For the record, Disney Store will no longer carry it. Target, Walgreens and K-Mart at the moment don't have them, but I am sure sometime in the future.

By Lost Episode Special, do you mean the episode of Dino Thunder titled Lost And Found In Translation? Because that's when I found out, although I always knew it was Japanese-inspired.

No I do not, I mean the episode that aired during Lost Galaxy with Austin St. John and Walter Jones and had the pilot, do I have to make a post of this?
