...alright, someone has to get this out of the way. Who thought of something very different when they read 'blow-up doll'...?

Anyway since I'm in Japan I'll be seeing this movie, it'll probably be lots of fun, so I want to see if I can manage to snag that toaster as well. My mornings will be so much happier with Yui's goofy face on my toast.

Did anyone else read it as "K-ON toaster blows up" at first? Laughing

I'd rather have an Azusa toaster--I don't like my bread all ふわふわ and all Razz

Damn, Japan gets all the cool stuff. I wouldn't mind Yui cheering up my morning toast.

Your not the only one, when I first read that, that is what I thought as well. Although I am sure that it could happen, either by accident or if taken apart and modified in a way that could cause a toaster to blow up.

@MJP +10 karma for the Spaceballs reference!

When I saw blow up doll I thought 'ummmm yeah', I think they should have worded that differently. I am curious if the wording will effect ticket sales. Wink

*Raises hand*
And it likely exists, it just so happens NOT to be this one (though this is no less ridiculous).

Yup, though what really got me was this...

Lawson will begin shipping the toasters to people who pre-order the bundle on January 5, 2011.

Screw the toaster, how much for the bundle with time machine?
