That's a lotta random merchandise. But I guess it'll be cheaper than getting similar things from Japan...

It had to happen eventually.

Cue the hordes of Nuhrewtoe-merchandise-toting kids. And run for your lives. Sad

Right, and we sure wouldn't want any little kids, who the show and manga were intended for, to be enjoying our elitist little hobby now would we?

I say bring it on. The day American kids walk around with Naruto merch is one for celebration.

I second that RodimusBen! Naruto is finally in the hands of its target audience (kids who dont know what a bittorrent is)! I hate the mentality of older Naruto fans who think otherwise. You never hear any older Harry Potter fan speak ill of its younger fan base.

In and ONLY IN Japan. You must remember that Japanese kids have brains and also watch anime like "Girls Locker Room Lust" and "La Blue Girl"

Our kids over here are idiots because their raised by idiots.

I was a little scared at first to even start liking Naruto because of the 20 to 40 year old Narutards that worship it.

It would've been cool if Upper Deck had integrated Naruto into the Vs. system CCG. Then you could've had Gaara fight Magneto and such. Smile
