Coz i don't read SL anyway, LOL.

No really, coz most of the info that I'm interested in comes from you n' Emerje and Chris and Sean etc etc outside of teh actual SL reports, eg, links, your early SL "previews" for us, etc. Plus semi-regular browsings of Jap mags and such. So it's no big loss personally.

I can tell you, tho, that a lot more pple read SL than you'd imagine. I know a few locals here who do browse it and send links of it around the www. You're right when you say the 'net is too full of sites focusing on roots and sentai as THE Japanese toy, when there's so much more to cover. Unfortunately, a lot of the ones we're interested in (ie, Anime based ones) need familiarity with the source material, and let's face it, RTM's buzz consists of 97% of the wrong crowd. It's like when MM posted about the new One Piece figures the other day and all the replies had to do with SIC/SOC stuff.

You're right about time too. If I had my way, SL would cover a lot more than it has, focusing on Kubricks/Be@rbricks, anime, gashapon, plush and every other frinky dinky genre of toys Japan has. But I know I'll never bother with the time and dedication it'll require, so I don't think you can be blamed for thinking the same. There's too much to cover, and a one-man-army isn't enough. Look how many pple run TBDX, or SSG/Rebelscum.

You had a good run, and that is a good thing to be credited for, man. have fun in Tijuana, and good luck to your mom.
