Hello Neo,

Just an update to Gundam Breaker http://www.siliconera.com/2012/12/26/gu ... omization/
The sitrep: The article informs that the usable suits sizes are 1/144 1/100 and 1/60, that all of the parts involved in it will be able to be customized, also no using different size parts on suits.
Just thought Soul Bro would enjoy this as much as Tony although I don't see them fighting as much as trying to designing the best combination for battle in both cases.

As always keep up the good work Sincerly,
Captain America

Something I came across, the article is in Japanese; but by way of a reliable translator (hardcore Haruhi/Kyoto Animation Fan Ultimatemegax) plus the use of Google Translate, the article has been verified.

Dollow Article:
"The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" TV series, had sold 80,000 units of DVDs by April 2009. Up until this point, the sales numbers for the series have never be release, it is interesting to note that the show sold very well in 2009. To compare, Sentai Filmworks has said at Otakon 2012, that 3000 units in DVDs is considered a success.

A simple piece of information that I believe was important.

#haruhi 2006 sold 80,000 copies for Bandai in the NA region alone. http://toyokeizai.net/articles/-/11001/?page=3 …

JP article verified by Google Translate (this was used to verify the sales units)

Sentai sales figures quote (By way of live blogging of Sentai's Panel at Otakon 2012)

11:20:06 <bay|Ota|Sentai> Q: Do you guys have any plans to release anything as BD/DVD combo pack?
11:20:12 <bay|Ota|Sentai> Why no OVAs when buy seasons on itunes?
11:20:24 <bay|Ota|Sentai> A; Would depend on the title, would have to ask A-net about that, i don't deal much with itunes
11:20:28 <bay|Ota|Sentai> I'd have to go and ask
11:20:43 <bay|Ota|Sentai> DVD and bluray combo packs, we've looked at it, but it doesn't work out financially
11:20:53 <bay|Ota|Sentai> like right now, bluray is very expensive to press
11:21:07 <bay|Ota|Sentai> anime in it's heyday, it sold really well, 10000 used to be a bad seller
11:21:12 <bay|Ota|Sentai> these days, 3000 it's WOHOOO
11:21:21 <bay|Ota|Sentai> the market for physical dvds has really changed
11:21:24 <bay|Ota|Sentai> so bd is really expensive
11:21:26 <bay|Ota|Sentai> DVD is really cheap
11:21:53 <bay|Ota|Sentai> so how do i release that, press extra bd and put them with dvd, vice versa, how can i afford extra expense? who will buy it?
11:22:00 <bay|Ota|Sentai> people who want to upgrade, will they pay the extra cost of the bluray or balk?
11:22:12 <bay|Ota|Sentai> now there are people who have bluray, and they don't want to pay extra for DVD
11:22:29 <bay|Ota|Sentai> the only market it seems to fufill for me is someone with DVD and bluray, with those in differnt locations
11:22:34 <bay|Ota|Sentai> i can't see it work financially
11:22:44 <bay|Ota|Sentai> and plus, since we're doing complete collections, we got more discs in the pack
11:22:48 <bay|Ota|Sentai> are we going to use stackers?
11:22:56 <bay|Ota|Sentai> so I don't see how we can make it work for us
