Time for the first batch of Chibi coins for June and perennial Star Wars favourite Obi Wan Kenobi undoubtedly takes pride of place. The Star Wars sub-series has easily been the best selling to date, so its no surprise to find out this one is already pretty unobtainable. If you can pick one up, its bound to be [...]
The New Zealand Mint are, through US dealer APMEX, today launching their latest Disney themed bullion coin - the 14th to date.

Chibi is back like clockwork with the first pair of May issues now available to pre-order, The first is of little surprise, Gandalf the Grey the latest in the Lord of the Rings sub-set.

The third issue in The Nighmare Before Christmas movie series has been released, and after Jack Skellington and Sally, comes one of the more distinctive characters - Oogie Boogie.
