great collection of miniature kabuto

Hello group.
I found a good collectible series of miniature Kabuto(Samurai helmet)
at a supermaket today.It is called "Gekisen"series and sold as a
candy with a prize.It costs 300yen.very reasonable.I got one and was
surprised at its high quality.It has 13 versions including Kato
kiyomasa's model and Kuroda Nagamasa's.Unfortunately it seems only
available in Japan currently.

This page introduces the series.

Konnichiwa,

I know this may be an outlandish request, but I was wondering if anyone who has access to buying those mini kabuto would be willing to buy the whole series for me, and I would pay them back in full. I do not live in Japan, unfortunately, and I have fallen in love with those kabuto. If anyone would be willing to help me out, I would appreciate it very much and be forever in your debt. Thank you for your time.

Compassion go with you,

~Sasaki Kojiro~

Do I get to eat the candy?

If you buy them for me then of course you could have the candy. How much money would it come out to for all 13 of the kabuto? I am kinda tight on money right now, but I really want them.

Hello JJ

Those little kabuto are higly detailed.The quality is beyond that of
prize because they are made by Kaiyodo,known as one of the Japanese
greatest model makers.
One problem is that we can't tell which kabuto is included until we
open the box.So It is a little hard to get a whole series even for
me.I have already doubled some kabuto.It costs $2.5 or so each,but I
will have to spend much more money to complete.

If you really want them,I might be some help.Contact me.

But I can't eat the candies up.LOL

Regards

Shinsei

Ohayo,
I went to take a look at the web site also. Wow those are really nice. They would look great on my self here at home, among my smaller pices. I too would like to buy some if possible. I will pay what they cost and the shipping upfront(via money order), and pay you something for your time and effort. If this can be done please contact me. I would probley buy 10 of them at a time, (don't care if I get doubles) That way it would be cheaper on the shipping and your time. Can we do this?? Thank you
Nagamori
