You said it, Thunderbreak, it was the first ever movie I watched in the big screen waaay back in 1978.

But at that price, I think I'll just settle for memories :o

Aside from the size, I wonder how much of a difference this is compared to the SOP yamato. Well as far as the show goes, I find it so damn boring....after watching it again last year. I dunno, it seems better when I watch it around 12 years old...but now that I'm old, the series is just so...slow. hehe! I still prefer watching captain Harlock and the other inter-connecting series like emeraldas and galaxy express.
