Note

"This is a blog about Ginga series (a fan blog, more or less)
But also Yoshihiro Takahashi and his work as ; Ginga Nagareboshi Gin, Yamato, Fang , Giant, Densetsu Weed, Orion, and others.
So the blog is more a way for me to write about my passion, perhaps addiction in my life : )
There are talk, theory, ideas .So I don't clam to be an expert , I'm just Ginga insane and like to talk, write. Perhaps we together on the blog can find clues, theory, idea's about the merchandise, item's. And bring more lights on things"
! Beware !
The Blog site can give out spoilers (I will warn aswell) And I can also write about topic that can have violence, bloody contain.
Many of
Yoshihiro Takahashi can hold such theme & contain. But I probably will warn at the start on the blog, is that is necessary.
Other then that there are just my thought and ideas as a ginga insane collector ; )

Shin Gaiden & badges packet

I just love when a packet arrives , especially when you are curious about the items in the packet
So in the start of this month I got my packet from Urumi.fi/

Yes I can be a bit slow to update , sorry
I have been planning to order the Finnish Shin Gaiden , Sankaritarinoita (The Hero Stories) vol 1-2.
But I never took a change to order the manga's

So I were happy to get the manga's
I also order four badges, pin with Ginga Nagareboshi Gin and Yamato
But as a surprised I got a booklet, short manga that have small page from some manga's 

Like 12 pages from Ginga Densetsu Weed, the prologue
I just love the cute badges, pins and I already had the two with Ginga Nagareboshi Gin.
But thought way not , it's good to have some extra

The Yamato badges I have been looking for a time .
So I were vary happy to get the two  ^^

-------------------------------

Useful Links & Site's 

To know the price on items you probably need a converter to check the price
Here are some converter site you can take a look at

Forex Bank converter                                                                                                          
- Chose to: English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish language.
 XE - converter                                                                                                                                                   
- Language English.
Good way to see the different money converter when you thinking to bid or shop.

Worldclock                                                                                                                              
 - Look what time it's in other country's.

Weed & G comics Manga

As you could see in ; A Package Arrives
I got two of the newest manga with Weed

There aren't any special with the manga, if you hoping about :Weed stickers, postcards, poster and so It's the manga with Weed and the so called : Monkey war or arc
It's interesting idea about the Monkey war or arc
And here we get to Know more about weed's family
Well I will not say no more, because it can be spoilers for peoples who haven read, seen the manga's. 


The date release :
Volume 1
2013  年 4 月20 日
Volume 2
2013 年 5 月10 日
There is 344 pages on vol 1 , With adds in count
At vol 2 there is the same , with the adds.


The one thing is at the back of both manga's  or perhaps the best ting is the competition.
The First competition. ends at the 10th of June.
And the you can win Orion manga's (As far I can see) Vol 1-22
The Ginga Densetsu Weed plushies, nice to see them one more ^^
But also Weed & Orion Tosho Card
See more about the Phone & Tosho-cards from mine early blog

The second competition end of the 24 th of June
There are most the same prizes as on the first manga,
but inserted of Weed plushies (NO plushies here) you can get the Ginga Densetsu Weed ; Towel.

I guessing there are a limed number on the item's , as you can see in the photos. 

For me the both manga remind me of following :
Ginga Densetsu Weed Special: Gajou no Kettou-Hen Jou-Kan & Ginga Densetsu Weed Tokubetsu-ban - Weed Gaiden & Riki-Hen
Both four manga had competition to win ginga items.
Ginga Densetsu Weed Special Publication.Vol : 1-3 




The Ginga Densetsu Weed Special: Gajou no Kettou-Hen Jou-Kan release in March the year of 2004.
And can show up in auction or second hand manga stores .
 Also the Ginga Densetsu Weed Tokubetsu-ban - Weed Gaiden & Riki-Hen
As you hear have the Weed Gaiden & the Riki story's in the manga .
Not forgetting the competition to win ginga items. On th back side like the other three manga's
This manga were release in November, in the year 2005
 
Image (C) 7netshopping.jp
With the G comics (  Gコミックス ) manga there have also been other manga's out with Weed, as those  Weed Special Publication . As you see in the photo  
 Those eight manga were release between the years of : 2009 -2010

As some review too be the third edition of Weed Manga's.
I myself I think that the Ginga Densetsu Weed Special: Gajou no Kettou-Hen Jou-Kan are NOT one edition.
Just Special Publication, extra manga's .
For I know, to many outside Japan have their own theory's about the edition of manga to Ginga series.
But I think that this is more logical .
Well it's my thought ..... 

I wonder if it's true that the G comics , Gコミックス  manga's are limed release.
For the can be a bit hard to get by now
If you don't find them on auction site or secondhand stores with manga's

At in some Japaneses secondhand manga store you can get them for a lower price.
Then for example Ebay , sometimes. There they can be more expensive.


------------

I will update with a bit more photos about the new Weed manga soon

History of Heroes

I got a hold on the Nes game from Japan  for a year ago.
Yes I'm a bit slow to update some thing that have arrives in my collection, I know  ^^
Anyway  the Games name are :  
Famicom Jump Hero Retsuden
A
Nes game from Japan
It's translates to "History of Heroes"
Image From Wikipedia
But that thing that I react when I saw this game were ;
It's a Bear from
Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin series,   That Look like Akakabuto 
Close up on the cover you can see Akakabuto bear, at lest what look like him
Well ,that thing I were right about 

As you know Yoshihiro Takahashi  started to publish the
Ginga Nagareboshi Gin series in the Japanese magazine : Weekly Shōnen Jump.
From the year 1983 , until the year of 1987.
There were  at the end of a year about 52 volumes that came out one a week.
So yes there are much volumes that I myself try collect 

Any way in the year of 1989 there were the 20th anniversary of Shueisha's manga anthology Weekly Shōnen Jump, a game were created by Bandai (
Publisher) and TOSE (Developers)
In February 15 , the year 1989 the game were released 
* Note some sites say the year 1988
But I follow the majority and what says at the info at the Game booklet.


The Game Platform are  Famicom, NES 
The game Box (front & back), The manual booklet and the Game
 If you read here on : Wikipedia_Famicom Jump: Hero_Retsuden
There you can read about the characters that are in and also one other thing
It's says at the site that the game represented series in with
Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin

And of course other series that were publish with Weekly Shōnen Jump... 

 Quote from : Giantbomb  what the Game are aboute ;
 " Famicom Jump: Hero Retusden (sometimes Famiom Jump: Eiyuu Retsuden) is an RPG that follows the adventures of a young Jump fan after he is mysteriously drawn into the world of the comic.
In order to defeat the various evils plaguing the comic world and find his way home, he must locate 16 of the comics' protagonists and request their help.
Occasionally this means solving puzzles or helping them with their issues before they will join."
"The 16 Heroes
One of the main objects of the game is to gather a selection of 16 notable Jump hero characters in order to use them to fight against the enemies in this world."
Since I can't link the youtube video (computer or web problem) I will link the video instead   BANDAI - Famicom Jump Hero Retsuden 
It's a
TV commercials for the Game

---

 ! Beware of sometime high Sound and some Spoilers !


At the Video  on youtube you can get an idea how that game are
And if you look at 06.47-06.49 there are what look like a bear creature
But maybe it's my imagination that play with me .. I just though that look like
Akakabuto
