Why cant I find a SS cel?!
Hello. Its nice of you to come & read about my predicament. Here?s the deal . I?ve been looking for a Sailor Saturn cel for a VERY, VERY long time now. I know I probably won?t find one that my microscopic budget can afford, but I figured, ?Hey, why not. Maybe someone with one will take pity on me and sell / trade for it.? And so now I?m looking everywhere I can to find one. If someone can do this, or just feel like laughing at me, feel free to reply.
---Oh, and if someone wants to lemme know if they have Super Sailor Moon cels for sale, that would be appreciated too.
Thanks!!!

Sailor Saturn is a very rare character and there aren't that many cels out there of her because of that. However, she does exist! I've seen cels of her on celga. Of course, they were all really expensive too. I think the cheapest one I saw was $800.
Good luck!

I've seen a few really nice ones recently at anime museum, likewise I think they were very expensive. My advise is to try and work out an affordable payment plan with the owner, that means it may be months from the start of payment until you actually get your cel but in some cases it's actually worth the wait. ^__-
All the cels i've seen for sale haven't been of her in her transformed sailor scout form, and it just occured to me that's probably what you meant. My advise: Get a fan cel! At least it can tide you over until your dream Sailor Saturn cel comes along, and it should only run you from $25-$35 for a basic image. You can even get creative with it and get something like an art book image.
There is a currently a cel of Super Sailor Saturn on Yahoo Japan:

It's a very beautiful cel, however, the bidding starts at 400,000 yen, which is about $3500. If you wanted to go for it, you could buy it through Celga (www.celga.com), but at that price, I would recommend the fan cel, because not only do you have to pay for shipping from Japan, but you'll get charged a huge fee from Celga for them bidding on the auction for you.
I also saw a very nice cel of young Hotaru on Usagi's House for $500:

Still not cheap, but much more worth the price, plus there's no extra fees there. (I'd probably get it if I had the money, but I don't.) Hope these help.
