Where to find Yujin crustacean secret figures?

[RyujinGodOfTheSea]

I am looking to complete the Yujin primary color crustacean set. It is a set I've wanted to complete for years, but due to the rarity and price of each figure it has been a challenge. Recently I ordered the mantis shrimp and the bluish red swamp crayfish. However, there are 3 figures I need to complete my collection. I have been fruitless in searching for these, and I would like the assistance of this forum.

Japanese blue crab with eye spots
Swamp crayfish female with eggs
Fan lobster

Any idea of where I could look to find these? I would be much appreciative.

The fan lobster was part of Takara's set when they reissued it. See here: https://animaltoyforum.com/index.php?topic=2132.msg17749#msg17749

The crayfish with eggs and swimmer crab with eyespots were part of a special box set; I have never seen them nor do I have them.

What a shame. I've heard there's also a fiddler crab, which is news to me, is that true?

I think you're referring to the following sets, perhaps these links will be helpful to a degree:

I see two fiddler crabs in the second link.

My God, that is it! Do you know if I can buy them anywhere? I don't care if I have to import it from Japan.

I think the most likely way to find these figures is on Japanese selling sites.  I highly recommend asking @brettnj to help with this, he's really great and has got many Japanese figures I've needed for me.

I will wait for Brett's response.

Hey.

Please PM.

I'll provide my e-mail address and respond with a paste detailing how we work.

(Thanks JA and Sim.)

Thanks.

Just a heads-up when searching for some of the figures (fan lobster, hermit crabs), they are NOT Yujin figures, they are Takara. Takara bought the rights to the set and reissued it with some changes. I explain all this in the link I provided above.
