On the other hand, model kits of characters are never as popular as model kits of mechanicals in the US. You might be able to find a model kit of a character in a comic shop or store that specializes in anime. But you'd never find them in something like Electronics Boutique (which was actually carrying MG Gundam kits several years ago). Mechanical models have much greater market acceptance in the US than any other type of model, which means that shows that don't have mechanicals (including Naruto and FMA) are going to have a harder time gaining market share in this area. And OT - Taiwan? Something going on over there? You're right in that it hasn't been in the news lately. And as far as Google is concerned, I wouldn't trust them any further than I can throw them. I've heard so many complaints about the criteria that they use to select their news sources that I'm surprised one of the big news companies hasn't done a story on it. junior -- _______________________________________________ Search for businesses by name, location, or phone number. -Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10 -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
