Oh packet ?!

So here come a small update
I just come home from a small trip and to my surprise I got a packet (from Japan)
I didn't expect this one until next week , at lest . But I'm way happy for this

This were indeed heavy, 11 kg ... That I were dragging around the town to get home
The bad thing is that my scanner don't work as it should and at same time my camera have problems as well.
Well isn't something, it will be something els
Anyway this were what I got today;

• Ginga Nagareboshi Gin Prism Stickers ,

There were 41 stickers with folders/envelopes  and also the Special Prism Sticker holder.
The only one I didn't have are on the sticker holder, the glitter sticker with Smith & Gin running. And I hope for some more for the collection of mine .
Well, well. Other will be happy I guess
The other will be trade, sold with the folders/envelopes.
I will take look at this later

•  Ginga Nagareboshi Gin manga's

I'm not sure what to called the manga's
For (at lest me) this is a reprint/ re-remake of 2004 edition, release this year
I guess you could call it  GNG - 10th anniversary of Shueisha remix. 
Now I have complete set ; vol 1-8
There are interesting facts, Ginga Nagareboshi Gin sheets and other surprise.  Just let me say, that Yoshihiro Takahashi  haven't forgot his fans
I will write more about this, the manga's later later later ;  )

•  Ginga Densetsu Weed manga's

 Some say that this is the 4 th edition of the GDW manga' series.
Others says it Ginga Densetsu Weed special manga
Anyway I got now a full set , vol : 1-8
I had all 6, and were hunting for the other 2 . But I had no luck in the end
So I send the manga's to a dear angel friend in Finland and hope that some of the manga's will be sold at the auction there .
For I got a complete set at the same auction as the Ginga Nagareboshi Gin manga's

• The Japanese anime magazine Animedia

I got full set of the your 1986, issue ; 1-12
There are some small fact, images, info about Ginga Nagareboshi Gin. This were when GNG came out as a anime on tv in Japan.
For me this one were the hard one to get a complete set of.
Just for some issues hard way hard to get your hand on.
So this hunt have taken me years to collect. And yes i will write about the magazines as well . When I got time ^^
The one thing about the magazine is that they, many of them were in so good condition. Some even have sticker and other anime images , extra book inside. I did a sweet deal and a great bargain this time

• VHS  " The Theme song collection of Tv Heroes "

This one are from the year of 1994.
Here are also Ginga Nagareboshi Gin  anime theme on the vhs.

When we talk about Ginga Nagareboshi Gin now
I most tell you I finally got the: 

• Ginga Nagareboshi Gin poster !!!

When the Ginga Nagareboshi Gin Dvd box came out in Japan , there were some add posters for the dvd. And yes they are hard to come by now.
Oh my.. this one ,
I don't need to tell you that I have hunt for the poster a long time now. 
And i were more or less dancing when I saw the sweet poster 

I will drooling for when I frame it and hang on the wall in the apartment .
One of my pride thing in my collection  now  ^^
Also there were some things in the packet, but some were birthday present for friends and other smaller things . Non Ginga things in other words

I have some thing still in Japan , that will come to me .
Still I love to take a moment to just smile of the  great bargains I got over the time
Hm at same time I need to start planning for the many project I have for the blog.
To many thing you want to do at the same time, but the problem is just the time.

The Prism Stickers

So I were thinking to write, talk about Ginga Nagareboshi Gin merchandise

The Prism Stickers

Not so many talk about this sticker. What I have seen or heard
Perhaps they are unknown or not so popular   as other merchandise of Ginga.
But I like them much.
I think that they first sticker ,cards i got in my collection ,were just prism stickers really.
They are a bit hard to find now days.
The sticker have anime images of the characters.
Sadly there isn't any real source out that can show or tell about the Prims stickers

I'm myself have now  56 prism stickers and 52 folders.I also got special prims holder.
To be particular 31 with Color background:, 15 with Yellow background  and  10 with more Glitter prims background.The more colorful background's cards , can have sometime have a sort of frame.
So i guess that some can say that seem to be a four sticker , by the look.

Let's see on the image's
Here you see for example  Gin and Riki  with three different background and cards

Sorry for the light, I try to scan this and the glittery is hard to get without getting blaze looking light on the sticker.

The more Glittery Prims   (I have no name so I stick with that) is the more hard one to get of all three.
And the more clean, new looking of the three.
Your see the more yellow colored sticker .
And the more colorful background. 

The sticker size:  6 cm x 6cm

The back on the stickers you see the different colors.
The white are from the more glittery stickers.  

As you see there are Japanese text on all the sticker.
On the front and back

You can see the copyright on the back on the stickers and the folders
© 高橋よしひろ / 集英社・テレビ朝日・東映動画

What I can translate is :
Yoshihiro Takahashi / Shueisha ・TV Asahi ・ Toei Animation

As you know is that Yoshihiro Takahashi is the creator of the series.
Shueisha Inc is a major publisher in Japan.
They have give out many of the Ginga Nagareboshi Gin manga and still do.

Toei Animation Co., Ltd. As people probably know  is a Japanese anime that have made many anime serie and movies. It's own by Toei Co.Ltd
And Tv Asahi  ,TV Asahi Corporation is a Japanese television network.
You know  that Tv Asahi broadcast Ginga Nagareboshi Gin in Japanese TV:e in  the year  1986 : From  the date 7/4, until 22/9.


So that make things clear that  this were after the series were send on TV.
So perhaps 1986 or 1987 ?
I can't see date yet.

Let's see the folders & prims holder

The folder is the same as for the "Special stickers" (26 stickers & folders).

The copyright as the same as for the prism stickers on the back. But there is a stamp, sign that I can't translate. Perhaps a mark, sign for the company that produce/create the stickers.
Folder size; 13,5 cm x 8,5 cm   






I have got two of the prims holder.

The front and the back
Each holder had 30 stickers with folders.
And there is a mix with the sticker, so you never know with sticker you are getting.As well as the different color backgrounds.
But one thing is that at the back , there is a glittery sticker tape/glue. Well at lest mostly of the times

Size:From the front to the back the holder is 26,5 cm x 9 cm
The Front size 11,5 cm x 9 cm
The back size 14 cm x 9 cm


I didn't find other photo and my camera are a bit weird now days.

So I add a old photo on my collection of the prims stickers.

Some rumor's says the prims stickers are max 30 stickers. But that not true at all.
Like I said before I have 56 stickers and  wonder if there are 60 or even more.
With out any source, info there is hard to know for sure.
Right know we can only guess


 But, but I have a theory ^^
If trading cards & collector's sticker are 60 card of each set so why couldn't the prims sticker be at the same number ?
That could be a even,equally number , right
With 60 I mean  


That make you wonder how many there is when it comes to the Ginga Nagareboshi Gin menko cards and the magnet's.

I like the prims sticker more then the other stickers and  collection cards.
Not only the look more beautiful, a special with the color frame that the color background sticker has.
And the character are more in the center at the prism stickers. Then the others stickers, cards and so one .
Well at lest in my mind at lest : )
And they feel more retro style with prims stickers
