Re: New (2023) Gatchaman - Complete Collection Blu-ray set coming!

Hi all,

Now that the new Gatchaman Complete Collection Blu-ray set is available, Amazon has it for an even lower price. It is currently $82.99.

Or if you prefer another retailer, Deep Discount also currently has it for the same $82.99 price.

She had an Emergency! one too :D I didn't track down a Phoenix model until 1993/94. That was the first...

Hi all, I was talking with some friends the other night and the subject of Battle merchandise in America came up. How many of you who grew up in the US or Canada in the late 70s, actually saw Battle merchandise in your areas? What did you see? Were you able to buy it, or convince someone else to buy...
