Would anyone know of any sources which I could go through in order to track down a UFO machine prize from about 2 years ago? Specifically, this- http://sssdgundam.fc2web.com/toy_professor.htm

I imagine this is next to impossible to pull off but if anyone can offer any insight it'd be much appreciated.

You can always check J List, or the website of alot of the anime retail stores in the US. I don't know if anyoen would have it or, if so, if they can egt it to Great Britain, but it's worth a shot.

When I'm after rare Japanese collectables (including OOP DVDs), one of the main places I check out is Yahoo Auctions Japan. You can use a third party merchant with offices based in Japan to bid on almost anything you're after. There are a few such companies that can do this, and all of them have their pluses and minuses, so I'd advise doing a bit of Googling before committing to anything.

I can't vouch for his service personally since I've never used it but Tokyo Hunter (http://tokyohunter.blogspot.com/) specializes in this sort of thing.

Thanks, might be worth a look.

Thanks for the other suggestions too guys. Though I've tried Yahoo Japan with no luck :sad:
