I've hunted for the Shogun Warriors Godzilla like...forever.
Ever since I was a kid, I wanted this one.
But for some reason the Big G never showed up at my side of the ocean much. Shipping was always $$$$ for such a big item, so I didn't go for a US seller.
Twenty years (!!!) ago, I went to a local convention, and there he was, standing on a dealer's table. I went in for "the kill", but would you believe it, about five yards before I got there, another fan snatches it away!
(please insert a slow-motion shot of me shouting "Noooooooooo!!!!!")
And that was the last one I saw here.
In 1996, I started corresponding with a really cool Godzilla fan called Scott Witherall. He lives in Vegas. And our love for that big reptile kept us together for 13 years now. He's visited me twice now, and vice versa.
And whenever I need something that can only be delivered to the US, Scott is there for me.
And now there's a Godzilla Shogun Warrior waiting for me in Vegas. The Big G is just chilling with my friend until I pick him up, hopefully next year.
At last!
How's that for patience?
