I recieved a present from my brother that was in total Japanese, or asian,
or whatever the fuck Kanji Scripts are for, apparently an import straight from
Japland...

Fear not, my Spankyness is not critical...yet, for it was:

The Combat DigiQ Tiger/Sherman set

Konami's Combat DigiQ remote controlled mini tanks are among the more impressive and fun gadgets we've seen in a long time. Great for breaks during long hours at the office or at home with the kids, these tanks are designed for battle with as many as three other tanks at the same time. These tiny RC tanks can climb up steep inclines and move over uneven surfaces, with the twin treads rotating independently to allow for in-place 360 degree rotations. A great deal of attention was paid to realism, as evidenced by the tank's accurate design and backwards recoil when firing its infrared light beam at enemy tanks. Enemy tanks spin around and emit lights from the undercarriage when they are hit. For even more realism, the Rotating Turret models can rotate the tank turret independently of the movement of the tank, with a 120-degree rotation span. Read below for additional details, including detailed information about the different modes of battle.

Now...why the fuck is it that we have to put our instruction sets in multiple
languages, english, french, spanish, and Japanese, but the Japs just put
Japanese on THEIR manuals, fuck the foreigners...why can't WE DO THAT?

That's the price for living in the world's melting pot. :wink:

Actually, when I saw the title of the thread I thought Shep was turning into Spanky in the politics department.

Compared to the percentage of foreigners here, there are a negligible number of non-Japanese speaking people in Japan.

Yeah, those Japanese tanks are great. I think they do a line of minatures, too.

Can you drive that little Gundam toy by remote control? No? Didn't think so :P

(watches Shep drive his little tanks, repeatedly, over the powerless Gundams :D )

No, but it'll have hours of love put into building it :P

When I get an RC Dom, that would also run rings round the puny tank. :P

Can a remote-controlled tank climb up the vertical side of a dresser? No? didn't think so. :P

(watches Shep's tank slam into the wood, repeatedly, while the gundam watches from three feet up :D )

Well, that's a perfectly effective tactic.

*Gundam falls off dresser as dresser shakes from repeated impacts*

You must have a pretty crappy dresser if a toy tank can knock stuff off of it*

:P

That would be impressive considering these things are about 2.5 inches
long, and 1 inch high

YOU GOT THOSE??!?

Man, I am so fucking jealous. I was considering buying one in Japan, but they were like US$65, and I didn't want to buy two...

It would be great if people would build scale tanks with BB guns and have mock battles, like those scale battleship re-enactments.

Man those things are cool!

I like the little Subaru Impreza they've got as well.
