I think it's easier to keep up to date with one thread too.  I do notice we discuss related topics like hobby collecting habits of Japanese versus international, and I also participate in these discussions:)  but we could limit the discussion to actual product announcements and release dates and order frenzied and shipping issues for this thread.   We can start a thread for the other parts like fantasy additions to the hmr line.  I admit though that I like reading all the posts.
