Lupin the Merch!

[VampireNaomi]

They are releasing each figure once a month starting from Oct 2015 with Lupin, Nov 2015 with Jigen and Dec 2015 for the sitting Lupin figure and the sitting Fujiko figure. Just to give you a heads up Lupin and Fujiko are going to be sold separately.

Sounds good. I have no idea if I'll end up getting any, but it's good to hear they aren't all coming out at the same time so that it's easier to budget.

Yup! They are highly detailed, too. Could somebody post a photo of this "sitting figures"? I haven't been able to find any myself

I'm thinking about grabbing a few Lupin soundtracks. If someone is familiar with these Cagliostro soundtracks, which one would you suggest? This one or this one?

Out of the two I would suggest the original soundtrack over the music file one. The music file one has all of the music and background music from the movie so some of the tracks will be only a couple of seconds long. I think it might go through the music in chronological order. The other one is your standard music soundtrack where it will have extended versions of the main music from the movie and variations of them and plus they might have been remastered as well.

I personally do not have either of those CDs but I have the  older Cagliostro soundtrack that came with the 5 CD box set that came with the soundtrack from the first two series plus Lupin vs the Clone and The Legend of Babylonian Gold soundtracks as well.

 I would also suggest getting the Boss Anime more Lupin! Lupin!! Lupin!!!

[VampireNaomi]

Thanks, that definitely settles it. And thanks for the More Lupin! Lupin!! Lupin!!! rec, too. I hadn't noticed that one before, but it looks like it has a lot of great tracks. I'm pretty tempted by the soundtracks from the Fujiko Mine series and the Gravestone OVA and also that jazz CD that has songs in Portuguese, but I'm not sure I want to spend that much money. Tough choices to make.

"CD that was released as original album of "Lupin the 3rd (TV 2nd series)" is here once again.
Audio mastering has been done to the original masters after making them into 96kHZ 24bit data. Blu-spec CD has been selected for more high quality sound."

Also up on CDJapan but no details there. Wondering if it really needs 3 CDs for the 2nd series or if the description is inaccurate and maybe one for each series???

Wow...on a lark today while in the middle of my workout at the gym I thought "maybe I should check HLJ"; I'd been checking pretty much daily since Big In Japan listed the Jigen figure. I had checked Thursday night and didn't bother Friday night because...well it was Friday night (Sat Morning in Japan), not exactly prime time for listing new product preorders. Anyways HLJ listed the Jigen figure and both versions of the Creator X Creator Fujiko figures this morning. In fact the black variant wasn't even available yet when I checked but became available about 15 minutes later. Anyways couldn't post all this on my phone at the time, but here are the links:

Master Stars Jigen Figure (Still available): http://hlj.com/product/BNP36032/Fig
CxC Fujiko Pink (Still available): http://hlj.com/product/BNP36005-A/Fig

Also all of the others were available this morning but have since gone out of stock, still worth checking periodically as HLJ preorder products seem to come available again before release on many occasions:

Master Stars Lupin: http://hlj.com/product/BNP49897/Fig
CxC Lupin A: http://hlj.com/product/BNP49959-A/Fig
CxC Lupin B: http://hlj.com/product/BNP49959-B/Fig
Fujiko CxC Black: http://hlj.com/product/BNP36005-B/Fig

I'm really, really glad HLJ is stocking these, as they often pass on Lupin items. I don't like Big in Japan's limit of 1 piece per customer as I usually buy duplicates and paying shipping for a single inexpensive piece like these is silly, so I'm glad I can stick them in my HLJ private warehouse and ship together or with one of my Bandai or Arcadia Valks that are coming in Nov/Dec.

Technically, I spotted this through Dale first, but I also saw it on CR. Salute Lupin's shorts.    Oh, and via the Blue Lupin Twitter and @telecom_anime, now you can play with Lupin's golf balls.  Edit: Really? They even labeled 'em 'extra soft'?!

Castle of Cagliostro scale model is now 40% off on Hobby Link Japan for 19,800 Yen.

This was on TeeFury yesterday (sorry I didn't post sooner! ) Looks like they still have them left, too!!

[DrFurball]

Likewise, Pop Up Tee has several anime designs, such as one based on Cagliostro.

Matter of fact, I bought one.
