just ordered this.
definitely worth grabbing
the wiki barely has a page on them, so this is a great reference tool

I figured it out thanks to you ... we're all making this too difficult. We can just go to their english website and order the book there.

i preordered this one at the beginning of the month
http://www.capturedprey.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=584
still waiting for the arrival but it will be worth it
a six figure combiner seems really ambitious for these, but the flicks look cool so we will see what happens
plus its a guaranteed set with no dupes
