It seems that one of the eBay stores that sells Pizza Cats cels has put up several new ones for sale, many of which are rather nice. Here are a few that I think stand out:

Waitress Ninja Crow from "Quake, Rattle & Roll". They always cracked me up. (http://cgi.ebay.com/Samurai-Pizza-Cats-Waitress-Anime-Cel-Animation_W0QQitemZ120045421471QQihZ002QQcategoryZ1532QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

There are several others as well, check this link (http://search.stores.ebay.com/pizza-cat_W0QQfromZR40QQsbrexpZWD1SQQsifZ1QQsofpZ4QQssPageNameZWD1S) to see the rest.

Four or five of those are from "Princess Vi's Hippy Dippy Mom" & "Quake, Rattle and Roll," two episodes I liked(LMAO Quake, R&R) but had rather sub-par animators. =` The cels are better than the episodes themselves.

Hey, I like the Speedy/Lucille cel. Haven't noticed it before, but now I'm starting to like it very much...  :speedy:  :lucille:

Heh heh. I noticed in one of the Speedy/Guido cels, Guido is missing his muzzle (due to the animators saving time to make his muzzle on a seperate cel).

This week, I bought some cells from ebay :) I got one of a sobbing Lucille, and today one of Speedy eating flowers from Quake Rattle & Roll. Much to my suprise, the person I got it from, also sent a bonus cell of the Catatonic  :D

Ooh, very nice to see a back view of the Catatonic. The cels are a great complement to the model sheets since they give an accurate view of the characters' colors (screenshots tend to be washed out or tinted). Congrats on your new purchases.  ;) Do you have a picture of the Lucille cel? I don't recall seeing that one.

Just scanned it now. :)

Trying to remember which episode its from   :-\ I think its 'Big Cheese High Definition TV', though I could be wrong.

Nice Catatonic cell, I'm still wating for the Catatonic toy to show up on ebay. 

You are referring to the European relabeled Catatonic, correct?
To get the original version you might have to try a deputy bidder and Yahoo Japan Auctions. Someday I should start my own service specifically for SPC fans. :)

Yes, that's what I'm looking for. 

I try and avoid foreign auctions because there are so many hassles associated with shipping, communication, and payment.  It would be great if there was such a service, but in the meantime I'm not going to hire a translator, drive to western union and get my curreny converted, and then pay an exorbitant amont of cash for shippping and shipping insurance, all for the Catatonic.   =]

I browse Yahoo Japan auctions fairly often for KNT stuff, (I used one of the deputy services adam808 mentioned to get my copy of the Anniversary Memorial doujin), and it seems that even in Japan, the Catatonic model is fairly rare. I see the Rescue Team box set (which was supposedly quite rare) up for auction more often than I see the Catatonic.

There actually is one up now, and it's past 6700 yen. :O

As a one-time user of one of those deputy services, I have to say my experience went pretty smoothly. The extra cost was pretty much the worst of it, there wasn't much other hassle. Setting up the initial account was the remainder of the work.

It really would be cool if there was a special service for SPC/KNT fans though, I'd certainly use it. ;)

The deputy service does most of that work for you. It seems scary at first but later you get really used to it. I sent an email placing the bid and then sent a paypal payment of half my max bid. If I lost they would either hold it in my account with them or send it back to me if I asked. If I won I would have to pay the rest of what the shipping invoice listed. Then when I had enough items I told them to ship it as a bundle.
