Since I'm lazy and Cartoon Network hasn't kept it with the episodes, what is the opening theme to Big O? And where can I lay my hands on a copy?

also, where do people generally get their cool action figures from online? anyone really reputable?

The song is entitled simply "Big O", and it does appear one place in the CN run so far - it plays during Big O's episode-ending battle in one of last week's episodes, I forget which one. It's basically Queen's "Flash Gordon" theme ("Flash! A-ah! He's a miracle!") with the guitar lick replaced by the phrase "Big O" ("Big O, Big O BIG O!"). :)

As for where you can get it, the Big O soundtrack is available from CD Japan (www.cdjapan.co.jp). Mine should be arriving within the next few days.

I'm fond of RoboZone (www.robozone.com), but Gerry, the guy who runs it, has had some personal problems (his dad died and his only employee quit last month), so service may be a little slow. I put up with it 'cause I like Gerry and he treats his customers well, but YMMV.

Mm, yes, end of ep 9 ("Beck Comes Back"). Notable also for its great look into just HOW Roger became the best negotiator in Paradigm City.... ;)

CD Japan. hmm. I could go through CD Japan... or I could have my Yokohama contact hook me up. Hmmm. tempting.

Ard
needs to take advantage of the Yokohama contact before he comes to UIUC this summer. ;)
