Description

Extremely RARE and very scarcely distributed Godzilla King of the Monsters SLIDE PUZZLE from TRENDMASTERS back in 1994!! I cannot describe just how RARE this is, but I will try, as I seem to have helped start the mystery that surrounds these SLIDE PUZZLES that most fans of TRENDMASTERS have no idea even exist?! I purchased a set of 5 of this Slize Puzzles in Europe back around 2010 for $100.00 without knowing much about them... There is a total of 6 different versions, with the MechaGodzilla version still to this day, never to have been seen apparently?? If you check photo # 11 (3rd from last), that is my scan of the 1995 TRENDMASTERS Toy Fair Dealer Catalog, that shows the complete set of 6 of these puzzles there. This photo is strickly for reference only and NOT included here. As you can see, these were called 'Impulse Merchandise' and included a few other novelty Godzilla items. But these Slide Puzzles were some of the very FIRST Godzilla product ever created by TRENDMASTERS shortly after they got the Master License in 1993. And distribution of these seems to have been very limited, making them literally IMPOSSIBLE to find today!! This is the REAL DEAL and NOT A CUSTOM with NO 3D Printing Here. Completely legit!! After I purchased them, I sold the set of 5 of these (see last photo) for $275.00 back in 2014 if I am not mistaken?? From there, they were then sold again for $1000.00 and then sold again for more then that. And just recently, I was informed this set sold again, for SEVERAL thousands of dollars, as they are THAT RARE!! While mine listed here, is loose and without the package (but in excellent clean condition with vibrant colors), it is a pretty safe bet to say you will not come across this item again?!?! So IF you are a true Hardcore Godzilla Collector of TRENDMASTERS, THIS is definitely one for you to own!! Condition is *USED*. But in very excellent nice & clean condition. Please see the 13 photos for the condition etc... The very last photo shows all 5 of these as I had purchased them back then. They are NOT included and just there for reference sake again. Any questions, please ask before bidding. This is a RARE opportunity for someone, seeing that these figures do have a growing Fan Base for the Impulse Merchandise that seems to have been lost to time. *SOLD AS IS*. Shipping will be $35.00 to Canada and the USA with tracking and insurance. I DO NOT SHIP TO P.O. BOXES. You also MUST HAVE FEEDBACK to bid. Payment is due immediately with auction end.
