Blimey...... Not sure what to say other than I hope it introduces some people to the hobby (The more the merrier as the old saying goes)

Not sure I'd have the patience to wait 80 odd weeks mind lol

I heard that this is one of the reasons there are few places to find a HSR-8498HB servo... they've been buying the snot out of 'em from Hitec.

It looks like you buy each issue. Here's a quote from one of the sites:

"The first issue will be available from January 9th for 790 Yen, and you’ll be able to build the forearm of the left arm. Every following issue of ROBOZAK will be 1990 Yen. At eighty issues, that brings our grand total to 158,000 Yen, or $1,370 in today’s dollars (not eighty-four weeks from now dollars). An expensive price tag, but doing it on the installment plan like this brings perspective. It’s steep, but you’re paying for the experience as much as you are a kickass robot. Watch the video!"

And you'd think Hitec would step up production of the 8498's to meet demand. Those things cost a pretty penny!

I just bought some of the Japanese magazines - Robocon. They're over 130 pages each, crammed with robots. It's incredible, with all the robot companies selling humanoids. If there's interest, I could report on some of the things in the mags.
