By random chance (read: boredom) I entered a nondescript all-Asian mall near Berkeley. Then I found a nameless store. And they had this on display:

A giant model of Mazinger Z (a.k.a. Tranzor Z)!

Yes, the giant robot that represents the single greatest creation of Japanese culture at its peak. It sells for $650 USD. No, that’s no typo.

Should I buy, or should I pass?
