unusual one indeed.
