Are you like me , curious about the auction that have close, ended at The auctions on Yahoo.co.jp/
If you are you can take a look at this :
http://aucfan.com/search1
There you can find ended auctions on Yahoo Japan. and if you click on the link in the different' auction you will come to the ended auction.
There you can see the ending bid, how many who were in the bid war and the sellers info .
BUT you can also see now the active auction there you can still bid on on Yahoo Japan.
http://aucfan.com/search2/
You can also take a look at different stores, shops, auctions :
http://aucfan.com/search3/
The in interesting with aucfan is that you can use it to search at other shop, store, auction as well like: Amazon.co.jp and Rakuten.co.jp/ as well.
So what I can understand the web site Aucfan.com can help with shopping search site , you can look after some store with some merchandise that you are looking for or get some statistics info, look at ended auction's.
This were a tip if you like me are so curious and what to be updated how it when on some auction's .

This with bootleg Merchandise
There have been talk about Bootleg Anime Merchandise, as Ginga bootleg.
The bootleg, fake (illegally) merchandise haven't been so large as other anime/manga series.
But still there are some people who try to take advantages of fans, collectors .
A specially at different auctions.
What I have seen and heard at Japanese Yahoo auction there have been fake autograph of Yoshihiro Takahashi. And the biding war went high.
So it's hard to see which are fake or what the real deal
When it come to the autograph it's more safe to get the autograph by your self .
For here can be there can be those people who love to get a chance to so to speak "milk people on money".
The the thing on the fake,bootleg merchandise that show up is , mostly or alway the person or person try to make money of fans. Sure thing that other sellers try to sell with some kind of profit.
But the bad part for me at lest the bootleg, fake as for dvd, plushes, mug, shell's for iphones, or even books, is that fact that you contribute to illegally support those sellers/shops when you buy bootleg, fake dvd,cd, merchandise and so on.
This is pure rudeness to the publishers,Yoshihiro Takahashi and the others behind the series, work.
So one if you buy illegally, bootleg, it's more or less hit in the face for the creates.
There are (at lest I think so) different between bootleg , fan made,customer made
For those that go out and make, create fanwork, ,customer made don't try to go out and bluff like their thing are the real deal. As other have and try to do
Then there are questions about the fan made,customer made and how legally they are in real life.
You know selling some artist creation for money. I think this one are hard to have opinion, view one.
But in a way in mine mind the people who create fake merchandise of any anime, manga movie, series try to milk people on money.
Hm true I get that this can be a cheaper way to collect or get some merchandiser dvds.
But even so, some illegally merchandise can be expensive as the real deal can be.
Sometime I wonder why some just collect and collect with out doubt, question their self.
But the thing that can worry me is more the people who go out and say :
- RARE !!!!
When the true is, the manga or the merchandise aren't rare.
It depend on were you look , were you seek.
Most of the time it's that way to try to lurk people to think it's rare just to earn more money.
Then we have the fake,illegally , also called bootleg merchandise there have show up more now.
The true is that you can't stop people to buy, can at lest tell about this
And hope that some people think before they buying merchandiser that they aren't sure on.
If it fake or not
For at lest I find the more real deal better, the quality are most of the time way better then the illegally, bootleg things.
I wish I know more about the fake bootleg merchandise when I were younger and when I start the collection. it's true what people say wisdom come with age, but that could be a lot better if you could be better inform about the fake, bootleg merchandise that can show up.
There are probably many anime, manga fans, collectors out there
So way not take a look at a nice create video about this matter.
I find it useful as a collector and a fan to many anime series

The manga look more or less much the same as the GNG manga format, size and so.
And in the GNG manga there are also add for the Ginga Shin Gaiden Remix.
As you see the manga's are really new
Now you probably wonder , what the special with this manga then ?
More there are small fact's about the manga, characters,Yoshihiro Takahashi works or small studio sheets from the anime Ginga Nagareboshi Gin ? Well let take a fast look at the manga's then ^^
There are 484 pages and the adventures start like many other manga books when Gohei go out on the hunt.And Daisuke are around when Gin and his brothers are born
The volume end with Gin & Daisuke meeting the wild dog in the mountain. Gin look up and see a shadow of the wild dogs leader.
But there are some extra things in the manga.
Perhaps small ones but still I like it
Like the generations images with ; Shiro, Riki, Gin, Weed and Orion.
And also a small map over Japan where their many adventures goes.
And more info about the time line, other adventures.
Hm five generation of dogs, that something ^^
I just wish we could know more about the mysterious Shiro.
I haven't myself taken a deeper look at Orion yet. I will
I love to see a bigger, perhaps more colorful map with the five generation as a poster. That could be a great thing
Sure there are adds , like for the Shin Gaiden, vol 1 and 2, Ginga Nagareboshi Gin manga and so one.
But in the end there are also , small studio sheets from the anime Ginga Nagareboshi Gin
First off is Gin, as you see. Then Daisuke, Daisuke parents ans small other things.
I really wold love if there were more
The manga start of when Gin hear the howling from the wild dog leader and he seem to forget about Daisuke and just runs after the wild dogs.
The volume ends when Hyena get meat and runs from the shadows. But Hyena falls and screams so Ben, Gin and the other wild dogs hear that. (Gin meet the Kouga/Koga clan).
As you get the volume have many pages, 372 pages .
Here are there adds for Shin Gaiden, vol 1 and 2,Ginga Nagareboshi Gin and Ginga Densetsu Weed, Orion manga series.
But this volume have also small studio sheets from the anime Ginga Nagareboshi Gin.
Here are also some ads and the manga volume have about 404 pages
There are in the volumes summarize, Sum up what happed in the previous volumes.
The adventure goes from Hyena running and some strange dogs show up. They move in the tree's like shadows. Gin and the pack are going to meet Kouga/Koga & the Iga clans.
The manga end with Kurotora & Chutora both captive by a other wild dog pack in Shikoku. There we see familiar face, Sniper .
Also some manga images in the characters, as well a large image from what happening in this volumes. A mixed, remixed image
But here we also have the Ginga Nagareboshi Gin studio sheets, sketches.
Here you see ; Ben, Cross, Smith , Akame, Moss, and the Kai brothers
And the adds for the GNG dvd box
I just love the image on Cross and Kai brothers
So we are at volume four now . Let see the is 388 page here.
The story continue from previous volume ; Kurotora & Chutora both captive by a other wild dog
And Akatora's saver, Musashi decide to help Gin and the others.
The Manga ends with ; A dog named Terri show himself for Ben, Moss and the others who are captive in Mutsu.
But here are a surprise in the manga, as a bonus ; )
There are images, photos from the Tracon VI , In Finland last year (2011)
As you can see there are interviews. And also photos
You can see "Mooni " with her Fuji cosplay suit . And you can see some people from Hopeanuoli musikaali (GNG Musical ).
The volume have 240 pages and I really like this cover mix. It look really nice with the colors
We continue the adventure with Gin and the other traveling from Shikoku and are headed to Mutsu.
There Moss, Ben and the others are captive. The volume ends with the start of the bear battle. Gin is trying rescue the wounded Smith from the bear attack. At same the the platoons are fight the other bear's.
In the end of the middle of the manga you can see GNG studio sheets, sketches ; Akakabuto.
The big bloodthirsty , insane villain of Ginga Nagareboshi Gin story ^^
Mr Akakabuto still scares me, but at the same time I can't help to at list admire, respect him.
I men Akakabuto are insanse, bloodthirsty, but also clever, smart to build up a fortress and turn other bears. Even rival he turn to his soldiers.
That are way cool.
Anyway back to the topic
In the end we see add for the next volumes and so one.
The volume 6
With 420 pages we follow "the battle and war " against Akakabuto and his followers.
Here we meet Gin attacking the bears after rescue Smith for a sure death. The battle goes on in the mountains. In the end of the volume we see the end of the battle . But also we will see familiar faces ; Daisuke,Gohei,Hidetoshi, with some more.
And here we have some Ginga Nagareboshi Gin studio sheets, sketches ; The Bears
Mosa, Madara, "Harpoon Bear". "Mother bear "
In the volume there are like the other manga's adds , but also this add
Yoshihiro Takahashi & Akira Miyashita
So now we head to the last two of the manga's .So please forgive me when I not going to the detail with the wolves war arc. I'm not so focus on the chapters when the wolves show up in the Ginga Nagareboshi Gin series.
But that I can say is : the most extra in the two volumes is the articles with Yoshihiro Takahashi and Akira Miyashita
The images in the start of the manga. Info what happened and who is who in the series.
There are 452 pages.
Here we have Yoshihiro Takahashi and Akira Miyashita , 5 pages.
