New dvd release : Silver Fang

Hi, There have been a time since I last post.
I guess sometime you turn really busy and forget things.
But I guess the passion to blog were a bit lost in the spring, so sometime you need to take a break .
Just to find the way one more.

I have now 19 post in draft and I need to finish some soon.
So I have something to do, indeed

But let go to some news

What happened if you mix some edition of the Silver Fangs dvds?
Like the release of 2008 and the release of 2011 ?

Let's take a look

The release of 2008

The release of 2011

Different covers and layout indeed. Both have the dub and the cut version.

I like the purple version,just the color and layout . Or more the different layout and covers.
On the release of 2008  the dog jumping out on the cover seems to lost their tail and it's a bit a mess.
Just if you compare of the quality of the covers.

So today, the big news, that make me so happy is;
I got the newest dvd release 

Image from the store Ginza.se

I got a bit surprise  when I found this one in a store.
For me that are a bit nerd and like to collect the different editions release

 

I just  on the new edition , there are some darker purple color , then the early release.
But other then the inside on the new dvd is mostly the same, as the dvd release of 2011

Inside the dvd release of 2011

The new release of 2015

 If we could take away the text on the cover , like ;
" Hela Svenska serien" 
Meaning "The entire Swedish Series"
That will be better, since  there are already that say that this dvd have Swedish dub.
But also the dvd have also Finnish and Hungarian dubs aswell.
But well sometime or often the Swedish release have extra text, that telling this is the dub version 


Right, if you take a look at the cover, you see that  the image of Akakabuto with "jumping flying dogs ", from the uncut Swedish version of 2015
You can see the image here

 A other thing I notes were that face that some dog have lost there tails
I know that Kurotora have been missing his tail since the third vhs release (with mean a time back, somewhere in the 90's) . At lest Kurotora got his tail back in, if you look at the back cover on the 2011 release.
But now have Cross lost her tail and please don't get me started on Riki
Or Smith     >_>
Take a look at Akakabuto's claw, frame. It seem like that clip and past , and not work on that one.
It just feel a bit amateur to clip in dogs , bear on the cover and not do a better work.

You can indeed read more at the early blog about  Silver Fang Dvd's
If you cant more details and images , a taste of Silver Fang dvds history 

Bonus Image;
"Mr drool a lot", know as Akakabuto

The Dvd edition, release of 2008, 2015, 2011

I have just update the history list of :  Silver Fang Dvd's 


Updated 27/8- 2015

Gin Badge

Yes I'm alive ^^
But sadly never got the time around to blog
Well a bit until now.

I have seen this Gin badge few time but never got around to be in a bid-war,or hunt for at lest one.
So far I have seen four different badge of Gin.
Like these four;

Just the sleeping Gin is just adorable and so cute.
I really like this one of the four one.
It's to bad  the items seem to be hard to find. And to often (that I have heard & a part seen) becomes expensive.But now days I think many ginga merchandise have more and more expensive.
On the other hand; hard to get or rare merchandise will be wanted and so people seem to be willing to pay the price.

So back to the Gin badges.
I really like the older merchandise, and I hope to there can be some like this four in the future.
Perhaps re- make or something like that.
I love to use a badge with Ginga like those ones.

The other three are so cute aswell

The badge came in 1986 , when Ginga Nagareboshi Gin became an anime series 
"TV Asahi Ⓒ Yoshihiro Shueisha Toei Animation Takahashi"
You can read the text at the back on the badges.


The Image/Photo are borrow from Chinglebell blog

Update on the Silver Fang DVD

So in short I just added some new information on the new dvd version ;
"Ginga Nagareboshi Gin: Silver Fang  Special Edition "

Read more on the early post; Silver Fang DVD's

So Now I have the three different version of Silver Fang, Ginga Nagareboshi Gin boxes

But even so there are some small things that annoy me.
First one is , well
Take a look your self

Can you see anything odd or wrong here ?
Like Gins image and  big paws .. it's just wrong

I miss Gin vs Benizakura image
It' were more powerful image of the series 

True the image with Gin, the Pack running, as this one are lovely

But well, if they needed to do the new version
Why not do some newer box with images from the anime

Update; More mangas ; )

I need to do small update, what I have or got recently.
The most of all I recently got is the Finnish translate manga's of Yoshihiro Takahashi.

Truly I glad and very happy that there goes so well in Finland with the translator and publishing.
Now I just need to learn Finnish and Japanese to really read the manga's :  )  

So now the large collection with the manga's, books with Takahashi work need more room. I have bookshelf but when the collection grown large you need to plan out how to do with the space.
As a bookworm that I'm are, I love bookcases.

 So since November I got some more manga's and await for some more manga, item's to arrive.
The time have changes and some items are more expensive now then before. That way I have taken a bit of break off to collect more ginga items. But also I have become a cat owner.
So I need to balance the money, savings. So you really can take care about your dear pets and yourself. The collecting will not be so important, as before.
As I always say to other collectors.
You need to really think before running in the circle and try to collect ginga items.
Collect for yourself not to impress others.
For if your do this to impress that can be expensive experience. Just some wise words , on your the way of life


Mine collection is very dear to me and I just love books. As the childhood heroes of  Silver Fang/ Ginga Nagareboshi Gin. As well are Yoshihiro Takahashi.

So here we will see what new for me  ;

I got the Finnish edition mangas: Ginga Nagareboshi Gin; Sankaritarinoita, Vol 1-2
Know as; Ginga Nagareboshi Gin Shin Gaiden or GNG Hero Stories
And ; Ginga Densetsu Weed: Weed Gaiden: Soturien tie  ( Road Warrior)

Finnish edition of Ginga Nagareboshi Gin: Meteor Gin

I got the second and third print and I hope to get number one, one day.  

Weed - Taisteluiden Aika ( Weed - Time Battles/ Battles Times)
I think the color of the manga are strong, a different color and chose I guess.
But it work with yellow 

Ginga Densetsu Weed Gengashuu / Original Collection
Know as well as : Ginga Densetsu Weed Artbook or Original illustrations collection 
I got two as you see, both with a poster (like the Japanese edition)  

 Fang, vol 1-2
I think Fang is on the third or fourth place of mine favorite of the dog/Canidae story's of Yoshihiro Takahashi.

I were a bit surprise that Fang were being translate, surprise but happy. 

Most of the popular manga's of Takahashi is the Ginga relate.

Ginga Densetsu Akame

I have manga vol 1 and two of the Japanese magazine Weekly Manga Goraku,with the start of the series.
But I have at lest two in store in Japan.
The first part of Akame  and a other with I can't remember the number. But both have Akame on the cover at lest. They will come to me soon

The series is still new and fresh so that make it still a bit hard to say what I think about the series.
But I have always like Iga and Koga/ Kōga story in the Ginga Nagareboshi Gin anime and manga.
So this will be a deeper look on the history with the clans and of course Akame's past.
My favorite have been The Kōga clan and I don't know what I really think of the small spotlight the clan have in Ginga Densetsu Weed series. I think the Kōga clan were stronger in
Ginga Nagareboshi Gin series.
But we will see, Densetsu Akame have just started (more or less).



So that were a small update on mine collection

So Let's play some music

 So what do you do when you are making some of the inventory of the ginga collections ?
Well at lest I listen to music
You can say some fever of Ginga or most of all Ginga Nagareboshi Gin themes covers

So first and always there is ; Takayuki Miyauchi

 Forever and ever dear Takayuki Miyauchi made Ginga Nagareboshi Gin immortal.
The song is just wonderful.
I can't be to old to listen to his voice  ^^ 

 Anyway I can't help myself to listen on youtube and there are great people that plays ginga music covers.
There are many talented and gifted people out there.
So I decide to show off some of the music covers that I listen to (perhaps to many times) on youtube

 ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣڿڰۣ☸

To you guys that play the song:

You guys are wonderful  ^^

Thank you for sharing

 ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣڿڰۣ☸

 

- The Drum Cover of Ginga Nagareboshi Gin   (Opening)

It's different but I like the "Drum cover" of Ginga Nagareboshi Gin .
I don't think I have heard a drum cover before of GNG, but I like it ^^ 

 - The Main Opening Theme Cover ; Silver Fang (Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin)

 I have always want to learn to play keyboard.
Really nice cover. A bit calmer spirit and speed but lovely ^^


- The Rock Cover of  Ginga Nagareboshi Gin

 A bit of rock and GNG mix great  ^^
Just feel the vibes ... with the rock

I couldn't help myself with two small Bonus

- Tiki-100 TikiTune AY Music Player - With the ;
Ginga Nagareboshi Gin/Silver Fang Opening Theme

Not forget the Finnish band ; Whispered
With their own cover of GINGA NAGAREBOSHI GIN

 ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣڿڰۣ☸

If you want to see and hear more  with fans that plays the cover of ginga, you can always go and look at my early post ; Ginga Fans Music Covers

The different way people with the beloved theme music of  Ginga Nagareboshi Gin it's just wonderful .

❤ Ginga plushies

 Well I adore more the custom-made ginga plushies then the official ones.
In fact I had a time back ; GB,Jerome ,Ken & Kagetora in my collection.
But sadly I had to sell then to order to pay rent of the apartment, bills and other tings.
But at same time that were the time the the Ginga Densetsu Weed plushies weren't so popular and I wasn't so found of the phushies.Well one there is a other matter, the a bit crazy hunt for theDensetsu Weed is a bit surprise for me . But you can't see what the futures could hold or the change of the popularity when it come to merchandises.

So in September I got a Chutora plush on ebay.

Of course it fan-made,custom-made but it would be lovely if there were official plush with Chutora or even the rest of the Kai brothers. You can dream, can't you ? ; )
I guess that Chutora have been a favorite for a long time.
I have really hunt for the Ginga Nagareboshi Gin collection figure, from set two. That took a time and were expensive too. But that could be worse I guess.
I hope to collect the rest of the figures, one day. That's a goal at lest

So over to the plush, is 7 inches tall and for me really nice fan-made plush.

"The plush is hand-sewn with painted markings and glued eyes."

The plush came from United States, so the shipping took a time. But when I got him; I were so happy. Love this one ^^
I hope myself to create custom plush one day aswell. So the pack an grow. 
So now Chutora is at the bookcase with he rest of the ginga collection now.
Parhaps guarding, watching the collection.

 

But this isn't the first fan-made,custom-made plush I got.

A time back I got a small cute and so adorable Mel / Mer , made by Anttu


The dream goal is to maybe create or buy a custom made Sniper, Cross , Fuji, Akakabuto, Pink Dragon, Yamato or Daisuke.
Who know when the plush pack will grow   ;  )
Well there will be a time I can call it a pack, now it's just two. ^^

Rules of Blogging ? Part 1

Just a thought that came up when I writing: Do you have any rules for blogging ?
Sure I turn to other who have blog.
But also what do you , readers think about rules.

So what alright and what aren't ?

If we for expel  look at the rules on ; Blogger Content Policy
Here is the main rule (if you can say that) and guidelines about what you can't write about  and can.

When it come to the Copyright: This is my way of seeing on it.

Fan -blog/unofficial fan blog  or just blog that are made made fans, admirer that don't make any money on their site to make a profit.
And don't clam that the own the writer, author, artist  work or the company ownership on the series, manga, book and so one.

But then again this one are a tricky one , since some company's and dependent on which county's see on the Copyright laws.

When it come to :  Harassment, ,Personal and confidential information and aswell bulling
I'm stepping away from this activity.
For this isn't my purpose when I write or bloging.
I will either not advertising, publicity for people or site, shops that I myself can't recommend.
I know that some people find this one odd, to say at lest.
Since I got some mail about this.
But I don't want or plan to hang out persons or site in public. That are just my thought
Most of the time if people fight, argue or have a dispute that can be bad communication between people. Then that drag in others to choose side .
There is a large drama with harassment and hurtful words and actions.

BUT
I can connect to mine own experience, at here on the blog.
Sure there can be a thin line and how the challenge balance things.
But the true this is mine own blog and more personal experience.
It's the story how a collector came to be and the the long way on the journey.
There true is that I have been there myself , been bullied/ frozen out.
It's Hurtful is when people more want believe rumor and create wrong/mean reputation to a other person.
Especially when "there are always two side of the coin ".
And I guess it more easy to disbelieving a other person if you don't know everything or anything of the other person.
The reputation it's self can crush others and the way too. 
But with drama and bulling it's hard to sort out what happened and see if it can be sorted out.
It's way to easy to hurt other people feeling, when you are not : face to face with the others.
Then again there are those people; "who don't care or seems not to see others feeling".
Aswell the future communication.
But aswell that thing to just believe,  swallow what a other or others say.
Without thinking by yourself. Don't listen to others all the time, think for yourself , sometime. It cant hurt ^^

But then again there can be some dishonest people out there, I'm not  naive .
So far I think my territory isn't to  encourage such bad behaver.
The blog and my writing isn't about that.
The main meaning for me is to write to how it is to be a collector, ginga collector.
Tell about the merchandise , mine passion.
Help other to maybe find their own way to be collector or get tip where to find mangas,
merchandise.
Or if there are other that are just interesting of reading about a ginga insane collector  ; ) 

When  I thinking on the "Personal and confidential information"
I don't either write out personal information about others. I mean why shall I do that ?
I guess perhaps I can recommend and help to get in contact with mail, if there are troubel ?
Something like that
But I don't want to just put out things on the blog that are personal .

On the blog there can be  mine own personal , but I will try to balance.
So It way strange when I got mail or comment that are vary persona or the reader thing it something about him/her.
That way I need to inspect and then publish the comment .
Just a safe way for me  to not be attack or get spam on the blog.

---------------------------------------------

I think I split the topic in parts, so there isn't too long to read
And for me to keep a track more easy

So the end of part 1 ; Rules of Blogging ?

Rumors,Harassment and Bullying

 !  Warning should be advise !
This is a topic about sensitive subject and can contain thought, experience and ideas, that others can find offend .
Perhaps even images can look provoking or violent ?
If you are sensitive for this you should walk away form this blog topic about;  bullying, harassment, rumors and so one 


This is mine thought , ideas , experience.
As the always in in this blog.
But just in case I had to put a waring.

Thank you for the attention

--------------------------------------

This is a hard subject to take up, really.
But I think necessary to speak about.
Yes it's about indeed the : Rumors, harassment and bullying

I know that similar and ideas, subject haven been take up on other blog
Like : Elitismi Ginga-piireissä : Elitism Ginga circles  by Urumi
And : Gingafandomin  By Satanica

How can there be differences fans and so called elit fans ?
Why do fans act up on each other ?
The silence about the subject ?

But also Anttu have take up though and the approach. Ovatko suomalaisfanit kiittämättömiä?/ Are the Finnish fans ungrateful?Myself mention about the subject time ago.
Hey  & Here comes updates and some plans

The thought I have been wondering (for a time), if WE fans can sound or act ungrateful ?
Especially where you see sometime on the board, forum how some people can throw out their frustrate or idea's how a artist, author shall write or for that mater paint.

Don't get me wrong here, sure others can have opinion, view and be critical.
There are their right of view.
But yet, is there really a point to smash a artist / author on forum.And list the bad things with the story's, manga's , art he have has done over the many years? 

"Nothing good comes from hiding in the Shadows. But you will be surprised what can happen if someone dare speak or ask question.
That few seems to dare ask. But either where few dare to take a stand.  

Weed seem to be topic to like or to dislike.
For some more hate subject.
Often Weed Anime vs Weed  manga topic ?

To talk about certain topics may make it more opened, more  maybe even friendlier environment for the fan community.

I guess one of the many things make the fandom community, bad environment.
Not just the smashing of Yoshihiro Takahashi and his many work.
But the nagging , dragging out allt the bad with the series and the character/characters.
How it should be, shall be, or even how realistic some things is or aren't .
And if other/others have an idea or want to discuss something.
Sometime that can turn out to a argue.
And then something can badly lead to other things, like this subject here on the blog.
The rumors,harassment and bullying.

 
When the subject on bullying and harassment the community of fandom ,(as ginga) , mine
opinion and the experience that kind of thing are ; silencing down.
Like the quiet will eat up the bad tings happing.

Or just this subject that happens around the forum, board weren't serious


Sure there are many thing all over the Internet and the community of different fandoms that have problem with just harassment, bulling and for sure rumors.
I think the atmosphere are harder since seven.,eight years back. Just to take a example.
Well aswell the atmosphere and what other allow at community.

With community I think on Forum,Board, Message board, if you wonder 

Ginga Nagareboshi Gin Doujinshi  Michin.
Beautiful fan manga

There are really great, talent fans out there. There is different way to express as art, writing or just be social with other fans. There are a good,great side of the fan community.
To bad ther are oftan or time to time shadow by the bad side. 


When that come to some forums, boards there have been talking about the elite, the veteran.
Who is the true fan and so one. Like there are a competition.

A long time ago ( I feeling to old)  there were some fans that thought they were better then others.
Just for they discover Ginga elderly then then others.
It's same with a music group I like, I were late to discover the group (according to some others at the board) and there for not a pure fan .....
What ?
Come one, that sound so childish
Or that I hadn't all the Cd that the music group released, not been around on the concern , or had the items that you could buy or could. 

O_o  The words are  lost when you heard , seen this in text at the current forum,board
And the admin didn't do noting or little at all.
This meant that the bad fandom for the board got a bad rumors.
Bullying, even harassment , the admins, mods favored some people/users
With this you get is bad for any board, forum.
And people left ... the only left for a time were the so called elite.

That were a long time ago and one of mine bad experience.
What can happed if the  Rumors,Harassment and Bullying rules.

I really hope that non any fan board, forum or fan community see it like that.
There wrong to put fans and others fans in different category. 

Friendly, and opened minded are great condition for a community. As well as tho have a more respectful or friendly  way when it come to discuss.
Don't take your bad mood on others.
And the rumor thing , I'm so sure there are other things to talk about , gossip aren't to any good thing really.  
Why there are drama or fight needed on some places I don't really understand .  

It's Hurtful is when people more want believe rumor  and create wrong/mean reputation to a other person.
Especially when "there are always two side of the coin ".
And I guess it more easy to disbelieving a other person if you don't know everything or anything of the other person.
The reputation it's self can crush others and the way too. 
But with drama and bulling it's hard to sort out what happened and see if it can be sorted out.
It's way to easy to hurt other people feeling, when you are not : face to face with the others.
Then again there are those people; "who don't care or seems not to see others feeling".
Aswell the future communication.

But some perhaps just believe,  swallow what a other or others say.
Without thinking by yourself. 
So ; Don't listen to others all the time, think for yourself , sometime.
It can't hurt, so bad. Can it? 

“Strength lies in differences, not only in similarities”

There are also talk or rumors that if you are a ginga fan you mot have items,merchandise.
Or if that are believes ? 
It's sad when I hear people who can't afford merchandise or have bought to much items that they are broke.
Sure it's great to have some merchandise .
But to what price ?
The first thing you need to know that things can't buy happens.
Sure you are the one to talk,you have large collection.
So many times I heard this before , over and over.
To tell the true, I have work for this.
Even it' seems that some can't believe it.

But at the bad side, negative side so to speak to be a collector can have it's one addiction. And the can be a evil spiral. For some can fallen in to identify themselves with the items, the collection. Like a obsession that can take over.
I know this for sure, for I have been there myself.
The obsession to find merchandise, compare with others or just seem to compete.
Sure you can do that, compare but in a healthy way.
Ask yourself do I really need this ? Will this make me feel alright?

Sometime I have meet people who thinks that to be a fan you most have ginga
merchandise. That is't ture.
If you are a fan to
Yoshihiro Takahashi or any of his series with ginga. You are a fan, admire .
It's simply as that. 

I'm not just a Ginga fan or fan to Yoshihiro Takahashi.
Just so you know : I'm insane collector too    ;  )  
I don't belong to any category or some veteran group.
The only thin is that I perhaps belong to a generation that were lucky to grow up with  Silver Fang / Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin when it came out on vhs tape (rent vhs tape) , Outside Japan.
That is the only thing I can think of if you most put me in a box ? or in a category.
And yes perhaps I'm older then others.
 
Not I don't think fandom of Ginga have any line how old you shall be or how long you have been a fan.
That just silly, really.


But aswell there can be a differences with discuss and perhaps argue.
It's so easy to criticize, judge and misunderstand others.
Therefore this is so important to take up , talk about. 
And perhaps find a ground to make a different, together. 

Sure in some or many community the atmosphere can be good, but also bad.
And in some cases really bad.

That is why I left many forums, board . 
Especially some owners, admin, mod don't want to know about things that connect to bullying, harassment
Even worse if you are ignore, or bullied.
That hard to handle or know to handle.  

Sometime the passion and the argue can over the line and when you have the emotions, the temper rinsing even that best (I guess) can do mistakes.
But then what ?
Can this be sorter out or shall the be so often more others that follow and keep on going to offensive and give insult . The respect for others can flow away

Image From; Injured workers support.org.au

Where shall we draw line about harassment and bullying ?
Can we draw a line or even stop rumor spread ?

Do we even want somekind of  protection, security against bulling?

Many times I wonder why or how can some tings be so allowed, permissible at the different community. 

Can it be that people today shall tolerate more ?
And don't take things so serious .
But what happen when a small argument, dispute , there there are people who misunderstanding each other . And we all know that situation like this can grow larger.
So in worse case there are bulling, harassment and rumors flowing around .

Hurtful world, being frozen out, and people making sure that you hear, know that you are not welcome here.  There are other people that ganging up to others  .

All like you were back ( like in my-case) in school.
 
The hardest part. isn't the bulling, the harassment itself.
Not so much like that fact that other know what going on and don't want to be bother about it.
Like teacher.
On site :US : University of Sussex there a great information text about :
FAQ about Harassment and bullying
What is the difference between harassment and bullying?I think this is really interesting to read about and reflect.For on the Internet there are sometime like the wild west.There you can do what ever you want and say what you want. 
Without consequences.



The problem, issue I have been having here on the blog is ; comment , mean , attacking comment . I guess some have some issue and take what I can write/writing personal. 
Or they have a boring day
I have non idea 
But before the comment can be post I need to authorize, approve. Just to avoid that , with seem to be personal insults. And not forgetting spam. 
Sad but the true.

Anyway, back to topic. 
In the Internet world most of the board, forum have Admin , so called; administrator or administration.

 Quote from; Wiktionary: on Admin

Admin (admins) 
A person who has specific controls to a forum/website/etc. that allows them to control the forum/board website/etc.
The admin changed the forum settings to make more users happier.

Most of the community of forum, boards have them and also mod/mods, moderate that shall help to a working nice environment for us users . 
So there can be discussion,conversations with others users.

The problem, issue is that this can be hard to oversee if you are a Admin or Mod.
Especially to not take sides .
There can be times that even the mod or admin jumping in and follow the flow with bulling or harassment. And ho to prove it to the support forum/board is hard.
And I guess some haven't even hard to look at the harassment and bullying like going on at a board, forum.

I just want to say ;
" Just don't
Don't treat people like numbers or things. There are people too
Fans are equal .
Don't put them in a category and don't say some are more valuable then others .
Just don't .......  please"

And Don't follow the others , think for yourself. 
Somethings there is people who need drama, some that need to take out negative from themselves and blame of someone els.
 
As the writer, author George R.R. Martin says in the book ; A Game of Thrones

“Some old wounds never truly heal.
And bleed again at the slightest word.”

For to order to change and stop this bulling, harassment we must admit there is a problem, issues here.
Take a stand against those kind of things . 

Other nice and thoughtful quote by  Mother Teresa
 “I alone cannot change the world,
but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”

My Precious

So I got question about my favourite or beloved ginga merchandise.
Hm it's hard to say when it come to the collection .
If I shall not look at the mangas , books and just the merchandise. 
I shall take just some. otherwise thee will be a long list
Well ; 
Mine autograph of ; Yoshihiro Takahashi
 
 On mine early blog ; Yoshihiro Takahashi in Finland  , You can read more ^^

So others merchandise then .
Hm, let me just focus on my favourite series by Yoshihiro Takahashi
That will be more easy to take one favourite , then the rest of collection.
One ting at the time then
Mine precious is; the Ginga Nagareboshi Gin shoes;


I think I have mention them before on the blog before and show them at my Collection site
I got the shoes around the year 2003, 2004- 2005 ?  if I remember right , at a Swedish auction site called; tradera.com.
The price were 600 kronor, that are in 67 €/ EUR , 92 $ / USD .
At the time that were a large amount, especially when you were a student.
But still a great deal, for I haven't seen any item like those shoes before.
Sure two or three times I have seen Ginga Nagareboshi Gin sandals over the many years as a collector.
But I think both are rare items.
I think I have also wrote about them in a early blog ; Question Time

Other precious item then ?

The  Silver Fang vhs tapes.

By the way Silver Fang were the Swedish and other country's translate of  Ginga Nagareboshi Gin anime.
I got the first edition for the vhs tape. At that tame there were in video stores you could rent them.
Not until much later you could buy them.
I got vol two and four from the video store I first discover Silver Fang.
The vol three I got on auction site , tradera.com.
And that took a time before I got hold on vol one. Also on the same auction site
I remember that were a bid fight, but in the end I won .
