Hobby Links Japan...your source for Garage kits, 
models, and othe rlimited edition items. Goemon 
was part of garage run...(no, he's not a resin 
model...garage kit is a term used for 
availability and not for type of item, generally 
^^ They just happen to tend to be models more 
often than not)

Garage kits (Kotobukiya, Wave, Volks, Max 
Factory, B-Club, etc.):
Most garage kits are like flowers -- beautiful 
for a moment, but then gone forever. These firms 
hold some stock of their own, but it is often of 
the less-popular items. Shipments of popular kits 
are often pre-sold completely even before they 
leave the manufacturer. Most kits only have 
production runs of 500-1,000 pieces to begin 
with. In addition, these companies are usually 
too busy producing new items to do another 
production run of older items. Garage kits more 
than 18 months past initial release are almost 
always impossible to find. If you're serious 
about Japanese garage kit modeling, you should 
get Hobby Japan as soon as possible after 
publishing in addition to watching our pages 
regularly.

Goemon was a Medicom doll. They still have him at 
HLJ, HOWEVER, note that this does not mean they 
actually HAVE HIM in stock. It means, the last 
time they had to find the doll for someone, it 
was available...it is quite possible I was the 
last person to purchase the doll ^^;; Their 
process is that you order, and then they go 
around and look for it for you. If they can't 
find it, it's pronounced no longer available. So, 
basically, they only update when they have to, 
and you have to wait -forever- for him to arrive. 
I got my guy six months after the fact ^^;; But 
he was worth it :D
