~120 Pages of KNT Production Drawings

[felineki]

Okay, this just showed up on Yahoo Japan Auctions. Abput 120 pages of KNT model sheets. The price is high, though. 80,000 yen, or about $740 US.

I wish I had the money. I'd buy it and scan them all.

HOLY ****

$740 is like £370 ... i could buy that o.o, with my EMA money

I take it they only take yen instead of American money?

[felineki]

I'm not sure, but the bigger issue is that they won't ship outside Japan. However, you could bid through a proxy service that will send you the item afterward for an additional fee.

[B.J.]

May I ask, how do you do that?

[felineki]

There are several companies on the web devoted specifically to such things. Rinkya, Celga, Shopping Mall Japan to name just a few. You sign up for an account with them, then you can bid on auctions through their website. If you win, they'll send you the item. You'll end up paying a bit extra because you pay for shipping twice (from the seller to the proxy, then from the proxy to you), as well as a service fee for the proxy's work.

I've used Shopping Mall Japan a couple times, and overall it's worked quite well. There might be differences in the specifics between the various companies, but at SMJ at least, you have to give them a deposit which you use for bidding. If they don't get your deposit in time, you can't bid (which I found out the hard way on a big auction of about a dozen or so KNT doujins about a year or so ago ).

Seems the seller has now decided to include a bonus with this auction. Whoever wins will also get 40 pages of Arslan Senki production drawings.

I have a set of these already.  Not sure if there are 120 pages in mine, but I do have a real studio used set of model sheets in my collection.  Most of the good ones have already been scanned and put online.

I'd rather have a lower price for the actual KNT drawings than pay that much and get stuck with something I have no interest in. I don't know what these sellers are thinking half the time. It's like the ones who've listed the entire set of tapes for an insane amount of money. I used to shell out lots of cash for KNT merchandise, but I've got my limits too.

[felineki]

Well some of these sellers do a LOT of auctions, and in order to save time and effort, I suppose they combine things when possible. The more individual auctions they start, the more transactions they have to handle, the more shipments they have to make, etc.

[O__O]

I might know where some of those are online if anyone is interested >_> (also im new, so if its against the rules to post it, let me know XD)

[felineki]

I think I have all the ones that are already online, but it wouldn't hurt to show anyone else who might be interested. A lot of them were originally scanned by Violet and posted on her Samurai Saving Time page.

Yes, posting ANYTHING regarding KNT or it's artform is completely against the rules! We're gonna string ya up by your thumbs..!

Naw, go ahead, post 'em, the more the better

If the link doesnt take you to them go to Main Category > Mixed Anime and Model Sheets > Session 001 > page 98

[felineki]

Those all seem to be the ones from Samurai Saving Time. There are a few more available here.

Looks like the seller just brought the price down a little... 70,000 yen instead of 80,000.

This link is amazing!! Thanks for sharing it.

This set is still available, and apparently the price has been dropped another 20,000 yen: It's now going for 50,000.

That's got some nice stuff. You get a decent full body reference for The Pointless Sisters in their cute/sexy attire! As well as that "Wet and Wild Weekend" Collection of the Good Guys in the robes. Incidentally, it also has some pieces from Digimon Season 1, with Sora and Mimi in their underwear.

Price on this has dropped yet again. Minimum bid is now 30,000 yen. Even though that's still expensive, it's less than half of what it started at.

Price has dropped again: now 20,000 yen.
