Looking to BUY MOONGATE HK089 (1 Viewer)

[Showman]

I am looking for Streets of Hong Kong , MOONGATE , HK089.

Please let me know if anyone has one to sell. Thanks

 

[MarkeytMaker]

I would like to buy HK089 also...maybe there are two available from multiple members?

I recall seeing a post within the past 24 hours, either in the K&C forum or the eBay watch forum, that someone was selling it, or saw it up on eBay. I can't find the post now, but do a search, either here in the forum, or even up on eBay, maybe you'll find someone selling it.

Prost!

Here is a picture of HK089 that we are looking for...of course Greg aka (showman) has asked first. I'm hoping that two people have them for sale so I can buy one also!

I think that the metal gate that was a small quantity.

Metal Gate was very very limited and I forgot to ask Andy about it while in NYC. I am sure there is a story behind it, I just keep forgetting to ask.

This Moongate has been long retired and is seemingly hard to get ahold of now.

The K&C USN/USMC series and Chris's Sand Pebbles gunboats have brought on a flurry of activity for K&C's SOHK and Imperial sets. Many of these items sat idle and now it is common to get out-of-stock messages from the dealers. Andy's announcement of the Chinese Junk and pirates has also stirred up interest in these items. It is definitely a seller's market now.

Don't confuse the (HK089) Moongate with the rare (HK168) Metal Village Gateway!

I know that is exactly what I was saying, I have them both.

I looked up the numbers and yours are right:

89 is the old Polystone set that was modeled after the original Paper Machette version (Just like the CHinese Garden which was released in Polystone too)

168 is the experimental Metal Gateway.

I was pretty sure you knew...though somewhere along the threads it seemed to be confused with the other.

HK168 was done in a very limited release of 64 pieces. It originally came in a
plain brown box as shown below.

It is unique in my opinion because it was done in sheet metal.

It makes a very nice display piece.

How many do you own? It seems there are more of them in the background?

 

[Njja]

I had a couple of them, they disappeared very quickly and I bought one from another collector and then was lucky to find probably the last one from a dealer!

I passed my unboxed one to another collector, and now have the nice boxed one left.

It is a very unusual, and interesting piece.

 

[Showman]

YES, I need the polystone HK89, boxed or no box.

I have The Chinese Metal Gate also...the LE one...

Please someone let me know...

What is an "LE" one? I would guess later edition??? If so what was the differences?

 

[Showman]

the limited edition one, or LE, it's just my stupid abbreviation for the same thing we are talking about HK168...I could not recall the #
