I know just by reading and commenting on a few threads around here that there is actually a large Godzilla fan-base around this forum, so I thought I would start this thread so we have a centralized location for chatting about Godzilla and other Kaiju.
First of all, I thought I would let you know that I am a big Godzilla fan. I have liked him since I was around 4 years of age, and have enjoyed collecting the DVD sets, vinyl figures, and other misc. collector items.
Godzilla links:
GForever- Project Revival (Great site with some awesome collections of vinyl figures and other collector items)
Club Tokyo (Website full of rare Godzilla figures and other items)
Monsterland Toys (Another excellent site for Kaiju collection)
Monster Zero (Site for Godzilla and other Kaiju news)
If you haven't seen them already, here is a list with pictures of the new Godzilla DVD released by Classic Media:
