I asked Mandarake about the Big Web Auction in an email when I was asking about my current auctions, and from what Phil told me it would seem that they will be uploading the thing in the next couple of days. So it looks like we will have to hold out a little longer >_<

On a side question, this is the 6th Big Web Auction right? But the Zenbu catalogue is number 22... so what is in the other Zendbu catalogues, the ones that come out when a Big Web Auction is not around?

Ooh, I'm anxious to see those Eva cels. Not that I can afford any of them

To answer Pomidor's question, the Zenbu has been around longer than the Big Web Auction. Before they started auctioning on the web, each Zenbu had a silent auction associated with it (so you send in your max bid, and pay that if you win). I think that's how it worked--someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm too cheap to buy the Zenbu just to participate, so it's great to finally be able to see the cels in the auction before paying to bid.

Argh...patience is a virtue, and it's obviously something that I lack.

I want to see all of the lovelies... /wah

The EVA cels are GORGEOUS...

But I have a question... the third one ( Rei smiling from the movie) looks a lot like the new reproduction cels made by gainax...so real or fake in your opinion?

BTW too expensive for my wallet

Is it me are do the pictures of the cels look a little small to you? I'm finding it hard to tell what series a particular sell is from due to the size & darkness of the pictures.

Maybe I'm going blind from watching to much anime.

Never Seen the series but what a great cel

I have seen some repro cels VERY VERY similar to that one (that sold for 100,000 yen on Yahoo Japan about 1 year ago too!!). I would be kind of weary to jump on that cel, especially with all the fakes going around. They have messed up before on telling between a repro and real cel, since they are so well made.

On a separate note . . . did anyone see anything tempting? I didn't even see an Inuyasha (probably just skipped over it).
