First things first...  YO!  Omahanime!  We're going to need a scan... a BIG scan.  $24.99 will get ya the new D&P TCG mega gift pack at Target.  This big huge monster size set has one each of every D&P expansion booster, SIX foil cards (3 are the D&P starters and 3 are trainers) and 3 collectible coins.  WOW.  I guess the other thing I saw pales in comparison, a blister pack with Legends Awakened booster, a POP 2-card booster and a foil Mothim, $4.99 at Target.
 
Now, while we wait and see about Oma's scans, I've got some Japanese book news.  I just found an awesome Shogakukan book made especially for the Shaymin/Giratina movie!  I've enclosed a few pix of the items I'm discussing.  Last year, I also found a similar book, both of these around 85 pages, glossy, full-color, about movie 10.  The Darkrai theme book included information about the prior movies, it was a celebration of 10-!  There was also a complete Pokedex in the back!  Prior to that, I had found a D&P Pokedex.  Ah, Shogakukan, if only we had English versions, these books are just incredible!  The Shaymin movie book is chock full of pictures and information about the new movie, characters, Pokemon, etc.  Even if I had a scanner, I doubt copyright would allow me to showcase the glory; but, I'll give the ISBN #'s in a moment.  The other new item I found was a Coro Coro Dragon Comic with Red's Clefairy on the cover accompanied by Shaymin and Giratina--now that's a recipe for something, if you recall how bawdy the Coro Coro comic can be!  A reader recently indicated she had ordered the Shogakukan titles I'd mentioned in a prior report via Amazon Japan.  I'd love to hear how that worked out and just how bad the shipping costs were...  Here are the ISBN's for those of you who have an importer in mind:  Shaymin movie book--ISBN978-4-09-112348-0; Movie 10 book--ISBN978-4-09-112319-0; D&P Pokedex book--ISBN978-4-09-112303-9; Coro Coro Dragon Comic Pocket Monsters D&P #3--ISBN978-4-09-140660-6.
 
I haven't seen any restocking of Jakks plush in the last few weeks, which is disappointing for those wanting the newest wave of toys.  I'll keep my eyes open.  Store shelves have been reset, but, items are slow coming although figures seem to be coming quicker than plush.  And if you pick up the newest Beckett's 'zine, you can see a pic of some Japanese Pokemon gum that comes with a 3D punch out figure--I actually found the gum in my area about a week before the 'zine hit my local newsstand and was happy they had a scan because my camera could never have captured that detail.  LOL.  :)  I've walked by the Dialga/Palkia DS bundle repeatedly, drooling, and stopped myself from the temptation as I really need to save for a *real* PC.  ;)
 
Pika pi!
